Hearing that Trump has intervened to overrule Gamu's elimination from The X Factor

Get John Terry off my screen

Now that deserves the full Wonderwall

Hopeless, bring back Hodgson

For Fathers' Day, Keir Starmer posts a photo of his own father, who died in 2018, and a non-political message. The replies are a torrent of vitriol & cruelty, all with hundreds of Likes. We complain a lot about the quality of leadership, but there's a huge problem with the way we treat politicians

It is absolutely the perfect metaphor for this myopic and utterly thick US administration. Government By Unintended Consequences.

Raffle now totally sold out but auction lots open til just after 8pm. So much good stuff. Like 2x Ian Rankin first editions signed *to you*. Jimmy Choo bag currently *2k* below value. Lunch for 2 with history maven Dan Jones! Loads more. Don’t fancy bidding, you can still donate. Thank you!

Beauty Banks is such a worthy cause. Memo to self: bung them some money.

Can confirm Fatboy Slim was with us

Genuinely gutted. My absolute hero. Hockney allowed us to look past the dull grey repetitions of our lives and revel in the splendour of it all. It is wonderful to be alive, and Hockney tapped in to the vibrations of atoms with his paint, celebrated beauty, fecundity, vibrance, joy, love. Life.

there were already many reasons to do this but Elon Musk actively encouraging racist violence in Belfast should be the final straw for every UK government institution to stop doing business - including being on X - with him in any way, and for him to be barred from entry to the country.

This will go down as a major stain on FIFA and its World Cup before a ball has even been kicked. Infantino has been banging on about the most inclusive World Cup and Africa’s top referee can’t even get into the country. www.nytimes.com/2026/06/08/w...

I know we shouldn't respond to the trolling, but Vance implying that Sikhs are part of a "mass invasion of migrants", when they fought in tens of thousands for the British in two world wars and even THE INDIAN MUTINY is 🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢

Loads of *amazing* auction lots and raffle prizes up for grabs - all to raise urgently needed funds to people in hygiene poverty across the UK. Check out the lots, buy some raffle tickets if you can - you'll be helping a deserving cause that urgently needs it! Thanks. uk.givergy.com/beautybanksh...

When the father of a murdered son makes a public statement saying "we do not want his death to be used to create further division, hatred or tension", then I believe it's incumbent on any news outlet reporting on Farage's comments to ensure people know he has chosen to disregard the family's wishes.

One city. 9 million people. All of us Londoners. We will never be divided.

Reform is a protest party. A protest against decency, integrity, kindness, expertise, and progress. It's a party of pettiness and hate, and it is made up of petty and hateful people from the grassroots to the very top. What it doesn't have is competence. So good luck with the bins and potholes.

The populist right don't give a crap about solving real societal problems. Just running a cretinous pantomime for people who mistake “owning the libs” for improving their own lives — while the men at the top quietly fill their pockets and walk away richer than ever.

Fabulous how this is being reported as “Great news from gracious President” and not “World still cowering under unpredictable whims of mad, senile Emperor.” www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Coachella sure rolled around quickly, seems like only a week ago it was on.

This entire clip down to the "Trump Orders McDonalds" crawl at the bottom feels like a fever dream, you couldn't recreate the cultural and societal trajectory that created this moment if you tried for a thousand years

Anyone who contributed to this event - the politicians and journalists who normalised him or submitted to his narratives, around the world - should hang their fucking heads in shame. They've put us in the most dangerous geopolitical situation for a generation and left a people at risk of genocide.

This should always have been the end of it.

This is an actual post. This is not funny. This is beyond desperate. This is a deeply unwell man who doesn’t belong anywhere near the levers of power. Every member of his cabinet and Congress is complicit in not demanding his removal now.

This is an extraordinary front page for a British newspaper to run. Donald Trump’s delinquency, derangement & imperilling of international security is somehow a stick with which to beat our own Prime Minister, who has negotiated the current horror show rather well. It is actually sickening.

If you still support this deranged, senile old fuck after this, there is no hope for you.

Not sure he should be in charge

It’s hard to think of anyone who needs a kick in the nuts more than this dolt.

Trump at wartime

I was in a 2 hour briefing today on the Iran War. All the briefings are closed, because Trump can't defend this war in public. I obviously can't disclose classified info, but you deserve to know how incoherent and incomplete these war plans are. 1/ Here's what I can share:

When Brexit was slammed for being an act of pure prejudice, all the Brexiters howled about ‘sovereignty’ and ‘taking back control’. Now, the very same people howl that we should just obey Trump and put our country in the firing line. They lied about everything. All of it. Every single part.

It's extremely clear that the US doesn't really have an objective here except to inflict maximum pain, and attacking water supply is going to end catastrophically for the entire region. It's not just a war crime, it's approaching a crime against humanity.

It’s about time someone said it out loud on a national news show. Major Gen. Paul Eaton (ret.) — on Trump’s interest in putting boots on the ground: “We have a situation where someone called a malignant narcissist is unfortunately drifting into a state of dementia that is difficult to manage.”

That shirt’s way too small.

Oh dear

Sorry I'm not more open-minded about LLMs, it's just some fucking maniacs shoveled out a bunch of useless bloatware featuring that technology, did not give me any chance to opt out, reorganized the entire economy around it, zeroed out gains made by green energy, and made it impossible to buy RAM

I see the ‘patriotic’ parts of the press are delighting in a US President having a go at the PM.

Just naked racism from Farage and the Mail. Only British and commonwealth citizens are allowed to vote. It's not 'stealing' to legally take part in your own country's elections

Matt Goodwin?

Reform goes down the Trump route of trying to delegitimise the election just because they lost. Pathetic.

They warn that it’s going to destroy society, and then lecture us for refusing to “engage” when we don’t rush to integrate it into every aspect of our lives

Not sure if Man United owner Jim Ratcliffe will see this being as he literally migrated to Monaco to avoid paying tax in the UK, but we wanted to put this up outside the stadium anyway…. 📍 Old Trafford, Matt Busby Way
