This is the most extraordinary sound. Like a coke-gouged 4am Bryan Ferry or a playboy's ghost. Terrifying.

Someone has to say it. The amount of racism directed at World Cup players - including in the England squad - online is out of control.

It's so funny that there are so many truly amazing and wonderful and beautiful things about the United States, and what he's decided to focus on is the fact that you can eat fast food in your car. Beyond parody.

Starmer's government is still on X, the platform that promotes hate and racism.

This is a project I’ve thought about starting for ages! It’s time to open the TV Burp Time Capsule and take a look back at how Harry Hill’s late-night comedy show, which quietly launched on ITV back in 2001, ended up changing TV forever! thatcomedyfan.wordpress.com/2026/07/01/t...

The Telegraph isn't funny any more. It's seriously grim.

A second time for everything

Get John Terry off my screen

Sorry but the BBC showing a trailer for Dear England featuring Gareth at half time while we’re losing in our first knockout match is very funny

Labour can threaten a £10k charge on migrants and still it’s never enough for the hard right. Perhaps there’s a lesson here? 🤔

Who did it best? USA 1994 versus World Cup 2026 – then and now

On the last day of Pride Month, happy Trans Pride, now and forever and ever and ever, Amen.

"I don’t mean to be rude, but all Moroccans here who aren’t good enough to play for the Netherlands go on to ⁠play for Morocco." - Rafael van der Vaart, March 2026 (former midfielder for the Netherlands national team, now pundit) can I just say: lol www.reuters.com/sports/socce...

A decision as narrow 5-4 on this issue is absurd. Be thankful for small mercies and all that but the Supreme Court is so screwed

Since winning the trophy in 2014 Germany have not won a single World Cup knockout game

She wanted to be in this war and argued that the only reason Keir Starmer didn't want to is that he was in hoc to British Muslims. Not a serious person.

Tunisia are a disaster of a team.

Crime should pay, what's the big deal?, says criminal.

Football for heaven’s sake. Got no connections to Ecuador and feel like weeping watching these scenes. Beautiful! 🇪🇨

What happened between 2015 and 2020 taught me that, should that awful day come and we, settled EU migrants, become the target of Reform, the Great British Public will do nothing to protect us. Friends will be appaled but powerless. A few marches, some nice, principled words, that'll be all.

sorry what?

Rutte’s job is to steer NATO’s policymaking, build consensus between members and act as its ambassador. But unfortunately he seems to think it is to be Trump’s publicist in Europe, cheerleading the boss’s madcap schemes if another member criticizes them. It’s wrong and does not make NATO stronger

Scotland should try dicking about on the ball in their own box a bit more

Around 410 CE, the Romans left Britain, opening the way for waves of settlement by Angles, Saxons, and Jutes and the displacement of its Celtic peoples. Subsequently,

england v ghana

ok, that's a new one

Terrible language. “Immigration has worsened” like it’s a disease. So fed up with all this malignant framing. www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/poli...

Announce a deal with grandiose ambition, s**t the bed, then claim bed s**t was the goal all along? Classic Trump deal

Release the piss tape!

You already got one, and you didn't like it.

Left-wing people on Bluesky: Burnham will just be Starmer with a different accent Right-wing press: The Bolsheviks are coming! Bury your jewellery!

I've had 2 journalists today asking if Miliband as Chancellor would be a "Liz Truss moment" and find it difficult not to just respond "are you on crack?".

Ugh, how vulgar of Uruguay.

wait another year or two and they’ll have enough for a football team

Every single word in this headline is a surprise

Mona Khalil dedicated decades of her life to protecting the sea turtles and coastline of Mansouri, southern Lebanon. This month, Israeli strikes killed her. Her loss is not only a loss for her family and community, but for the environmental movement in Lebanon, the region and beyond. 💔

The attacks in Edinburgh, in which an armed bare-chested white man terrorised Muslims, leaving five people injured, don't feature on a single newspaper front page this morning. Two tier journalism

Two years of building bridges well spent

An incredible photo of Kinderdijk on Friday night (by Rick Bekker for the AD; rickbekkerphotography.com)

Even after everything, I'm still taken aback by the sheer hatefulness of the 'trans-lovers' bit.

HYDRATION BREAK

We knew GBNews is obsessed with immigration. We didn’t know that the obsession extends to the Jews who fled the Nazis in the 1930s - and that we should be wary even of their grandchildren app.prospectmagazine.co.uk/story/73892/...

Al Qaida took his father. ISIS took his brother. The US government held him at customs for 7 hours. And it’s the first World Cup for his team in 40 years. But in their World Cup debut game this week, Aymen Hussein scored what was only the second World Cup goal in his country’s history. /
