People who use "zionist" as an accusation should be made to define what they mean by it.

Good. This match shouldn't be happening. Afghanistan should not be allowed in the tournament, so it's good they're losing.

The last time a clip made me feel this murderous it was the Marsh family singing a little ditty about Gisele Pelicot
Tomorrow's episode of Bold Politics is so so rare in British politics: real people who are unafraid to just be themselves for an hour because they know they don't have to protect any vested interests.

It's time for a clearout of robots in Westminster.

Sorry, this isn’t about Starmer or Mandelson or whatever. It’s just been in my mind.

The more I think about it, the more I’m convinced that pragmatic policy needs to fundamentally reassess our national relationship with drugs of all types.

Dunno why Starmer wants to carry on, really. He's got no big project or direction that would keep him going. Give it up. Go to the pub. That's what I'd do.

It's a finely balanced decision. On the one hand, you have the architect of a strategy that is not working, who could not do this job in opposition *the first time*, and buy the PM breathing space. On the other, moving it would involve admitting that some of the PM's old legal buddies were right.
Is the extraordinary Mandelson scandal the final nail in the coffin that is McSweeney’s time in No10? Labour MPs tells our Tom the PLP “direction of travel” is towards Starmer’s CoS having to go. Even some PM loyalists think Starmer may have to remove his close ally to shore up his own position.
The growing Mandelson scandal has resulted in renewed pressure on the position of Keir Starmer's chief of staff, Morgan McSweeney, who was instrumental in the decision to bring him into government, reports PolHome's Tom Scotson

My youngest is off school feeling rough after he was vaccinated yesterday. Might go ask on twitter if anyone has any idea why...

Incredible contest and the important thing to remember is that it is a chance to laugh at that girlfriend-beating twat Zverev.

On almost everything – fraud, polarisation, radicalisation, misinformation – evidence suggests that over 60s are in much more urgent need of online protection and education than teenagers.

But that issue gets zero political attention, and is a total non-starter. Nothing good will come of it.
This was a minor story on London news this morning - but suspect is a real cautionary (and alarming) tale of an older man getting radicalised online.

The way to act is not by depreciating € to bolster exports, but by using causes behind euro appreciation as alibi to increase joint & several fiscal spending funded by ROW, thus boosting € internationalization & reducing vulnerability to US sanctions and surveillance, you morons.

I think this is the most important article I've written for a while: a trip to Sudan to report on the UN's refugee agency.

Battered by Trump's cuts and western retreat, can humanitarianism survive?

Whisper it, but any Telegraph column that begins with "whisper it" is always bollocks.
Shout it: The Telegraph is a load of joyless, buzzkill wankers.

Really enjoyed the bits of that Robbie Williams album which didn't sound like Britpop.

Probably the best argument that Brexit is a success is because it means that Britain is no longer politically aligned with Orban.
💥Viktor Orbán’s foreign minister Péter Szijjártó says Hungary is BLOCKING a joint EU statement on Greenland.

After years acting as a Trojan horse for Russia and China, Budapest now does the same for Donald Trump.

Meanwhile, Orbán ally Andrej Babiš’s Czech government also refuses to back Denmark...
