Just looking at Chris Sutton’s predictions for this weekend. He (& his opponents to be fair) has had a mare. 2 correct results (& 1 was Man City) no correct scores. Really needs Everton to win 2-0 tomorrow!!!

The appalling behaviour by politically inspired American spectators at the Ryder Cup has clearly demonstrated why the Olympics and football World Cup matches should not be held in USA.

Just for information. If you send me an email out of the blue trying to sell me something I am not obliged to reply to it to tell you I'm not interested, and even when you send me the fourth or fifth one reminding me that I haven't replied, I am still not obliged to reply.

Nigel Farage's attendance record as an MEP was 748 out of 751, yet he turned up to vote AGAINST plans to tackle Russian disinformation. Now one of his MEPs has admitted taking bribes to spread Russian propaganda. Why is this not all over the media?

One thing I've learned from the Internet is that a lie needs 0% proof to be believed, but the truth requires thousands of pages of proof and still won't be believed.

idle thought: i wonder if the rush of ads for AI that promises to write student essays (euch) is at least partly the result of exam culture? if you make the target "get an A" instead of "discover interesting ideas" then you can't entirely blame people for wanting to take the easy route

someone in a group chat posted a Beth Rigby tweet about a planning application for a new stadium in the west of england, and there was about a minute of confusion as to why she'd felt fit to post about this before I realised it was actually Bath Rugby

Kind of feels like a big deal that a Reform/Brexit Party former MEP has been convicted of taking bribes to promote Russian interests in Ukraine, and it feels like a bigger deal that this isn’t being treated as the major scandal that it clearly is.

the post office is a public service. it doesn’t need to make money. public transit doesn’t need to make money. the library doesn’t need to make money. some things exist for the public good and we desperately need lawmakers to stop thinking about them in terms of capitalism. these are not businesses.

If you see this quote post a bridge

I don’t know about you, but I’m still sort of processing that the US president stood up in the UN and declared that London is about to be under Sharia law, and the response has been “actually, that won’t happen” rather than “Jesus, that is insane.”

🔴Farage’s Trillion Pound Black Hole: The Real Cost of Reform UK’s Mass Deportation Plan Exclusive: Reform’s plan, which it claims would net huge savings over the coming decades, would actually cost about £70-90bn over the next ten years alone, analysis of official statistics and forecasts suggests

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

To ‘ultra-crepidate’ (19th century) is to lecture others on subjects you know very little about.

spokesperson for Sadiq Khan: “We are not going to dignify his appalling and bigoted comments with a response. “London is the greatest city in the world, safer than major US cities, and we’re delighted to welcome the record number of US citizens moving here.”

Jack the Ripper very bad guy, smart guy, nobody caught him Nick Cotton - treated his Mom very badly, Golf Sale sign guy - YUGE lie, no sale , Piccadilly Circus, more YUGE lies, no circus.

This is spot on. My Nan worked for the BBC, kept the studios open during WW2, got a BEM for her efforts. She would hate how the news is now, but that doesn't mean that it needs to go. It could still be what it should be, but it needs cleansing of many of the news team as well as Gibb and Davie.

Wild finish in the U21s. Late winner, followed by Leeds player getting yellow for tripping a player off the ball, who then argued and argued till he was given another one…

Esse playing for the U21s tonight. Rehabilitation or demotion? #CPFC

Ed Davey, "I'm afraid Nigel Farage should be apologising for helping cause this problem in the first place" "Before Brexit we didn't have a small boats problem because we had 27 return agreements with EU countries and we could return people" -Maybe we should call them Farage's Brexit Boats

Congratulations to Chris Mason for being nominated for 'Political Journalist Of The Year' in the London Press Club Awards. He was nominated for his "fearless commitment to unbiased, objective reporting" by a Mr N Farage of Clacton.

If Kelly Cates can’t keep her Liverpool bias at least slightly hidden she shouldn’t be presenting any program when they are playing. #MOTD

Remember DOGE, Reform’s Department of Government Efficiency Launched with fanfare, gone within months. Meanwhile, their mayor Andrea Jenkyns wants £147k to reply to emails. Efficiency, Reform-style.

Can we just apologise for this Tifo, on behalf of all us Palace fans. How dare we compare such an organisation as being so corrupt and underhanded. They didn't deserve this whatsoever. It was a poor statement to make. I hope the Mafia will accept our apologies. You are less corrupt than UEFA.

I don’t feel very positive, but I guess Thumper’s Mum’s philosophy must have rubbed off a little bit.

One of the items on the list of things I've got wrong in my life was "mocking local newspapers for being full of people pointing at potholes" because now there aren't any local newspapers and the potholes have turned people into nazis

One of these rich dudes invested in a food company with all proceeds going to kids in need. The other started Sundance Institute, boosting the lives of countless artists. Hey modern rich dudes, don't be a typical greedy AI crypto-prick, be like these two.

Proper Palace goal, cross by Olise, finish by Chalobah! #BAYCHE

I posted this 7 months ago and it's only grown more relevant every day since. Which is, you know, annoying.

It's incredible how close the Red Arrows fly together, must take nerves of steel

I love London so much. So much. Did you know that London has the lowest level of ethnic violence of any city of comparable size in the world? Multiculturalism has in fact worked here. They just don’t want it to be true because we happen to have a Muslim mayor.

Arsenal need to step it up a bit. Being outfought at the moment #athars #UCL

#cpfc Wasn’t there supposed to be a documentary coming up on Netflix or somewhere about last season at Palace? Read that it was coming out on 10th September but can’t find it anywhere. Was it a wishful dream of mine???

🔴 NEW - Why you should leave X Here’s the sad truth: Twitter no longer exists. X is something else entirely. It’s a megaphone for extremism, controlled by a deranged oligarch. 📝 latest Substack 👇🏻

So far, 2025 has felt like living inside a Hieronymus Bosch painting

Every time I check the Palace Women’s score another goal each has gone in. Now 4-4!! (Probably 5-5 by the time anyone reads this) #CPFC

Foreign billionaires don’t get to incite violence against Britain. We cannot stay silent. 1/5 www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home...

Sky News says police are "overwhelmed by the numbers". Met coped perfectly well with 2x as many at the pro-Gaza rally, 5x as many at the anti-Brexit march, and 15x as many at London Pride. They're not overwhelmed by the numbers. They're overwhelmed by the ratio of violent thugs in those numbers.

Can anyone explain why the Government is still doing most of its communications through a website whose owner is now openly rallying the far right to trigger a violent insurrection on our streets?

ICYMI: Farage has confirmed he would cut disability benefits, & he has made Lee Anderson, who famously said he could make meals for 30p, the new Welfare Spokesperson. https://www.disabilitynewsservice.com/farage-finally-confirms-a-reform-uk-government-would-slash-spending-on-disability-benefits/

Yes, yes they are.

Paid a visit to the London arms fair today... Found a component for cluster munitions, banned under international law, on full display. Confirmed by staff, and removed swiftly by event organisers. But what else remains? These vile weapons should never be peddled in the UK.

"Almost no one will have knowingly encountered someone who illegally entered the country, let alone seen them actually arrive on the beach at Dover. They just think there’s a crisis because other people keep telling them there is."

UK politics discourse is 90% "who will end up in which post/ who hates who/ how will this play with voters/ how is the narrative shifting", and maximum 10% actual substance on policy. As in, does this make sense, not will it be popular. This is a problem.
