US cops and ICE paramilitary forces cheered by Trump regularly kill Americans so Deranged Donald's regime lecturing Britain is sickening hypocrisy. www.mirror.co.uk/news/us-news...

Important mo when the Commons all-party Science Committee declares Palantir shouldn’t play such a significant role in the UK public sector. The heat is intensifying on Trump tech bro Peter Thiel's Gaza-targeting company. committees.parliament.uk/committee/13...

Farage slips into the gutter to incite race hate, ignoring the pleas of murdered Henry Nowak's dad and family. Watch and listen to the latest episode of @PierceVsMaguire www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ZVD...

Fellow Sunderland fan and fried Colin Randal @salutsunderland.bsky.social expresses perfectly how I feel. I’ll watch and want England to win when the World Cup starts but I care far, far more for the Mackems and suspect millions do for their own team. francesalut.substack.com/p/what-world...

The racism endured by Sunderland's first Black player, Roly Gregoire, is shaming. I remember the abuse from some at the time but as a teenager didn't fully appreciate the hurt. This month we qualified for Europe thanks to many Black and migrant stars. www.bbc.co.uk/sport/footba...

This massacre of medics would be branded terrorism if in Israel by Hezbollah so what is it by Israel in Lebanon? The mass killing of emergency workers in Lebanon and, before that, Gaza is surely another war crime. news.sky.com/video/the-pa...

Five £5m Qs for Nigel Farage Why the secrecy if nothing was wrong? Who are the "four" you claim knew? What was £5m really for 'cause you changed your story? Why hide your supposed legal advice? Where is your Russian hack evidence? www.mirror.co.uk/news/politic...

Woken and Sunderland are in Europe and yesterday at the SoL wasn’t a dream. You might even see a Mackem in Milan.

Andy Burnham enjoyed a bit of luck with his Reform and Green opponents. Are Labour's fortunes about to change? www.mirror.co.uk/news/politic...

No political party should have this man as a candidate if even half the allegations are true. The question is why do Reform attract a relatively higher proportion of this type. Read the @hopenothate report and cringe or scream. hopenothate.org.uk/2026/05/21/r...

Burnham and Labour's make or break Makerfield battle is dissected in this week's @PierceVsMaguire. Enjoy. My bit, anyway. www.youtube.com/watch?v=VgPo...

Burnham needs a new punchline to the old joke about a Blairite, Brownite and Corbynite walking into a pub and the landlord saying, “Hi, Andy”. www.mirror.co.uk/news/politic...

Reindustrialisation, stronger public control of essentials such as energy and water and a huge council house building drive under the slogan “For Us”. Andy Burnham is humming an attractive tune but will face questions about what the lyrics mean. www.mirror.co.uk/news/politic...

UK Eurovision star this year is again a gloriously sarcastic Graham Norton. Loved his “woodwork” chemistry between the Vienna hosts. Back in the day I really enjoyed Terry Wogan but Norton is even better.

If Nigel Farage was judged to have broken Commons rules by keeping secret his £5m bung from a Thai-based cypto tycoon then the huge amount, when Reform would boost the billionaire's fortune, could earn a suspension. Byelection? Parly Standards Commissioner has opened an inquiry

Nigel Farage could have the smile wiped from his face www.mirror.co.uk/news/politic...

Farage is still beatable so Labour must ditch Starmer. The gloves are off in this @PierceVsMaguire election clash special. youtu.be/OY6m84rAQes?...

Farage and Reform are stil beatable but Labour’s doomed if it sticks with Starmer. www.mirror.co.uk/news/politic...

An anti-elite insurgent championing the downtrodden, you say? Moneybags Farage is the head of an exploitative new Hard Right elite, Reform UK his get-rich-quick scam trading as a political party. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Labour is in a death roll but chicken Farage is under pressure too. www.mirror.co.uk/news/politic...

Nelson looks like he has a big pipe in this Norwich statue

What have the Romans ever done for us? Apart from better job laws, higher min wage, reviving NHS, green energy, renationalising rail, childcare, rejecting Trump's Iran war, breakfast clubs, saving steel, recognising Palestine and the Renters' Rights Act. news.sky.com/video/renter...

Going well, this Trump trip by Britain's supposed best diplomat. It's changed precisely zero when the orange maniac is lying before Chas and Cam Windsor are on their flight home. www.mirror.co.uk/news/royals/...

The anti-Semitic stabbing of two men in North London is today's Daily Mirror main story. No wonder so many of Britain's relatively small Jewish community are frightened.

