Fiona is unbearable. #TheTraitors

Oh fuck off, Fiona. #TheTraitors

The chuntering, bumbling, premature interruptions from Matt Frei is really starting to get on my tits. #C4News

If the UK government had a Culture Secretary, that person would be in a position to take a view about whether child porn on demand was a good thing, or a bad thing. thecritic.co.uk/brin...

This guy is one of a kind. If you don't have him on your radar you should fix that. Instead of gazing with wonder at the denialism five years later, he's warning the polity. Possibly the most valuable news anchor in the country. Kyle Klark at 9News Denver.

If you missed this question to Nigel Farage from The Critic's Rob Hutton – and it was over an hour into the press conference – then it was a particularly good one. The answer was... vague.

Amount of blood US has expended defending Greenland: zero. Amount of blood Denmark has expended defending the US: 43 Danish soldiers gave their lives in Afghanistan, responding to a US appeal under article 5 of NATO. Ogles has no idea about any of this, because he's an incompetent buffoon.

Imagine Keir Starmer gave a speech and said Tunbridge Wells was a shithole. Why do right wing politicians get a free pass on slagging off the country they’re trying to represent?

Lowering the legal blood-alcohol level for drivers sounds like the kind of plan which would infuriate Jeremy Clarkson. Do it. #wato

Why? Key and McCullum have had long enough to prove their abilities. You couldn't wish for a clearer moment to move on. www.bbc.co.uk/sport/cricke...

Forget the misery for a moment and savour Jacob Bethell's glorious maiden first-class ton in the Ashes at the SCG. We'll lose again, but a star is born. #r4today

Unhook ourselves from oil and gas and we unhook ourselves from dependency on dictators, autocrats and expansionist regimes all over the planet. Renewables and other low-carbon energy sources are not just good climate sense. They are also good political sense.

Nice line from #C4News. Greenland has been Danish (since 1721) longer than the United States has existed (1776).

Are there any Chelsea fans who think the appointment of Rosenior is anything but another gigantic contract payout-in-waiting?

No, it was a successful coup. None of the people who led it were punished, and are in fact back in power, rewarded for their efforts to break the system by running it. Donald Trump is currently the dictator he attempted to become 5 years ago, and it’s because nobody treated trying as a crime.

Some ballsy headline from the FT. www.ft.com/content/ad94...

The American people must remain vigilant that those who seek to forget, minimize, or excuse January 6th invite its repetition. On this fifth anniversary, remembrance alone is not enough.

Quite.

BADENOCH: Starmer isn't in the room when the big decisions are made. BLUE ROBBO: He's chairing Europe's coalition of the willing meeting today. BADENOCH: #r4today

Blue Robbo orgasming live on air quoting Thatcher. #r4today

You know you're absolutely fucked when Orla Guerin rocks up in town. #r4today

Tax and benefit measures announced this Parliament so far benefit children the most. This is due to the abolition of the two-child limit, the expansion of Free School Meals to children in families receiving UC in England, and the above-inflation increases to the UC standard allowance.

Dreadfully wooden, daytime TV, Alibi fodder feel about #Lynley. Just makes you crave the Nathaniel Parker-Sharon Small version.

Matt Frei continues to master the art of asking the question his subject has literally just answered. #C4News

When are they arresting Liz Truss? www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Not only should anyone who still has an account on X be barred from here, it should also be an offence punishable by a sharp kick in the bollocks for anyone screengrabbing anything from there and putting it here.

Anyone berating Starmer should spend a day in his shoes. Talk about an impossible job, and Trump has become the ultimate shit sandwich for any PM, especially one shorn of the security of being in the EU. #wato #bbcpm

Another one for the MSM to steer clear of...

Not gonna lie, I love weather like this.

Impressive exhibition of rimming on #PotteryThrowdown *coughs*

Please someone tell me that Shapps and Dorries weren't on a three-person #bbclaurak panel? BBC News' booking team is literally mental. Two more ruinously incompetent charlatans you couldn't wish for.

Ahhh, the first Sunday of the year. The day we all make soup, note our weight and it fully sinks in how irreparably skint we are.

The thing about being a "lifelong advocate of international law" is you have to have the courage to speak up when it’s broken

European weakness on full display by these horribly contorted responses from Merz, Macron and Starmer - neither condoning nor condemning US actions in Venezuela Such weakness only risks making the Europeans more vulnerable (ie Greenland)

Starmer is supposed to be a lawyer. Which bit of international law does kidnapping a head of state from inside their own country by another state fall under? Does this mean Iran can now kidnap Netanyahu without consequence? Or Putin kidnap Zelenskyy? Because this is what Starmer is condoning here.

What a glorious movie #TrainDreams is. A beautiful, painful portrayal of grief. Knockout cameo from Kerry Condon, gorgeous tune from Nick Cave at the end.

Gobsmacked. Starmer has committed electoral suicide.

It is time for countries in the civilised works to boycott the World Cup.

We should boycott the #FIFA World Cup. We really should. Why should any country grant the United States any legitimacy or respect under Trump?

He's going to install Kid Rock.

The main lesson from this - don't elect a paedophile felon.

Marco Rubio is reportedly saying Maduro will stand trial in US courts. Which means it’s now the US administration’s position that US courts can hold foreign presidents, but not the US president, accountable for crimes.

A very embarrassing moment for the FIFA Peace Prize committee

Find it impossible to watch two minutes of #TheTraitors without wanting to hurl myself out of the window. Everything about it is unbearable.

“It no longer represents the apolitical place for free artistic expression it was founded to be,” says Stephen Schwartz. “There’s no way I would set foot in it now.”

Trumpy Iran expert lauding the importance of BBC Persian in informing the Iranian population while the current administration runs their own PBS, NPR into the ground. Tit. #r4today

Jonny Dymond is SUCH a gigantic girl's blouse. You ever heard an interviewer so ludicrously timid and terrified of offending with every question? #wato
