I had a rare sense of humour failure today. I've been growing a goatee beard for a month or so and someone said today that I look more and more like a Trump supporter each time they see me... fuming! "Oi, wash your mouth out" I blurted, huge apology and acknowledgement that that's not me ensued! 🤣

This is great. He's getting absolutely hammered on this and every answer he invents is worse than the one which preceded it

10 years to the day since the most awful case of self sabotage in centuries of British history. I still remember the devastation I felt on waking up to the news, and couldn't hold back when members of my staff team were celebrating. No surprise it's turned out exactly as we thought, what a calamity.

Red weather warning for heat, almost unheard of until recently but becoming more frequent... but there's no such thing as climate change, obviously. 😏

Happy Father's Day to all who celebrate, and positive thoughts to anyone who finds the day difficult. And happy Summer/Winter Solstice, depending on where you are in the world.

Extreme racist dog whistling has profound and devastating consequences... but those who do it know exactly what they're doing. It's sickening. My thoughts are with the victims, and the Muslim community in Edinburgh and around the country.

I just saw an interview with a US football fan excited before their match with Australia. He seemed knowledgeable and decent, but then said that it was great that the WC is being played in the greatest country in the world. Does anyone believe that right now, or is it just verbal diarrhoea?

I wouldn't blame the EU for being really wary about allowing us back in, but I genuinely think unity is strength now more than ever. It shows how disastrous Brexit has been that all but the diehard Brexiteers and those with vested interests are acknowledging the reality of the situation.

GOOD MORNING. Andy Burnham has triumphed in Makerfield. Nigel Farage has been brutally humiliated. The sun is shining and the world is a beautiful place iandunt.substack.com/p/triumph-in...

It sounds like the Obama Center (sic) opening was as incredibly healthy, dignified, and positive as you would imagine it to be. I look forward to waking up to news of the pathetic rant of the current President in response. Obama is everything that Trump could never be, and it burns him up.

The Chinese Support VAR obviously isn't happy! 🤣

This is horrific, and as it doesn't get said enough: DV also increases when England *win* "While football does not cause domestic abuse, existing abuse can intensify around tournaments. Research showed cases of domestic abuse increased by 38% when England lost a match and 26% when they won or drew"

Well that's a completely normal and healthy outlook 😏. Domestic violence is abhorrent, the fact that it's directly related to football results is a national disgrace, and the blandishments of a Reform MP are entirely predictable... but then they wouldn't want to offend their base. 😏

I'm sure it's no surprise to us, but well done to Byline Times yet again for doing the digging where the MSM refuses to look. Tufton Street is funded from abroad, we're under attack from malevolent forces who want to do yet more and worse damage to our country. Ignoring the threat is not an option.

Good, the traitorous weasel. I hope the authorities throw the book at him (for once).

I think the reason behind Obama day is really petty... and I'm here for it. Happy Obama day! 😁

The dignity of the office of the President of the USA...🤣

Love this... what's the odds on it being ignored in all the Sunday discussion programmes? 😏

Congratulations to Elon on becoming the world’s first trillionaire from London 🔥

There shouldn't be any billionaires. The fact that there's a trillionaire (ignoring how disgusting a person he is) is a huge indictment of the global economic system... and a huge factor in the situation we're in where people can't afford basic staples that should be universal.

Been playing walking football for a while now, with people who were strangers but I've got to know a little bit. I was a bit wary of a few of them but we were talking about WC today and I couldn't help saying I was pleased Mex and Can booed the US flag. The outpouring of agreement warmed my heart!

Well that's another series of Taskmaster finished, and what a treat it was. I thought they were a great bunch, and only 15 points between first and last. The cast for the next series looks terrific as well, I've been wanting Richard Ayoade on the programme for ages! 😁

Fuck off. Just fuck right off. All these fascist pieces of shit stirring up violence and fomenting civil war over here by lying to and manipulating the gullible just sicken me. Leave us alone you poisonous, racist, misanthropes. 🖕😡🖕

100%, and hand in hand with that is the necessity to identify and challenge all hostile foreign individuals and agencies that are fomenting division in our country.

