Time for UEFA to break with FIFA. They're dragging the reputation of football through the mud. I thought Blatter was corrupt; Johnny Childish is even worse.

Is Trump stuck in 1996 or something? Trump owned Miss Universe contest in 1996. The winner Miss Venezuela allegedly put on weight so Trump called her Miss Piggy.

So we're supposed to believe that Trump wasn't behind January 6th??? This is very sinister. The capture of British media by the far right is one of the more horrifying developments of the last ten years. Lisa Nandy needs to use whatever influence she has to reverse the Tory/Trump bias at the BBC.

The Jeremy Bamber twist: does Britain’s most notorious murderer finally have an alibi?
This week, audio footage was released by the New Yorker magazine, which seemed to exonerate Bamber, who has been in prison for 40 years. Could this lead to his release?

Frustrating how much of this asylum hotel report is being framed. This is absolutely something inherited by Labour from the Tories. Not only the Tories signing the contracts but the Tories stopping processing asylum claims from irregular arrivals.

Starmer shouts about his mistakes and whispers about his progressive successes. The far left hate mob on bluesky is getting close to why I left twitter. With very different motives, they're taking us down the path to fascism. The left is forever divided which is why the left loses elections

I’ve been saying this for ten years now but possibly not often enough: Ask Them What They Think The Words They’re Using Mean. And then ask them to name the ‘problematic’ people. We had ‘sovereignty’, ‘laws’ & ‘unelected bureaucrats’. The US now has ‘Antifa’, the ‘radical left’ & ‘insurrection’. Ask!

Nigel Farage doesn’t think the Prime Minister should have free speech in this country. But he’ll tell foreigners that yours is somehow under threat from the Prime Minister. He’s a whiny little liar. Always has been. Always will be.

What has Yvette Cooper’s proscription of Palestine Action done to this country? Beyond absurd. It’s extreme authoritarianism. These police should be arresting rapists & crooks, not neglecting those duties to spend time arresting citizens standing against genocide. It undermines police and the law.

The UK spends less on welfare than almost any EU country & yet Labour have allowed for the “scroungers” rhetoric to mask their cruelty. Again. Brits need to learn that they too can have nice things. They just need to stop falling for the most obvious propaganda & stop voting for neoliberals.
