Burnham - "I’ll try and find common ground with anybody… I think Kemi is probably much more capable than some of her predecessors... you’ve got to admire Farage’s communication skills." Notably not mentioning Polanski or Davey. The Labour outreach to the right over the left continues

While the police isn’t yet confirming whether that 43 year old woman was murdered - a post mortem is taking place - a 54 year old man has been arrested, and the police is appealing for doorbell footage. Every day in this place means grief for the women we didn’t even have the chance to know

Another incredible one from @artbutmakeitsports.bsky.social

Took them long enough

When I see behaviour like this, after the final whistle, it makes me concerned for the player's partner. Appalling stuff on a football field too, he and Argentina should not walk away from this scot free

Viva España

Mamdani's critics in one screenshot, lol

If I had £1 for every time I was on the radio or elsewhere discussing the Tates and someone made this exact point, I'd have more than the bus fare home. Because for some people, manipulating, abusing and especially raping women is fine as long as it annoys *checks notes* bourgeois parents.

RIP Jennifer Finch (Bassist for L7) Fuck cancer

Oh my god I love this song

As one of the people she spoke about in the speech, and working for an organisation her team also dragged through the mud during the case, I might have to celebrate this fine evening.

If you pile your furniture in the middle of your living room then set it on fire, you will have the warmest house in your street, for a few hours.

I wrote a piece for @irishnews.com about how much I admire Erling Haaland in the hopes it would get the song out of my head (spoiler: it hasn't). Anyway read it here: www.irishnews.com/opinion/elai...

There has been a lot of discourse recently about how England losing in football leads to an increase in domestic abuse. This is welcome and important. But please don't forget that there is also an increase, albeit smaller, when they win. And it's not exclusive to England.

A defence barrister in Australia was setting out the mitigating factors re his clients guilty plea for raping a 14 year old girl, he said it ‘only’ lasted for 5 minutes. Judge Ryan Haddrick interrupted and ordered the court be silent for 5 minutes, to show just how long it is. Powerful & necessary

“They say their government has foolishly slashed public health resources and now they have parasites in their food supply.”

Folks, is this a headline that makes a person look like the goodie? "Amnesty 'won't survive' Rowling action." [Times Scotland front page]

Coming home is it aye?

Who could have predicted this, apart from all the people who predicted it

Lmao youtu.be/Y_DX22xz3iI?...

Anyway like I was saying I've always been a huge fan of *updates notes* Spain

The working hypothesis is another family annihilation, the second in around a year.

I need people to understand that fascism needs misogyny to survive and builds much of its worldview on that foundation. They believe women are the incubators on legs that are objects either to be used for producing the white babies they want or prevented from producing the babies they don't.

Many asked “but why isn’t the police doing anything” around bonfires and displays of hatred: this is by the Craigyhill bonfire. Two police officers - and a third in the back - are taking a photo with Dee Murray, a leader of the south east Antrim UDA. And they look pretty happy.

RIP to a real one

When I was 5, our house burned down. We lost everything but the clothes on our backs and what we could carry, a family of 7 including a newborn made homeless in the middle of the night. For years I woke up in the night with nightmares about fire. Two houses burned in Carrickfergus last night.

"Suburbs" is an amazingly bad translation of "banlieue" which almost completely fails to capture Mbappé's point here.

You don't have to be a sports fan to appreciate this incredible account. This is brilliant.

Ann Widdecomb was the textbook example of a type of politician who has a particular view of the world formed by religious and class prejudice combined with the belief that her views should be mandated by law. The fact that her type of view WAS mandated for so long is why her intellectual 1/

“Who funds him?” No one funds him! There’s nothing to fund. He just gets the same bin costume out the loft for one evening every 6-12 months.

Glad that this display is being investigated and someone arrested, but I can't be the only one who thinks it disgraceful that no one was held to account last year when the same bonfire set fire to a dinghy with mannequins representing PEOPLE in it. www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/news/norther...

"TheR'eS A REAsoN SpoRts ArE SEGreGateD BY sEx" Yeah, because men couldn't bear to lose to a woman.

I hate promoting my own yapping and shiny head but this was such a good and wide-ranging chat and I really should urge you to listen!

Mbappé is from Cavan pass it on

Yeah, because this place treats the routine violence against women as barely worthy of a raised eyebrow, particularly so when it's sexual violence.

Five times alleged rapist cries

Also, if you boo the manager, he can’t just have you legally declared supporters of terrorism and arrested en masse

Gonna need to see Ronaldo cry immediately.

I wish it was a bit cooler in those world cup games so we could see Ronaldo's tears more clearly against the sweatiness.

Transphobes don't give a damn about fairness to girls & women. They're anti-feminists who literally believe men are just naturally better at... everything.

Only one obvious answer.

Baudrillard spinning in his grave so fast he torpedoes out of the hillside and remains airborne, lasers shooting out of his eyes with such force earth is cleanly cut in two

Saw this ad for a goat on Facebook. It’s perhaps the greatest advert I’ve ever read. It’s just superb.

Me, having learned who Pico Lopes is four weeks ago: There's our fella, the pride of Ireland, winner of the world cup, crown prince of Crumlin, isn't he a testament to Judy and to Carlos as well of course

People have it in their head that abortion seekers are silly young ones. Before we opened up abortion access here in Ireland the majority of abortion seekers going to the UK were already parents and many were over 40.

The two men charged with the murder of Lyra McKee have been found Not Guilty by the Judge. Thoughts with Lyra's family and Sara rn. Justice for Lyra forever.

PSNI Chief Constable Jon Boutcher has now confirmed to the Policing Board the accuracy of the Belfast Telegraph's reporting. At the time, the PSNI said it had no evidence that loyalist paramilitaries were orchestrating last month's race riots. We said they were. 1/2
