We just watched a legend written in real time. The fearlessness of Cape Verde is the kind of thing you use to teach your kids about belief in themselves. Goosebumps.

Cape Verde defeats Argentina via a 2-3 loss in extra time

I've become a massive Cape Verde football fan! Extraordinary spirit, strength, teamwork, heart! Sidny Cabral should be given some major national award or other - "Sir Sidny"?

Left: Lisa Nandy complains about a lack of regulation on social media Right: Lisa Nandy quitting Twitter because of a lack of regulation on social media Lisa Nandy has been paid an extra £135,010 ministerial salary for the past two years to not do her job of regulating social media and run away

Lisa Nandy announces plan to quit X over fear it pushes ‘abuse and misinformation’

It's interesting how everything people used to proudly call "public" when I was growing up (public parks, public libraries, public schools, public transportation, public television, etc) is suddenly "socialist" now that rich people are spinning it.

"Fourteen Years in Prison for Quoting Hamas? New Law Could Criminalise Journalists" Starmer is rushing legislation through parliament that experts say threatens free speech, reports Paul Holden for Zeteo UK. Read/share/subscribe:

FFS! "The National Crime Agency [NCA] has said online networks, “many as yet unidentified by law enforcement”, were allowing offenders to arrange to rape and abuse victims or arrange for sexual assaults to be filmed" What are the depths humans (of the male variety) will descend to? No limits!

Which hero would YOU be? www.youtube.com/watch?v=oR1r... Rutger Bregman is the voice of the future, imo. And present

Kick this Grifting Fascist Twunt out of British Politics For Good

Trump is a chump Who knew?! His suing of the BBC requires him to provide proof of financial losses - he won't provide evidence

I wonder if anyone in @ukparliament.parliament.uk, especially Keir Starmer and John Healey are aware that some countries do the right thing, whilst "we" - they - don't? France is a far more ethical country on many levels ...

Fek! Infertility as a result of semen fertility reduction through the generations is in rapidly increasing. If our grandchildren are created, will they survive to adulthood?

I quite liked Tony Blair back when he won for Labour after many miserable years of Tory hegemony. But he is absolutely, completely *WRONG* now! (ignoring all Iraq related actions) Maybe my support of him back in 1997 was completely ridiculous! He is such a sad man now

Oh my! How very sad: a lovely man

Absolutely loving the banter after the game on BBC!!! Ugo (Oogie, surely?) is - and the whole commentary team are - doing a great job! (This comment brings back memories of a Wasps fan great - Ayoola Erinle! Always known as Oogie: we loved him) #FraEng

Avoid synthetic fertilizer use to encourage natural nutrient cycling in your soil microbiome.

How to change this debate. " Being outside the EU costs every UK household an average of £8,300 every year. But being inside again would only cost each UK household £38 every year. Do you still think we should stay out? "

The France-England rugby game has been superb to watch! OK, I only started watching from 54 mins - life got in the way. But yet again *my* player of the match is Amy Cokayne! What a great player! I have always favoured backs in rugby, but Cokayne changes games imo; she allows backs to play #FraEng

Over half way through the Jury points from the various countries, and my tip for winner by a long way was ... Lithuania! The only song with no votes, currently #esc

My favourites, in a vague sort of order ... and, yes, I know Latvia didn't make it to the Final; such a shame, imo #esc

OK, Republican voting Americans, UK conspiracy theorists, and others - why are the world's scientists wrong about climate warming, and you are right? Clue: you aren't right www.bbc.co.uk/weather/arti...

Here are the facts: People have always had and will always have abortions in all 50 states. Abortion pills are safe, effective, and have been used by millions of people. No court or politician can change either of those realities.

Harborne gave the Brexit Party £6 million in 2019 and was mentioned in the Panama Papers but luckily the UK has the memory of a goldfish... so nobody talks about that

"I once said I was given £5 million for my security, then a few days later said it was a reward for Brexit"

I don't particularly like SkyNews because it followed Rupert "Davros" Murdoch's agenda of destroying the BBC! Shame on them. But Adam Boulton is right! GBNews is far worse and Ofcom, the regulator, has undoubtedly failed egregiously! www.theguardian.com/media/2026/m...

Why exactly would a Thailand-based economic migrant secretly give Nigel Farage £5 million as a 'reward' for delivering Brexit? I won't get to ask either of them this question but every single journalist & broadcaster granted access could...

Well, I'm blowed! My top 2 choices from tonight's semi-final were Cyprus ✔️ and Latvia ❌ Genuinely surprised Latvia didn't get through. #eurovision #esc

There are basically 5 ways to accumulate a billion dollars: 1) Profiting from a monopoly 2) Insider-trading 3) Political payoffs 4) Fraud 5) Inheritance Don’t believe the self-made myth.

Farage is *SO* pathetic: a liar and a cheat, but is still able to fool many millions, despite his abuse of Britain

Blimey! Having seen the title of the article I thought I'd have read at least 95% ... I've read 1 out of 100 on the list. How many have you read?

"Dear Diary, I asked my lawyers if I could sue Ben Habib for saying I was paid £1m to throw an election. They said of course - as long as he's lying. Bollocks - back to the drawing board...."

Well, that was a shock! LeAnne Rimes joining 'Unexpected Star of the Show', Sarah, on Michael McIntyre'e Big Show was very emotional! I think Sarah's daughter 'losing it' was the final straw - I cracked and blubbed! That shouldn't happen to a staid old man! Beautiful! Fantastic telly

My off air politics were too much for BBC - they never played a part in how I presented the Infinite Monkey Cage but I was told they damaged the BBC’s “journalistic integrity” - I was not a BBC journalist - now look at Robbie Gibb’s utterly acceptable career flipping between BBC journalism & Tories

Really enjoying the celebration of Sir David Attenborough's 100th birthday on BBC1. The term 'national treasure' is overused but Sir David certainly is. Happy Birthday to a great man.

Airline emissions in Europe top pre-Covid levels despite pledge to decarbonise #Climate

Drought incoming.

Exactly. MSM has done a terrible job on this

Humans are not Planet Earth’s overlords. ✅

This baby marine iguana vs racing snakes scene produced by far the funniest comment I've ever seen on Twitter, undoubtedly by a Brit ... I wish I remembered it properly. Something like "OMG, don't die! You got this, run you little fucker, run!" #DavidAttenborough

I shouldn't swear but, fuck me, David Attenborough at 100 looks as good as me at 66!!! I'm both amazed, impressed, delighted that he got to that age, and looks so damned good! T'aint fair, but if anyone deserves it, it is him! A great man! #DavidAttenborough

app.thenewworld.co.uk/story/155419... The attack dogs are certainly in evidence; but there are some sweeping statements too… Apparently the majority of Green members are Corbynites 🤷‍♀️ I’ve not found this to be true: Greens are pro EU, Corbyn wasn’t - that is a deal breaker for most ppl.

I must admit that I'd like to see evidence of this, but it SEEMS reasonable! What's the source, @joes-spot.bsky.social ?

www.theguardian.com/us-news/live... Harhar! I don't like the man, but I'm amused by this headline. I wouldn't wish ill on anyone

Hegseth is more dangerous than his idiotic, pathetic, narcissistic boss, who is already known to be a lunatic! Extraordinary www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

I have no truck with those that profess to believe in gods. Likewise, I cannot take seriously those that believe in aliens. There is no difference, Daniel Lavelle's article puts it well - www.theguardian.com/science/2026...

The world just had its second-warmest March on record #Climate
