Can’t wait for the Government to proscribe Israel as a terrorist state.

This letter in The Guardian perfectly sums up the Government’s absurd stance relating to the ongoing protests and its recent proscription of terrorist groups. I take my hat off to Gabriele Hodgson.

What an admirably clear statement from the Jewish Leadership Council, especially when all of those involved must surely have been dealing with so many other urgent challenges in safety, security and grief + shock today before having this further divisive and distracting intervention to address too.

One thing the police don’t need is more power.

Tory peer Ben Houchen calls a Jewish man who's attended pro Palestinian marches every week for the last 2 years a "useful idiot" #bbclaurak

Zack Polanski shames Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood "Shabana Mahmood is being deeply irresponsible" "Conflating protests against a genocide in Gaza and weaponising that against an antisemitic attack on our streets, a terrorist attack, is deeply irresponsible"

David Lammy uses his address at a vigil for the victims of the Manchester synagogue to call on people not to protest over the weekend Lammy is part of a govt thats supporting and assisting the extermination of the Palestinian people & he doesn't want us protesting about that

Yesterday’s terrorist attack was abhorrent. But when Starmer calls for a period of mourning can he also recognise and acknowledge the simultaneous mourning of the death of over 60,000 Palestinians and the destruction of their land? Deaths and destruction that he and his government are complicit in.

Nigel Farage accuses Keir Starmer of "emboldening" anti-semites. This Nigel Farage

This, by @jonathanfreedland.bsky.social in the Guardian, hits the nail square on the head. The same is true of those patriots who have long equated Muslims in this country with Islamic State because they are driven by a hatred of Muslims.

Lovely to see the Ange Postecoglou experiment going so well at Nottingham Florist.

If I’d defrauded the government for just a fraction of £122m I’d expect to go to jail. Michelle Mone and her husband should be locked up.

Galatasaray getting all the decisions Liverpool normally get in the premier league.

Bryson DeChambeau strutting up to the first tee like Billy Big Bollocks with a record of 1 win and 3 defeats. Cut to the 8th hole and he’s already down 4 shots 😂

Same old Geordies Always bottling it.

Newcastle having Howay the Lads on the back of their shirts is the most non league thing I’ve seen since Woking.

I’m not saying that all Newcastle United fans are cunts. But they generally are.

Move over Greil Marcus...

I’m not saying that all Americans are cunts, but the crowd at the Ryder Cup are making me think that they all are. Cunts.

Being especially nice to Siri so that I’m spared when AI takes over the world.

Fair play to the French for locking up Sarkozy. Perhaps we should follow suit. There must be a prison cell capable of holding Blair, Cameron, Johnson, Truss and Starmer.

Brown envelopes stuffed with money. Cream teas. Joanna Lumley.

It seems like I’ve made an effort for #tshirtday but I’ve realised I’ve been wearing this for 3 days and the pits smell like a Ginsters pasty. Do I win a prize?

James Murray, an Oxford educated MP on #r4today promoting nuclear energy, who can’t pronounce the word ‘nuclear’.

25 minutes into the BBC coverage of #tokyo2025 and all they’ve done is chat, show Steve Cram running in a race 40 years ago, and show us a pre-recorded film. Over on TNT Sports they’re actually showing live track events taking place in the stadium. We don’t deserve the BBC.

Proper club, Athletic Bilbao. I hope they beat every other team in this competition.

Suddenly "hate speech" is bad. Suddenly "dehumanizing" people is bad. Suddenly "cancel culture" is good. Suddenly words have consequences. The modern American right in 2025, folks.

So, Nick Robinson on #r4today refers numerous times to Charlie Kirk as ‘Charlie’, doesn’t push back against claims Kirk’s assassin was a left wing ideologue, and allows a right wing strategist to denigrate anyone to the left of JD Vance. Balance, I suppose.

It’s a toss up between Bridget Phillipson, who’s a member of Labour Friends of Israel, and Lucy Powell, who’s a member of Labour Friends of Israel.

I think it is always worth mentioning that Melissa Hortman and her husband Mark were killed with their beloved dog Gilbert: www.nytimes.com/2025/06/27/u...

Angela Rayner has basically been shafted by her tax avoidance advisers who have given her wholly inaccurate advice on how to avoid paying her taxes. She should use some of the money she hasn’t paid in tax to sue them.

Liverpool can fuck off as well.

It's a sign of what a massive piece of shit Jimmy Carr is that co-headlining with a sex offender at a comedy festival in Saudi fucking Arabia is not even the worst thing he's done this year. www.thenational.scot/news/2517003...

Yvette Cooper sending hundreds of police officers to arrest pensioners for holding up placards was totally on my Labour government bingo card. Just need Starmer to melt down disabled people’s wheelchairs to make missiles for Israel and I’ll have a full house.

I used to dislike this man. I was wrong. He’s one of the good ones.

Chris Woakes has the look of a man who’s just walked out of the newsagent with a copy of Razzle tucked under his jumper.

Chris Woakes has come in fancy dress as Arnold from 70s sitcom Robin’s Nest.

People that deserve a special place in hell = people that turn up at sporting events with a trumpet.

Forced displacement of a population ✅ Imprisonment of a population ✅ Mass murder ✅ Starvation ✅ Can’t be long before Israel starts building gas chambers.

Wiegman again remaining loyal to players that are past their best. If one of those midfielders dropped into the hole occasionally it might help. Not literally. But then again…..

Every country has a better anthem than God Save the King, but the Italian one is extra special.

Keir Starmer has the energy, style and personality of a local government HR manager.

Lisa Nandy is seriously in the employ of the Israeli state if she thinks the BBC is pro-Palestine. Shameful.

I suppose the government could significantly reduce the crime rate by withdrawing its recently introduced measures seeking to criminalise those peacefully protesting in support of Palestine. And I suppose Farage would be happy as a consequence.

That was simultaneously the best and the worst penalty shootout in history.

I was in the Stadion Letzigrund 12 nights ago watching a similar England performance. Flat, shapeless and inert.

Wiegman has now played Jess Carter in 3 different positions in the back 4 in this tournament just to prove that she’s not good enough in any of them.
