Unelected Brussels bureaucrats though 😂

This is hugely problematic. The overwhelming majority in the UK reject the far right yet our views aren‘t being properly articulated in the public sphere: the papers largely support it, the BBC is a mix of supportive & supine, the government simply absent

How can voters believe government will stand up for them if it can’t even stand up for itself?

There is enough evidence of enablement of hate crimes to warrant a full Ofcom investigation into how it is using financial incentives to promote hate, harassment and real-world violence. The first responsibility of the State is to protect its people, and in 2025 that includes online.

Look, I know it means well but I really don’t think it’s a good idea to mock the appearance of some of the fash out today, nor their incoherence - not least because their process of online radicalisation is driven by both a sense of material helplessness and information overload

Out of interest, how many police officers have been attacked and injured by Palestine Action?

Will this get picked up on BBC and Sky like the BMG outlier showing them on 35% last week was. I doubt it. A

Baller. Such a shame we could only have him for that one season. Wish we could have had him back when he went on loan to Fulham. Not sure if I loved him or Gallagher more. #CPFC

It brings me no joy at all to see that it’s even dumber, more crass, more wildly reckless and more empty of thought than even I had believed it was

I know it's not going to happen but I would love a Rak-Sakyi redemption arc. He's not innocent in this but Palace have handled his development atrociously. #CPFC

Weird position to be in where the manager could walk away and I would fully support and understand him doing so. #CPFC

Sierra Leone imported enough solar panels in one year to make up 65% of their entire nation's generating capacity. If you're not preparing for massive drops in fossil fuel demand, you're not paying attention. electrek.co/2025/08/25/c...

Reform UK, which has a grand total of four MPs, was just given an uninterrupted platform for an hour and a half on the BBC and Sky News channels, in order to talk about its plans for mass deportations When was the last time the Greens (with four MPs) or the Lib Dems (with 72) were given the same?

This has been the position of about half of Britain’s national newspapers roughly since 2002, when Naomi Campbell successfully cited Article 10 in her case against Mirror Group for violating her privacy by taking pictures of her

“I don’t remember anyone ever saying to us ‘Oh I just don't think we're properly reflecting the Green Party view, or the liberal-left view on this story’,” one former BBC journalist told me. “It was always just slanted in one direction – which was basically the nativist, authoritarian direction.”

It’s a pretty common newsroom practice to say that protests of a few hundred (or even a few thousand) people aren’t headline news because they happen all the time. And it’s largely true. What I can’t explain is why even Ofcom regulated TV is determined to make *these* protests news.

Yeah, seeing that new Everton stadium… 8 years wasted on a single stand when we should have been going balls to the wall to replace the whole lot. #CPFC

Just seen rumours that Forest are looking at sacking Nuno due to tensions between him and Marinakis. Given the timeline we are all living through, I'm going to start mentally preparing for how that one might end... #CPFC

It is very nearly the tenth anniversary of that brief moment when, for 2 or 3 days, British newspapers remembered refugees are desperate human beings who need our help, rather than scum that it's okay to threaten with violence.

If Josh Harris has finally been convinced Palace are worth more involvement on his side and he is making this move so he can more freely put in the funds to progress us on and off the pitch then bring it on. That stadium he is planning in Washington is 🔝 + you know his wealth exists. #CPFC

Only this bloody club could be coming off the back of winning the FA Cup and making me feel pretty despondent about the upcoming season. I would say "never change, Palace!" but... yeah, definitely change. #CPFC

Can't disagree with Parish's statement, but a bit of contrition would go a long way. #CPFC

I think the most absurd thing about the Palace demotion is that being so pedantic and hardline on this case doesn't actually touch the multiple problems that multi-club ownership actually throws up. As someone in Uefa put to me, it's being strong on the negligible aspects.

Didn’t want to believe this was true. It’s true.

A time to repost this ahead of tomorrow! Couple more things to add: - As of 1 March, Lyon had been relegated been to Ligue 2 by DNCG so could not have participated in Europa League anyway = no conflict #CPFC

Arguably the greatest thing ever committed to print

This is true and also, increasingly, I am less and less understanding of a public that indulges these lies - because what is meant by illegal in too many minds is "inhuman". And that belief is encouraged by the media, yes, but at some point citizens have to take responsibility for it too.

Three billionaire owners but the Guessand move is apparently contingent on Eze leaving. This is despite us winning the FA Cup and heading into our first ever European season, and the stink that comes with the fumbling of our Europa League place. Plus ça change. #CPFC

This might be tinfoil hat but the speed run Labour did from Corbyn to this Reform lite doesn't happen by accident or even by people thinking it's good politics. It's a concerted effort to make Labour politically impotent and therefore destroy any chance of a meaningful left platform.

Blackstone needs to be broken up like Rockefeller's Standard Oil was broken up 100 years ago.

Because he doesn't believe Palestinian lives are equal to Israeli lives. Because he's totally lost his humanity in his bubble where he sees peoples lives as bargaining chips. And because the man is devoid of all principles and compassion. Next question.

LABOUR: we must protect children from predators LORD MANDELSON:

Really thought we'd progressed to a point we didn't need to take this money when we managed to get Cinch as our sponsor. Regressing to NET88 was embarrassing. #CPFC

Good, but again it was obvious enough what the project was intended to achieve that I - an idiot, who hammers beers and talks rubbish online - saw it in November 2023, so it’s unclear to me how the gigantic brains of politics, academia and media couldn’t see it. Unless they just… didn’t want to.

The Daily Mail’s front page there, celebrating a England footballer of Ghanaian descent while also telling migrants to get out of England. Truly, you couldn’t make their shit up.

Remember when scholars of authoritarianism told us he would go after his political opponents, unions, academia, and the media and people were like, “But Tim Walz got the date wrong from when he was in Tiananmen Square?”

“I'm only asking for a piece of bread... that's all," a 17-year-old boy at al-Shifa hospital tells the BBC, as food security body the IPC warns more than 1.5 million Gazans are at risk of severe malnutrition/ starvation. Nearly 500,000 are considered to be facing “catastrophe.”

Hunter Biden has a point. And a quite colorful one.

That this is presented by the media as “policy” is why we are in this mess. These are not serious people. These are monkey tennis ideas, as divorced from the reality of criminal justice as you might expect from a company fronted by multi-millionaire simpletons.

Jingoistic flag-waving for “stopping the boats”, but white flag-waving when it comes to foreign businesses owning our basic human rights. The question is always “can we afford to” and never “can we afford NOT to”, as if future generations will resent us for bringing water back into public hands.

I'm always fascinated by the idea of the wealthy 'leaving the UK' if you tax them more, as if there would never be any wealthy people ever again? That there aren't talented and smart people among us proles who might become wealth generators?

I truly hate being this person, but HOW, really how can it be #r4today headline news that Nigel Farage has claimed if he was king we’d all be twice as safe & happy ffs 😫 what are you doing?

Just saw a journalist and friend post about not eating properly in days in Gaza - then watched him live on TV. There is nothing more emblematic of the shameful indifference from many Western nations than watching those who bear witness to genocide slowly becoming consumed by a genocide
