If this is how France responds to European wins, then it needs a few years outside of European football. Harsh punishment, but we're not talking isolated incidents, and people died. Let's see whether UEFA want to prevent a short term drop in French TV money more than they want to prevent deaths.

Wrong Washington. Good thinking though lads. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Cannot praise Merseyside emergency services highly enough for how they've managed the past few days, but I fear the genie was let out of the bottle by rushing with the suspects' demographics.

If Labour are getting accused of undoing Brexit, they might as well actually fucking undo Brexit! Why is it we can all see this, but they can’t?

Lots of overcompensation going on today, from every quarter.

📊 "We are in a five - actually six in Wales & Scotland - party system now. Our electoral system is utterly, utterly unfit for purpose in that context" 💬 APPG Vice Chair @elliechowns.bsky.social 🚀 "The first step is setting up that National Commission for Electoral Reform"

Trans people: somehow too fragile to serve in the military, yet too powerful to compete in sports. Fascism thrives on contradiction.

Grim but vital thread

If you don’t know how to insult a woman without relying on misogyny to form your insult you need to up your game

Incredible scenes from Kemi Badenoch’s speech on our trade relationship with Europe.

Even more terrifying than the numbers - the likelihood that Labour will conclude that they need to push even harder to the right instead of setting out why the cult of Farage is wrong, dishonest and corrupt.

Govt Green Paper proposes benefit cuts to “get Disabled people back to work” but offers ZERO realistic plans. Instead, they’re cutting PIP which is NOT an employment-related benefit. Sign our open letter: buff.ly/TJI8pM6 #ItsTimeForInclusion

I'm not going to jump for joy at getting a few percentage points back from the value of what we had when in the EU. Nor am I going to jump on the bandwagon of criticising Labour for it due to my fury about their behavior on unrelated matters. Those doing either, truly do need a long summer off.

When you've 100% completed a game on Steam for ages, and then they add new achievements just because without adding much in the way of new content to enjoy. (RIP Andre Braugher - he was incredible in B99 and it was no age, and no way, to go 🪦 )

It's funny. I don't seem to recall the corresponding BBC headline on Saturday where the BBC recognised that by supporting the EBU's decision on Israel, they were aiding and abetting ethnic cleansing. #BBC #Lineker #Eurovision

The BBC will sack Lineker for his humanity but pay Chris Mason and Laura Kuenssberg eye watering sums to rim Tories and push a right wing agenda. We urgently need press reform.

Fernando "I'm the unluckiest driver in the world". Threw away a WDC at McLaren rather than work for it, rejoined a weak Renault in a huff, joined Ferrari who were clearly a spent force, joined McLaren with an unproven engine supplier, then waddled along to Alpine and AM. Grow up.

F1: make a terrible ultra soft tyre. Pirelli: 👍 F1: why is the ultra soft tyre terrible? Pirelli: 🤷‍♂️

Yuki Tsunoda has more parc ferme breaching new parts on his car than Fernando Alonso has F1 wins in the past 14.5 years (covering the vast majority of his Ferrari days). Quite the shunt. #F1

You just traveled to the Middle East, Donald. They let you go, no issues.

#Eurovision boycott successfully completed but I will confess to having seen the results. Removing the public vote is not the answer. The answer is to review the threshold at which you exclude a participant. EBU's excuse is that technically KAN are within their rules. If so, the rules are wrong.

I saw this and the Belgian flag on my YouTube feed (other European flags are available), and briefly hoped Eurovision had booked an appropriate intermission act. (political statement aside, legitimately good song). www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dp3w...

THE GREATEST BALATRO CONTENT OF ALL TIME? FINAL LIFE, GAME 5, AND ROFFLE TAKES IT! GGs to DrSpectred, Roffle advances to the final! Come catch Edzy vs Nandre! Watch: Nandre POV: www.twitch.tv/nandre Edzy POV: www.twitch.tv/EDZYttv Casting: www.twitch.tv/zainotv

I love Bearman and he has every right to be gutted, but a red flag light is a red flag light. It was visible as he crossed the line. Don't understand the delay while they figure it out? #F1

With talk of a new UK-EU deal what does our polling say about public attitudes to Europe? Firstly the idea of a closer relationship with Europe appeals to a majority of the public. People broadly want our relationship to work better & there’s little appetite for more divergence

I hope Lance Stroll and Jack Doohan are paying close attention to these procedures. #F1 www.youtube.com/shorts/ZUJmRfyqaIE

For those taking a moral stance in skipping #Eurovision this year, stay strong. Come midnight it'll all be over. Eurovision will always be OUR contest, a fanbase grounded in the principles the EBU claims to stand for. If all its broadcasters were covering Gaza properly, we wouldn't be where we are.

MLB PLAYOFFS TOMORROW!!! Roffle vs DrSpectred: 11a ET Edzy vs Nandre/Zain: 1p ET Grand FInals: 3p ET #MajorLeagueBalatro

My tried and tested #Balatro routine: 1. Get excited at the start of a gold stake run at the possibility of doing something dumb but fun. 2. Proceed to do something dumb but fun. 3. Lose in ante 7-8 and ponder why I chose to do something dumb. The game never gets old.

At what point are we allowed to take Gasly's pace seriously? He was fast in FP1 on both tyres used, and the best non-orange car in FP2. Dark horse? #F1

This would seem to explain ReFUK to a very large extent.

I wish there were a way to like, split your posts into a couple of buckets (short of having two accounts). I don't care much for follower count, but it's hard to imagine too many people seeing anything I say that's entirely unrelated to politics, unless they have a high tolerance for politics talk.

In short, Starmer has taken a massive hit among Labour voters, for no gain elsewhere, while boosting Farage's popularity, including doubling his ceiling among Labour voters. I.e., the political scientists were right, Morgan McSweeney was horrendously wrong.

Will be interesting to see if any mileage is done on the hard tyres in practise. The teams want the race to be a one-stopper, and if so want to understand that hard tyre well. But if two-stop is optimal (possible with these compounds), surely it's preferable to run two hard tyres in the race. #F1

Isn't this literally what 99% of people who bet on horses do? #F1 www.youtube.com/shorts/ZUJmR...

Another triumph for the genius that is Morgan McSweeney!

Hope Pirelli's tyre selection helps give Imola the farewell it deserves. #F1

I love #Eurovision and what it should be about, and in that spirit I watched last year despite the elephant in the room as I felt that expressing displeasure was the correct form of protest. Can't bring myself to pay any attention to it this time around.

Body - give me three or four days. Mind - I need to be kept busy It would seem the horrors of the last day have changed my general routine in no way whatsoever.

Many, many, many moons ago, I was fit enough to run 10ks and half marathons in respectable times. That's a distant dream nowadays. I'd take the hour after a half marathon over how I'm feeling now any day of the week. 😩

In the back stretch of a 24-hour mission to do something which is the equivalent of three days' hard work and I'd known about for months, but physical and mental health meant leaving it until I was pushing the bounds of feasibility before starting. Now pushing the bounds of human caffeine intake.

It is deeply irresponsible for organisations to continue to use X as their primary social media platform.

I can only assume the Lib Dems or Greens have something major to talk about this morning, because this is the sort of thing the Bojo Backed Conservative board of the BBC tend to instruct their minions to talk about if they want to avoid covering something else.

Now that's what I call a perfect weather week.
