One of the maddest elements of Brexit - and there are *many* - is the rewards that continue to be lavished on the blithering idiots who sold it & continue to be proved wrong about everything every day…

This is the video to share and show anyone who thinks brexit hasn’t been done ‘properly’ yet and going further would be good for this country.

Imagine, given what is happening right now, being "afraid" of getting closer to the only power-centre that has not abandoned reason, democracy, and the rule of law. ~AA

It takes a special kind of person to go to the African continent and show support for someone who was OK with racist and slavery views. The Rwandian children watching is so ironic.

TNT Sport’s records apparently only go back 10 years? Those stripes PFP wears on her road jerseys are from her cyclocross World title then? #TDFF2025 #TDFF25

I love the way UAE Team Emirates just snuck out the news that Tadej Pogačar is going to ride @parisroubaix.bsky.social by adding it to the bottom of a press release about @gentwevelgem.bsky.social. Just to make sure people actually read these things! 😅
