The very definition of a private army.

Aaronson was superb for Leeds tonight. Great shift.

Part of me hopes Reform get to form the government at the next election just so the public can see the reality behind the facade. I’m fairly sure Farage really doesn’t want that to happen. I think there will be a merger with the Tories in advance. Pressure party rather than a government.

Cock-up or conspiracy? Occam’s razor says cock-up. But bloody hell. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Hehehe…

"Amazing result for Plaid Cymru, so here's a guest from Reform anyway..."

Anyone else getting a feeling that there is gonna be a huge financial crash sooner rather than later?

Very brave second half performance. Hatate magnificent. Scales MoM. 🍀 #Celticfc

The last 15 mins Tounetki and Hatate showing that we play much better when you try hard. Hoping some of the other players get the idea. Starting to think Nygren is pish.

Brann fans singing “you’re getting sacked in the morning” to Rohl (in English) is genius 😂😂😂😂

Quite an unfortunate place to drift off into an ellipsis.

It’s all Brann at the moment 👀

Grim news.

Five pages on this specific thread, including one post about the fact that he should be wearing a Windsor knot in his tie.

Thrilled to be nominated for Scoop of the Year at the British Journalism Awards for the Afghan data leak story and superinjunction. Testament to the fantastic team @newsagents.bsky.social and @globalplayer.com.

It’s so important for disabled people to feel like a valued member of society, contributing in their own way. My disabled daughter volunteers in a couple of cafes and I cannot emphasise enough the importance of these positions to her life. Well played Asda.

Can someone check with the government to see if Russia is a hostile state before it all goes tits up. Cheers.

@mrjamesob.bsky.social Re: mystery hour Guinness question This is a BBC archive of the last pub in Belfast to use two barrels to pour a pint of plain (Guinness was done similarly). It is an amazing video, it is an incredible mix of poetry, sadness and nostalgia. youtu.be/ZKDwwVR5fd4?...

BREAKING: A former paratrooper known as Soldier F has been found not guilty at Belfast Crown Court of committing two murders and five attempted murders on Bloody Sunday in Derry in 1972

But, but, but……

Oldham-born J.R. Clynes, the first Englishman to lead the Labour Party, died on this day 1949.

‘The threat couldn’t be more urgent and imminent. Yet here we are, still putting our head in the sand.’ @carolecadwalla.bsky.social says it’s ‘peculiar’ that the case of Farage ally Nathan Gill admitting to making pro-Russia speeches for cash isn’t being followed more closely.

Thank you to @mrjamesob.bsky.social for having me on, one of the v few people in the UK press to follow this story during what is now a decade of media apathy &/or complicity

I actually couldn’t believe this was a “crime” when I heard about it.

I was not expecting the story about Chop 💔 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

Harvey Barnes has just scored a goal that reminded me of Tony Watt’s against Barcelona all of those years ago.

Intelligence on ‘extreme’ Maccabi fans with history of violence led to Villa Park ban

Well, well, well. It seems that all the usual suspects were wrong all along. Imagine that, imagined antisemitism used as a weapon. This shit completely undermines real, unimagined antisemitism and causes problems for our peaceful Jewish communities.

That’s the worst decision I have seen in football for a long long time. Olympiacos have a goal disallowed v Barcelona because they should have been awarded a penalty on the build up. No advantage played. Thankfully they scored the pen, but what a load of shite ffs.

Leeds United have announced Harry Gray's signature on a first professional contract. The club describes it as a 'long-term deal', but is choosing not to specify its expiry date. Turned 17 this month. You don't need me to stress the importance of tying him down. #lufc

For the first time in 2 years, Boris Johnson will give evidence at the Covid Inquiry this morning. But bereaved families have been blocked from asking him a single question after being excluded from Module 8. Children who lost parents, parents who lost children: silenced.

This article by @jonathanliew.bsky.social is absolutely spot on the money. Truly a voice we need to hear right now. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Daniel Kinahan is one of the most powerful cocaine traffickers in the world—but he lives a strikingly public life in Dubai, shopping at malls and consorting with famous boxers like Tyson Fury.

🚨🔵 Danny Rohl has just arrived in Glasgow to sign his contract as new Rangers manager.

Hmmm…….

Very, very rough.

What a fucking opening paragraph this is!

Days like this.

Not Another Penny ✊🏻🍀

"Violence, demonstrations & racist chanting. It was scenes like this from Maccabis game in Amsterdam last year.. that led West Midlands police to advise that the Israeli fans be banned" Notice how it isn't made clear it was the Israeli fans doing the racist chanting & violence

This is shameful and un-American. The people have a right to ask what their military is doing, and we shouldn’t have to buy just the official line.

Away to Benalmadena for a few days for one of the lad’s 60th. Changed days. I expect the noise of the unwrapping of early morning meds to be like thunder in the apartment. 😁

POLITICO: “.. They referred to Black people as monkeys and ‘the watermelon people’ and mused about putting their political opponents in gas chambers. They talked about raping their enemies .. and lauded Republicans who they believed support slavery. @politico.com www.politico.com/news/2025/10...
