As football commentators now seems to focus on hyperbole more than the action, what difference does ‘marginally offside’ to ‘yards offside’ make to whether a goal has been scored? #skysports

Trump: "We have a fool at the Federal Reserve. I mean, Biden reappointed him. It's too bad. You would have thought he wouldn't have done that." (Jerome Powell was appointed by Trump)

How Nigel Farage is walking straight into the Government's trap on its inquiry into foreign financial interference bylinetimes.com/2025/12/17/k...

🔴 Exclusive: Nigel Farage’s £9m Donor Profits From Putin Propaganda Platform While Holding MoD Stake Reform UK’s biggest donor is profiting from ties to a pro-Kremlin platform that hosts a Russian intelligence-backed influence operation. @nafeez.bsky.social bylinetimes.com/2025/12/16/n...

The Trump administration's foreign policy strategy attacks allies including the UK & has been enthusiastically greeted by the Kremlin. Last month, the USA announced a 'peace deal' the Kremlin had written. And in the UK, the media is full of people still wibbling about 'Trump Derangement Syndrome'.

This is so perfect. No one have any doubts at this point about what Elon Musk really represents.

back in 2014 Nigel Farage defended ‘foreigner’ jokes at a Ukip conference but now says the bbc should apologise for shows made 50-odd years ago www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/poli...

Farage has been dismissing evidence of Russian ties to the Salisbury Novichok attack since 2018 🧐

"He so exactly reminds me of the Farage that said those things back then." Peter Ettedgui says he has to switch off the TV when the Reform leader is on because of how much it reminds him of his schooldays.

Nigel Farage used an LBC appearance in September to accuse the Bank of England of being “dinosaurs” for seeking to place restrictions on the use of Stablecoins by crypto firms like Tether. He did not declare that Reform had just received a £9 million donation from one of its biggest investors

Farage had to come out hiding early because Tice tried to defend him earlier & libelled the target of Farage’s vicious anti-semitism. Rarely have two people deserved each other more.

Oh. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Feel like I'm going mad. The Budget's 'headroom' is based on frankly irresponsible and wildly optimistic claims about what Labour will do in the final year of the forecast, and on ignoring a bunch of upward pressures on spending, and the claim is that she was being exaggeratedly *pessimistic*?

I must have missed the wall-to-wall coverage of demands for an investigation into Nigel Farage's lies about being a racist Or about whether he knew Nathan Gill Or about who bought his house in Frinton

‘Getting up at 4am is worth it to hear people like you.’ Caller Ritchie impresses Matthew Wright with his story about overcoming racist beliefs.

🚨 Another one? David Coburn former UKIP leader in Scotland is now named in Nathan Gill’s WhatsApp’s. 🇷🇺 And guess where Coburn lives now? 🇫🇷A Castle in France… You couldn’t make this up. #Brexit #Russia #RejoinEU

Stewart Lee is a hero. www.thenerve.news/p/stewart-le...

All the coverage of Reeves ‘lying’ debagged in a single sentence.

This absurd pardon shows the murderous boat bombings were never about stopping drugs

I preferred it when Rod Stewart sung lovely songs such as ‘Sailing,’ ‘Mull of Kintyre’ and ‘Margaret May.’ Now he’s become all radicalised, wallpapering his rooms in animal skin and sending back his gongs. 😬

Why do you appreciate unions? I’ll start: Weekends off Paid vacations Work breaks Sick leave Paid holidays No child labor Safer working conditions Health care and retirement benefits

How the right-wing newspapers still manage to dictate BBC coverage. Almost all of the Beeb's big post-Budget interview with the Chancellor devoted to asking whether she is a liar. Next to nothing on any of the big measures announced this week www.adambienkov.co.uk/p/the-real-b...

If you look at the ridiculous case studies they dredged up & the desperate attempts to hang Reeves for ‘lying’ about the rationale behind a policy she *did not introduce*, you might work out why right-wing media is straining *not* to talk about the finer detail of her (unremarkable) budget.

Can’t remember budget ‘case studies’ ever being quite so funny. Especially in newspapers that recently anointed Liz Truss a fiscal genius.

There’s currently a group of actors pretending that Boris Johnson was as pure as fresh snow and Rachel Reeves was the lead in @mrrickygervais.bsky.social The Invention of Lying app.thenewworld.co.uk/story/145875...

Every time I hear a trailer for Tom Swarbrick on @lbc.co.uk, my heart sinks that he was deemed an acceptable replacement for the imperious Eddie Mair.

I agree with this piece. I'd also say Labour is in denial about who votes for it these days. Hammering higher earning working age people in favour of pension benefits (who will never vote for them) will not end well for them

Every word.

Lying in politics is wrong and should never be rewarded, says newspaper which pays Boris Johnson £1 million a year to be its star columnist

Save the rich!

Huge respect to the papers for finding both an 88 year old worried about the tax bill on her 6 bedroom Kensington house and a 20 year old fretting about only being able to save £12k a year tax free. Top work all around. These are not easy case studies to find.

If you create two accounts on X, one following flags and truth twisting and contortionists and another following centrist, and centre left figures The platform feeds you the same vulgarity & Britain hating ‘patriots’ you could wish for no matter what @mrjamesob.bsky.social.

We are long past the point where journos - maybe even the ones working for rabidly pro-right wing papers - should be pointing out Nigel Farage is a know-nothing charlatan who hates almost everything about this country

apparently you can't say he flirted with Hitler Youth when he was a schoolboy and reportedly sung Nazi songs, so what about when Nigel Farage was 53 years old and addressed a far-right rally at the invitation of a Nazi minister's granddaughter?
