FIFA getting the face eating leopards treatment.

My daughter has just found out she’s got a place to study Art History at the Sorbonne from September. We’re rather proud (and relieved - you wouldn’t believe how much cheaper it is to study in France, even as a foreign student).

“I said it’s good of Nigel Farage to speak out about the murder of Henry Nowak. What did I say Roy?” “You said he’s a cynical piece of shit who’s exploiting a tragedy to spread hatred and division”

Here’s hoping Ugarte has a fantastic WC…

Paging @lloydshepherd.com - You definitely need to come to Trieste. They’ve got your place already sorted.

Not just "something went badly wrong" but "for the regiment"? Naw.

NOPE.

Just heard that Steve Barrow has passed on. I’m sure the tributes will be rolling out, but I just wanted to say a legendary figure, and a lovely man.

Arrive at our holiday let in Trieste with ‘The Umbrella Man And Other Stories’ by @4hundredblows.bsky.social in my luggage. Guess what I find on the bookshelf? Guess I needn’t worry about racing through Martin’s book then…

‘My phone was hacked by the Kremlin who exposed the £5m bung no-one is supposed to know about’ is certainly an interesting new angle.. I wonder if the journalist involved has broken any other major scandals? 🤔 Oh!

“It is understood the National Cyber Security Centre is not aware of a report from Farage related to the alleged hack.” That’ll be because it’s all utter bollox. “Just how stupid would you like us to be, Mr Farage?” “Oh *that* stupid. Let’s see what we can do…” www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Good rolling: stones, like a stone, pin, rawhide theme, browning, rat, on the river Bad rolling: news, discussion, jk

Boycott FIFA in the United States. Watch it in Canada or Mexico if you want, but stay away from the US.

If Everton did equalise, you could imagine Spurs completely shitting the bed given that West Ham are now winning. Come on Everton, you useless bastards.

Just been filling in a gov.uk survey on arts & culture. They asked me to be as honest as possible…

Villainising and attacking minority groups, has never, and must never be acceped. For those of us who remember how all gay men were branded as were a danger to society during the 1980's AIDS crisis, you must know this.

Introduce yourself with a few bands/musicians you’ve seen play live. The Clash Tom Tom Club Test Department Blue Airplanes A Tribe Called Quest Flowered Up Dan Penn & Spooner Oldham The Notorious B.I.G. Jake Thackray Super Furry Animals (last weekend)

Just watched the last ever episode of The Boys. Very good. Very fucking good.

Rachel Reeves gets heckled by some lout and Reform take the opportunity to confirm they’re right behind threatening, intimidatory behaviour. While of course whimpering about Farage’s need for £5m worth of “security”.

I don’t often do this, but my little food tour company Hidden Food Tours is just two followers off 1K on Instagram. If you could just pop over there and give us a follow I’d be pathetically grateful; www.instagram.com/hidden_food_...

Meet the new guy, same as the old guy.

I live just down the road, and wouldn’t give the aristo inbreds that live there the steam off my piss #pichforksandtumbrils

Imagine if City have been lying to Pep about the mass financial doping all these years? Just like his doctor (who he still works, with 30 years later) lied to him about his actual doping. It’s amazing how his career has depended on being lied to about so much by so many people…

"Shall we tell motorists that they might have to drive slightly slower to conserve fuel, fellow Minister?" "Nah, let's betray democracy instead." www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

The day before he was announced as Reform's candidate in the Makerfield by election, Robert Kenyon was busy scrubbing clean his Facebook page. Wonder why? Find out why here: searchlightmagazine.com/2026/05/refo...

So, ‘work’ was Pep’s drug was it? Well, one of them anyway...

The glowing pre-obits written about Guardiola would stand better to reason (greatest of his era? Probably), and to scrutiny were it not for the small matter of how that Man City was built. Whichever "legacy" he leaves behind will always come with an asterisk. It's a pity, but it's part of the story.

Democracy in Kent is under attack from a Reform administration that is clearly terrified of scrutiny. They are moving to quiet the opposition while prioritising songs and prayers over policy discussion. It is a bizarre and anti-democratic shift for our county. 🧵 1/6

BBC news continues to stir up raced hatred with their obsession with small boats (to the exclusion of our many more pressing issues ) . They weren't the ones who broke Farage 5 million bribe but they'll pester bs shop owners www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

A guy we know pitched a story to a mag about former skateboarders going back to their old haunt in middle age. My BIL(52)went with him as part of the story. BIL is now back home with a broken ankle and the writer is home with a broken vertebrae. The only possible way the story could have gone.

The state of things. A thread 🧵

If this isn't "designed to stir up hatred" against Jews, what is? Why are the Met not arresting them?

One might ask: where's the fucking Prime Minister? He was more than happy to stick his oar in when it wasn't needed, but now it might actually yield something he's not having panicked press conferences and no police forces are suggesting extra protections for anyone. Weird.
