Tbf I don’t have much to add about the family feud. I just think of Beckham cos I’ve always had a soft spot for him. Over the years all I’ve ever read is how genuinely sound he is and what a lovely dad he seems to be so yeah that’s honestly my only takeaway from all this

The USA now ranks in the top 10 countries in the world for State Violence which is the State using violent/fatal force against people who oppose it.
It isn't a safe place, don't visit, certainly not to watch a ball being kicked around or a person sprinting 100m.

2026 may be the start of a new era when deaths outnumber births in the UK
This would be a seismic demographic shift and mean that future population growth was reliant on net internal migration, which the latest data suggest is also plummeting.

Quick reminder that the men who were sent to live in disused army camps at Crowborough amid local protests this week could have been given safe homes in ordinary communities - at over 5x less cost to the taxpayer.

People are done with Labour, nobody wants Tories and that’s why Reform are slipping in the polls, because they’re clearly just new Tories. Lib Dem and Greens are now the two remaining viable options. Lib Dem’s have had a go before but it didn’t end well, so Greens are now the best option for many 👏🏼
