There's probably never been a better time to remind you that when David Hockney first took his Mum to California she remarked 'all this lovely weather and nobody puts their washing out'.

Why is the ITV punditry dressed like they’re off to a barbecue at Tony and Carmela’s? #WC2026

The World: we want to watch some football. FIFA: have 14 hours of incomprehensible interpretive performance art first. #WC2026
