I don't do party politics on here and you can have your own opinion of Starmer - good or bad - but what is undeniably the case is that Westminster journalists became massively invested in a hyped-up narrative of their own devising and debased political commentary in so doing.

Great holiday or travel reading. Highly recommend this series.

Irony of this is, both me and the mrs are able to work / balance childcare as things stand. If it happened one of us would have to leave are jobs as would no longer be possible with full time office hours or financially viable.

Ive been a supply teacher for a few months now It has really changed my perspective. Cover is a thankless task, underpaid and at the mercy of rapacious agencies. There should be a centralised system that cuts out these parasites and ensures schools are not overcharged and teachers paid properly.

London 8-26 Bradford. Broncos down to 12 players in the last twenty minutes due to injuries and conceded 3 tries. A good effort but ran out of steam with a man down.

Craven cottage today

Birthday spent watching Everton (slightly fortunately) beating Fulham 👍

Kept this from early in the week Serrano ham munching Tories, Rodney Marsh, Peter Mellor, Diddy David Hamilton, Hugh Grant, Tony Gale your boys took one hell of a beating @fulhamfc.com #UTFT

Slightly drunk in a Putney pub celebrating my birthday after Everton win. Could be worse!

Saying James Milner will be record appearance holder when he plays his next match Every school boy knows the record holder is Peter Shilton* *Football didn’t exist before Premier League

Left: Zia Yusuf, "Mandelson deserves to be in jail. The buck stops with the executive, Keir Starmer is a disgrace to his office and should resign" Right: Nathan Gill is in jail for accepting Russian bribes. Using Zia Yusuf's logic, isn't Nigel Farage also a disgrace, and should also resign?

Absolutely dire programme today, @channel4news.bsky.social. Switched off. Mandelson this, Starmer leadership that, and a bit of free PR for Farage for good measure. I thought #C4News were a bit different.

I grew up with the Washington Post, wrote editorials for the Washington Post and published a column there for more than 15 years. To watch its owners destroy it, seemingly deliberately, in just a year and a half is devastating.

Keir Starmer is to announce a cash injection of £800m to rejuvenate the most deprived communities, which he admits have been "undermined by political neglect" news.sky.com/story/sir-ke...

Why? He was already kicked out before? Isn’t reform taking money from hostile Russia be a much bigger scandal?

I doubt they would call for him to not get involved if he was speaking up for the illegal settlers? www.bbc.co.uk/sport/footba...

European investigations into Twitter 1. investigation into suspected abuse of algorithms & data extraction by X or its executives 2. Britain's privacy watchdog kicked off an investigation into Musk's AI Grok over its potential harmful sexualized images & video content www.reuters.com/world/europe...

By searching for "Farage" in the Epstein Files database (justice.gov/epstein), 38 results come up. In one, Steve Bannon suggests to Epstein that his advisory roles to European political parties means he can influence European Parliament…. 1/3

Notifications have been peppered 100s of times on Facebook after calling reform out. Absolutely correct this and they attempt to drown out anyone with alternative views. So easy to pick out aswell the profiles.

Not a bad drop.

Clearly a miscarriage of justice. The driver should be reinstated or paid compensation. Cowardly from Metroline. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Tomorrow we are in the High Court suing Reform for breaching data processing rules. We think it's really quite important. 👇

America, you have done some silly things recently, but failing to elect this man is right up there.

What I find amusing about the Express' cinematic universe is that the UK is simultaneously free and thriving thanks to Brexit and poor and oppressed thanks to the current government. This dichotomy is also reflected in Mail/Telegraph etc but its at its most acute in the Express.

"study indicated that the population of the Gaza Strip decreased by 254,000 due to Israeli bombing & extermination that lasted more than two years, representing 10.6% of the population.The study also noted that a large portion of these victims were children and women"(Paltimes News) #Gaza #Genocide

In the Epstein files: 💩Nigel Farage 💩Boris Johnson Not in the Epstein files: 👍Keir Starmer 👍Zack Polanski Vote accordingly.

Cars kill hundreds of people every single year in Ireland. Cause untold carnage. Have destroyed the ability of kids to get anywhere safely. Congest our cities etc. But cyclists are the nightmare. Right got it.

I didn’t say he did / but Epsteins money was used to fund the far right in Europe which Farage benefited from Via his association with Bannon

Nigel Farage was mentioned 43 times in the Epstein files. But you don’t see any of the ‘political’ journalists mention this do you? Instead it’s the usual diatribes against Starmer. These people are an embarrassment

Israel has opened the border to Gaza but is not allowing aid in to Gaza. This is a blatant attempt to further undermine the well being and health of survivors of the Israeli holocaust on the people of Gaza. Isn’t it time that Netanyahu was rendered to the care of the court in The Hague.

A signing you say.

Kids absolutely loved Beto's last minute equaliser today. Made the fact my youngest couldn't see much and was a bit bored worth it.

Just as Trump wants to hurt & kill people for sheer greed & power, so does Farage. Look at them both, weak men hiding behind a veneer of lies. They’re school boy bullies who fire the shots, run & let everyone else take the bullets, hiding, watching & laughing at their own carnage. Both scumbags.

Brighton tickets came through today. My youngest son's first Everton game. Hopefully we'll turn up!

Uproar in Italy over ICE security role at Winter Olympics. “This is a militia that kills. It’s clear that they are not welcome in Milan, there’s no doubt about it". “We can take care of their security ourselves. We don’t need ICE.”

I did not know that Nigel Farage had shares in racist GBNews, but on reflection, I am not surprised.
