This should be the biggest story in the country right now. The sitting US President was extorting state lawmakers from his own party by threatening to withhold public money if they didn’t gerrymander for him. I don’t know how else to say it…

Ex-teacher here. Moved to a basic office job this week. The straw that broke the camel's back was a parent of a 15 year old telling me their well behaved princess would never play up in school. Reader, she stabbed me with a pen so hard I needed stitches.

I reckon that #ComboverCaligula should stop listening to the voices in his head. The voices in his head are not hid friends. In fact, in common with everybody else, the think he's a twat.

A woman glides-walks through Bond Street. She has white-blonde hair and wears a long, bright red coat. With a small, almost-smile, she makes sliding, confident, intense eye-contact with everyone and everything in her path. Anyone who has seen Mars Attacks will know exactly what I mean.

We now learn that Fifa had a very specific "ask" in exchange for its "Peace Award" to Trump, with loads of gold trinkets, and that was dismissal of a criminal corruption case against senior Fifa officials. And Trump granted it. Another corrupt bargain, barely noticed (and ignored by US media).

... Imagine explaining to thousands of business why millions of dollars are going to Canada & Mexico instead of them because the country you kowtowed to has effectively banned fans from attending your party. And having to explain that to all your sponsors... [2/2]

Imagine throwing a party, rimming your hosts's squitty ring, giving the whiney baby-man a ludicrous prize you invented to massage his flaccid ego & a few days later the #MangoPissWeasel effctively bans thousands of potential customers [1/2]

Wearing my Ankh Morpork City Watch hoodie with a glass of 'Nightwatchman'. It had to be done. #CWBF #Discworld

Something I learned today: assassinating a president wasn't a federal crime until 2 years after John F Kennedy was assassinated in Dallas.

Who says right wingers are all selfish twats who don't give a shit about anyone else?

A few pics from the Cambridge Winter Beer Festival, including the obligatory Gladys Emmanuel logo. #CWBF

Award news: FIFA awards the #ComboverCaligula it's new art gong, The Runter Prize, for his stunning impression of an easily duped imbecile.

Really odd performance by the officials: not a handball but not a penalty either. 🤨 Still we got the points and that’s what counts. #YNWA

#ComeOnUouRedmen Let’s put the whole Mo thing behind us go for Inter’s throat. #YNWA #JFT97 #FO20

Today is the day that Santa’s reindeer traditionally ramp up their pre-flight preparations in the work’s gym. Training with the 1st team this year are Snotter, Fister & Horny Harold.

I love Cisca! Sky should add her to their team as she’s an utterly brilliant hoot.

One of the best moments after Lando winning the world title was seeming his mum Cisca giving Oscar a massive hug. #F1

Uncomfortable but did what he needed to do . Congratulations to Lando Norris on winning the World Championship. #F1

That was a terrible couple of laps for Lando. He looks in danger of falling behind Charles.

Another defeat for England at the Gabattoir. England have been really poor In both tests and have rightly lost both. #TheAshes

There’s only a handful of European teams who could spunk millions on a back-up for their best striker. I never thought that team would be us. 🤨😡

How to buy yourself a needy malignant narcissist? Just offer him a phony, made up "Peace Prize" & he's all your's!!! No need for a formal ceremony as he'll snatch from the box & put it on all by himself. Both laughably pathetic AND pathetically laughable. 🤡 🫣

Konate is a liability & should be left in no doubt that he’s now playing for a contract extension. And continue like this for the next couple of games & he’ll be benched for the rest of the season so will be watching the World Cup on TV.

From a two goal lead to conceding three to draw. Another, typical, brain-fart from Konate (there’s a reason RM don’t want him). That is on everyone but ultimately it’s on Slot as he picks the team. This simply isn’t good enough. [1/2]

#ComeOnYouRedmen They might have twatted Chelsea but we need to beat Leeds. #YNWA #JFT97 #FO20

Breaking: FIFA announces further prizes: - the Lifetime Honesty Award goes to Boris Johnson - the Shitler Award goes to Nijel Fartage - the Ambassador of the Year Award goes to Mandy Mandelson - the Best Muscovite Award goes to Nathan Gill

I forsee another England batting collapse & a defeat by an innings + 60 runs #TheAshes

Breaking. Liz Truss wins this year's FIFA Prize for Economics.

Four ducks (one golden) and five dropped catches: a poor England are looking at another loss and staring down the barrel of a series whitewash. #TheAshes

Makes you pine for the old-fashioned corruption of Sepp Blatter. Infantino is syphilitic smeghead whose nose is always in search of a dictator’s ringpiece.

What was the point of that shit? The leaders of the 3 host countries drawing a ball from a bowl that only contained the names of their country was a complete waste of time. Infantino’s FIFA makes Sepp Blatter look a model of sanity. #WorldCupDraw

2 in 3 of Nigel Farage’s current and former partners do not speak English as their first language.

Sad to hear that legendary guitarist Steve Cropper, renowned for Booker T & the MGs and the Blue Brothers band, has died. One of the all-time greats. #RIP

Today's @liverpoolecho.co.uk front page

The idea that I would ever work with Tories is absurd. If you don't believe me just ask Lee Anderson, Nadine Dorries, Danny Kruger, Andrea Jenkyns, Jonathan Gullis, Sarah Pochin, Jake Berry, Marco Longhi, Peter Bone...

And, coming into a World Cup year, players like Endo & Chiesa are going to ask for a move as the latter gets a few minutes here & there (big kudos for the block tonight) & the former (Japan’s captain) can’t even get that. And we fucked up by going for a kak forward rather than a top defender. [2/2]

We were fucking lucky to scrounge a point tonight. Sunderland deserved the win & we were kak. Again. Something is seriously wrong and playing like this we’ll be likely be out of the European places come the end of the season. [1/2]

I don’t know which is worse, the lack of aggression, the sloppiness or the gaping spaces we’re leaving that Sunderland are gleefully galloping into. The intensity really needs to dramatically increase in the 2nd half or this will be another 1 in the loss column. 😡 #ComeOnYouRedmen #YNWA

this is literally what the nazis did. the nazis claimed that that 98 percent of prostitution worldwide was controlled by Jews.

#ComeOnYouRedmen Let’s put Sunderland to the sword & add to the tears in the northeast. #YNWA #JFT97 #FO20

I see we’ve reached the “I can’t believe they’re calling the mince pies instead of Christmas pies!” remarkably early this year. Which means the “All the pigs in blankets at [insert supermarket name] are fucking halal! Disgusting!” Is just around the corner.

I sometimes wonder if she's really as stupid as she seems and then she comes out with something like this. So things which didn't exist 2000 years ago are "unchristian". Aeroplanes "unchristian", modern medicine "unchristian", the internet "unchristian, and of course the Tory Party "unchristian".

Ultimately that 1st corner error in Las Vegas hugely impacted’ Lando’s tilt. The subsequent disqualification was a huge blow. Crap decisions today have cost both. It looks unlikely that either will win the title right now. It will take an extraordinary reverse to bring them back into contention.

Congratulations to Max on effectively sealing another title. Commiserations to Lando & Oscar: ultimately a combination of team decisions and stupid errors have ensured they’ll finish behind the defending champion. The only question is which will get the silver & which the bronze.
