'The Minnesota man who was killed by federal agents on Saturday has been identified as Alex Pretti, 37, a registered nurse working in the intensive care unit at the Minneapolis VA Health Care System, which serves veterans.'

"He has emptied ashtrays over our graves." Donald Trump has insulted the 457 British troops who fought and died in Afghanistan. @mrjamesob.bsky.social asks: Is this the worst thing he's ever done?

I try not to curse on socials but Just fuck the fuck off Trump you utter lowlife @mrjamesob.bsky.social

52 years of memories just showed up at the door... Miss the Grand Old Lady more than ever.

He makes us proud versus your boy… Agolf Taco

Enter ''fixtures'' into the search box. And tell me the Premier League isn't on a slippery slope. Tens of Thousands of fans across the country hugely inconvenienced again. Barely a sat 3pm to be had. Clubs already making it harder to pass on season tickets. Golden goose being choked to death

Who even let the racist rapist, the senile pant shitter, the obnoxious serial liar into Europe? Shovel the prick back to AF1 and tell him not to come back #Trump

NEW: NEW: Standards commissioner finds Nigel Farage committed seventeen breaches of MPs code of conduct. He failed to declare £333,000 in outside interests (more than 3x MPs annual salary)…

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.

BREAKING: MAD KING! Trump sets his sights on conquering Canada in addition to Greenland and posts a map showing both regions as territories of the United States. We're accelerating towards a historic disaster here.

Carney: "American hegemony in particular helped provide public goods, a stable financial system... this bargain no longer works. Let me be direct. We are in the midst of a rupture, not a transition... recently, great powers have begun using economic integration as a weapon. Tariffs as leverage ... "

Trump, who is not mad, has made 30 Truth Social posts in the last 30 minutes, topics including Muslims in the UK, Biden stealing the election, how right he is on Greenland, and other topics.

The Prime Minister of Belgium speaks:

This is what happened in our neighborhood yesterday. ICE snatched a human being off of our streets, roughed them up badly, and then pepper sprayed legal observers as they documented it all. This is a daily occurrence happening all throughout Minnesota right now.

Does this moronic prick ever shut up or even sleep? Absolutely sick of him living rent free in our heads 24/7. Somebody give him another Burger.. www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cp...

Tonight's turret meeting will be pretty awkward

OOpsie...

Not surprised to see Amazon at the top of this list, but FedEx and UPS. You know what to do.

who could have predicted that stopping international students, care workers and nurses from coming to the UK would damage the economy/public finances while yielding precisely no political benefits? Oh. Me. [& lots of others obviously]

Happy new year? In the first 10 days... Trump invading sovereign nations Ukraine still under siege Tories overtake labour in the polls That mad Welsh woman on Traitors England folding in the Ashes cricket And Everton being Everton ''Things can only get b.....?"

Number crunching: Pay and dividends of Bet365 chief executive v total fiscal cost of gambling-related harm. From the new Private Eye, out now.

This, please.

This is the ninth shooting by ICE since September (I did not know that). All of them were into vehicles.

OK tbf I got one thing wrong: I hadn’t realised the US is so degraded that the federal government will steal Venezuela’s oil to be sold and the funds placed into a private account controlled by Trump. He’ll make big money.

Times Radio giving Farage airtime to commentate on PMQs rather than him actually turning up for it. Quislings.

I'm a democrat. A dove not a hawk. Anti violence to the core. But it is surely legitimate to now ask the question. Would the world not be a better place without DJ Trump poisoning it?

Happy 2026 everyone....

If one picture sums up this #Ashes series - it's the Comm box as Jacks drops the "dolly" catch...

Everyone, in and out of America keeps hoping/assuming that surely, eventually, something or someone will stop Trump. Some constitutional guardrail. Some court ruling. Some level of corruption, scandal or abuse too big to be ignored. We wait, and wait in vain. Better to act for ourselves.

That's for the drunken London yobbos in the crowd this last week. Well done young Luke... @jonathanliew.bsky.social @officialpdc.bsky.social www.theguardian.com/sport/live/2...

How many times do people need to be told that X is not a trustworthy platform?

Please give a thought to people whose New Year’s Eve was spent in bomb shelters because a criminal invader was trying to destroy their energy infrastructure.

Happy New Year you lovely people. A reminder that 2026 should be the year you leave X (if you haven’t already!)

This year was also the year in which I failed to write a new end-of-year poem.

Facts!

The perfect tribute to John Robertson would be to watch the fantastic NFFC doc film ''I Believe in Miracles..'' A little chubby, slow winger as Cloughie would have him.. who went on to create the assist for one EC final victory.. and score the winner in the next. youtu.be/d4_6hVPyKZw?...

This is what Farage campaigned for. Why Welsh farmers think he's their friend is beyond me.

I’m entering The Teenager as potential winner of #Duvetknowitschristmas He’s had to move from his bedroom to the unconverted attic Cardboard floor & headboard is a nice touch which I’m sure he appreciates He think it looks like he’s living in a meth den #DuvetKnowItsChristmas

I'm finding Premier League so monotonous and the tedium goes far beyond watching Everton. So many factors are eroding the essence of the game, from match-going fans paying to be inconvenienced to VAR and robotic football. Latest piece on Substack: ellbretland.substack.com/p/the-premie...

This year we saw 15,000 year old cave art in France..classical Danish Gothic piano at the RAH ..& said goodbye to the old lady of Goodison...yet there remains one absolute stand out cultural highlight of the year.. the Shack hometown reunion was something else. Is right.

Brexit is still severely damaging Britain. We must rejoin our neighbours and most important trading partners, and get rid of the Brexit red tape. Brexit red tape is utterly destroying the British economy.

Oh

Other than poor line, poor length, average speed and no control.. Carse is a great bowler for England.

Happy 82nd birthday to living legend Dandy Livingstone. Dandy wrote and recorded this classic in London in 1967. He only knew that The Specials had covered it in '79 when he saw them playing it on Top Of The Pops... youtu.be/OXXOaecD52k?... #reggae #reggaesky #vinylsky #vinyl #musicsky