Honestly (and I know I'm a broken record), FIFA is a contemptible organisation.

NFL wife? NFL wife? She's a sporting legend. What is it about America that enables so many aspects of its society to routinely downplay, ignore, or denigrate the achievements of women? It's bizarre, disgusting, and profoundly unhealthy.

It's been the case for decades, FIFA has been and continues to be a dreadful combination of both institutionally corrupt and institutionally cowardly. It's a continuing scandal that such a dreadful organisation is the guardian of the world game.

The slowest of slow hand claps 😡 👏 👏 👏 I'll never forgive Brexiteers.

Absolutely disgusting, yesterday it was the Somali referee being denied entry and now this. Where's the response from FIFA? 🦗 🦗 🦗 english.alarabiya.net/sports/2026/...

I'm with Ian on this... but I am thankful that just when most needed a Pope appears on the scene who is prepared to say what needs to be said and won't be cowed by global bullies and parasites. Thanks Leo. 👊

This... this is the attitude that's needed. Brilliant from the Ranger. 👏😁

These people have no shame, using an occasion as sombre and important as this, an occasion that was so important in the fight against fascism, to spew fascist tropes. Hegseth and his bigoted colleagues sicken me.

The dam is bursting, the pressure on the wrong 'un formerly known as (a) Prince is rising, and things won't get any easier for him. Hope he's sweating now! BBC News - Andrew was sub-letting Royal Lodge cottages, NAO report reveals - BBC News www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Ha! 😆

This would be an outrageous invasion of privacy in any situation but is this...is this creeping eugenics? 🤔

Please see this place of splendor if you can.

This is good, call him out. Musk has had EVERYTHING his own way for so long, and he's used it to peddle division and intolerance. France is leading the way, it's up to the rest of the world to follow suit and this is a start. Well done on this KS!

The state of our MSM, what a disgrace! 😡

I loathe Farage with an intensity that grows by the day, and it utterly disgusts me how the MSM normalises his racism and ignores his traitorous grifting. What a contemptible, dangerous creep.

It's about time, Palantir is a global threat. Good luck to the MPs, and hopefully other countries will look to kick Palantir out of their systems too.

What Reform did today was an incitement to rioting and an insult to a grieving family. This bloke should have hung his goddamn head in shame.

People don't want AI forced on them. DuckDuckGo lets you choose. The result? Since Google's AI overhaul, our U.S. installs peaked yesterday at 76% above the pre-announcement average, and we broke our single-day search record. 🔥 It's not a blip, it's a movement. Fire Google.

Bloody brilliant news, I hope other national associations join the complaint. Drain the swamp, let's have effective and positive governance of the world game (for once).

These people are insane, and those who normalise or accept things like this are doing their country a huge disservice.

Happy Pride Month to all who celebrate. It's a shame that this even needs to exist (equality should be a given), but it provides a great opportunity to celebrate incredible creativity, activism, and culture... and it pisses off all the right people! 👊🙂

There should be something to celebrate the 250th anniversary and flag up the threat to the future of the country, shouldn't there? Have a Live Aid type event, but instead of raising money it should celebrate and defend democracy and educate the ignorant. Surely the lineup would be spectacular.

Sickening, utterly disgusting and dreadful. It feels like there is, and has always been, a global pandemic of abuse of every type against women. Then look at the plots against voting and abortion rights. How can any women trust any of us males? 💔

This should be massive news... watch this space! 🍿🙂🍿

Came across this path today. It reminded me of a wonderful friend who passed away so young. Emma was the most purple person I ever met. I had my music on shuffle and just as I found the path "Where Is My Mind" by Pixies came on... one of her favourite songs. It was like she was there with me. 🙂💜
