Really concerned to see Tommy Robinson launching a vile personal attack on the brilliant Daisy Cooper for asking about an important national security issue at PMQs. Very low.

Good to see the Conservative Party committed to keeping the deficit down by *checks notes* spending £2 billion giving tax breaks for private education, creating a massive new deportation force and pledging to maintain pensioner benefits.

You don’t have to be called Steve or Stephen to work at Blackpool, but it does help.

What an admirably clear statement from the Jewish Leadership Council, especially when all of those involved must surely have been dealing with so many other urgent challenges in safety, security and grief + shock today before having this further divisive and distracting intervention to address too.

Oh my god. Have I Got News For You just referred to this completely false claim as a fact!!

I received this from a colleague in Manchester about the courageous actions of Rabbi Daniel Walker at Heaton Park Hebrew Congregation Synagogue: ‘The Rabbi calmly shut that synagogue door to prevent Jihad and his murderous intentions in…. (cont’d)

Jane Goodall made the world a better place. She helped shape how we view the world around us, fought vehemently for the environment, and her love of chimpanzees was infectious. She will be greatly missed. www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/rcn...

The Lionesses and Red Roses have really spoilt my children. Supporting England is meant to be an endless series of disappointments! They don’t know they’ve been born

What a perfect description of the orange nonce. 👌

People are going to be extremely pissed off with this defeat. They're going to blame Moyes. They're right on both counts. This was an easily winnable game and we've blown it.

Why are the American president's claims about autism the first item on British news bulletins? He's not our president, the advice doesn't apply here and he's not presented any evidence to support his assertions. So why spread these claims? What make this the biggest story in the UK?

‘It’s this week’s tributes from a vassal state.’ Andrew Marr asks: ‘is our ancient democracy becoming an obedient subsidiary of Trump’s America?’

Here is Danny Kruger MP in Parliament, as a Tory MP before defecting today, berating Reform UK for "simply replacing the words Conservative Party with the words Reform Party... in a desperate search for relevance", then warning they would "spend money like drunken sailors". ~AA

The musician, known for his political activism, speaks to Josiah Mortimer about why progressive patriotism isn’t about flags and how the absence of Brexit in political debate worries him

In the space of the last 8 days, I saw Everton teams play at: - Anfield - Hill Dickinson Stadium - Goodison Park The 3 stadiums that Everton built in our city.✊🏻

Interesting that the ultra-left crowd at The Last Night of the Proms chose to wave so many EU flags - bastards.

Here's a short happy-go-lucky 🎶 parody about the way that Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is now collapsing American healthcare - based off #PaulSimon's toe-tapping "Me and Julio Down by the Schoolyard". youtu.be/FDiXrd-R68U It's called: "Measles and Polio Down in the Schoolyard."

OK this latest press release from the ICC has seriously pissed me off. The VERY FIRST World Cup in 1973 was entirely umpired by women. Maybe pause a minute from puffing yourselves up to read a history book? (I can recommend a good one... 😂) www.icc-cricket.com/media-releas...

there’s a tweet for every occasion

Dorries joins Reform - 'I'm shocked to the core' said nobody, ever.

Word of the day is ‘tamalou’: a French name for an older person who no longer greets their friends with ‘how was your holiday?, but with ‘t’as mal où ?’, ‘where does it hurt?’. There follows an enthusiastic account of aches and pains and doctor’s appointments.

Mike is a good blue and is fundraising for an all-terrain chair he can use to get out & about with his kids despite his MS. Please spare anything you could. Cheers. www.gofundme.com/f/help-mike-...

Current state of UK political discourse.

Feels like the flag debate has been kicking around my whole life and it still boils down to: Civic institutions should fly the flag routinely. Sporting occasions and national events, sure get it out. Year round flag on your house, bit weird, trashy. Doing it to "intimidate the forrins", obvs bad

Here’s this week’s cartoon for @sport.theguardian.com www.theguardian.com/football/pic...

I largely agree with this analogy. The main difference is that the dysfunction in No.10 is a serious problem, whereas the Man U clown show is objectively hilarious and provides a major boost to societal wellbeing

Reform MP says they will negotiate with the Taliban.

The flags? Fine, whatever. But some actually nice quality ones please without any fucking football clubs on them. Painting shit on Zebra Crossings and Roundabouts? Well you have demonstrated you don't know what a straight line is so maybe don't vandalise public property?

That's my city. Liverpool is a was built by immigrants. Our city is always home and welcome to them. Right wing fascists on the other hand can do one as we say, they are never welcome.

@meisarch.bsky.social Wise words from Dan Meis; the world’s greatest stadium architect. Let’s start as we mean to go on! Up the toffees! #utft

“Look at yourself in the mirror, man! These are human beings.” "Parts of this debate have got completely out of control." @jameshansonradio.bsky.social responds to a 'disgraceful' text message sent in about asylum seekers.

Letter of the day (in the Times)

Arresting 400+ people for the "terrorist" offence of protesting against mass murder while large segments of the right are openly encouraging riots against immigrants is a tale of a very unhappy country and government.

As we enjoy our shiny new home on the waterfront today, it’s worth taking a moment to remember the many Evertonians who fought the Kirkby move, specifically those involved in Keep Everton In Our City. Rather than BMD, we could’ve been playing in this…
