This PSV team battered Liverpool 4-1 at Anfield 😀😀😀

I’ve never seen an English ref stand up for his original decision. Clear and obvious error my arse!

Joelinton had a poor start to the season, but the last couple of games and tonight in particular, he was immense and back at his best. Let’s hope this form continues. #NUFC

Tom Baker is 92 today

We in UK do not have an independent nuclear deterrent. Our nuclear weapons will be used or not used at the direction of the USA. Those weapons are the forward arm of U.S. defence. They do not defend us - in fact they make us the bullseye. And we pay for them.

It's also all a bit...'Franz Ferdinand's assassination an embarrassment for the 'Visit Sarajevo' tourism campaign', it is certainly *true* but it is missing the point.

A lot of these political editors see Starmer/Trump and Mamdani/Trump as unexpected bromances, rather than what the rest of us see, which is someone trying to gamely manage a lunatic.

TF?!

Reminder of the spectacularly poor judgement of these people

It will not surprise you to learn that Toby Youngs 'Free Speech Union' has obtained a High Court injunction banning the publication of a list of its donors open.substack.com/pub/democrac...

First episode broadcast OTD in 1996. For all its faults, the BBC does some great things...

Robert Jenrick illegally rushed through planning permission to try help a billionaire avoid £45m in property tax. But he is sick of seeing Asylum Seekers break the law. Because that’s only for him and his rich buddies.

The not-terminally-online, regular people, are starting to lose their shit.

For non-German speakers: “Dear media, I can’t stand the headline "No agreement between the US and Denmark” any longer. If an armed man storms a bank, you don't run the headline: "Robber and cashier can't reach an agreement on money transfer." Stop framing imperial aggression as normal diplomacy.”

shoulda got a shield

The fact that if you mention ‘the Entertainers’ every football fan knows who you mean 30 years later is a testimony to King Kev’s legacy. Long live the King!

Fantastic effort!

Well done Macclesfield Town beating Crystal Palace today. It’s the biggest giantkilling cup upset in history. It must mean the annual footage of Hereford beating #NUFC back in the 80s is consigned to the history books surely.

This is a generous review of a very silly play. The film is about McCarthyism and social coercion, written by someone whose allies fled when the authorities turned on him. To stage that story and play down its political elements is horribly misjudged. www.thetimes.com/culture/thea...

This should be available on the NHS

Just think of the thousands of black & brown tourists wanting to support their team meeting an ICE patrol ... meme via Dublin supporting Palestine

Three years ago today I was about to undergo a quadruple heart bypass after a heart attack. Get your cholesterol checked. Don’t waste your life on a job killing you with stress. I can assure you the company you work for don’t give a toss about you or your family. Work to live, nowt more ❤️

Long Live The King

🙌

This is why we endure the disappointments, for games like this HTL!

One of the most important figures in Newcastle United’s history and there aren’t words to sum up what he did for the club and the city as a player and manager. KK will have the full and unwavering support of each and every Newcastle fan throughout this 🖤🤍🖤🤍 #NUFC

Love to KK and his family 🏁

I think ‘there’s only one…’ song tonight isn’t there? #nufc 👑

Britain has talked itself into a flat tailspin. Had weeks of ppl telling me that the country's on the verge of catastrophe. In reality real wages are rising and the economy growing. God alone knows what ppl would say if we went back to the early 80s, 17% interest rates and four million unemployed.

Still a long way to go… #nufc

I predict a tough game today. I think it’ll be fretful and nervous. The team will need the crowd today. It’s not a turn up and win kind of game. Stick together with the team HWTL

BREAKING: “What is becoming increasingly apparent is the falsehoods that were peddled by Nigel Farage and others at the time of the Brexit referendum…all you had to do was leave the EU & you would have £350m a week for your NHS, well it hasn’t materialised” PM Keir Starmer

And, so this is Christmas…..

Right wing fascists always seem to be able to enrich themselves during a time of crisis. #DisasterCapitalists

Superb article and images in this feature Winter: A Season of Visual Contrasts Rosalind Jana explores the "line between warmth and cold, between light and dark, between ease and perseverance" through the work of Magnum photographers www.magnumphotos.com/arts-culture...

There is, to my mind, no justification for the continued use by the UK Government of X as a platform for official comms. There hasn't been for some time, in fact, but if the latest developments around AI-generated image abuse and CSAM don't change the policy I really don't know what will.

I can’t believe Guardiola couldn’t wait another 3 minutes before taking O’Reilly off. Cost me 4 points that. Mind, I can’t believe I left VDV on the bench v Brentford. Cost me 6 points that. Story of my season so far

And Thatcher’s friends became even richer. Scandalous and yet there’s no analysis by the mainstream media

Protests are spreading across Iran for a fourth day, with demonstrators calling for the end of the Islamic regime and demanding the return of exiled Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi. A member of the Basij force was killed in Kouhdasht, Lorestan, and confrontations are flaring in Fars, Hamedan, and Tehran.

WHOOSH, what was that?

🥁✨🎉 **My Top Image of the Year · #1 of 10** The jaw-dropping early C16th angel roof at St. Wendreda's in March, Cambridgeshire. Sir John Betjeman said it was “worth cycling forty miles into a headwind to see.” 🤔 He was right.

No. I heard via a friend that he had Covid during that spell when he was ill which has impacted his performances. It’s why he had that spell coming off at half time too. #nufc

Was the Burnley player who nodded the ball on to the Burnley goalscorer offside? It wasn’t mentioned in commentary but he looked offside in real time
