“Verify your age” When England won the World Cup in 1966 I remember my (Scottish) aunt saying she felt sorry for the Germans.

Make time for reading this at some point if you're a "If I didn't love football, I'd fucking hate it" sort of person

Happy Bastille Day! Today French people celebrate their ancestors who became fed up with an aloof regime they were unable to hold to account. Today I am introducing a Bill to close the British Royal Family’s outrageous carve-outs in the FOI Act. www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/poli...

In case there was any doubt. Restricting access to benefits isn't enough for Conservatives/Badenoch. They want to deport/"remigrate" people who came here on legal work visas, not because of (debunked) claims about benefits/fiscal costs but because they've embraced an openly ethnonationalist agenda

I need a music lawyer. If you know of one that I can talk to, please DM me. This is why: youtu.be/5vIItxrgL-o

Hello BBC R4 news? Silent on that tonight. Imagine it had been a plot against a synagogue. Neither is a. Eatable, but apparently BBC news thinks this one merits little coverage. And the bbc says it has to be balanced. Absolute b0ll0ck5

"Hey, Micky, what does 'incoherently' mean?"

He should scrap bitcoin. So should the EU. Watching BBC2 now "The Tech Billionaire Takeover" and these people disgust me.

Watching ‘The Tech Billionaire Takeover’ on BBC2. The Liberland arseholes- I wish Croatian police puts them all in prison. What a bunch of idiots.

BBC2 now "The Tech Billionaire Takeover." Disgusted by the actions of these people.

Watching The Tech Billionaire Takeover on BBC2. Pure rage bait full of slapable men who don’t make anything truly useful. Sickening.

Are you watching BBC2's The Tech Billionaire Takeover? On now. 9pm 12th July. Disgusted by these people.

Egypt fans being pulled aside, patted down, and double-checked before the Argentina vs. Egypt match, while Argentina supporters were allowed to walk through security without the same level of screening. And this is exactly why people keep accusing FIFA of double standards.

Jeez. The tabloids are going to run with the Falklands again. 🫣

This goes for anyone who shares Rupert Lowe’s politics: keep Jude Bellingham’s name out of your mouth.

I think politicians that have amped up rhetoric, using words which increase chances of real world violence (like ‘traitor’), normalising hate speech and increasing division because they’re desperate for attention need to take some responsibility for the fact that MPs are less safe in 2026.

Some tremendous new euphemisms for "horrible hateful cunt" been dropping in last 24 hours

Yes, I pay myself rent in order to avoid tax, but it is coincidentally £1 less than the level at which I would have to declare it under Parliament's transparency rules.

As much as the saying is fight fire with fire, you don’t fight evil by being more evil.

Absolutely, definitely, not “the Establishment”…

You honestly don't have to show me what Twitter's saying. That's why I'm here and not there.

Chris Mason now pivots back to cheerleading Farage Saying of MSM focus on his dodgy finances “It has suffocated his capacity to do what he loves – be out in front of the cameras all the time, shaping and often leading the national debate” He’d do nothing of the kind without BBC promoting him❗️

Hey, they are " anti establishment" with a leader Educated at Dulwich College, who went into the City of London and traded, with his Coutts bank account and 5 houses. This is just "class envy" Antonia!😂😂

Reform Sandwell have CHOSEN to take away the holiday food vouchers that Sandwell Labour kept in 2025-6 and budgeted for in 2026-7 That’s families on free school meals expecting help *this summer* who now won’t get it. Shameful.

In politics, we’re torn between ideals and practicalities, aspirations and realities, the world as we want it, and as we find it But one day a manifesto comes along that reconciles both in every pledge. A rare moment of clarity and hope

Colombia v Switzerland being referred to as Charlie v The Chocolate Factory.

Saying you're the "most physically attacked" MP when two MPs have been killed in the last decade is just horribly self-absorbed.

Unsurprising to see Farage, a billionaire-backed politician who can hardly be bothered turning up to Parliament most of the time, attempting to further distract from his dodgy finances with this stunt. We cannot afford to underestimate or overlook the corrosive effect of dark money on our politics.

I mean, I know George Cottrell calls Farage "daddy" but I'm not sure that strictly qualifies him as family

Cheer up, USA. One of your soccer teams has won 4 World Cups.

100% tariffs on waffles and Tintin books incoming.

Hydration break #WorldCup

“Cat and mouse” chat at half time. They just can’t stop talking about Bob the cat can they!

Things are starting to look very dark for Farage. He's stuck in a ferocious scandal where he cannot get his story straight and his excuses raise more questions than they answer inews.co.uk/opinion/nige...

Frankly im somewhat ashamed of any MUFC supporters supporting England. You need a good hard look at your morals lads.

Any effigies of Quansah being hung outside East End pubs yet? #worldcup

George Cottrell, the convicted criminal and crypto-gambler, handed out a business card printed with the Reform UK logo and Nigel Farage’s official email address despite having no formal role in the party. From myself and Insight in today's Times. www.thetimes.com/uk/politics/...

NEW: Before cryptobillionaire Christopher Harborne gave £5m to @nigel_farage, he gave £1m to Boris Johnson. For what?? Today @thenerve.news news reveals new evidence that tracks Harborne's investments in defence firm QinetiQ...to key defence announcements from Boris Johnson. 1/

Come on Norway!

AI isn't 'inevitable'. Banning and resisting it isn't 'going against the tide'. We can reject this narrative and determine our own future. But it will be a fight, and it will take greater tech literacy. Which tools are bad and which are not? Who are the bad actors? Which politicians are fighting?

This has hsd very little communication or media coverage to public audiences, beyond policy stakeholders. But Tommy Robinson, Nigel Farage and X influencers are heavily pushing it as a major threat The govt should think seriously about its engagement strategies to get to broad public views

Why do those ref-cam shots have a weird look to them? Almost as if they are computer game figures?

I'll probably get dog's abuse from her juvenile fan loons now Instead of directing your threats & anger @ me, direct your anger (not threats) @ those who like to reward racist Nazi concentration camp managers with champagne & lobster. Also see both their dads' political leanings & donations.
