Oh, do shut up.
Bellingham - GOAL.
Rashford - GOAL.
Saka - ASSIST.
Bet the far-right are seething.

That Qatar equaliser was a great goal. Switzerland have been less than tepid with their finishing today. #QATSUI

It's rare to see someone in government so constitutionally illiterate. The Privy Council does not choose the Monarch (they're not the Witan), they merely ratify and acclaim the new Monarch. The Monarch becomes monarch the moment of the death of his/her predecessor.

Hi Frances, I know it was 4 yrs ago, but your memory lets you down. You asked to see me on the day that I attended the Privy Council to choose the next King of England.
My minion, as you called her, apologised & offered other dates.
Not a coward, just busy - like many women👑

Worse than Boris. Worse than Corbyn. Genuinely tapped in the head. Genuinely.

"That's not about personal vanity. It's not about stubbornness. It's out of a very deep sense of duty". Come on man...

Not so much a car crash as a slow-motion pile-up.

Perhaps the grimmest part of John Healey’s brutal resignation letter is that defence spending, projected to be 2.6% GDP by 2027, will only reach 2.68% in 2030. A pathetic 0.08% increase over three years after all that Starmer rhetoric about the dangerous times we live in and how UK would lead the way stepping up to the crease. A real leader would have told Reeves to cough up the dosh and ordered Miliband to hand over a big chunk of his net zero budget. But he’s probably too weak to do either.

I know this is going to annoy literally everyone but I'm going to say it anyway:
Whether it's Brixton 1981, London 2011, or Belfast 2026; rioters, looters, and arsonists always try to claim noble political motivations for their thuggery.
But it is always bollocks. The Brixton riots weren't really about 'racism'. The London riots weren't really about 'austerity'. And the Belfast riots aren't really about 'public safety'.
There's a reason this specific kind of lawlessness, thuggery, and arson only takes place in the summer months. Because it's not about politics. It's about adrenaline. It's about fun.
It's a form of grotesque entertainment for a specific type of dimwit with a high propensity to violence.
Don't defend the dimwits who are literally torching their communities for laugh. Who are picking fights as a form of entertainment. Who are no more righteous in their anger than your common or garden playground bully.
Up with this we must not put. From left nor from right. It's the same low IQ, temperamentally violent bullshit every single time.

Sad to see the supposed patriots behaving just like BLM and Antifa agitators.
Burning down your own neighbourhoods achieves what exactly ???

Side note: the order of Prime Ministers going up the stairs is incorrect - it has Henry Campbell-Bannerman following Ramsay MacDonald, when it should have been Baldwin.

Hugh Grant hated this dance scene in Love Actually.
“I saw it in the script and thought ‘I’ll hate doing that’. No Englishman can dance when they’re sober at 8am in the morning.”
He kept saying no, hoping the director would get tired, only to realize it was “a contractual guillotine.”
“But I will give myself this credit…it was my idea to have that secretary lady catch me.”

That Community Note is damning.

We’ve woken up to truly barbaric footage on a street in Belfast. Of a kind you’d think you’d never see in this country.
For years now I’ve urged the police to spell out the basic, sober facts, as they have them, when there are horrors like this.

Reform's campaign against Badenoch this week has been extremely weird. Cunningham and Jenrick attempting to propagate and defend blatant falsehoods represents the kind of gutter politics they (rightly) berate other parties for.

Kemi Badenoch put diversity quotas into British courts.
Justice has to be blind. The moment the Conservatives started filling courtrooms based on race and background rather than ability, they corrupted the entire system. And we are living with the consequences.

The problem with politics is us.
It was clear on QT that Winstanley was the best person to represent Makerfield. Remove the rosettes and it was clear.
But people vote for the rosette and we end up with terrible MPs.

The more Burnham is scrutinised, the worse he comes across. There is no saving the Labour Party at this point.
This interview on @bbcnewsnight with @vicderbyshire is an absolute car crash for Andy Burnham. All over the place. No clue about 'fiscal rules', tetchy, unable to answer basic questions. Why do some people see him as the Messiah who can save Labour?

Reform supporters took issue with Tories saying "Vote Reform, get Labour", because Tories knew that Reform would split the vote. Now, Reform themselves are saying "Vote Restore, get Labour", because they believe that Restore will split the vote in what could be a close result.
In Makerfield, a vote for Restore is a vote for Labour.
That’s not a cliche, it’s a fact.
Vote Restore, get Labour.

The difference between the Conservative and the Reform UK approach on this is stark. Badenoch sounds like a leader. Farage appears primarily interested in furthering his own agenda. The right of British politics is becoming increasingly differentiated.

Today I have met Lucy, Mark and Katie, Henry Nowak’s mother, father and stepmother. Their courage is extraordinary.
They have endured the most appalling loss, it is a life sentence for them.
They have also faced the agonising decision to release the harrowing body-worn camera footage, knowing how painful it would be and how strongly people would react. They did so because they want truth, accountability and change.
They have asked that we work across political parties and religions to rebuild trust in the police. That trust has been broken because of what happened, and I agree with them on that.
We must also be prepared to examine, carefully and seriously, religious practices or exemptions that permit the carrying of dangerous weapons in public, and other activities that are not conducive to the public good. We also need to examine where the law needs to change.
Henry’s family do not want anger to tear communities apart. They are a family who have friends across faith and race, and so did Henry. His family want his memory to help bring our society together.
Everyone knows I have strong views about how we should deal with equality under the law. What the family agreed with me on is that we need to bring common sense back, and that is what we should all be fighting for.
I promised the family that we will work to ensure there is a positive legacy for Henry out of this tragedy.
That is my focus now.

It's a nice enough suit, but the faux-pas are eye-watering:
• Buttoned up both buttons on his jacket
• Buttoned up jacket while wearing a waistcoat
• Tie clip while wearing a waistcoat- the waistcoat does the job
• Do that bloody tie up.
Jun 3
I don’t know who this bloke is, but he looks like he’s stepped straight out of a different era.
The suit. The tie. The moustache. The confidence.
A proper throwback to an England that valued character, individuality and a bit of class. 👏👍✊🇬🇧👌❤️🙏

• The Full Windsor for that shirt is just inappropriate - too large for the collar and no dimple.
• Jacket lapels are too small.

Indeed. Indeed. Indeed. I warned the London media many, many times not to over-rate her, that she was in fact mediocre (as her record governing Scotland and running her party now shows beyond peradventure). But they know nothing of Scotland and fell for her flannel.
No one ever had to treat @NicolaSturgeon as a titan or a sage. And it was a mystery to us up here that so many English journalists continued to do so. Her "true self" was pretty obvious. thetimes.com/comment/columni…
