Amazing story in The Times. Reform UK failed to pay VAT to HMRC on its sales (tickets, merchandise). About £400k in all. Not tax avoidance. Not tax evasion. They just didn't realise when you sell stuff you have to charge VAT.

Beat your Ring camera to death with a bat

Every time the news mentions spy’s from China I get Californication playing in my head. EVERY TIME.

Morning #Cats

That Shay Charles fella playing for Northern Ireland is really good. The sort of player that #SaintsFC should try and sign. 🫤

Ever since I finished Question Time, Reform have massively been on the attack. Including a rant from Richard Tice entirely designed to distract from Reform and Russia. Everyone should know about Nathan Gill, the bribes from Russia and the link to Reform.

Is this good Gridiron?

Blustery day, isn't it? Here's the National Grid: Live generation data. Wind and solar are generating 74.2% of our electricity. Gas is generating 13.1%. And yet our household electricity prices are pegged to... the volatile price of gas. Which is the basis on which the right attacks... renewables.

A handy away point in #SaintsFC relegation battle.

The current #SaintsFC lineup will certainly save us from relegation, but it will not get us promoted.

BlueSky shows that if you offer up a reasonable alternative to a toxic App, a sustainable audience will migrate and stick with you through the growing pains. We need to start doing this for EVERY compromised App, from TikTok to Facebook. And I think UK/Europe should be doing this ASAP together.

Nathan Gill, then a Brexit Party MEP, was paid to make pro-Russian media appearances and statements in the European Parliament He organised a presentation on a Ukraine "peace plan" written by a politician who met Vladimir Putin and praised the event the very next day www.nytimes.com/2025/09/26/w...

LIFE IN THE UK IN 2025

Instead of Digital ID for you to stop tax dodging that is almost non-existent we could implement Digital ID for the richest 100,000 people and their companies. That would save £200bn a year.

#SaintsFC going back to three at the back tonight. Still no clue what Will Stills tactics are.

Ireland just released a report showing the huge success of the unconditional basic income it provided to artists. Each $1 spent led to society gaining $1.39. Artists' earned incomes went up more than their side job incomes fell. And they were happier and used less welfare www.gov.ie/en/departmen...

LANDMARK MOMENT - the Greens now have more members across Great Britain than the Lib Dems! Let's keep it going! 👇🏼👇🏾👇🏽 join.greenparty.org.uk Latest stats available: 85,800 @greenparty.org.uk (England & Wales) + @scottishgreens.org combined membership 83,174 @libdems.org.uk (a single party across GB)

Very odd watching BBC News talking about the Lib Dem conference and mentioning how the party has struggled to break through in the media like it's nothing to do with them.

Any recommendations for an online app or site which includes the DLS par score? #Hampshire #Cricket #OneDayCup

My thoughts on the match today. Pompey came for a draw and played like it. They made sure there were a lot of breaks in play, time wasted and tactical fouls. It’s tough to look good when playing against that. And I think #SaintsFC performance should be judged against that background.

Somerset have changed shirts at half time. Are they allowed to do that? 😂 #Hampshire #Cricket

If Mr. Johnson knows the assassin's identity and what their motivation was, then maybe he should contact the FBI. If he doesn't, then perhaps he should shut up rather than stirring up fear and loathing. Grossly irresponsible

Damaging artwork was criticised heavily when Just Stop Oil supposedly did it during a protest...

This is a long shot but I have this memory of reading an interview with Vic Reeves in one of my Mum's magazines in the 90s (Chat, Take A Break, Woman, something like that) & I wonder if anyone else remembers it, because one particular detail really made me laugh?... 1/2

People can be sniffy about US remakes of UK shows, but you've got to admit that Speed is a much better proposition than On The Buses.

On the same day in the Telegraph:

NEW: An Oxford report warns that misleading media coverage is shaping public debate on immigration and human rights. The study finds the ECHR is frequently misreported in deportation cases, fueling misconceptions that erode trust in the legal system. 🧵 [1/8]

This is vile. Local guy speaks to Sky News about the impact of asylum seekers protests. Watch what happens and share widely

Rep. Jamie Raskin tears into Nigel Farage as a "far-right pro-Putin politician" and a "Donald Trump sycophant and wannabe".

BLOBBY! NOOOOOOOO! :((((((

Labour's strategy since the election seems designed to appeal to right-conservative voters. This strategy hasn't worked on its own terms because they have lost the (very few) right-wing voters that they had, while also losing (much) larger numbers of left-wing voters.

Not a single Reform UK MP attended today's Commons statement on child rape gangs.

What do Derby ever do to us? 🤷🏻‍♂️ #SaintsFC

Venn diagram

These demonstrations outside asylum hotels are terrorism. They are designed to terrorise. They involve violence against civilians for political reasons. That is terrorism. Not pating planes. Will the government act, or are they too gutless?

🎶I'm sorry Nick Jackson (woo) There is no deal We called off the Bayern loan-to-buy Fly home to replace the injured guy🎶

Well played.

realistic Star Trek

Farage owns four homes: Family home (£1M, retained after his divorce) Two beachside homes in Kent (via his comp. Thorn In The Side Ltd) One investment property in Surrey (rented out) Radio silence from media about this but uproar about Angela Rayner’s two homes & ministerial home #NigelFarage

I am sickened by the relentless demonisation of refugees. No refugee underfunded a school. No refugee closed a hospital. No refugee took away support from the sick and disabled. We need solutions not scapegoats. Stop blaming refugees and tax the rich instead!

Matsuki? More like Matzilla! Amirite? #SaintsFC

Matsuki? More like Matzilla! Amirite? #SaintsFC

Reform UK, which has a grand total of four MPs, was just given an uninterrupted platform for an hour and a half on the BBC and Sky News channels, in order to talk about its plans for mass deportations When was the last time the Greens (with four MPs) or the Lib Dems (with 72) were given the same?

What are the chances that Dibling will be loaned by Everton out to a championship club in January? #SaintsFC

fundamentally the problem is that if you think "hotels are where I stay on holiday and I like being on holiday so living in a hotel must be fun and it's not fair others get to do it and not me" then you have the intellectual reasoning of a little child and it's going to be hard to engage with you

The media every time Wrexham play

I'm very pro BBC. Used to work there, too. But fuck me. More like this AI bollocks and I might just lean towards binning the license fee. Give me @bigadamsport.bsky.social and the like, or just put some bullet points on the website. None of this shite. Nobody wants this. #saintsfc
