Great opening ceremony in Mexico for the World Cup but in typical style ITV have totally bollocksed up the coverage. Keane, Neville and Wright sat in Manhattan thousands of miles away. No commentary of the acts we are seeing. Hopeless #WorldCup

Denmark lost more soldiers per capita killed in Afghanistan - supporting the US-led invasion - than any other country. To hear a US Treasury Secretary calling them 'irrelevant' is deeply offensive and nauseating.

Penniless and homeless, Raynor and Moth Winn found fame with The Salt Path: the story of their 630-mile walk to salvation. It became a global bestseller and was adapted into a major film. But we can reveal it wasn’t the whole truth. @chloehadj Read: bit.ly/3GtJXsy

This is a photo of Sir Winston Churchill visiting the White House during the Second World War. He'd have been proud of you today Volodymyr.

An unforgivable act of betrayal of decent, democratic norms. We are entering a very dark period of human history.

Farage will eventually be remembered in Britain with the same fondness we reserve for Oswald Moseley

Shocking hypocrisy from Vance - lecturing Europe on democracy when he serves as vice president to a man who attempted a coup in the US

It makes no difference how politely the person who wishes to compel my speech makes the request. The very making of the request tells me the man in question thinks he has the right to control my language, and thereby, to control me. He is asking me to acquiesce in a lie, to pretend, implicitly, that he and I are the same. It is an act of dominance, which is why the women discussing this with you keep using the word 'demand', as opposed to your preferred 'request'. In the current political climate, any request to use opposite sex pronouns when talking about a trans-identified man carries a threat. It is highly disingenuous to pretend you don't know that many women and girls have been put through absolute hell over the past few years, either for refusing to pretend men can be women, or for hurting an individual trans-identified man's vanity, even unintentionally. I'm assuming that if someone put a gun to your head and told you to hand over all your money you wouldn't much care how sweetly they'd asked. That's where increasing numbers of women are on this issue. They're sick of having a metaphorical gun held to their head, of the ever-present threat of being investigated, reported, harassed, sacked, defamed and dragged into court - simply because they won't pretend men are women. All you've been doing for the past two days is prove exactly how shallow your understanding is, not only of this issue, but of what women have already lost and endured. This makes your patronising 'just be nice, ladies,' lectures even more offensive.

#timesradio Ski Sunday! Such an amazing tune and surely high time the show was resurrected so we can once again cheer on British no-hopers in the downhill and slalom

To our American cousins. I’m sure we could come to an arrangement whereby we rent out King Charles.

really great to speak to @ScullionToni about this ahead of #IWD24 👇
International Women’s Day is great to promote girls in computing science – but I’m worried the subject won't survive. Toni Scullion, founder of a charity aimed at closing the tech gender gap, says addressing pupil equity for the subject is now 'urgent' ⬇️ futurescot.com/international…
