@mpaulmcnamara.bsky.social Get them!

Apparently he spent 15 minutes this morning finding this skeet to dunk on, because it's been annoying him for 8 months

He's gone for a shower. He doesn't have a radio in the bathroom. What are the odds he brings his phone in with him and gets it wet?

www.theguardian.com/world/2026/m... What a piece for the day after Nakba Day

Yes, she wanted to target Jews and Muslims. And that’s very important to point out as you say.

Also worth noting that the attacker was an equal opportunities hater. Racism is racism, there's no good kind of hate. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

There were never queues like this at 03.00 when I used to frequent here as a student (30 years ago or thereabouts)

These people are heroes. They are there knowing they will face violence for being there.

To my shock and horror @mpaulmcnamara.bsky.social had no idea what this was about "It looks like Latin?" He's now been forced to watch that clip from Two Cathedrals and had a brief lesson on John Hoynes. How did I marry someone who has never watched The West Wing???

Look at this @groda.eu Won't be long now until midsummer is behind us and the nights are drawing in again

In case anyone missed it, in lieu of showing the Eurovision this year, the Irish national broadcaster is playing the Eurovision themed episode of Fr Ted, and one of the writers of that show is having conniptions about it.

If you check the forecast, and it says "thunder storms" , and you still decide to head to the shop to get "better broccoli" for dinner, without your phone, make sure you have an idiot husband who will drive around the streets looking for you to rescue you from your own stupidity.

He looks like he’s been coaxed out of his shell by a lettuce leaf.

Let me get this straight, Streeting is besties with Mandelson (patient zero in the Labour leadership issue) but he bullies trans kids, so he's the Daily Mail's preferred candidate for Labour leader, which means the BBC talk about him as the one to beat?

In order to remove a Prime Minister the cabinet must send a parsnip to the monarch unless the First Lord of the Treasury is boating with the Third Scion of Manchester in which case an orphan must be embarrassed on Leicester Square. These days a symbolic orphan is employed.

Sky News (@news.sky.com)’s Beth Rigby says UK Cabinet ministers are set to start moving against Keir Starmer tomorrow, telling the PM “the game is up” The writers of United Kingdom are just replaying the hits at this stage from the classic Season 2021

BTW, a note for UK politics from Ireland: lads, if you can’t run a heave, don’t even think you can run a government, because the heave is the easy bit.

My “the golden false idol I’m worshipping is not a calf” t-shirt has people asking a lot of questions already answered by my shirt.

Surprised and delighted to see peonies at the market this morning

It's concluded?????!

Do we start with discussing the legality of the war or discussing the legal status of UNCLOS on States which haven't ratified it?

I just texted himself 🎶 Bukayo Saka, running down the wing Saka, hear the Arsenal sing... 🎶 I stop quoting the lyrics at that point because he has me absolutely terrified of being accused of jinxing their season

It’s Arsenal’s to bottle now.

He's even better company this evening than he was this morning. Whether he survives the rest of the evening is now dependent upon 11 men in blue in Liverpool.

So, Whiskey Pete's current position is that they spent $25bn pointlessly bombing Iran, killing scores incl kids, and are now going to launch an indefinite blockade plunging the world into crisis, including potentially famines, to get back to where Obama had them pre Trump? Have I got this right?

Those aren't his real hands, no bruising or make-up

The husband is suggesting that there may not be the same stampede for tickets for Suede & the Manics (for us) as there was for Taylor Swift or Olivia Rodrigo (for the now young adult). He's planning on logging in 5 min before the sale starts #PrayForPaul

How many times have we actually seen Trump read direct from a script completely live? You'd be forgiven for asking whether a man with a lack of basic reading comprehension might spend ten years masking this by going so wildly off script that monologues about sharks and Hannibal Lecter are the norm.

Americans giving a standing ovation to a British king lecturing them about democracy, 14/10

This is a variant of "Hormuz is open, only the Iranians keep shooting at the ships scaring them off"?

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) has committed more targeted killings of journalists than any other government’s military since the CPJ began documenting them in 1992.

Start your Friday with this happy little thread

Does he think he needs to make bribery and corruption easier than the Supreme Court has already made it?

John Delaney could never. www.theguardian.com/football/202...

Pope Leo has lost the Protestants, I repeat Pope Leo has lost the Protestants, this is unpreced— <wait my producer is just whispering something in my ear> Apparently this is precedented

www.theguardian.com/world/2026/a... Did I miss the story about Israeli soldiers being jailed for killing a Lebanese priest, Fr Pierre al-Rahi (or indeed anyone else for that matter)?

I cannot think of anyone less suited to being a whale than Timmy.

A new song in the encore when you haven't played Curse Curse, Laid or She's a Star? The average attendee is late 40s, it's approaching our bed time. Come on now Tim....

Surely the Pope will have to reconsider now that he has lost Melanie Phillips www.thetimes.com/article/2123...

Has there been a recent spate of handbag snatching in Vatican City?

Our day trip to Gibraltar has been waylaid by one participant requiring a visa to enter the UK

In fairness. I expected the whole Revelations/antichrist/4 horsemen/angels etc to be more thrilling than stupid, but here we are.

On the topic, do you know how much of a cunt you need to be for me to side with *The Catholic Church* against you?

He really doesn't get much sleep, especially given his age. No wonder he has to power nap during meetings.

the Hungarian super-majority margin is going to be thin enough that it is quite possible that JD Vance going there got enough people to the polls to spite him to make it possible

ORBÁN CONCEDED

Current status of the Strait of Hormuz dispute

Fun fact: the last country to build a monumental arch was North Korea. Kim Il Sung opened the truly ugly monstrosity in Pyongyang in 1982.

Years and years of "what is a woman" discourse only to settle on a definition that includes 15-year-olds.
