Formula One fans. If you want intensive coverage, watch Sky Sports, “Premier league Soccer highlights”. 🙁🤬🤬🤬

The football coverage in today’s Observer: great if you’re not interested in today’s premier league games. The “journalism, consists of a bunch of comments from fans. 😕

That Tory is on BBC PM now. Sheer mediocrity, but he gets away with it thanks to the lazy interviewing techniques being used.

Oh dear! BBC News has a Tory trying to demolish Labour’s deal with the EU. He has the brass neck to complain about the absence of democracy (remember “unelected bureaucrats”?) This guy, defending our “democratic rights” is an unelected member of the House of Lords. They have no shame.

Eddie Howe explains the importance of a well prepared team ready to deal with the early kick off against Chelsea tomorrow. He stresses the importance of the fans being prepared for the early kick off too. He might well be saying “Fans, get out early for a few beers before the match”. 😂⚽️ #nufc

That bloke who’s never off the BBC is being presented to us as someone of Richard Dimbleby’s status. Give over BBC. #VEDAY

An absolute masterclass in how the UK media platforms and normalises far right politics. This is how Farage wins.

I’ve read several reports about the Magic Weekend rugby league at St James’ Park. The record breaking crowd was over 64k. How did they get the additional 12k into the ground? #magicweekend

Council staff. If Reform are now in charge of your council, join a union forthwith. In fact, even if they aren’t in charge, join a union.

Clunky headline, but good news. @nufc

Reform won Runcorn by 6 votes. GB News can claim the credit for this. A GB News presenter has won a seat for Reform. We now have Fox News style bias, influencing our politics in a very dangerous way. Ofcom sit back and let it happen. They’re laughing at us. Please fix this Labour. @Lisanandy

@bbcr4today can barely contain itself, but it’s a by election and we’re over 4 years away from a general election. These things happen to every government and “the end of the two party system” is something we’ve been through before. It’s no big deal. #Runcorn

Good grief, today’s digital Observer is a shocker. Teething troubles are to be expected, but no football match reports? No results? A single report covering all premier league games + Celtic? #nufc It’s not just the sport either. 🙁

This is indefensible. BBC reporting the suicide of Victoria Giuffre, without mentioning Prince Andrew, the man who paid for her silence. We only know about this poor woman because of her link with Andrew. How is it OK for the BBC to do this?

That clown presenting Newsnight. He’s never off our screens or radios. “I worked on Wall Street” he says, sneering at a senior economist from the IMF. 🤬

Long standing Labour member here. Concerned that Keir is overdoing the “special relationship” line with the USA. It’s becoming less credible by the hour, as, in league with Trump, Putin murders innocent Ukrainians yet again. We should be attacking Farage’s Trump links more vigorously too.

It’s not just Nufc this happens to. Monday night football on Sky and they have barely mentioned tonight’s match between Forest and Spurs. They kick off in a few minutes. 🤬⚽️

Justin. How can you interview that US guy and his rhetoric re China without mentioning Russia? @bbcr4today

Tories in court charged with betting fraud. They are saying the issue “dogged their 2024 election campaign”. The BBC are repeating this utter garbage. The Tories made sure the story was quickly buried & barely reported, saying: “an investigation is taking place - we can’t possibly comment”.

With some reluctance, they’re giving us the excellent growth figures. Then: “and now over to a right winger from the Institute of Directors to demolish it”. 🤬

What are you talking about Justin? There’s no “Tariff money” to spend, on tax cuts or anything else. There never was. Why are you treating that Trumpist seriously? You should be laughing at him on our behalf. @bbcr4today

As expected, Trump reverses most of his tariff plans and his friends, who were tipped off about it in advance, will be making large fortunes. The BBC will not report this and insist on having a Trump supporter on every news programme covering the whole fiasco. 🤬🤬🤬

Good grief! Two stunners. #declanrice ⚽️⚽️

The stock market has crashed, parts of it will recover when Trump reverses some of his recent decisions. Nobody knows when the reversals will happen. Except Trump. $Billions will be made in the greatest insider dealing scandal in history.

Oh! So Musk is stepping down from DOGE. Plummeting car sales linked to his support for Trump are the reasons. I’m now persuaded to go out and buy a Tesla and I’m sure millions of others will be persuaded to do the same. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

The US govt is interfering with the way this country is being run. They’ve sent people to meet and lecture Ofcom about “freedom of speech” in the UK. Any response from DCMS? 🤬

lol

I recognise realities: Starmer can’t just scream “liar, traitor, fraud” at Trump. However, any attempt to do a deal over Trump’s tariffs is a lose-lose for Keir. If he secures a deal, Brexiteers will take the credit & exploit it. If it’s no deal, it’ll be “Starmer has failed”. Please back off Keir.

Generating bad news, to bury even worse news. The Tories did this all the time and Trump is copying them. He’s literally announcing 25% tariffs to distract from #signalgate
