Boycotting the World Cup feels like a no-brainer at this point. Not safe for fans or players to travel to the US.

They’re murdering nurses. They’re murdering mums. It’s hard to believe they won’t murder football fans during the FIFA World Cup. Maybe it’s time for England to withdraw.

ANOTHER ANGLE: the original video was deleted but I screen capped it. Here it is.

🌿 On site at Westfield Avenue – Phase 3A 🚶‍♂️ Today I visited Phase 3A of the Westfield Avenue Public Realm Improvements, part of the wider transformation connecting Stratford Station, Westfield and Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park.

This should become an election campaign poster for Labour/Libdems/Greens/SNP.

The Court of Appeal's judgement stopping Tower Hamlets from ripping out safety infrastructure is good news for Londoners. It's good for road safety & reducing danger. It's good for air quality, good for health, and good for communities across the capital. www.standard.co.uk/news/london/...

I am ridiculously excited to announce my next guest on The Rough Guide To Rongorongoland is Suggs! Tune into Soho Radio on Tuesday Jan 27th 4-6pm GMT to catch us chatting all things Madness and a whole lot more sohoradio.com

Thank you Mr President, that clears things up.

Massive congratulations to all @saveoursaferstreets.org - such fantastic news!!

It is weird being reminded of the existence of Richard Littlejohn. Like suddenly finding out the Ford Cortina was still in production.

The standard of driving in London is appalling. This driver in my morning commute thought it was ok to drive through one of London’s most dangerous junctions whilst watching a video on her phone. This should be an instant ban.

This guy went to work today, put a mask on, kidnapped a 5 year old child, and then used him as bait so both he and his father could be sent behind bars

Some people complain every time some cycle lanes are built in the UK because "The weather is miserable, no one wants to cycle here!": in two years now of cycling to work, I have caught the rain very few times, and if dressed appropriately bad weather is not an issue. The issue is lack of safe infra.

To break up the doom and chaos, here's an interview with the woman who designed London's newest public space about how it came together, the difficulties of reclaiming three acres from the Thames, and what to look out for on the Bazalgette Embankment. www.londoncentric.media/i/185186036/...

This is elder abuse and if it was happening to your nan you'd call the police. I mean, fuck him, he's a wanker and he's reaping what he's sown but also this is elder abuse and it shouldn't be happening and the people who are exploiting him are evil.

Say what you will about Hitler, at least he knew which countries he was invading.

Should things escalate further and today goes down in history as the end of American hegemony future UK historians may be surprised to find the papers focusing on the Beckhams falling out.

“ICE isn’t the Gestapo. The Gestapo was…” (proceeds to describe qualities that apply to what ICE is currently doing)

Trump, who is not mad, has made 30 Truth Social posts in the last 30 minutes, topics including Muslims in the UK, Biden stealing the election, how right he is on Greenland, and other topics.

What3words is an opaque techy non-solution that seeks to lock people into a proprietary system that replaces a better system that was working perfectly fine. They're almost the last company I'd want to see influencing how government thinks

What the hell is this guy doing in our Parliament? It's really a disgrace.

Not the sort of letter committed to paper by a well man. "Considering your Country decided not to give me the Nobel Peace Prize for having stopped 8 Wars PLUS, I no longer feel an obligation to think purely of Peace"

If there’s ever been a case for the UK imposing retaliatory tariffs it’s here. I will gladly pay 10% to defend democracy 🫡

DISAPPOINTED PIE FACE KLAXON

This is bad @eastmidrailway.bsky.social Closing the main way to interchange between platforms "improves safety"? It saves you employing staff while punishing farepayers who use the bridge for station access or to change platforms without an unnecessary walk. www.nottinghampost.com/news/notting...

Badenoch has missed a trick not doing her sacking Jenrick video like his fare dodging one. Chasing him through Portcullis House saying 'you're bang to rights'.

the European mission to Greenland was fourth in the BBC news running order this morning, which feels a bit like doing a light "and finally..." item about the archduke's motorcade taking a wrong turn in Sarajevo

There are some who say we don’t consult on our newest Low Traffic Neighbourhoods. If that’s the case, it’s worth taking a look at the West Ham LTN engagement report.

Well done @rachelburden.bsky.social on Radio 5 for strongly calling out the hypocrisy of Daisy Cooper regarding X

Adreßbuch der Stadt Gelsenkirchen, 1951

EXCLUSIVE: Leaked WhatsApp messages show Labour MPs urging govt to leave X, arguing that it should "show direction to others in the UK" The MPs said X owner Elon Musk is "fascist" and that the platform's AI tool, Grok, had put "children in harm's way"

A headline for the ages www.politico.eu/article/fran...

Parking on the pavement in London has been illegal for 52 years and in the rest of the UK it's just a fact of life. Central government just opted against a blanket national ban. Anyway here's an excellent advert from when it was banned in London: www.youtube.com/watch?v=a8Yg...

A 23 year old larping as a journalist made a misleading and inaccurate YouTube video that the administration full of chronically online shitposters used to justify the “largest immigration operation ever” and now someone is dead

Just back from the #nffc match after a nice long walk home listening to BBCRNS post-match on rewind. Cracking result, the mood change in our end from half time was huge. Onwards!

John McGovern currently on 5 Live phone-in #nffc

History by Reform: “1666. A Greggs, and the City of London with it, go up in smoke when a stressed-baker drops his Lambert and Butler on a mountain of unnecessary European red tape. Nobody is certain why the fire spreads so quickly, but the answer is probably cycling lanes.”

amazing how the entire machine can pivot within 24 hours. no need to slowly upsell the argument; just issue new marching orders

Without #nffc, PL would be languishing mid-table.

🇪🇺 What a week, huh? 30 Dec.: Eurotunnel blocked due to power failure 31 Dec.: Finnish subsea cable cut in Gulf of Finland 2 Jan.: Latvian subsea cable cut in Baltic Sea 3 Jan.: Power failure affecting 45k Berlin households due to sabotage 4 Jan.: Greek airspace shut down due to "airborne jamming"

Not this absolute rubbish again. He’s been pushing this same made-up pet theory for years based on simplistic assumptions that contradict the actual evidence of both pollution & vehicle miles around LTNs. Why does The Times repeatedly sanction his ignorant fag-packet nonsense?

Five seconds until half time. FFS #nffc

grim posthumous scenario i had not previously considered: you post a picture of the missile headed straight for you, and are memorialized by a bunch of random assholes complaining about alt text

This is quite an important point; if you are a UK citizen with Twitter on your phone, opening it up is like playing Russian roulette that the algorithm might commit a strict liability offence on your behalf.

Extraordinary. 😱

Not everyone supports teeny tiny tommy 10 names. Great to see him being barred from this pub.Kudos to the landlord. But sad to say followers of rancid robinson have been posting horrendous reviews about the pub. Something should be done about this. youtube.com/shorts/y6ZCT...

"Bro, can you not?"

Social Justice Warriors, sir. Thousands of them.

So the Hard Right position is that you should only have to suffer the consequences for tweets inciting racial hatred if you're name is...oh I don't know...Adbel Fattah? If your name is Lucy Connolly and you admit to doing it, you should get a parade actually.

This is just announcing Russia's steps for creating vassal states - move in by force, make them dependent on you for key pillars of the economy, threaten to pull the plug if they ever do something you don't like
