Time for UEFA to break with FIFA. They're dragging the reputation of football through the mud. I thought Blatter was corrupt; Johnny Childish is even worse.

Only just learned that "mob" is an abbreviation of the Latin mobile vulgus, "fickle crowd" 😬

Is Trump stuck in 1996 or something?

Trump owned Miss Universe contest in 1996. The winner Miss Venezuela allegedly put on weight so Trump called her Miss Piggy.

Characteristically stupid and dishonest "politics of greed" response from John Redwood here. He's so discredited by his Brexit lies that I'm amazed anyone asks him his opinion

I like the Joyce carol Oates post and it's a shame she rowed back on it by pretending she wasn't referring to Musk specifically.

So we're supposed to believe that Trump wasn't behind January 6th??? This is very sinister. The capture of British media by the far right is one of the more horrifying developments of the last ten years. Lisa Nandy needs to use whatever influence she has to reverse the Tory/Trump bias at the BBC.

Frustrating how much of this asylum hotel report is being framed.

This is absolutely something inherited by Labour from the Tories.

Not only the Tories signing the contracts but the Tories stopping processing asylum claims from irregular arrivals.

Starmer shouts about his mistakes and whispers about his progressive successes. The far left hate mob on bluesky is getting close to why I left twitter. With very different motives, they're taking us down the path to fascism. The left is forever divided which is why the left loses elections

I’ve been saying this for ten years now but possibly not often enough: Ask Them What They Think The Words They’re Using Mean. And then ask them to name the ‘problematic’ people. We had ‘sovereignty’, ‘laws’ & ‘unelected bureaucrats’. The US now has ‘Antifa’, the ‘radical left’ & ‘insurrection’. Ask!

Nigel Farage doesn’t think the Prime Minister should have free speech in this country. But he’ll tell foreigners that yours is somehow under threat from the Prime Minister. He’s a whiny little liar. Always has been. Always will be.

What has Yvette Cooper’s proscription of Palestine Action done to this country?

Beyond absurd. It’s extreme authoritarianism. These police should be arresting rapists & crooks, not neglecting those duties to spend time arresting citizens standing against genocide.

It undermines police and the law.

This is intended to convey the idea of military might, austerity, self sufficiency- the Spartan Mirage.

Sparta also relied on its allies, the Peloponnesian League, to do their fighting and its conquered and enslaved neighbours, the Messenians, to do all their work.

Farages arse served up to him on a silver platter. UK politicians please follow suit, it should be easy
Democrat @raskin.house.gov excoriates Nigel Farage for banning journalists from Reform UK events:

"I'm asking you a direct question. Why do you ban journalists who oppose your views from coming to your events? Why did you tell local government not to do interviews with your local newspaper?"
