I'd really be interested in some Argentinian insight into their football team's behaviour after the final whistle last night - what was going on? Seems absolutely psychotic.

Is digital ID really dead, or just going back to being a skunkworks project for the .gov dev team (I hope so)

Marie France and Andy managing a very Blind Date wave on the doorstep there...

Half of all Labour PMs have held office in the last 20 years

Clear assault by the Spaniard's neck on that beautiful Argentinian's hand #WCFinal #SpaArg

Someone wake Trump and tell him the bad news.

Five minutes? Must have missed the bit where a third of the time this half was lost.

German broadcast. Nailed it

Thank God for the vuvuzelas, a few moments' relief.

I thought the BBC had promised not to show this crap

This debases everyone - The White Stripes, the Muppets, *and* Jeremy Corbyn

Right, I'm putting the telly on *now*, you utter, utter freaks

From "the UK isn't Manchester" to "on Monday he's going to discover he's got a foreign policy brief", a lot of people seem to be telling Burnham crashingly obvious things as though they're great insights. #wato

"The Scots are serious people; shucks, even the Welsh can be trusted. Everyone else, we'll have to see: I think we can agree East Anglia's best kept on a short leash."

Do Americans who have fallen in love with football over the last six weeks realise that tonight's the night when, in almost every country of the world, billions of people will gather round their television sets and watch something else entirely?

Badenich says: "I've met Andy Burnham, I like him, he's a nice guy. But he's a people pleaser". Obviously worked on Kemi...

Robert Jenrick tells Nick Robinson he can't think "of a time in his recent political career" that Nigel Farage has said something racist. So Farage is definitely not a racist both publicly and recently, then, thanks for clearing that all the way up, Bob.

What's the issue here? Dragging the US back to the 1970s seems a great plan.

I see Farage has demanded an election... so that's so far three he wants this year...

Lowe Expectations in Great Yarmouth

So – Britain's JFK moment is upon us, yet barely a whisper about it. Remember when Tony Blair was simply *married* to a Catholic? I think the disinterest represents progress, but it's a pretty big moment in British history. #wato

"all will be revealed" isn't quite right is it? And the fourth estate does actually matter. You know, democracy and all that. #wato

Amazing how little discussion there is of the fact the UK is about to get its first Catholic PM; or perhaps, looking the right way through the telescope: amazing how recent it is that the possibility was impossible, or threatened constitutional crisis. #r4today

Chris Philp says it's "deeply deeply repugnant" for a Pakistani minister to imply that a man who spent most of his life in the UK might have been influenced by his environment. If that's "repugnant", what words are left for what this implies about Chris Philp?

put up the licence fee QR code now, you cowards

I'm sorry but the Argentinians are world class footballers not Original Series Klingons could we just have a commentary?

Disgraceful.

The southernmost part of Illinois is South of all of West Virginia. Truly the Lincolnshire of the USA.

Grzegorz Braun really does make Andrzej Lepper seem like a pussycat.

Yet another French sporting inquest incoming 🫤

Hmm I'd take some BTS right now.

Is there a survey anywhere of which broadcasters around the world are showing ads in the hytrocity breaks, and which are showing the halftime show next week?

One balaklava that's not keeping anyone warm

In the world of rolling news and social media it's difficult to know whether "another scandal involving Nigel Farage" is one you've heard before, or not. It would be useful for all news outlets to agree a numbering system. Ordinal's fine for now, though eventually a Dewey Decimal might prove useful.

Gosh. 1.4% of UK adults (80% of whom drink) have alcohol dependence compared to 9.7% (of over 12s!) in the US (where just 50.6% of adults drink regularly): huge incidence in the US. US 178,000 US deaths compared to 9,800 in the UK points closer to a fourfold per-capita difference, but still - huge.

This is rather amazing from Tominey. To start she refuses to agree that we *could* have known pretrial that the nazis were committing genocide: sure, anything convenient to her argument. But then she trots out "we didn't know" - straight out of denialist literature. 6'40" on youtu.be/4hGDoprrmi8?...

Obviously got the windows open in the evenings. House noticeably doesn't fill with insects. Nice and all, but also... Doesn't seem great

Maybe Sinner's cool with them, but I must say I'm not at all a fan of the tartrazine-red curly polyester wigs worn by a couple of his fans.

To truly see just how embarrassing this is, you have to watch - it's with his inflection that Jake loses all dignity he might have possessed. There's not even a hint of contradiction in his voice, you can hear what's left of his backbone ring like jelly.

Worth bearing in mind that Nadhim Zahawi probably *has* a kangaroo court, with heated enclosures.

I get the sense Aaron might (just possibly) have a Type.

"As told to Craig Brown" www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Blaring car horns and fireworks round here. It's a QF lads.

Pigeon. Icon. Steve.

Of course Mitch McConnell isn't* dead: no democracy works like that, even North Korea manages to tell us the swallows wept and the wolves howled their grief quicker than this. *Mitch McConnell may be dead, in which case America is utterly cooked and the frogs in the boiling pot already float arse-up

It seems pretty unfortunate that Ann Widdecombe's death was announced several hours before an idea was given of the circumstances.

Melnichenko a "deeply concerned patriot" please #wato, give it a rest. It's like lionising Rudolf Hess in 1941.

Good to finally see the Orange Order properly celebrating King Billy's crusade against the Derry caliphate. #wato

There's no point since the 90s I wouldn't have said Ann Widdecombe was 15 or 20 years older than my mum. They're the same age‽

Saying climate change is as big or bigger threat than any outside enemy is fine. Continually pretending a question about defence is about the climate is just annoying. #r4today
