Brutal offside call from the linesman there against @brackleytownfc.bsky.social

Even this Banbury Utd fan will admit that Brackley were robbed there.

Watched 28 Years Later with my wife - got the end and she said she really liked it but it wasn’t as funny as the first one and it was a real shame the Simon Pegg wasn’t in it.

What did Nigel Farage know about this?

How can #Reform accept such crimes in their senior ranks?

Why is this story not all over the BBC or @skynewsrss.bsky.social ?

We can't let #Putin and #Russia ride rough-shod through our democracy, we need to stand up to treason against the UK.

Bloody Foreigner!

Coming over here, demanding to know what love is!

Great to see @calummillerld.bsky.social on #Newsnight speaking very eloquently about Ed Davey’s BBCTrump boycott over Gaza.

How much better is the #bbc when it remembers to invite LibDems every so often!

Tice on the BBC again!

It’s an absolute disgrace. What has him and Farage got on them?

I have written to Nigel Farage in response to his visit to my constituency of Bicester and Woodstock today.

This photo was taken at about 4am exactly a year ago - sat in Spiceball Sports hall in Banbury waiting on the result to find out if @calummillerld.bsky.social was about to become the first ever Libdem MP for Bicester and Woodstock.

(Spoiler alert: he did!)

Hey BBC QT & Laura Kuenssberg

This graphic may come as a shock to you but please look at it when booking panellists.

People are getting v. bored with you booking the same Tory & Labour drones each week.

Clue - the huge blob of gold are LibDems

Absolutely horrendous news coming out about Diogo Jota and his brother. My heart goes out to his family.

I’ve been absolutely stitched up by the close captions at last night’s exec meeting… 🧸

The chancellor missed the chance to support councils in the spending review this week.

Years of cuts into District & County councils budgets means that services could be affected without urgent action.

Great comments on this from @willforster.bsky.social

Reeves ‘failed’ to back English councils in spending review, MPs warn
Woking MP Will Forster called on the Chancellor to ‘justify’ a ‘lack of investment’ into local government.

Honestly, I don’t think you get to call yourself a British patriot if you’re funded by Russia to espouse distinctly un-British viewpoints.

Whilst all this is going on with Trump and Musk, Tesla has lost 12% of its value today - that loss is approximately worth about US$100bn.

I believe Musk personally owns about 20% of the stock so he personally has lost US$20bn today!
June 5, 2025 at 7:23 PM
Sooo….

Do we think this is real or is Musk just trying to rehabilitate his shattered reputation by pretending he’s had a fallout out with Agent Orange?
June 5, 2025 at 6:16 PM
Not wanting to sound too cynical, but I wonder if it’s worth checking what stocks have been sold this morning, prior to this announcement by friends and family of Donald Trump?

Just the LibDems casually leapfrogging the Tories…

Look out Labour, you’re next! 🔶🍻
