Oh how you underestimate us Victoria Coren. I had this on clue one. Question of the series so far! #OnlyConnect

He said "Amen" straight into the drop Lmao Pope Leo threw a rave for an archbishop's 75th birthday this is kind of incredible

Amen to that ❤️

No Shabana Mahmood. It is not. Global finance tore Britain apart in ‘08. We let them off, let austerity ravage it for years, completely f*cked it with Brexit, then Covid added a rancid cherry. What’s tearing Britain apart is scaremongering about illegal immigration. You should be f**king ashamed.

I am bewildered that this labour of Sisyphus is being carried out by volunteers, while Southern Water, which has admitted responsibility for the catastrophe, is doing nothing to remediate it.

Buckle up - because this now amounts to a direct and deliberate attack on our country and its cultural sovereignty. Which side our politicians take - Trump's or the BBC's - over the coming days and weeks will speak volumes about their patriotism.

We were proud to participate in the Remembrance Services today in Hertford, Ware and Buntingford. Never forget. Never again.

This is just a remarkable call for the referee to make- she's on the edge of the box, is behind Blackstenius' back in terms of her view and nobody appeals for handball www.youtube.com/shorts/HRLIO...

I’m not normally one to criticise referees but oh my god that match was a good advert for VAR.

The full transcript of Zohran Mamdani's acceptance speech is very much worth reading in full. Even if you don't agree with your politics, it's very beautifully put together. archive.is/8VqQJ [this is a useable link to the NYT transcript]

This is yet another example of how you beat the far right. By beating them, not trying to be them. By having your own agenda, not aping theirs. With courage and conviction - and humour - not fear and timidity.

I asked a while back about people collecting (and now missing) physical tickets and it got us thinking After a couple of months of work we made something amazing (props to tech wizard Andrew and our Merch Market team) Totally free, yours to use from Friday *sound up*

"it is striking how many of the key players we have looked into — the people who have gone out of their way to put up hundreds of flags — seem anything but ordinary." manchestermill.co.uk/the-men-who-...

My hot take on this its great that the journalist acknowledges that the Green Party is at record membership, record polling and has huge momentum. But why say "dentally challenged?" Who or what is that serving? The state of journalism.

Me and my poorly foot just managed 5km for the first time since April. Coming back from injury is so frustrating so it’s nice to hit a milestone! strava.app.link/q8bT5rnkRXb

Over 5% of the Reform councillors elected in May have now either resigned or been fired. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

According to racists, it’s racist to call racists racist. Makes you think.

My god, what an album…

Play isn’t just for playgrounds.

Nigel Farage promised that Reform councils would cut local government "waste" in order to slash taxes. Now the party's flagship Kent administration is set to actually raise taxes and has just started asking opposition parties for help after failing to identify the millions in savings they promised

Parties who aspire to power in the UK seem to need constant reminders that other countries exist, that British people live in them, and that those countries won't take kindly to the mistreatment of their citizens. (Only seven years after the Windrush scandal broke.)

When a book takes the words out of your mouth #AliSmith #Autumn #Booksky

Jenrick casting 1980s British football hooliganism as something that was easily dealt with by police and not an era defining issue which we're still living with the consequences of today... He's genuinely the most unserious person in British politics rn

The council is now proposing to increase the top slice it takes from its maintained schools by just over £2.2 million to pay for services which are currently subsidised

Odious, ill-informed little man. Reform haven’t even bothered to appoint an education spokesperson which tells me all I need to know about the value they place on children.

I will not back down. Trump is now calling for the arrest of elected representatives checking his power. What else is left on the path to full-blown authoritarianism?

I'm Jewish. I'm also Mancunian. Every other national party leader was interviewed by Laura Kunesberg during their conference. Maybe the BBC thought as someone who also supports Palestine - I had nothing to say? Let's keep growing: join.greenparty.org.uk

The government want more coercive powers for the state against protests, and the main opposition party wants more coercive powers for the state against migrants. Our political-media culture continues in a loop where the response to every perceived problem is yet more coercive powers for the state.

The government lacked 'leadership and determination' to get children back to school as lockdowns were lifted, Baroness Anne Longfield, the former children’s commissioner, has told the Covid inquiry

I’ve said it once, I’ll say it again. Ignore the haters, London is the 🐐

What's effectively happening here (in the British media at large, too) is the construction of "anti-racism" as somehow a "political alternative" to racism, rather than as a minimal civilisational standard, which in turn (further) vindicates racism as *also* an acceptable political position.

Amazing. If only there was some sort of crack squad of analysts they could send in to ensure government efficiency. They could call it DOGE. www.lincolnshirelive.co.uk/news/lincoln...

Just got it in one again for the third time this week! I think I’m finally getting the knack.

The far-right is in its pomp. We will have to fight for our values like never before. iandunt.substack.com/p/encounteri...

Got Unzoomed on round 1 with a random guess. I have reached the pinnacle of the day and it’s only 7.50am. www.unzoomed.com/en

Loath though he is to alienate floating racists, perhaps Starmer could rouse himself to condemn a violent fascist rally teeming with people who want him overthrown and/or killed

Keir Starmer should be old enough to remember that we didn't use to call them patriots, we called them football hooligans.

Appropos of the second picture, I once again state: share.google/bSwpxzV3NCh9...

Hannah Arendt said 'The death of human empathy is one of the earliest & most telling signs of a culture about to fall into barbarism' We saw the recent cruelty of MAGA denying empathy to Melissa Hortman Empathy for Kirk—not because he ever acted like a decent human—but because we are decent humans

NOTHING will prepare you for this 45-second story arc. From "I'm just doing this because I love the flag, it's totally grassroots, and I'm not part of anything political"... to who actually gave him the flags the night before. Anyone who believes it is an innocent movement needs to see this.

An amazing 6-0 win for Hertford Town Women in their first FA Cup game. Great match and such a promising start 🤞

4-1 win and I made it into the Arsenal programme. What a start to the season 🙂

A political party, that's topping the polls, lauding someone who called for human beings to be burned to death should be a moment for national self-reflection. This is not who we are nor who we should become. Reform UK are a plague on our national humanity. We must never permit them to govern.

The new face of Reform.
