As Robert Jenrick jumps ship, Reform’s “new politics” looks more like a spin cycle for the same people behind 14 years of decline.

The Reform pitch is increasingly “the last government was terrible, so we’ve hired everyone who was in it”.

Never forget: the people who hate their country most are those who style themselves "patriots".

The only Legitimate Concerns about asylum seekers are concerns for their well being and safety. For a rich country like ours to incessantly whine about these people as if we are their victims is perhaps the single most pathetic spectacle in British politics over the past quarter century.

The only way to defeat extremism is to be radical; radically honest and determined. Not take this shit any more. Tell people the truth. Why we need immigration. Why Brexit is a shitheap. Why our public services can’t cope. Why our economy is stuck… Anything other than that, Nigel is laughing at you.

Once every 20 years or so, the director-general of the BBC is forced to resign for being insufficiently rightwing. Alastair Milne in 1987. Greg Dyke in 2004. Tim Davie in 2025. The great irony is that the BBC was in all cases profoundly biased towards established power. But just not biased enough …

The fall of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor is no fall at all. It comes ELEVEN years too late and has only happened as a damage limitation exercise. We need to start having a grown up conversation about monarchy... and I'm starting it here. Me @noosphere.app www.noosphere.app/cast-into-th...

👀 BREAKING NEWS: Charles has just been heckled in Lichfield about his complicity in covering up accusations against Andrew. Time to investigate Andrew. Royal Epstein Inquiry NOW. #NotMyKing #AbolishTheMonarchy #Epstein

Staffordshire County Council is ignoring the fact that many of the Union flags on the Western Bypass in Lichfield have 'Unite the Kingdom' written on them. Therefore, these are not just national flags, but far right political slogans. The county flag protocol say that modified flags cannot be flown.

Liverpool above combined Everton and Man United points on goal difference.

Because you have two homes?

We take tariffs on our beautiful Heard Island very seriously. We will be consulting all mammals and flightless birds and will make an announcement in the near future detailing our response. #heardisland #tariff #mcdonaldisland #trumptariff

That’s three wins in a row in the last ten days against the sportswashing vanity projects of human rights abusing Gulf petrostates. 💪 #LFC

😍😍😍

Free kick for Beto's goal was a dive. Second yellow for Gueye ignored. Fouls on Mo ignored. Clash of heads at 94.06. Stopped for a minute, he played extra 2.5 minutes. Konate fouled, but VAR afraid to overrule Oliver. Constant free kicks for their dives. 20 fouls with 64% possession and 9 by them.

One of the worst refereeing performances I've ever seen. Oliver is an absolute disgrace.

68% possession, but we've committed 10 fouls to their 6?

Good job the result doesn't matter, this ref is a clown.

On 27 Feb my book comes out. It’s about how Liverpool’s recent history should change the way we think about modern Britain. On this thread every few days till then, I will tweet an extraordinary fact about Liverpool’s twentieth-century. Pre-order here: www.waterstones.com/book/liverpo...

"And to Musk, Zuckerberg and company, in Europe we have a market of millions of users that provide money to your companies, yes. But we also love protecting our citizens and democracies by making laws. [...] You can always take your Nazi salutes and your masculine energy and go back home."

What a result in the fake Allez Allez Allez derby.

Diaz thrives with open spaces to run into. Strange to pick him as number 9 against a team with giant centre backs who are permanently camped on the edge of their own box.

The Mourinho school of football. "If you have the ball, you can make a mistake". Forest have no interest in possession. But they do love a long throw.

Well well well……… open.substack.com/pub/tomkinst...

Father Ted allowing constant time wasting.

Mo Salah overtakes Billy Liddell, my Dad's childhood hero. And Mo has been 'fouled' in the premier league only 34 more times than he's scored. 204 v 170. In 7.5 seasons. Incredible.

There seems to be a very high bar for opposition players to get sent off against Liverpool.

Arrived just in time for the work Christmas party @propertees.bsky.social
