More of the same middle aged ranting/dad jokes as on the old place, really, but less rising to the political bait. Springsteen, West Ham, Europe-type stuff. 🇪🇺🇮🇪🇧🇦

It's quite depressing that tributes to Jesse Jackson are already being polluted by the tribute that someone has very obviously written on Trump's behalf as he would have no interest in (and in fact probably knowledge of) him whatsoever. It didn't call him a loser, so clearly he didn't write it.

I love the Summer Olympics but I'm not sure I've ever been quite so into the Winter Games before. Absolutely brilliant stuff.

As a yet to be born child in Peru when this happened, you can imagine how much this affected him. Hannon's such a loon, if he didn't exist no-one would bother to make him up as he's too stupid. Thanks to Bozo the Liar, he has an unelected position of influence on the legislative process for life.

Well that would be the obvious, safe and sensible thing to do. Actions, or in this case inactions, meet consequences. It's not rocket science, is it? www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

It's disgraceful that ICE have their own Olympic skating and hockey competitions. But it makes it all the more satisfying when any other country wins medals in them.

Liz Truss has read all this Epstein Files stuff and it has inspired her to go and be photographed with their main character. That's quite some judgement from the woman who used to be in charge of the country.

The world would be a better place if the rancid oxygen thieves who pretend to be politicians were treated with the contempt they deserve and people with a life experience like Ed Davey were given their attention, power and influence. This is a remarkable, humbling listen. pca.st/episode/e98a...

Good Lord. I assumed this was a joke, but no, he actually said something worse than 'I saw a tired person walk past and I was scared'. Reform actually thought getting him gave their some sort of credibility. These pathetic fools deserve one another. This is the script he's committed to now. Tragic.

Rupert Lowe has launched a new political party, not to be confused with the new political party Rupert Lowe launched in December. Both the House of Commons & Rupert Lowe's own website list Rupert Lowe, elected 18 months ago as a Reform MP, who has since founded two other parties, as an independent.

Far be it from me to make sweeping generalisations about people I've never met, but I'd take a fairly confident punt here about where he stands on flags and roundabouts.

The Dublin Agreement was a huge deterrent. People knew if they arrived in UK & had claimed elsewhere, approved or denied, they would immediately be returned. Now that data sharing is no longer an automatic right. The UK lost access to several shared mechanisms when it left the EU
