Just briefly on that unbelievably stupid Falklands thing iandunt.substack.com/p/football-e...

A reminder that this is the guy we're all now supposed to be listening to on the subject of the safety of MPs

This morning in Biddeford, Maine, a 26-year-old man said goodbye to his wife and daughter and left for work. Moments later he was dead, shot in the head by ICE agents, the second man ICE has killed in six days. ICE is killing our neighbors. ICE cannot be reformed. Abolish ICE.

So Reform UK is funded by Russia, GB News is owned by a hedge fund in Dubai and the Daily Mail is registered in Bermuda. That's patriotism for you these days.

@arrontk.bsky.social walking to his console when a game needs finishing

Embarrassing AI shit

Makes a change for England tbh

I will never understand anyone who enjoys this weather. Give me a crisp 17c (62f) and leave me alone to enjoy my games indoors.

Glorious

Every lifelong football fan I've ever met is like "I think players are supposed to serve their suspension" and every adult convert is like "the Archon of Constantinople's epistle on the Pentacostine rites of the eucharist clearly states handballs are mandatory."

I feel like Don shouting THAT’S WHAT THE MONEY IS FOR except it’s THAT’S WHAT WATCHING FOOTBALL IS LIKE

Saw this ad for a goat on Facebook. It’s perhaps the greatest advert I’ve ever read. It’s just superb.

Cabo Verde holding the European and World champions to draws in normal time with a team of journeymen pulled from across the diaspora has to be one of the all time great world cup performances.

UK Bluesky is normally really easy to follow, except the one week a month it descends into incomprehensible screaming because someone from North Flobershire dared refer to themselves as a Galbrilander despite their nan having actually been born south of Brookingsmarch-on-the-Tarrowack.

my kind of Jubilee, the Japanese national team vs. 100 kids

I think we just passed oops.

Pass this on. You never know who might need it and it could make a huge difference if someone is struggling for whatever reason

As you boil in the heat, never forget that all those people who for decades have deliberately and maliciously disrupted efforts to tackle climate change are probably sitting comfortable in their large air conditioned houses. Houses funded on the back of lies/misinformation they helped propagate.

Reminder that Musk literally shared Russian disinformation to justify his USAID cuts

When reality surpasses fiction! Top: fictional forecast for August 2050, broadcast by French TV in 2014 to warn about the consequences of global warming. Bottom: Real French forecast for yesterday, June 22, 2026.

if anyone needs me: no, you don't

Labour won by 20 points and net immigration is down by over 80% in two years. But sure write your column again.

@arrontk.bsky.social has promised a bald cap stream www.twitch.tv/arrontko/cli... please remind him of this as often as you can cough @tncarly.bsky.social @scatterbuggg.bsky.social @sammmystern.bsky.social cough

Truss is Any% champion, absolute GOAT, can't beat that time. She practically noclipped to the end credits during her first speech then got held up with five weeks of buffering

Don’t ban kids using YouTube. Make YouTube behave like a broadcaster. Pay creators. Reinvest in the creative industries. Pay fair tax back into creators’ economies. Follow guidelines on fair usage and copyright. Play fair. It’s bigger than TV now. Make it behave like TV.

i would simply make housing affordable to first time buyers and renters without in any way affecting the asset wealth of existing owner occupiers. Easy to do, but nobody has yet dared to do it properly

Nearly 100 fans from Morocco applied to go the USA. The US blocked nearly 90% of their applications. This is the most racist World Cup ever and it should be boycotted by everyone, the USA is refusing to let non-white people come.

How you can you write the first sentence here without realising that it completely nullifies the second?

I am once again wondering whether "no, the legitimate concerns racists don't have a point, fuck off, they're racist" might have been a better way of combating the far right.

When the father of a murdered son makes a public statement saying "we do not want his death to be used to create further division, hatred or tension", then I believe it's incumbent on any news outlet reporting on Farage's comments to ensure people know he has chosen to disregard the family's wishes.

Happy Pride Month 🏳️‍🌈🩵

Good morning and happy pride month lovely people! No matter who you love or how you identify - You are worthy. You are important. You are loved. 🏳️‍🌈✨🏳️‍🌈✨🏳️‍🌈✨🏳️‍🌈✨🏳️‍🌈✨🏳️‍🌈✨🏳️‍🌈

So that’s two of the “Raise the Colours” organisers now charged with violent crimes & a fifth of the 2024 race rioters with domestic abuse. Makes you wonder whether “innocent patriotism” & “protecting women & girls” are just covers for thuggish racism & misogyny?

London is BROKEN (ft. Dawn Butler)

Yesterday Far Right leader Tommy Robinson and his followers openly called for Islam to be removed from the UK and us Muslims to be remigrated. If he had said this about Jews, quite rightly, there would be a national response. But it has been eerily quiet today.

Please retweet.

It's a shame that "defend your culture" always means "hate strangers different from you" and never "enact anti-pollution laws so that you can go fishing with your grandkids the way your grandpa taught you."

Farage said the NMW (£12.71/hr for 21+, £10.85/hr for 18-20) is too high. And he’s going to torch the welfare bill… Meanwhile, he’s the highest earning MP, trousering over £1M/year for not being an MP, taking foreign cash, investing in crypto with Kwarteng and just taking the piss out of everyone.

Preach

Just been approached by Huel to see if I'll be part of their paid influencer campaign. I don't think they're quite across what I do for a living. (FWIW, and in the interests of having influence, I regard Huel as a soul destroying, miserable product and the death of all that is worth living for.)

supreme accidental comic timing in Commons just now during PMQs: Keir Starmer: “there is only one party leader who has shown he will say anything, no matter how divisive, if he is paid to do so” Speaker (calling the next question): “Nigel Farage”

When I said 'Kemi Badenoch is so partisan, under her the Tories would oppose puppies and kittens if Labour said something nice about them', I didn't mean it literally.

As Nigel Farage is now so concerned about the influence of "foreign-born voters" can he finally explain why a Kazakhstan-born billionaire appears to be bankrolling his own political party?

make that three weeks without wifi in the house

Politics London discussing driverless taxis casually referring to “jaywalking pedestrians”. Jaywalking is not a thing in UK law. Transport for London and Government had better not be asleep at the wheel on this.

Just checking, it's now ok to flee your homeland, because you're afraid for your safety, and seek refuge in another Country? Glad we've cleared that up. Let's hear no more about immigration and refugees then.
