FIFA: a rainbow armband is political so that means automatic cards and match bans. Also FIFA: Yes, this banner is fine, all of you go and play in the World Cup final, have fun! Rotten.

TERFs gloating about ruining - Amnesty Girl Guides Women’s Institute Stonewall The Pink Paper 1000s of small business forced to bankrupt themselves changing loos While they’re getting off on destroying our society they want you to think trans folks are the problem.

Can I try to make everyone feel a little better? Only eight teams have won the World Cup, ever, in its nearly century-long history. And England is one of them - and there or thereabouts for some years now. It’ll happen.

Challenge to Labour - stop banning things. If you trust 16 and 17 year olds with the vote then we should trust them as we do adults, if social media is broken for 16 and 17 year olds it's broken for everyone no matter the age, time to regulate. www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

The last IPSOS poll had Reform Reform on 26% nationally. I don't think this stunt is working out.

Just pointing out that Lib Dem rules prohibit campaigning for another party *where the LDs have a candidate*, so if we all wanted to go and campaign for Count Binface that would be totally above board. Believe the same to be true of Labour. Probably also Greens. Anyone fancy a trip to the seaside?

they should just let it be Count Binface vs Farage

Game on, Nige.

With everyone standing aside, the stage is now set.

I don't want anyone to be alarmed but Kemi Badenoch and Andy Burnham are on Reddit and they are having a discussion.

There have been occasions where in political terms it has made sense for the north to say things collectively. Those things are: transport Otherwise yes we’re quite content hating each other

I will be blunt, at the point you are asking “but why should Labour MPs stop using a product owned by someone who endorses their own murders?”…you’d think “self-respect” would be on there.

Oh thank fuck for that

I see that Vance is playing Uno again. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Phone ban, social media ban & curfew, trans bathroom ban, trans youth healthcare ban, repeated protest ban, arrests of peaceful protestors for Palestine. All this government seems able to do is ban, ban, ban. No positive vision of the future, just kneejerk authoritarian crackdowns.

"Racism is WEIRD. Have you tried hobbies?" is a motto for the ages.

Scarborough, yesterday. *credit Fred Brown.

Dear Sheffield Greens, Labour If I have to watch one more TikTok of Joe Otten eating lunch, I'm going to hold you personally responsible. Start approving hot food planning applications today before this escalates to dinner.

I maintain that AI companies have the worst marketing in history. They have promised quite sincerely that their products will make work history. Now we have Anthropic releasing serious heavyweight products, apparently for tasks such as software engineering, called Mythos and Fable.

The government continuing to post on X gives the media all they need to justify continuing to use X posts in news broadcasts. X becomes agenda-setting in the way front pages did even when most people stopped reading newspapers.

Note that UK officials are still actively using this guy’s site.

We can't look away from the images of families fleeing burning houses without calling this out as a pogrom, whipped up by influential actors who care nothing for the people of Belfast: www.irishnews.com/news/norther...

If Musk's actions are so despicable why does @jeremyhuntmp.bsky.social enable him by continuing to post on his site?

Defragging was cool.

If you are an MP dithering over whether to stay on X, consider that its owner is egging on people who want to kill you.

Migrant homes and businesses being set alight by “protestors” in Belfast tonight. Musk has helped start another pogrom in the U.K. Yet still our Gvt won’t leave X.

Could everyone who hasn't yet done a bit about Steven Bartlett drinking two glasses of wine get it out the way before the weekend. I just want my TikTok feed to go back to being a Bartlett free zone, thinking about his inability to have fun is ruining my unproductivity.

🚨 THIS COULD NOT BE MORE IMPORTANT 🚨 One man (a single human being) has decided to tilt this country towards fascism, has the power to do so and the Government is doing nothing. IT WIILL SOON BE TOO LATE

Another day where this advice seems apposite.

Blair is sounding more and more like a politician who would feel more at home within the Conservative Party, with this intervention any influence he had within Labour must now be dead.

Interesting that the idea of another EU referendum is regularly discussed on broascast media as something that would cause division and thus a bad idea. But plans to deport literally millions of people are discussed as administrative questions.

UK is more likely to be tipped into a skip. There is no legal or constitutional rule which requires a general election if a PM is changed mid-term. Since 1974 every UK PM has either entered or left office mid-term (or both). Silly, misleading stuff from a senior politician.

If Andy Burnham has given us nothing else he has created a situation in which Danny Kruger has had to go on TV and defend his candidate claiming he wants to "smell and lick" Carole Vorderman's backside.

6 months ago, right wing imagineers were justifying a weird belief that Starmer would have to call a General Election, because they thought they could win it. Now all they can imagine is losing to Andy Burnham.

I can't believe how many politicians are saying "let's ban trans people from public life, but in a way that is respectful". Are you fucking thick? Who is this for?

There's been a lot of commentary on this from a Labour perspective but this poll clearly shows that the insurgent Green vote is built on sand.

Sheffield-born Helen Sharman became the first Briton to go into space on this day 1991. She was a research chemist working for a confectionery company when she was chosen to participate in a mission to the Soviet space station Mir.

SV would be very convenient for Labour, it would resolve most of the doubt that Burnham might lose Makerfield.

Strange world where a Bulgarian Olivia Rodrigo lookalike singing nonsense saves us from literally weeks of discourse.

You know this is remarkably relatable except I didn't appoint the group of talentless nobodies trying to boot him out if his job, Starmer did.

When is Donny touring this act?

Thank you Shaffaq for standing up for local government!

While we must face up to the fact that the "special relationship" is over. The King giving lectures about democratic norms, executive over reach and architecture in front of the President and Congress feels like something of a diplomatic triumph but actually worth very little, a fitting end.

It’s Terry Pratchett Day! My favourite author, who gave me an escape when I needed it, inspired me to be a better person, and taught me the value of truth, justice, freedom, reasonably priced love, and a hard boiled egg. “When in doubt, choose to live.” 📚💙 #TerryPratchettDay

Humiliating a Labour home secretary with a well timed heckle. Whoever said immigrants aren't integrating into Britain? www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

UK ambassador to Washington told students in February: “I think there is probably one country that has a special relationship with the United States — and that is probably Israel.” www.ft.com/content/d4bf...

I remember chatting to my Dad about a Chamber of Commerce meeting he attended in the 90s. The subject was retail and people's vision for Hull, he envisioned basically what happened primarily by niche and boutique businesses. But the rest of the room was optimistic, the 90s were a different time.
