That look you get when you're desperate to be PM, but lack the cojones to publicly defend your country's troops...

In other news, I was inadvertently racist at school, I inadvertently lied about my house purchase to avoid tax and inadvertently led a party that was infiltrated by Russia.

More reasons London is the world’s #1 city this week: We've kept our position as the world’s leading financial centre. We've been named the most powerful city in the world. Ignore the critics - London still beats them all.

Left: Keir Starmer, "We risk becoming an island of strangers" Right: Mark Carney, "In a time of rising populism and ethnic nationalism, Canada can show how diversity is a strength, not a weakness"

I cannot tell you how absolutely infuriatingly this stuff comes across to Europeans. When we say America is no longer a reliable ally, it goes considerably deeper than Donald Trump himself. This kind of complacent, condescending shit is a *huge* part of it.

"Morocco Will Seek to Win the Africa Cup of Nations by Appealing to the Rules" If Morocco do this, after all their own shenanigans, the rest of the continent should exclude them from any future AFCONs; let them stick to the Arab Cup. share.google/9sCudhd3DEer...

Let's not blow this out of proportion. It was just an admin error. Two admin errors. A few admin errors. Seventeen admin errors worth £380,000.

We’ll keep doing our talking on the pitch while these former Manchester City players keep chatting sh*t…

#Arsenal #AFC #INTARS

Love watching on Amazon. Superb coverage without all the exhausting narrative that makes Sky so fucking annoying to have to watch every week.

Is it just me or has Eze been losing the ball a bit too easily? #Arsenal

Set piece F.C. Ole! Ole!!

Some perspective: The S&P opened down -1.3% on Trump's Greenland saber-rattling. That's $750 billion of wealth destroyed -- roughly equal to estimates of the value of Greenland. And so ~in dollar terms~ his shenanigans have already cost the US one Greenland, and we've got nothing to show for it.

For those who pay attention, it was Farage (not content with destroying the UK's economy through Brexit) who handed him this talking point. www.theguardian.com/world/live/2...

Dr. Gladys West, the pioneering mathematician whose work laid the foundation for modern GPS technology, has died. She was 95.

I'm perfectly aware this is by far not the worst thing he's done, but Trump's constant presence - day after day after day - in the lives and headspaces of hundreds of millions of people (billions?), in the US and outside, is so taxing. Every morning, we wake up and have to think about this asshole.

Re-(form)er-Tories... www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

So, let me get this right. We're further ahead in the table than we were at the start of the weekend but some Arsenal fans want Arteta out. Dickheads.

I’m old enough to remember when many of the voices saying very little tonight told us very loudly that Obama and Biden were anti-British.

Even that lickspittle Farage has condemned this madness. Starmer needs to face up to reality; MAGA USA is an adversary and has to be confronted, rather than appeased, wherever possible. www.theguardian.com/world/2026/j...

🚨By-elections to be called automatically when MPs defect to another party - lets get this to the 100,000 signatures needed petition.parliament.uk/petitions/73...

Not for the world but for, 1. The USA: you guys elected him, own your shame. 2. Venezuela: for electing and opposition leader so craven she gave up the medal, and so stupid she thought Trump will help her as a result.

Some disparate thoughts on Badenoch vs Jenrick iandunt.substack.com/p/some-dispa...

Arteta (43) and Rosenior (41). 🤯 Really puts our manager's journey into perspective. 📈 When you consider the absolute shit show he was handed and how young he was when he took the reigns, the work he’s done to put us in the position we're in, is nothing short of exemplary. 🔴⚪

Having previously triumphed in a Premier League 1:1 draw at home to #Arsenal, victorious Chelsea have gone even further, heroically losing 2:3 at home to the same opponent (or so the pundits would have you believe). COYG!!

Hope they can trace the 4% and arrest them.

Oh no!

Donald Trump didn't bubble up out of Mordor. He isn't an alien. He is a product of an American culture which has been this way for many decades. His only super power is that he says the quiet part - that has been behind closed doors for decades - out loud.

Hold on a mo... we're top of the league, top of the champions' league, in both domestic cups, deep, world-class squad, injuries clearing, top, top manager... AND we're not where Sp*ds, Utd or Chelsea are... Life's good! Enjoy your week, everyone!

Some important new government policy that Native Americans might be interested in:

My God, we're well and truly living in the bad timeline.

More than anything else in this period, it's been the Media's ease (even the Guardian!) with normalising this man that has horrified me. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Anxiously asks "is it possible to die of laughter?"... www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Well, that was shit.... (Let us never speak about it again). #Arsenal

Anthony Taylor is a special little man...

This is literally what they do whenever a Black person is killed by police. No matter how solid the evidence is, they will keep pushing that lie, not just to poison the conversation and make sure the killer walks free, but to reassert the political idea that these people deserve to be killed.

Sky News on Renee Nicole Good murder: "There are deeply conflicting accounts of what happened." REALLY? Gonna both-sides this? One "account" can be seen on video and is confirmed by a dozen eye-witnesses. The other is a social media post by history's most notorious pathological liar. Grow a spine.

I call on my party and my government to remove themselves entirely from X and communicate with the public where they actually participate online and can be protected from such illegality.

This is also a field test. If the press lets them muddy the waters on executing a woman in Minneapolis despite multiple witnesses and video recordings clearly depicting what happened, the message they'll take away is that there's nothing they can't get away with. Nothing.

Danish guy gets it

Folks, Arsenal are six points clear AND we've wiped out their goal difference advantage

This referee is either blind or on the take! Bournemouth blatantly pulling back #Arsenal players right under his nose.

Marco Rubio is reportedly saying Maduro will stand trial in US courts. Which means it’s now the US administration’s position that US courts can hold foreign presidents, but not the US president, accountable for crimes.

Guess our point at Sunderland wasn’t so bad after all eh?

100 million people is ⅓ of the population of the United States of America. It also happens to be roughly the number of Black and Brown people who happen to be citizens. This is not a mistake. This is a promise. From the official account of the Department of F̶a̶t̶h̶e̶r̶l̶a̶n̶d̶ ̶Homeland Security.

This is really grim. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/28/o...
