I can’t quite get over the fact that Trump has banned all Brazilians from entering the United States (along with 14 other World Cup Nations) and there is a World Cup in 5 months time … and it’s not a bigger headline in our news 🇬🇧 ⚽️ #FIFA #WorldCup2026 #FIFAWorldCup

Only one person on this train is en route to central London to host the best radio show in the world. And what they they don’t know is that I’m also on here hoping that I’ll make it to Soho radio by 6pm.

Hey Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 folks, am travelling to Miami to probably just the fan zone (or to get shot) but has anyone got any angles on Boston other than hanging about all night before getting an early flight back South? Digs within a reasonable Uber are mental money at present, but flights are reasonable.

A mainstream media that didn't take every opportunity to punch down on cycling like they do would be a good starting point.

Nigel Farage, who has appeared on BBC Question Time 38 times, says the BBC has been insitutionally biased for decades.

He may have a point.

Really- I wasn’t an Obama fan at the time? but how far have values in the US fell since then?
Remember the time Obama personally caught a fainting woman during his speech — rather than just blankly staring like a sociopath?

Character isn't something you tell people about.

It's something you live.
