HOLY SHIT!

Come on!

He just takes my breath away. So good

The greatest Mexico v England tweets you will ever read. 😂 As you were.

You couldn't write this stuff... This is what foreign interference looks like. "Tens of thousands have joined pro-Restore Britain Facebook groups being run by people who appear to be based in Pakistan and Bangladesh, an investigation has revealed." www.politicshome.com/news/article...

In front of fans and kids taking photos, a Dallas police officer starts shoving staff members of the Egyptian national team here for the World Cup. At one point, he even reaches for his handcuffs. The video is already being shared internationally by news outlets.

Free speech absolutism going great, we see.

This is the right decision and suspect others will now follow, but very interesting timing on this

Ad Rock: you can disagree with the current All: POPE MCA: but if you push his buttons then you’re a All: DOPE Mike D: ordain yourself a bishop and you’re All: SCHISMATIC Ad Rock: excommunication is All: AUTOMATIC

Brilliant work by @thenerve.news. It's fun watching Farage squirm over whether he's spending his £5m 'gift' on security or Ferraris, but those interviewers *really* need to probe his crypto connection and its influence on Reform policy www.thenerve.news/p/reform-cry...

Fake news and politicised social media is the greatest issue of our time. You wouldn't guess it from how rarely politicians discuss it or are tackled on it.

Ugh

Senegal are smashing this. Now let's have another.

Seems I'm the last to twig that Kathy Burke's here

Right, I've had my 15-minute break. Now bring me more football

I will be blunt, at the point you are asking “but why should Labour MPs stop using a product owned by someone who endorses their own murders?”…you’d think “self-respect” would be on there.

Waving two fingers at all the bluesky doubters now. Yes I mean you. And you!

If the keeper had stopped that it wouldn't even have made his top 10 saves of the night

Oh you doubters. 🤣

The Telegraph has been knocking on the door of White Supremacism for many years now, but it looks like they're now ready to cross the threshold.

STOP BLOODY SAVING STUFF!!

How is it fucking Superman is playing in goal for [checks wiki] Le Havre, who just finished 14th in a one-club league?

Regret to report I *am* gonna be that told-you-so guy.

Oh

Ed Davey, LibDem leader, told PMQs of a British Indian friend told by canvassers for the Reform party that her citizenship should be revoked so she could be deported

They could have spent this segment explaining the energy system to viewers so they could understand that the biggest reason we have such high bills is because gas - the most expensive form of energy - sets the price almost all of the time in the UK. Not plugging things in at the wall.

For all Olise was playing on another planet last night, let's never forget his peak – when he came on at half-time with Palace 3-0 down and lasted just 11 minutes. #bhafc www.bbc.co.uk/sport/footba...

Labour can threaten a £10k charge on migrants and still it’s never enough for the hard right. Perhaps there’s a lesson here? 🤔

The fundamental test of birthright citizenship is this: if someone illegally trafficked people to this country and forced them into bondage and then those people had children, would those children have rights to object to continued servitude? If you answer isn't "yes, they have rights" you lose.

Revealed preferences suggest this 37% drop in small boat nunbers (first two quarters) is treated as ×10-x50 times less newsworthy than a 37% increase has been. Given high salience of the issue, should broadcasters try to check/balance that instinct?

Ben Cullen, a leading figure of the "Raise the Colours" campaign, will stand trial for three separate charges regarding a total of 78 indecent images of children. I have only seen this covered in local newspapers, so far. Grim as it is, it needs wider coverage www.oxfordmail.co.uk/news/2624087...

It is now almost 100% of the time that when I do vox pops in rural America I get asked about Britain supposedly being taken over by Muslims and crushed under the boot of Sharia law. I was just asked suspiciously if I am a Muslim myself when I pushed back

C'est bon

The lad Mbappe looks a bit tasty #hottake

Bloody hell Amad is incredible

This country was one person's vote away this morning from putting any birthright citizen in danger of being deported tomorrow. We are so much closer to the abyss than we think. Man oh man.

*kisses fingers*

It's cynical, but a Burnham administration could bank what's been done already, use it to show it's tough on immigration, but not taint itself with further action of this sort. If it decides to press ahead, it'll make precisely the same mistake Starmer did with similar effect.

This was the biggest judgement call of Badenoch's leadership and she got it badly wrong. She then blamed Labour's refusal to back the war on Muslim voters, "whose political loyalties are swayed by conflicts in the Middle east, not the British national interest". It was a shocking, shameful episode

Well, Julio.

For the first time this World Cup I'm a bit worried about facing Brazil in the qf (if we get there). They've been properly excellent this half

Bonus blocked? No problem. Just call it an "allowance"... United Utilities' CEO was denied a £417,000 bonus following serious pollution incidents. Now she's been handed a new £435,000 annual allowance instead - neatly sidestepping Ofwat's rules on executive bonuses.. 1/2. 🧵

BBC must be thrilled to get Ger v Par, the grey gristle in the delicious-looking Bra v Jpn / NL v Mor sandwich.

New column and, yes, *breaking*, for Eurosport.fr: 50 MEPs send letter to Fifa, supporting the complaint of @fairsq.bsky.social to Fifa's Ethics Committee and asking for an investigation into Gianni Infantino's role in awarding the Fifa Peace Prize to Donald Trump.

For someone who can't run Casemiro sure can jump

Tackling poverty and inequality has been my focus since day 1 as Education Secretary. That's why I've rolled out funded childcare, free breakfast clubs, Best Start Family Hubs, expanded free school meals and scrapped the two child limit. 500,000 children out of poverty.

Nice of The Athletic to have a lead article explaining how extra time works. Can we do the offside law tomorrow?

For too long, an inconsistent licensing system has held back our pubs, clubs, bars and live music venues. Change is finally coming. New laws coming into force today give City Hall a formal say on licensing decisions across the capital. My piece for @lbc.co.uk:

When Nottingham, Exeter, and Glasgow are making cuts, the entire sector is dying. Well done to successive governments for killing one of the few sectors that combines local economies and global influence.
