A decade ago the UK was a global leader in LGBTI rights but the rapid decline since then is now a source of international shame www.ilga-europe.org/press-releas...

Very much looking forward to seeing this live in Hamburg next month. www.theguardian.com/music/2025/m...

Toughening migration rules doesn’t challenge Reform. It validates them.

Labour has a whopping great majority and four years left to turn this country around. They should be setting the agenda, not chasing about trying to placate voters of a party with five MPs who will never vote for them anyway. It's not only disappointing... it's embarrassing

This El Classico is crazy. 33 minutes in and Barça have come back to lead 3-2 after being 2 goals down. Very entertaining. #ElClassico

Horrendous. www.theguardian.com/world/live/2...

Valiant effort by the #Rovers but couldn’t quite do enough to grab the win. Tough end to the season.

Dreadful miss by Cannon. #Rovers still in. Come on you Blues!

Gah! #Rovers lose their lead. It was fun for 10 minutes. Come on - let’s bounce back and get back in front.

Ohashi! #Rovers take the lead with a slight deflection. Lovely move.

#Rovers still in the chase based on results elsewhere. I thought there was a decent penalty shout for a foul on Cantwell but there’s not much in it. Sheff Utd look good in possession.

That should’ve been a pen. Cantwell was fouled there, the defender was nowhere near the ball. #Rovers

Watford to make official complaint against Rovers skipper, says Cleverley

#Rovers have suddenly remembered how to win. Somehow they are still in with a chance to grab a playoff spot. All to play for next week.

Another well worked move and Dolan taps in a Cantwell cross. Good stuff. Come on #Rovers

Superb team goal on the break with Cantwell half volleying in Yuki’s chipped cross. Lovely stuff. #Rovers

#Rovers hit the bar from Batth. He was unmarked and should’ve hit the target.

How Louza is not booked for kicking the ball away is beyond me. The ref has been very quick to card players so far. #Rovers

#Rovers fall behind from a header. Brittain attempted to clear off the line but the ball was well over. Hopefully, this wakes them up and they start to play.

Not much to talk about in that half. #Rovers had a goal disallowed and there have been a few yellow cards but neither keeper has been tested.

Someone is going to get themselves sent off here, but seemingly not Abankwah… #Rovers

#Rovers grind out a victory with their only shot on target. Sunderland’s finishing was poor and didn’t really test Toth at all. A third straight victory.

#Rovers haven’t got going in the second half and are struggling to do anything other than defend.

#Rovers winning away. It feels very much an end of season game with a very subdued crowd.

Dolan! Great #Rovers move and an assist for Woodrow. That was their first shot!

Popes are chosen by God, making them the ultimate Dei hire

Seems like a good day to remind everyone that Auschwitz — a complex of over 40 concentration and extermination camps — was not located in Nazi Germany either.

#Rovers get the win. They worked very hard, particularly after the sending off. First win for Ismaël.

Luton hit the bar again. Toth was beaten. #Rovers hanging on a bit with the Hatters having a lot of the ball.

Nine minutes? #Rovers

Getting a bit nervy after a great shot by Luton crashes off the underside of the bar. #Rovers holding on.

Montgomery sent off for #Rovers. Over half an hour to play. They don’t like to make things easy…

First shot on target and Ohashi flicks it past the keeper to take the lead. I think that’s the first time #Rovers have led since Isnaël came in.

#Rovers level at half time in a very poor game. They’ve only managed one pff target shot. Not a game for fans of entertainment.

Plea to put walking writer Wainwright's birthplace on local list

The simple truth is that Trump believes that, if we send money to a county in exchange for stuff, we've just lost because now they have our money
