A friend was just discussing this. Her people worked for the Queen and fought for the resistance. I did not know any of this.

There's nothing holy about writing discrimination into the law.

A tiny but wild snapshot of the current chaos

I got off the train, turned the corner, saw the crowds, the stadium, the families, the smoke, the singing. People on roofs, hanging off of lampposts and traffic lights. Took a breath and burst into tears. Beautiful. #COYS

Whack up the volume. Goosebumps. #COYS

Spurs fans on their way to Bilbao, by any means necessary. The great exodus has begun. Good luck and safe travels to everybody making their way to the game.

Delighted for Crystal Palace and their fans. A very likeable team and one of the most meaningful FA Cup triumphs of this century

Look at this photo on a big screen if you can. Then imagine yourself there enjoying this view with the noise of the wind, a few birds, and nothing else... Magical image from @damianshields.bsky.social :)

RIP. One of the best. When football journalism had some gravitas.

This dog politely asked for a musician's drumstick in the middle of their performance. Always excited to find a fellow stick lover. 12/10

This superfan goes wild when his favorite team scores! 🐾⚽ 🔊 📽️doggig

#OnThisDay 14 May 1938 England players perform their infamous Nazi salute before comfortably beating Germany 6-3 at the Olympiastadion The players were instructed to perform it under diplomatic pressure, but it was propaganda gold for Hitler (who wasn't even there) More in my book bit.ly/3nXk2N2

Starmer's Britain. Not even subtle.

When he became Labour leader, I took Starmer for a cautious, pragmatic, tough-minded person; a man of principle, just not mine. But I was wrong. He's a bullshitter - a weak man, unanchored by a set of beliefs and values, who has already abandoned anything but short-term headline chasing.

As an immigrant, it’s so heartbreaking to feel so unwanted by the authorities of a country I now so lovingly call my home

I remember when politicians were in favour of building thriving universities and a reliable social care system. So glad the political masterminds have straightened out all that nonsense.

Today my thoughts are with the families and friends of the 56 football fans who tragically lost their life in the Bradford City fire disaster, on this day in 1985. Nobody should ever go to a football match and not return home.🙏🏻💔

1. Okay, imma TRY to make this my last one today. But the most dangerous thing that's happened today might be the least talked about. This little shithead is Stephen Miller. He's also behind a lot of what's been happening. He says they're looking into suspending "habeas corpus." Let's discuss 🧵

cn: sui, dwp She did everything "right" here. Informed the DWP of doing permitted work, as they ask. But it was wrongly recorded, she was sanctioned, and it began a spiral where she died malnourished and desperate, with no food in the house. This is what dealing with the DWP does to people.

Excellent summary. All #Labour MPs take note or you won’t be in the HoC for long.

watching the highlights of Inter v Barca on TNT. Suffice to say that the deal that saw live coverage of the game handed to Amazon was not in the best interests of football

It will feel like a monstrous betrayal because it *is* a monstrous betrayal, but at this point what else do you expect from this government. Everything Starmer touches turns to shit and/or makes our lives worse, why would environmental protections be any different?

New: Words & Images: Mike Bayly. Workington AFC's Borough Park. If terraces could talk, they'd speak of ex-boss Bill Shankly or 21000 watching Utd's Busby Babes. With demolition planned + a new ground, a long farewell to football's working class past. www.terraceedition.com/home-haute/t...

Lovely morning for a pack walk earlier before it got too warm. #CroxtethPark #Liverpool #DogsOfBluesky #Husky

Labour will not remove the two-child benefit cap because it wants to reward those in society who like the cruelty implicit in it. Labour's moral bankruptcy is reaching new depths. Its leadership is revealing its callousness. I am sickened by them. www.taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2025/04...