Nigel Farage secretly accepting a FIVE MILLION POUNDS gift from a Thai-based crypto tycoon is one of the biggest political financial scandals of this or any era. Farage, for himself not the many. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Sending a pair of elderly Britons, Charlie and Camilla, to woo orange maniac Donald Trump leaves even veteran republicans like me feeling queasy. And it won't work. www.mirror.co.uk/news/us-news...

Needs more than a revived NHS when grotesque inequalities are why Britain's health is going backwards. Men's healthy life expectancy down to 60.7 years from 62.9 and women's 60.9 from 60.7. UK 20th in 21-country table with only the US worse. www.theguardian.com/society/2026...

So Britons with £££££s may still legally travel to Dignitas in Switzerland with family and friends yet terminally ill without cash are denied the same choice to die with dignity here in Britain We need an assisted death for the unelected, unaccountable House of Lords.

"Unlike Corbyn, for good and ill, he has shown a willingness to change, and even embraced it as a virtue. For Polanski, acting is not lying. The stage is set. Corbynism has found its heir." Who is @ZackPolanski? Ailbhe Rea answers the question. www.newstatesman.com/the-ns-profi...

Today we celebrate a Turkish migrant worker who never set foot in England and in 2026 would probably be barred. Happy St George’s Day

Trumpflation. UK prices up 3.3% in March, a +0.3% rise largely driven by rising fuel prices from Trump's(and Netanyahu's) Iran war. Reminder that Farage and Badenoch backed that crazy war and Starmer didn't.

Unemployment fell...before Trump's Iran war. news.sky.com/story/uk-eco...

Reform is a business profiting Trump mini-me Nigel Farage with a political party attached. www.mirror.co.uk/news/politic...

Will Reform deputy leader Richard Tice now resign over fresh allegations about nudging another £100,000 tax after he demanded Angela Rayner quit over £40,000? Changed his tune. "A long career with multiple businesses is bound to feature some errors." www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

Harry "Mr Mischief" Mountbatten-Windsor's messages with a Daily Mail journalist he insists he didn't know was a journalist are a wincing insight into his(and her) privileged world and could influence the High Court case. Read by @PrivateEyeNews. www.youtube.com/watch?v=yytf...

I adore the knitted hats and scarves put on the Conversation Piece 22 bronze figures by Juan Muñoz in South Shields. Keeps them warm when it’s windy on the seafront.

Call that a ceasefire? Trump lost his war but despite everything Starmer had a good war because he had no war. The latest Pierce Vs Maguire youtu.be/ixSkK-llkH0?...

"Though I am no longer in the spotlight, there’s always the Kevin Maguire column in the New Statesman to factor in to my decision making." Gave it up recently after 21 yrs but would've included @tom_watson locked in his camper van needing the toilet 🙂 tomwatsonofficial.substack.com/p/a-small-in...

What have the Romans ever done for us? Better job rights from today to make work pay and lifting nearly half a million kids out of poverty… labourlist.org/2026/04/empl...

Happy Easter www.google.com/search?q=kif...

Farage and Badenoch deserve to pay a high price for worshipping Trump and backing his Iran war.until it backfired. www.mirror.co.uk/news/politic...

Farage and Reform wasted police time? A Greater Manchester Police investigation found no evidence of any intent to influence or stop any person from voting at the Gorton and Denton by-election.

Migrants are making our saves, tackling, passing and scoring the goals yet a Right-wing co-owner could invite the anti-migrant head of an anti-migrant party to the club? We’re enjoying a great season but this @SunderlandAFC own goal would be stupid. www.itv.com/news/2026-03...

Trumpflation, fossil fools, war, Huw Edwards, that missing mobile and no repairing Bob Monkhouse's bad jokes. Monkhouse said people laughed when he announced he wanted to be a comedian then didn't when he was. The latest Pierce Vs Maguire podcast. www.youtube.com/watch?v=LoIL...

Don't try to out-Reform the Hard Right Reform is the call in a special "Babelfish" paper sent by Labour donor Dale Vince to Starmer, Ministers, MPs and Peers. Babel fish BTW in the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy put into ears would translate languages www.datocms-assets.com/194873/17742...

Yep and couldn't happen to a nicer Hard Right prat. "Matt Goodwin’s intellectual suicide. In his new book, Reform’s in-house academic set out to articulate his ideas. He produced trash." www.newstatesman.com/ideas/2026/0...

Derby day will be tasty on Sunday between Newcastle-Sunderland at St James’ Park but it really was blood and thunder here. The Colosseum is one of the few monuments I’ve visited more stunning inside than outside. Lovely Rome weather anarl.
