Have never had so much FOMO in my entire life.
Unforgettable night with the Tartan Army at Fenway Park in Boston. Spoke to police officers, bar staff, security merch sellers who said they'd never seen a set of fans like it 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Some videos of the good-natured mayhem here 👇

The boring thing about this is I do this for every international tournament and it’s only made toxic and weird by the far right. The best thing you can do is associate the flag with this excellent team.
First World Cup in gaff, am I allowed hang an England flag out my window or is some geek with multicoloured hair gonna knock on my door and bollock me?

This is just inaccurate as anyone that's campaigned in the constituency for a minute would tell you.
Support for Reform UK in Makerfield may be stronger than many are willing to admit publicly, writes @timothy_stanley Read his latest column ⤵️ telegraph.co.uk/politics/202…

What is happening?
Why do I keep getting fake ads of Nigel Farage booting a guy on Question Time?!

The Burnham buzz in Makerfield is real. I’ve heard on countless doorsteps: “We didn’t leave Labour, Labour left us.” Some voted Reform just weeks ago, but are backing Andy because they’ve seen what he can do in Manchester, and want him to take that to the country.
Politics isn’t working for places like Makerfield. As Mayor, Andy has shown there is a better way. He’ll do it again.

Makerfield By-Election Update: survation.com/makerfield-by-… Survation conducted a new poll of the Makerfield constituency. Fieldwork was conducted by telephone among 518 adults in the constituency between 26th May and 1st June 2026. A combination of landline and mobile data were used. Methodology Statement Population Sampled: All residents aged 18 living in the Makerfield parliamentary constituency. Total Sample Size: 518 Data Collection Method: Telephone interview. A combination of landline and mobile data were used. Fieldwork Dates: 26th May – 1st June 2026 Data Weighting: Data were weighted to the profile of all adults in Makerfield constituency aged 18 . Data were weighted by age, sex, ward and 2024 General Election vote. Targets for the weighted data were derived from Office for National Statistics data and the results of the 2024 UK General Election. Margin of Error: Because only a sample of the full population was interviewed, all results are subject to a margin of error. For example, in a question where 50% gave a particular answer, with a sample of 518 it is 95% certain that the “true” value would fall within 4.8 percentage points of the sample result. Headline by-election voting intention - Table V2 (likelihood-weighted, undecided/refused removed, no squeeze): Candidate / Party / Vote share Andy Burnham - Labour 49% Robert Kenyon - Reform UK 39% Rebecca Shepherd - Restore Britain 8% Sarah Wakefield - Green Party 2% Jake Austin - Liberal Democrat 1% Michael Winstanley - Conservative 1% Another party <1% Base: likely voters, factored by likelihood to vote, with undecided and refused voters removed Data tables are available here: cdn.survation.com/wp-content…

Black men are at a much higher risk of developing prostate cancer - twice as likely as white men - prostatecanceruk.org/prostat… This is just a pathetic attempt at grievance-baiting from Reform UK.
On the day the whole political establishment claims we do not live in a two tier country, they announce this. Note, the NHS makes NO drugs available exclusively to white people.

Aims to preserve the character of Soho by destroying its character. Right. x.com/lewis_goodall/status/2…
The Soho Society is objecting to *every* new bar/restaurant licence in what is supposed to be the centre of London’s nightlife. More planning/licensing insanity. I asked them to come on my Sunday LBC show: "We will absolutely not be taking questions from journalists". Of course not. theguardian.com/uk-news/2026…

Imagine entering public life for your contribution to it to be this poison that puts your colleagues in actual danger?
Recent events demonstrate why I view the Tory and Labour politicians who created the burning injustice of modern Britain as traitors to their country. A reckoning is coming.
