Sorry @FIFAcom This @FIFAWorldCup has been awful so far. I’ve watched world cups since 1970. This is the worst start ever: like watching English division 3 games. This is meant 2 B world class. It’s not. Oh,your dishonest attendance figures, pricing & US host visa rules are vile.

How a human being can become horribly rich and repulsively horrible at the same time. Congratulations @elonmusk- your reputation & your place in history is secure. theguardian.com/business/liv…

Disgusting intolerance in East Belfast by ‘loyalists’ - whatever that means. They give everyone in N. Ireland a bad name. Their hatred should be called out: principally by their friends & families. Targeting Indians & Ukrainians?! Or anyone! Racist bigots. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cevl…

“The club who should have the biggest cause for complaint is Leeds, who have an overall score of -4.
The..club are the only team not to have any kind of officiating mistake go for them.” bbc.co.uk/sport/football/art…

Thrilled that the ghastly @chelseaFC will have nothing in Europe next year and a bad disciplinary record second to none. Simply can’t stand them. theguardian.com/football/202…

I’m a @lufc fan but have always liked West Ham. What must this guy be feeling? Rejected by England (in spite of good performances for them), scoring on the final day yet relegated to face Lincoln City, twice, next season. Or maybe not. Leeds!! Look what Xhaka did for Sunderland!

Only one thing makes Trump‘s latest claim more credible. The fact that he gives Iran its full name. "An agreement has been largely negotiated, subject to finalization between the United States of America, the Islamic Republic of Iran, and the various other Countries, as listed”.

This story is staggering; not just the electoral polling of a violent criminal but the fact that Irish people, who have been immigrants themselves for centuries, should turn against immigrants in a country richer than ever before. theguardian.com/world/2026/m…

Amazing that the @TheTimes prints this as fact. How does it know Trump ever intended to launch new strikes? How did it find out it was a “last minute” cancellation? Basic journalism ignored.

Corruption. Get him for insider trading. Investigate!
Looks like potential insider trading to us. Does this look like insider trading to you?
Over 3,600 stock trades by Trump since Jan. Absolutely unprecedented. This will be investigated.

What a disgusting administration the United States has. What a ghastly President. Bullying & trying to steal from allies who stood by the US after 9/11 & gave lives in support. The US now demands a major role in Greenland. Go to hell. nytimes.com/2026/05/18/world… via @NYTimes

UK Royals appearing ethical. Prince William selling 20% of 1 property “for housing & nature projects”. As one critic says "More houses, more tenants, more income". Perhaps Royals should stop charging taxpayers for using land, eg. army training on Dartmoor. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/ce8p…

Good for @McIlroyRory! About time someone told them to shut up. “McIlroy, not at his best,started to miss fairways.He chipped out of rough & found the bunker..Someone said something that snapped a frayed nerve. A “USA” chant rose and fell. “Shut the f*** up,” he said.” @thetimes

Devastating critique of a nation so nearly broken (which can’t be seen in its wealthier areas) by Fraser Nelson in The Times. I don’t always agree with him but these are facts. Britain is becoming a laughing stock.
Of course Brexit has nothing to do with its many problems……

I’m delighted to think @LiddleRod is gutted by Millwall’s PL playoff exit. I wouldn’t normally gloat but he did call me a sanctimonious prick when I praised the London marathon & the joy it brings. Hope you have a season of misery Rod. Come on @LUFC!

Respectfully Simon, you have no hard evidence for that “furiously excited hatred” in the UK.
I imagine (yes, that’s all it is) that the majority of Brits
A. Condemn & abhor what Netanyahu is doing in Gaza & elsewhere and
B. Condemn & abhor attacks on Jews here.

What's becoming inescapab;y apparent is that violence against Jews generates not sympathy - but the opposite an even more furiously excited hatred - even greater violence; the multiplication of swastika signs; Kristallnacht vandalism and destruction - the targets chosen to give greatest pain - synagogues; schools especially

I’m not even sure I’d use the word ‘proto’. It’s 21st century fascism. It has a twist in every country, as Trump is showing in the US.
This man is a proto fascist, working from the far right playbook we have seen so many times, from the 1930s onwards.

This is the politics of the sewer. @ZiaYusufUK should be ashamed of himself. Reform’s agenda is based on division, hate & revenge. If you vote for them, you vote for this 👇
May 3
Today we announce a new policy:
In order to deport all illegal migrants in Britain, Reform will need to detain tens of thousands at a time.
Migrants will not be able to leave these detention centres, and each will be held there a couple of weeks before being deported.
So here’s our promise:
A Reform government will not put any migrant detention facilities in any constituency with a Reform MP.
Nor will we put them where Reform controls the council.
And of the remaining areas, we will prioritise Green controlled parliamentary constituencies and Green controlled councils to locate the detention centres.
Put simply, if you vote in a Reform council or Reform MP, we guarantee you won’t have a detention centre near you.
If you vote Green, there’s a good chance you will.
This is an important exercise in democratic consent, not just for our mass deportation policy, but for where the detention centres are placed.
Given @ZackPolanski openly advocates for open borders, I look forward to their warm embrace of this policy.
