By-election as councillor quits 'after calling city a 'third world ****hole'' www.birminghammail.co.uk/news/midland...

The first footballing superstar I watched from the terraces. Shankly's new team. The start of it all. Perms for men included.

Well he talks the talk. Now let’s see if he can walk the walk.

Gap between the pay of FTSE 100 CEOs and UK workers the widest for 8 years. Median pay of FTSE 100 CEO increased from £4.66m in 2024/25 to £5.06m in 2025/26. UK bosses get 130 times average worker’s salary, often for mediocre performance. Workers generate wealth but have no say on exec pay.

The view across Europe: Keir Starmer was a solid British PM, like a majority of the 7 PMs over the last ten years. His problem was having to cope with England's completely lunatic media, which understands its function to be toppling governments as a form of popular entertainment.

The guy who wants you to stop talking about Jeffrey Epstein is the same guy who is still whining about losing the 2020 election.

Elon Musk and MAGA were sure The Odyssey would be a huge failure but instead it’s a huge success and everyone loves it. These stupid assholes are wrong about absolutely everything that has or ever will happen.

Seeing some “Tate dresses like a gay man” comments and wanted to say two things: 1. Nothing wrong with being a gay man/fuck homophobia. 2. Y’all need some gay friends because I have many and not one of them would dress like that even for Halloween.

Chris Mason is on the television managing to deliver so many words and say so little at the same time.

NO 👇 LIES DETECTED.......

Billionaires aren't evidence the system works. They're evidence it stopped distributing the value everyone else created.

Microsoft is planning to build three massive AI data centres in Leeds. It’ll drain thousands of litres of water from the River Aire & become the city's biggest carbon emitter. We can still stop the council's final sign-off, but we need more voices. Add your name: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/pr...

I miss when technology was exciting. Google was cool, search worked, information felt wildly, wonderfully accessible. Amazon was a wonderland of book discovery. The Kindle is a marvel! And now it's all the rancid sadism of dull men.

Absolutely. 🔥 Brexit is a clusterfuck, we need to rejoin the EU 🔥 Climate change is killing us, we need net zero 🔥 The NHS and social care are dying, we need the rich to pay more tax 🔥 Full employment is never happening again, we need UBI

We don't bring back hope again by burning the planet and giving in to the fossil fuel industry. Hope and a plan is bringing in wealth taxes, rent controls and investing in renewables. That's how we make hope normal again. Join.greenparty.org.uk

Please tell #fionabruce that Burnham is elected #bbcnews. Elected as a MP and as leader of the Labour Party, even if it has been a slightly less than conventional process.

Yesterday, the Argentine football team showed the world they are the most pathetic losers.

Trump has disbanded the foreign influence task force in the FBI… All while he claims foreign influence in our own elections. Actions. Speak. Louder. Than. Words. 😎✨

Updated my profile. Again.

First country to insist on singing their own anthem in a match that doesn't involve them at any world cup. The US is a deeply insecure place.

Burnham very specific on one thing - "ending rough sleeping"...as an immediate thing to tackle

Watching Trump try to get into the World Cup photo, then shuffle off because no-one was paying attention to him, was the perfect ending to this evening.

Just why, @andyburnham.bsky.social Why fall down at the altar of fossil fuel worship? I guess if you wanted to dash all hope that this Labour would be any better than the past, you've done that on day one. More status quo. More death and destruction. Got it. #KeepItInTheGround

Chris Mason is such a piss poor political commentator. I cannot bear his voice either.

It's fascinating to watch commentators who sat completely silently for a decade as the Conservative Government changed its leader four times in a row mid-term, now suddenly discover such a keen interest in the concepts of 'mandates' and 'legitimacy'

Tories, Farage and the tantruming tabloids whining about Burnham needing a mandate and the country needing an election… just get in the bin. Your histrionics over the last decade have caused this instability and perma-outrage. A bunch of entitled inadequates unable to accept Labour being in power.

"I know what a pain Andys can be..."

Clive Myrie just reassured BBC viewers that this is a "peaceful transfer of power", which I'm sure will come as a relief to everyone.

There’s something so wrong with everyone in this administration. www.theverge.com/policy/96144...

I’m so sick of Trump talking like he’s the only one who thinks America can do great things. Millions of Americans do great things, and most of them don’t go bankrupt, sexually assault anyone, or get convicted of fraud in the process. Trump is the only limp fuckstick who sucks at life that much.

🎩 Gee, it seems like everyone around Donald Trump, turns out to be a pedophile What a coincidence, so many pedophiles surrounding him It’s almost as if, Trump might be a pedophile himself, nah that’s crazy right Just a reminder, Trump helped Andrew Tate get out of trouble and come to America!

Booing Donald Trump is the closest thing to a national anthem for the world.

Congratulations Spain!

Please don’t ever let Americans ever have anything to do with football again

Too many Bluesky liberals think posting Trump insults (that he'll never see) is more important than taking action. But inaction is our destruction. If you can't go through him, go around him with state and local action.

The US should be banned from hosting anything to do with football ever again.
