When I was a kid, I loved this film. I wanted to be these guys - smart, funny, clever, RIGHT! Heroes for democracy I see journalists today now and I just think 'why is this bastard lying to me?' Are they big business apparatchiks or just selling their substacks? Hypocrites for vested interests

I find it quite extraordinary how rubbish Trump has been during this whole Iran debacle Isn't the (bullshit) theory of a 'strong man' leading the nation based on the idea he might be borderline competent? Trump is utterly hopeless at everything bar rabble-rousing & then just to the brain-dead base

From now on, any interview with him that doesn’t end like this should shame the interviewer for ever. And yet because he & his backers have corrupted so much of the media, it takes proper courage to do it.

My trolls have yet to come to terms with the fact Russia will never again invade a former colony to our west without knowing the entire country can be heavily bombed in retaliation & we won't be able to stop it. They're not even past the denial stage to consider the implications of this.

On his birthday, remembering James Darren, who played Star Trek: Deep Space Nine's favorite holographic lounge singer, Vic Fontaine. He released an album of songs he'd performed as Vic on DS9 in 1999, his first album after a 20-year break.

From the 1950s to 2010, every Tory Govt dramatically cut defence spending as a share of GDP - and every Labour Govt kept it relatively stable. After 2010, the Tories never hit 2.5% of GDP on defence, leaving Labour to now push spending upwards. Yet to the Right, it's somehow all Labour's fault. 🤔

Spotted at the Bolivia v Scotland match

#bbclaurak Just to be clear Nigel Farage told people to have 'pure,cold rage'. That was an instruction rather than an understanding of what people felt. Understanding people's anger and looking at how we change things is what we want from politicians. Nigel Farage will never be fit to be PM.

Labour under Stamer have already committed £39bn for their Affordable Homes Programme, of which at least 60% is for social rent. Burnham promises nothing new or additional here - just some rearrangement for how the funds are managed.

🇺🇦🇷🇺 Reports indicate that Ukraine has launched drone strikes targeting Crimea and parts of western Russia. Monitoring sources suggest that as many as around 200 drones may have been deployed in the operation.

The 'red lines' aren't red, more pink imo. Starmer has to play the game,in a way which means not giving right wingers any red meat to throw to their supporters, where we move closer to the EU one step at a time until actually joining won't seem such a huge jump.

So sick of incidents like this happening over and over again

We keep trying, it's easier to knit fog 😂

Saw a good comment after England's friendly 'match' against New Zealand. Football is not the national game - 'moaning about football' is

A Barn Owl sized Microraptor dino hunted birds!

Keir Starmer sees it as his duty to deliver the mandate he was given by the British public. No wonder the media and other leaders want him gone. Not one of them knows what ‘duty’ means. I believe it is his duty to stay. So he will.

www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026... The country which has appointed a man who admitted taking part in the violent coup attempt on January 6 to a sensitive defence job has no business lecturing the UK about law and order

Finding the ITV Wprld Cup ads a bit strange. Allen Carr going on about supporting America. I can't believe anyone outside of the country wants Trump's team to win

But your frequent sharing of the positive outcomes and announcements of policies which are slowly improving our lives and reversing the Tory damage is so important to me. I rarely see this information anywhere else and certainly never in the MSM. Keep going - please!

Only presenter that calls their shit out... We are descending into Nazism

Why the hell are they filling minutes of the 10 o’clock news with JD Vance’s bullshit views about Henry Nowak?! And then of course sign off the segment with a reminder that the family asked that none of this kind of bullshit happen. Just look at yourselves ffs

@januskr.bsky.social fellow spurs fan

Good stuff share.google/hBiRxeRjAgsq...

The only person in public life (as opposed to members of my family/ex-partners) that I feel more disappointed in than Tony Blair is Sol Campbell This real bottom of the barrel stuff

Anthony Head was an Ambassador for Battersea Dogs and Cats home for more than two decades. Thanks for everything Tony x

Any one else find Burnham's attempts at a coup totally demoralising? At a time when we should be celebrating the successes Labour ARE having, because they ARE making a positive difference, he charges in, disrupting everything (in a bad way) and makes you think: why fucking bother at all.

At the risk of repeating myself, yet again lol, Starmer always plays the long game. It's something that's kind of died out in UK politics which is why his opponents struggle to deal with it. Burnham is just the latest in a long line of self publicising political 'personalities '.

You don't need to listen. I'll just reiterate the point that there is no "two tier justice system" or at least not the one Farage, Vance, Musk and Tommy Robinson would have you believe. And the reason this tragic story is headline news is because it's so horrific and unusual. 1/2

So Burnham’s plan for bringing utilities under public control is …. the same as Starmer’s which is already working. Is it just “Trust me” the man who - manufactured a by election in order to try to bring down a Labour PM - will resign Mayorality of Manchester for Reform to win.

While I am pleased that an older manager like Martin O'Neill has secured the Celtic job (who can really complain about a guy who did the double) I hope this has nothing with 'fan group protests' against Robbie Keane for having worked in Israel. Where's football going if that's right? Purity checks?

Sad news about Anthony Head, Giles in Buffy the Vampire Slayer Bad recent run for the show's stars - Dawn, Zander now him Loved that show

I find it profoundly disconcerting that racist comments that would have been unthinkable fifteen years ago are now common currency online &, horribly, from the mouths of political leaders Old ideas of service, benefitting all & fairness have become vilified in politics Starmer...that's it

What Reform have successfully done is to make the floor of open racism in England much higher than I have seen it in several years. I don’t know what their peak will be but they have normalised something that I haven’t seen here since the mid-1990s, and that is already dangerous enough.

Nigel Farage's refusal to condemn the violence and thuggery we've seen in recent days is revealing. When someone shows you who they are, believe them.

We live in a country where 40per cent of people don’t vote and a minority of hooligans and useful idiots stirred up by a few self serving politicians cause trouble. Am not sure that it’s Armageddon. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

I liked him as Mayor of Manchester, I’ll be voting against him in a leadership contest

He reminds me of the older politicians decades ago, of both political parties. Basically decent, batting for their politics and party, but they had the best interests of the nation at heart, not private big money and corrupt individuals.

Starmer is actually a bloody decent guy and that is extremely rare at the top of British politics.

Now Burnham has stated he's going to run for PM if wins the by-election, I am put in mind of the Germans putting Lenin in a sealed train to get him to Russia & disrupt the war effort in WW1 The Reform candidate's idiocy makes sense in that context Reform wants Burnham to win; they want him as PM

Watching the England v New Zealand footy friendly is going to be tough as all I'll be thinking is 'for pity's sake, don't get injured Harry.' Without Kane, we don't have a chance

This is exactly who Nigel Farage is.

Since I was on here, Spurs didn't get relegated. I am appropriately happy Looking forward to better days #COYS

Young men are the second most left leaning social group in this country after young women!Your base is racist pensioners! Incredibly revealing that they assume people can only radicalise right and also how they are now just implicitly leaning on the idea young men are inherently violent.

Imagine if you had a (e.g.) Belgian national living in Clapham, taking £5m secret bribes, neglecting his official job, refusing to answer questions from the authorities, and regularly agitating for race riots. He'd be in prison, right? Or thrown out of the country. Nigel Farage would insist on it.
