More true than ever

This is the last thing the BBC needs

FIFA needs to remove the US from the 2026 World Cup.

A wonderful fitting tribute

How Badenoch’s particular form of ‘right wing unpopulism’ somehow manages to combine the least popular parts of Farage’s offer, with the most unsympathetic parts of US Republicanism, in order to present something that appeals to almost nobody in the UK.

A very sad week for music rest in peace Brian Wilson

Been playing ;There's a Riot Going on' today, a wonderful record from one of the greatest, RIP the remarkable Sly Stone.

Sly Stone, the enigmatic leader of the influential 1960s band Sly and the Family Stone that melded pop, funk and rock, has died. He was 82. cnn.it/43BgBBq

I'm sorry, as much as I am enjoying this spat, how can you take seriously someone who spent 100s of millions of dollars electing Trump, then went to work for Trump, left government just days ago praising Trump, and is now calling for Trump's impeachment. Just unserious people.

Trump policies remarkably like those used by 1930s far-right fascist regimes. Trump has defied court orders, detained/deported people without due process, shut govt depts, silenced universities; rewarded sycophants. People persuaded by populist rhetoric. Farage/Reform following in footsteps.

Next time, Ramaphosa should come armed with videos from Jan 6th, George Floyd killing, Trump’s defense of Charlottesville marchers, copies of Trump’s 34 felony convictions, court rulings upholding 2020 election etc. In fact, every foreign visitor shd come prepared with a few tricks up their sleeve.

Why chasing Reform is such a fools errand for Labour and why they risk losing many more voters to other parties as a result

OHH MY WORD, BEN FOAKES!! Foakes takes an incredible one-handed catch to dismiss Tattersall for 8. Yorkshire 87/3 as Bairstow comes to the crease. 🤎 | #SurreyCricket

Love you forever, George Wendt

Today is unfortunately a good reminder of just how depraved many Trump supporters are. It should be the easiest thing in the world to just wish someone well in light of a devastating health diagnosis. That they can't even meet that very low bar says a lot about their character.

The Boss: telling it like it is Springsteen shining a light on the chaos, threats & injustices of the moment with hope and love in his heart for America 🇺🇸

One of the strangest ironies of the last ten years has been watching Britain immersing itself as deeply as ever in memories of WW2 while proudly turning its back on the project that emerged from it.

🚨BREAKING: The new Reform Mayor for Lincolnshire has said she will MEET with a fracking company to discuss extracting gas from the county - claiming it will 'save money for taxpayers.' 92% of Reform's donations come from oil/gas interests. Who else thinks Reform is just a mouthpiece for Big Oil?
