People think money has ruined football but the sight of a rapist dictator standing next to a corrupt football official in front of a big gold trophy at a competition bankrolled by Saudi Arabia reminds me the game still belongs to us.

Brilliant satirical cover from Private Eye, mocking spineless media organisations and journalists who submit and cower in the face of power 👏

I watched The Substance last night … and have woken up still feeling a bit disturbed! (I guess that’s good for a thriller/horror?!)

Amazing film and idea , I can see why it’s so well reviewed .. but it’s the weirdest thing I’ve seen in a long time !!

Reform MP James McMurdock (won his seat by 98 votes) didn't disclose his conviction for assaulting his partner before the GE

He went on to describe it as a "teenage indiscretion"

The Times now reveals he "kicked his girlfriend" repeatedly

Thoughts?

He had not publicly disclosed the conviction before he was elected as an MP and downplayed the attack as a “teenage indiscretion”.

Wow. Imagine the shock for the Daily Mail when it finds out Tory plans were for fines of £5k - later reduced to £3k - for each missed heat pump sale. What Ed Miliband has done is to reduce that to £500. As @torstenbell.bsky.social says today Headline should read “Miliband slashes Tory boiler tax”

This is something I feel deeply about. It's not just women that suffer, men do too. We need to stop the stigma that men should "just man it up". They deserve to be heard, they have the right to feel and to breakdown... Even our bravest and strongest need help sometimes ❤️ #mensmentalhealth
