Brilliant! Yates snatches Giro title on stunning penultimate stage - www.bbc.com/sport/cyclin...

Just been chatting to my old pal Robert Jenrick. I’m beginning to believe that the recent publicity might have gone to his head a little bit…🤔

Today proscetors have confrimed 21 charges against 'Andrew and Tristan Tate, including rape, actual bodily harm and human trafficking.' 'Is it time for parliament to question Nigel Farage over his relationship with Tate?'

Interesting and scary

First, a statue of Soviet dictator Joseph Stalin appears in the Moscow Metro. Then a Kremlin adviser says that “from a legal standpoint the USSR still exists.” In Russia the past hangs over the present. My report from Moscow.

And they say the @premierleagueoff.bsky.social dominates the @uefachampions.bsky.social !

Telly Savalas looks at one of his favourite places in the world - Birmingham!

It's the 8th anniversary of this dim-witted classic.

Here are my Tottenham talking points, including what happens next at Spurs, what Postecoglou was set to do today, Daniel Levy's issue, what Postecoglou told his players, how he succeeded at something he thought he'd failed at, Romero's absence and more. football.london/tottenham-ho...

Youth mobility scheme " was backed by almost two thirds of voters (65 per cent) and only opposed by one in five (21 per cent). Even a third of Reform voters were in favour of it." #RejoinEU #brexithasfailed #r4today www.thetimes.com/article/cffa...

Quite the opposite. First brave thing he's done.

The names I associate with the failure that was Brexit Johnson, Farage, Frost Do not let them rewrite history. They are conmen

There is no difference between Brexiters and smarmy gaslight like Jake Richards who cozy up to them. Both are wrecking our country. Whether it is through genuine belief or political cowardice, I neither know nor care any more. #xenophobia #stupidity #RedBrexit

Great news to see some progress on the road to rejoining. #brexitdisaster #r4today #RejoinEU

If this person sat next to you on a bus or train and started ranting about Bruce Springsteen in this way, you would get up and move to a different seat. In the United States, we have him the nuclear codes.

#r4today so many GPs cannot find jobs because of funds shortages at practices. Can't we do more to fix this?

Reform UK's manifesto, if you haven't been completely written off from work they will stop your benefits after 4 months. I expect this will actually impact a lot of people voting Reform. Wake up and realise what you are voting for.

Hey British media, It’s no surprise that if you give Farage the run of the place, he’ll start winning. Time to do your actual jobs and start interrogating him on his Brexit shitshow, his funding, his Trumpiness, his idiotic manifesto, his real plans for the NHS… instead of drumrolling him into No.10

Sounds like a plan👏

‘Labour must start speaking about extent of Brexit damage’ – Andy Burnham www.thelondoneconomic.com/politics/and...

FOR WHOM THE BELL TOLLS!

The same shit, different assholes

The FDA is asking laid-off employees to temporarily return after mass cuts decimated the agency’s ability to penalize stores that sell cigarettes and vapes to minors.

Wow. But also, good!

One man is standing up for the rule of law in Britain. His reward is to be savagely attacked by right wing think tanks, newspapers & politicians. They understand where the battle against populism is taking place. And they've marshalled their forces accordingly. iandunt.substack.com/p/a-good-man...

Checking back on this…

Starmer has said, "Nobody wins from a trade war". So why is he clinging to Brexit, which is basically a trade war fought against ourselves?

Gotta laugh at Brexiteers crowing about the UK only getting 10% tariff. Simply explained…It’s kinda like Uk getting 5 lashes of the whip while Europe gets 10 lashes. But because of the damage from Brexit we’ve already had about 50 lashes. -Emily Maitlis

Labour are now fully signed up to the lie that Brexit enabled Britain to get better treatment during Trump's tariff frenzy. Indeed, they're painting it as a "Brexit dividend". Sad, depressing and infuriating in equal measures! www.theguardian.com/us-news/live...

For Americans who didn’t get the joy of living through the Truss/Kwarteng budget, this is the point where the government starts to call the stock market left-wing and/or woke.

People don't have to stick with bad ideas.

Kemi Badenoch has supported Israel deporting two British MP's saying, "I'm not surprised Labour MP's were removed." How utterly disgraceful.

Been thinking about this Zappa quote a lot lately.

It will probably come as no surprise to anyone to hear Farage’s "biggest rally in history" flopped northeastbylines.co.uk/news/politic...

Rachel Reeves needs help - she sees her only solution as cutting welfare expenditure. But the money could come entirely from those who are well off, or who are straightforwardly wealthy. Only those in the top 10% of income earners would be affected. @richardjmurphy.bsky.social explains....

Elon Musk says Italians should stay in Italy and the Japanese in Japan. Then why the hell is this White European South African in North America?

Blimey. One of Nigel Farage's biggest donors, and the owner of 55 Tufton Street, is helping the Russian military effort www.nytimes.com/2025/03/28/w...

You think the arbitrary arrest of political dissenters cannot happen in the UK? It already does. www.quaker.org.uk/news-and-eve...

There are now just three types of media figures on both sides of the Atlantic: people clear-eyed & honest about the obvious evil of Trump; people explicitly supportive of Trump’s obvious evil & people implicitly supporting Trump’s obvious evil by ‘both sidesing’ every lurch further in to fascism…

Cue Labour with the smorgasbord of excuses why Labour has to pander to a demographically shrinking minority of people who will never vote for them. If only they put half their energy into campaigning to rejoin vs doing nothing.

Brexit costs DOUBLE this 'black hole' that we have to fill. How about we just get rid of Brexit?

Holy shit. Republican Harriet Hagemen got torn apart at a town hall in Wyoming last night. In a state that voted for Trump by 46 points. She tried defending DOGE and it went as well as you’d imagine. “Deport Elon, Deport Elon!” Watch to the end…
