Watching England at major tournaments

Why are we standing by and watching this happen? “Israel continues to commit genocide by deliberately targeting Palestinian children in Gaza, an ⁠independent UN inquiry has found…. about 30% of the people killed by Israeli forces have been children.” www.theguardian.com/world/2026/j...

Watching Glasto on the Beeb and it has confirmed my belief that All Night Long is an All Time Banger.

Solidarity to everyone who keeps saying to their spouses “I think it will calm down a bit after this.”

This does feel like it covers it, tbh.

Keir Starmer in a month's time

Celebrating Father's Day by commenting "Who?" under articles about huge celebrities

They’re calling it the quote on British politics that ended the need for all other quotes

When you're banging out Never Forget on stage at 10pm, but need to be briefed on the Prussian flank's advance on Waterloo first thing in the morning

So yet again the the anti-Reform majority rallies behind the strongest opposition: that was the Greens, Plaid and now Labour. Tactical voting you beauty

"Love sometimes feels blasphemous when you worship power". What a line.

this is honestly an excellent celebratory and motivational speech from Mamdani at the Knicks parade. i'm ready to run through a wall, and i'm not even a Knicks fan

Legend.

Aside from Vekic roaring into this match already red-hot, playing at Queens means Raducanu is hamstrung by the poshest crowd in UK sport. The chants are terrifyingly half-hearted. She needs some tanked-up Scots in here, still pished from last night.

He is such a brilliant communicator

Released 40 years ago today. Still the greatest day off.

Scissor Sister Act

Say what you like about the evils of social media for teens, but TikTok is currently providing a vital national service reassuring 16 yos everywhere that yesterday's final match GCSE exam was "some ludicrous bullshit" (maths teacher's own words).

Genuinely horrendous reading

It seems overnight the White House has been replaced by a Monster Energy Drink branded UFC cage

Get off X, then. #Feeble

"If it BENDS, it's funny..."

Big thanks to the DUP, Reform, Tories etc for stirring this up all day. Thugs are now attacking people's homes in Belfast, wrecking hostels, checking cars at roadblocks for 'immigrants', burning vehicles and generally scaring the shit out of people. Hope you're all proud of yourselves. #Belfast

Why is The World At One reading out Rupert Lowe's posts on the Northern Ireland attack, at the start of the bulletin? He leads a party that is polling at about 3%. This is not about "censorship": it's about the choices media outlets make concerning which voices to amplify.

Much as I like Pride & Prejudice I find it impossible to deny that this is the greatest review of it of all time

I managed two minutes of Kemi B's gabbled lying bollocks on radio 4 just now, accompanied by Justin Webb's own journalistic brand of chocolate tea pottery. Back to Greg James.

Superb public service being offered here

Cool this will def stop all the boomers on my Facebook sharing memes about how a woman in a hijab refused to sell an Iraq veteran ham in Tesco Express and when you say "that Tesco Express doesn't exist" they reply "yuo are just brain washd honestley i can,t bleieve yiu are like tjis open yuor eye"

Landed gentry will always want to steal prize-winning pigs

"This is sport. It's not always pretty." says Jim Courier of winning at Roland Garros. To be fair, he should know. #frenchopen

This is glorious stuff. Forza Cobolli! #FrenchOpen

No offence to anyone in SW19 but I do think perhaps the French Open has the hottest crowd of any grand slam. Is everyone in Paris a tennis-loving model? PS. Bloody great final this, isn't it? Forza Cobolli!

When you tune into #thearchers for the first time in ages, only to find that - as though you'd never been away - Adam and Brine are in the middle of a massive bust-up.

GNU Anthony Head. And a wail to the heavens. 💔

Lads next time the woke progressive left successfully captures all the elite institutions we have got to be better at it cos this time it clearly didn't work at all.

I have the immortal Praying for Time blasting out as I type this. If there is a more prescient, more devastating lyric for 2026 than: "And it's hard to love, there's so much to hate. Hanging on to hope, when there is no hope to speak of." Then I don't know what it is.

this is my kind of company motto right here

God-tier NYT correction: Correction (left), original (right) www.nytimes.com/2026/06/01/n...

Bet Djoko is watching every shot of this. #frenchopen

If you're still trying to figure it out after a decade that might be a clue....

Ok this is a truly great tweet

"we're going in a new direction"

Nothing to see here, just the son of the President marrying the daughter of the accountant of a notorious child sex trafficker who was best friends with the groom's father. Oh, wait, you didn't know Junior's current new wife is the daughter of Jeffrey Epstein's accountant?

For the unpatriotic, those are: Paddington, Winnie the Pooh, Rupert and Sooty. WE SHALL REMEMBER THEM.

There are days when I miss being an editor. I loved writing headlines. Whoever did this, I hope they took the rest of the day off.

I don't think it's too much to ask for a villa podcast series just on all the speeches yesterday #avfc #utv

Watching the Beeb broadcasting thousands of villa fans gleefully singing Sweet Caroline, with its special, moving chorus of "Fuck the blues" has brought me so much joy. #avfc #utv

Absolutely loving watching a thoroughly plastered Villa team make their speeches to a packed Brum city centre. #avfc #utv

You've seen the Villa, now fuck off home #avfc #utv
