Can't explain what the hard left is.

Lol, FIFA can intervene on your behalf but you still need to actually play the game lads. 4-1? Pathetic.

Cristiano Ronaldo: what if a mall in Dubai was a person

Not been watching the world cup, personal choice, no judgement on anyone else, I've not watched the last few - but I had to make an exception for the final 10 minutes of Ronaldo being a massive loser to end his international career.

I like how Americans are now for some reason being forced to argue everyone in Europe loves Ronaldo and were thrilled when FIFA bently let him off because they wanted him appearing in games. Let it go guys.

Changing the top of an institutionally corrupt organisation will do very little to change said organisation. See the Metropolitan Police. World football needs to be taken apart and rebuilt from the ground.

“It’s just a game, man” yeah that’s why it’s weird to be so defensive about what we all know happened here!

We're entering the banter zone. FIFA ending up in a position where refs can't give out cards is gold.

Look guys, between losing your minds about AC and defending FIFA, I think it's probably fine if you take a break over there for a bit.

Love how we're at the lawyering our way out of obvious observed corruption stage of this now.

This is so fucking funny.

Don't back down, double down.

This useful explainer from the Guardian leaves a key implication unsaid: the longer fossil fuel-powered NIMBY campaigns can stall renewable build-out, the more they can claim "renewables don't lower bills."

All US football fans suddenly.

Lol, not watching the world cup has become more correct by the minute.

Director of a Gaza Hospital, Dr Hussain Abu Safiya is in horrific danger to his life. The Foreign Secretary must demand Israel provides urgent treatment and releases him. He's been detained by Israel without charge since 2024 and reported to have new life threatening injuries.

Since apparently this isn't making it beyond UK news yet, Rockstar petitioned a British court to section an 18 year old autistic kid under the mental health act for hacking their server and leaking a short GTA 6 clip a couple of years ago. No trial, no term of sentence, just locked up in hospital.

“There's nothing guaranteed about our democracy. We have to fight for it, defend it, and earn it. Over and over, year after year.” uh Joe, you literally didn’t do that when you were president. that’s part of the reason why Trump is back in office.

Can I introduce you to waterproof clothing? It's like AC, but for the rain.

Pardon? Just crank the AC tho? What are you, gay Europeans? www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Farage only became able to dominate the political landscape because the media and political class allowed him to - because they like a lot of the things he says. He is also the most corrupt scandal ridden criminal imaginable, so it is not surprising to see even the slightest scrutiny flooring him.

For the first time ever, from April 2025 to April 2026, solar energy outproduced ‘natural gas’ in Asia. First coal, now ‘natural gas’… the fossil fuel dominos are falling… and they said it cant be done…

Youth unemployment is at 16% and the child poverty rate sits at around 30%. Using literally any metric that means something, Starmer's government has completely failed young people - disastrously so. Journalists, if they were real, would simply hit him with these numbers whenever he says anything.

It's cool how he got to interview his wife, a minister in government from the same party he's a member of, and we all had to pretend that wasn't exactly what we all saw it was.

If you can't answer the question, probably shouldn't be using the word. Amazing how many people don't understand this simple concept.

Living in the UK is like unwillingly participating in a mass mental breakdown because the people who govern us have completely lost legitimacy and engage in nonsense to distract from that reality.

It's cool how a lot of Americans don't understand their own electoral system. Really fills me with confidence.

Someone's realised they can make a political comeback on the right wing grifting spectrum I see.

It's 2007 baby, what could go wrong?

Starmer fucking up UK infrastructure even more, while also making thousands of people unemployed on his way out the door is really a masterstroke.

Everyone who thinks it's bad to cut state investment in other areas so we can give the money to US arms manufacturers is pro Russian.

Sde Teiman is the prison where Israeli guards were caught on camera raping a Palestinian prisoner After the 2025 'ceasefire' Israel handed over hundreds of Palestinian bodies, many marked with the letters ST, thought to refer to Sde Teiman. They had been beaten/tortured to death

The nonce and sex offender particles surrounding and permeating this party are detectable from space. It's getting to the point where every person in the PLP needs to be investigated as a precaution.

It's crazy how Iran so obviously has the US over a barrel but the US won't tell Israel to stop killing kids.

These people should be viewed as the dangerously unhinged extremists they are, and their attempts to terrorise the population should be condemned.

This can't be right. I've been assured by *checks notes* The Economist, that there's no money for anything.

King of the north update. It's going well.

PM Netanyahu walking into his trial, peeking and running away

People like Ian only avoid their minds imploding from all the internal contradictions by being like goldfish and resetting every morning.

It's pretty mad that James Purnell's researcher was convicted of possessing CSAM that he downloaded using Purnell's own computer. He denies any knowledge, of course. Feel like there should be more scrutiny of this guy, because like everything in Labour, it's 1 degree of separation from a nonce.

I'm absolutely fascinated to see what people are welcome in that "broadest possible coalition" and I think I already know the answer.

Growth mentioned ten times. Climate mentioned zero times. A reminder that the green economy is worth £100bn a year, benefits every part of the UK, and green jobs are paid 11% above the average wage. Burnham must stamp out creeping climate skepticism and deliver for people and for nature.

He's already committed to the exact fiscal and political framework of the person he's replacing and hiring people who are responsible for how we got here. So we will, in fact, go on like this. Because they can't allow any other way.

I think it's fair to ask why a guy who was a mayor last week, has no policies that we know of other than contradictory leaks, and is already announcing various Blair henchmen to his team, just gets to be PM with not even an internal party contest. Truss was a more legitimate PM by any metric.

Just one possible outcome... but the GFS weather forecast model is suggesting 40-41°C is possible in the UK around 7th July. This is a long-range forecast with significant uncertainty, but the fact that we are even seeing such values fairly regularly in the forecasts is extraordinary.
