Former music manager. Had a number one in Latvia. Would have had a number two as well but there was no toilet paper.

There’s a difference between MAGA and normal human beings too.
Megyn Kelly: "I know somebody very close to this case…Jeffrey Epstein, in this person's view, was not a pedophile…He was into the barely legal type, like he liked 15 year old girls…He wasn't into like 8 year olds…There's a difference between a 15 year old and a 5 year old."

Good evening Bluesky,

…You’re an O’Neill drama, you’re Whistler’s mama, you’re camembert…

There were no charts in 1934.

Originally by Paul Whiteman versions include Bing Crosby, Frank Sinatra, Ella Fitzgerald, Barbra Streisand and Michael Buble.

Funny because a few years ago his dad was a ‘Britain hating communist’ and Ed was a ‘self-hating Jew’ and ‘unconsciously antisemitic.’ 🤡🤣
Verdict of one Labour grandee I just bumped into: “Ed Miliband is the person most likely to be the most next Prime Minister”.

It’s worth remembering Joyce committed no war crimes, killed no-one, held no rank or wore no uniform.

He was a broadcaster.

We hanged him anyway.

And we should bring that back.

Every day I thank God I’m an outdated Marxist debating-society crank not serious about winning power.

Look what being clever, sensible, moderate, intelligent, reasonable, pragmatic and adult gets you. 🤡🤣

Surely there’s enough plants in the Labour Party already? 🤔
I think somehow it's going to take a lot more then that.

But yes, that would be welcome.

I stood by you through the genocide, the racism and the bashing of the disabled. But making my Sensible Politics look bad? I simply can't condone this.

Captain Bonespurs clearly never learned the Yanks didn’t show up for two fucking years.

We should have taken Berlin and pushed on to Washington.
President Trump criticises France and others for celebrating remembrance day, saying, "We're the one that won the wars"

Surreal, and so very disrespectful to every person who fought in the wars for the freedoms we all enjoy today

Incredibly, I’ve literally just watched this feature on witchcraft and now here it is being skeeted. 😳

Coincidence?

Or is it?

Why don’t BBC just announce Netenyahu as DG and cut out the middleman?

Unpopular opinion ahoy. (Thread)

We were looking defensively sound until 2 weeks ago and had allowed fewer shots on goal than anyone.

What changed? Perri and Biljol is what changed.

Perri with the ball at his feet is a disaster area and you’ve only got to watch Rodon to see the apprehension.

Ok, if we’re sacking Farke, which manager do we think can…

1) Turn Perri into something other than Mes 2.0?

2) Put ten yards on Bijol’s pace?

3) Get N’Mecha to stay on his feet instead of looking for free kicks he’s never gonna get?

Answers on a signed Jesse Marche training top, please.
