>unarmed pleasure vessel inexplicably capable of running a blockade What did he know?

strange these op-eds about women being too angry have all come out the last few days when during the same time there's also been a massive investigation published on an online rape academy with millions of viewers a month and none of them have bothered to even cover it, even as news

And a car could drive the route faster. That’s not the point of a marathon though.

Pep Guardiola arrived in England and said himself he didn’t know how to deal with the second balls in the Premier League. Winning the second balls is one of Manchester City’s big weapons for unsettling Arsenal today. And they say Pep changed English football!

One of the oddest things about this Arsenal team is that they take more risks passing the ball under pressure in their own thirty yards than they do in the opposition's half.

Man City better spend another £60m on a new goalkeeper

Great time to remind everyone if you think Donnarumma is pap.

Hahahahahaha

New social democrat to lead Labour just dropped.

[Arsenal players] “why am I hearing boss music?”

We used to live on same street as Finchley Reform Synagogue. They host iftar, open their doors to the local mosque and do a lot for the area generally. The arson attack wouldn’t have been ok if they didn’t do all that but just goes to show how this really isn’t about anything but division and hate.

The biggest piece of evidence for not trusting Amorim with a big job again, beyond his terrible terrible “system”.

Few things make you feel as good as fixing your little kid’s toy, especially when it’s just a change of batteries. You become a sort of quiet super hero for a moment. It’s great. This must be what it feels like to be a doctor, IMO.

the Mandelson Russia links alone should have triggered more curiosity before his appointment

Only just caught up with Bam Margera getting back on a board. Absolutely beatiful to see. Especially if it helps give him the focus to stay sober and get healthy.

look what do you people even want? the prime minister not to appoint the best friend of the world’s most notorious paedophile and sex trafficker as ambassador to the United States? grow up! this is serious politics, not your student nonsense

Keir Starmer in 2020: "I had 8,000 staff as Director of Public Prosecutions and when they had victories I celebrated on their behalf and when they made mistakes I carried the can. "I never turn on my staff. You should never turn on your staff"

The news that Mandelson failed security service vetting is NOT NEW. The story broke 7 MONTHS AGO. See story below. Keir Starmer and No.10 claim they only found out this week. But the Independent told No.10 that it had two sources confirming he failed vetting - in September 2025. A web of deceit.

Keir Starmer: “dunno mate I just work here”

Please please please someone ask starmer “mister prime minister which is it, are you corrupt or are you thick?”

Yes

And for what? For whom? This incurious man, whose political insight has long since failed? Whose life is dedicated to self-enrichment and marginal parasitism on billionaires? There's nothing there worth lifting a finger for.

So much of the Mandelson affair involves people making objectively insane decisions and thinking, well, this surely will not blow up in my face -- despite substantial precedent that, where Mandelson is concerned, it really will definitely blow up in your face.

Literally all of Labour’s scandals in office would have been avoided if they had genuinely modernised the party 2019-24, because they are all things that a modern workplace would go “sorry, you want to do what? Are you nuts?”

Labour MPs: “Hannah Spencer is destroying trust in politics by saying we’re out of touch!!!” Also Labour MPs: here is the biggest load of offensively dumb, dishonest bullshit you’re ever likely to hear about today’s latest disgrace, so open up and get ready to swallow. If you complain, it’s abuse!

It absolutely stinks of arrogance, cynicism and a disdain for the public that - in turn - fuels the publics anger at politics in general. Politicians seem to want a free pass from the public. But you can't expect reasonable people to help you, if you can't help yourselves.

How stupid do you have to be, to appoint Mandelson? How drunk on factionalism do you have to be to appoint Mandelson? How unsuitable for office are you, that you appoint a man you knew had links to the most infamous paedophile in history. Who's already effectively brought down a prince ffs?

The Mandelson affair, including the frankly non credible account of the last 24 hours, is a case study in how off the ranch Westminster is. There's a reason the public is so pissed off with politics. Politicians seem hellbent on justifying that anger.

Mandelson surely the most "ah! nevertheless," story of all time. A rolling series of "ah! nevertheless," events, each one superseding the last, until everyone involved is dead.

Top Foreign Office official to leave post after Mandelson vetting row. Human sacrifice to save Starmer. What did Mandelson do to fail security vetting? Inconceivable that Starmer didn't ask if Mandelson was cleared by security before appointing him. Time to go Mr Starmer.

Seen the latest rake jump from our forensic PM and it's very funny how whenever something happens that would usually have merited his intervention his excuse is basically "I'm the most unaware person to have ever existed" and we're just expected to treat that as anything other than disqualifying.

If I were rich I’d drive a Polestar. I’m officially middle-aged.

You mean to tell me I missed out on this Bayern vs Real nonsense to watch a Sporting suckerpunch that never came? The football was not worth it.

Sporting’s second half performance.

Arsenal vs Sporting is being reffed by a magic eight ball.

I preferred it when Sporting looked the side most likely to score.

I'm sorry, the old Rasputin can't come to the phone right now… Why? 'Cos he’s dead.

Clavicular looks like Chief Wiggum’s most handsome nephew who was rejected from a spot in Scooby Doo’s crew. Looksmaxxing, indeed.

Well duh.

I feel like I gained a +1 to wisdom just reading this.

I misread the headline as one movie and got very excited for a moment…

The football, post the Arsenal game, has been no better to watch than under ETH or Amorim, it’s dreadful pedestrian shite. SJR wanted “best in class” but am not sure any manager would get a consistent tune out of this lot.

Would it be nice for United to stick with Carrick and see what happens? Yes. Is Carrick the second coming? Based on the performances and drops in intensity against West Ham, Everton, Palace, Newcastle, Bournemouth and now Leeds, even when they won, no.

That guy was not wrong.

Lisandro Martinez sent off and Manchester United are down to nine men after deciding not to sub off Manuel Ugarte.

Why did no one break the news that the Erik Ten Hag era is back at Manchester United?!?!?!

Aquila. A show about two kids digging up a Roman spaceship. Wild! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aquila_...

Orban achieved a level of authoritarian consolidation unthinkable here and they still successfully got rid of him. Never let the doomers have the final say.
