At the Tour de France there is a team dedicated to finding explicit road graffiti ahead of the race. Since they don't have time to clean them up, they try to modify them.

Who would have known Argentina would have so much trouble battling a remote Atlantic archipelago?

Dog rescued in Venezuela after 6 days in rubble! Such goodness all around 😍

Anglo Saxon on tour. Face and t-shirt morph into a single shade of pink.....

"we all need a bit of R & R now and again". And I'm on my holidays. But how bad have Rice and Rashford been tonight? Worst halves of football they've ever played I'd guess. Terrible. #EngvDCO #WorldCup

"The average Briton's wealth has fallen by more than a fifth over the past 5 years". If only there were an obvious reason why. I can't think of anything significant happening around 5 years ago that could make Britain so vulnerable. Let's make the person that made Brexit happen our Prime Minister.

Nobody ever likes to see a German loss. Nobody. Ever.

In a hotel room, frantically trying to work out how to turn the air con off. I mean....

Vote Democratic Socialism, health care, social security, child care, education funding, gender and racial equality etc etc and etc.

A friend of mine is an undocumented immigrant and has been hiding at the Great American State Fair bc he knows no one is there.

25-30% of the British public are: Loving being openly racist. And also thinking that they are: Still fighting at the battle of Waterloo. Colonising the world. Winning the World Cup in 1966. Escaping from Colditz Castle. And 70-75% are not. @13sarahmurphy.bsky.social @brexitbin.bsky.social

So it turns out the massive scandal here is that Bridget Phillipson's mum bought a council house for £9k in 1990 and then sold it *33 years* later for £99k. That's the entire story

In Spain today: installation of solar panels above major irrigation channels. Channels of more than 100 kms transport water from dams to farmland. - Reduces evaporation -Provides large agricultural areas with power & supports irrigation -Decreases use of water in food production, doubling the crop.

Decent view from my new local....

Hydration break. #ECUGER #WorldCup2026

I guess the blue eyed blonde Teutonic referee wearing a Germany kit should have been a bit of a clue....

A bit of appropriate half time entertainment for you. Jersey boy Bruce in that stadium covering Tom Waits' epic 'Jersey Girl'. Always plays it at home town gigs. Enjoy. #WorldCup youtu.be/qL1aFFlXn6I?...

What a strike that was!!!!!!! Ecuador break down the door! #WorldCup

I’m not saying the debate in the U.K. has moved to the right, but Ed Miliband is basically seen as Pol Pot for aiming for a climate target first agreed to by…I think Theresa May’s government? Definitely Johnson’s. And this chat is going on during the middle of a record-breaking heatwave

Top deck, front row. Get that steering wheel out!

That'll do...

More than decent red.

Turkish incoming....

Ladies and gentlemen, Willie Nelson! 🎤

Yesterday I repeatedly said I was the most attacked MP in the UK. Which is true if you don't count the two who were killed, or those attacked with a sword or who had their offices set on fire and if you only count 'attacks' with milkshakes or eggs.

Reform UK councillors have introduced a motion to rescind King's Lynn and West Norfolk's climate emergency declaration and deprioritise decarbonisation efforts The council were going to vote on it on Thursday But the meeting has been postponed due to extreme heat

Birthday lunch with boys from the pub today. Pub beers 12pm - restaurant grub 1pm - club Champagne 3pm. Our leader* has confirmed all three have air con. The magnificent seven ride. *doesn't look much like Yul Bryner.

Anthony Gordon struggling today

Hydration break.

Call me old fashioned........ but Christ on a Bike how unbelievably boring is the football?

Can't believe it's been 10 years of being told that you mustn't call ignorant bigots ignorant bigots. You just have to politely live with the mess they've made

Hydration Break

When reality surpasses fiction! Top: fictional forecast for August 2050, broadcast by French TV in 2014 to warn about the consequences of global warming. Bottom: Real French forecast for yesterday, June 22, 2026.

Climate change is making some historic vineyards unusable. Between torrential rains and recurring droughts, the south-facing slopes are too exposed to extreme conditions. Winegrowers are seeking out the north-facing slopes, and moving uphill.The transhumance is underway....

EU referendum anniversary tomorrow.

I'm in Bromley and the storm we have had for the last hour, my word I have never ever witnessed anything like it. Wind, thunder, lightning and the rain, oh so much rain. I guess we're not in Kansas anymore Toto.

Brexit has prematurely ended EVERY Prime Minister who has tried to champion it or "make it work". It doesn't matter who it is, Tory, Labour, Reform, Boris, Starmer, Burnham, Farage or anyone else - Brexit cannot work. The ONLY way to end this utter madness, is to #RejoinEU

This happened ten years ago today. East Street Wine Co was legally incorporated. It was of course the day before the Brexit Referendum Vote and I thought, well nobody is really mad enough to vote for that are they.....

Just flicking between BBC1 and ITV. Peston is utterly dire. Literally can't watch.

Modern politics: Consumerisation Rights not responsibilities Instant gratification Rolling news over analysis Blame culture Toxic social media Charisma over character Popularity over policy Politics = my life over life experience Disagreeing disagreeably Short-termism Out-dated

Michael Crick spot on in The Times: "But Reform suffers another problem too: the basic lack of talent. There simply aren’t enough high-calibre people with integrity who want to become Reform MPs."
