⚽️ On this day in 1914, Spurs drew 5-5 with Leicester Fosse in the first round of the FA Cup. Bert Bliss (2), Fanny Walden, Billy Minter and Jimmy Cantrell scored for Tottenham in what would become our highest scoring draw in the FA Cup! #COYS Learn more: thfcdb.com/matches/1913...

Caroline Lucas, "When you say President trump has different views, it's not about different views it's about telling lies, and we should call that out" "The truth is the truth and we should be promoting that" Well said @carolinelucas.bsky.social

Donald trump just claimed to have won "in a landside." His 1.7% margin of victory was the 5th smallest in American history. All he does is fucking lie.

If the private sector construction giants who rake in billions from the housing shortage say it's impossible to end the housing shortage, that's good enough for me

The average american after 4 years of Robert 'Polio' Kennedy.

Am still posting to X for work purposes but am spending zero time there otherwise. Quite something how a website I joined in 2007 and spent huge amounts of time on ever since, became basically unusable overnight

I'm so old, I remember when nationalised Royal Mail delivered the post twice a day with stamps at an affordable price. Then it was sold off and 'the superior efficiency of the private sector' kicked in.

If only there were a load of countries on our doorstep filled with workers who really want these jobs and could freely come and fill this shortage without any barriers eh.

The dividing line between the Tories and Reform UK right now seems to be whether you can make a nutritious sandwich for 30p

Has Lee Anderson posted his 30p Christmas dinner recipes yet?

Kemi Badenoch demonstrates the Tories chose their leader well👇🏼👇🏼👌🏼 Monumentally thick, vacuous, arrogant, talentless, supercilious, devoid of integrity and empathy.. Badenoch is every bit as sh*t as Sunak, Truss and Johnson Labour picked a winner as leader.. the Tories pick world class losers❗️🙄 🤷🏼‍♂️

Well. What do you know? The Assads are hiding in Moscow, lost in luxury. Appraently they own at least 20 high-end apartments, worth an estimated $40m (£31m), in the city where their new life in exile will begin. apple.news/ALc_MLPhuTeu...

Bizarre #PMQs from Kemi Badenoch focusing on Labour’s record on immigration after less than six months in office after the Tory government’s catastrophic failure on it over many years. As Larry the cat could have told her - it didn’t end well

Please form an orderly queue

The number of daily active US users on X has dropped by 8.4% since early October, from 32.3 million to 29.6 million. Meanwhile the number of Bluesky users has risen by 1,064%👏 www.theguardian.com/media/2024/d...

The farmers demonstration today is the establishment trying to bring down the Labour government. Don’t fall for it

Poor Farmers heading to London

I’ve decided to form a choir this Christmas. Anyone wanting to join will be welcome. So far, it’s just Dean, Don, Mary, Lee and I…

Feels like Groundhog Day... I’m taking action against the Mail again! Back in April, the Mail made false claims about my views on Palestine - a smear designed to harm my reputation. So I took legal action. A month later, they apologised, paid costs and damages, which I sent to Palestinian charities.

Property tycoon Nick Candy has joined Reform as their Treasurer. He is perhaps best known for partying during lockdown, so he should fit right in.

Just a reminder that there were people claiming Syrian refugees were 'economic migrants' and it was perfectly safe for them to go back... www.bbc.com/news/article...

Past time to re-nationalise essential infrastructure. Thatcher’s privatisation dreams have done enormous damage.

"68,000 US citizens die preventable deaths each year due to a lack of healthcare – and that’s not limited to those who don’t have insurance. Insurers frequently contest claims, leaving sick people stuck with huge bills and unable to afford further treatment."

2024: Nick Candy donates a 7 figure sum to Reform 2020: Nick Candy was partying at CCHQ, breaking covid rules, at a party that did not fine everyone in attendance, which saw the host of the party Shaun Baily eventually end up in the House of Lords

Oscar Wilde described fox hunters as "the unspeakable in full pursuit of the uneatable." This outdated feudal-era "sport" needs to be banned now, this activity serves only to sate the sadistic desires of hunters.

Dear Keir Starmer, Release the Russian report, end the Brexit fraud.

Child Poverty % (children living in households below the minimum wage) Denmark 2.4% Finland 3.2% Norway 3.6% Sweden 3.6% The UK 32.1% All four of those countries have child benefits, paid by taxing the rich, that make it almost impossible for a child to be in poverty.

Maybe Health Insurance CEOs should study this picture to understand why Americans are now hunting them for sport.

It's bad enough that water companies are dumping sewage into our rivers, now the safety of our tap water is at further risk, from lack of testing. Brexit really has been a bit of a shit show… www.theguardian.com/business/202...

100+ Guardian & Observer journalists have written to the Guardian to ask why the Scott Trust has refused to answer basic questions about the deal to give the Observer to a financially failing media start-up www.theguardian.com/media/2024/d...

😂😂😂

Chelsea took over in the second half, whereas whatever the scoreline, we never look as if we can control a game, so the ball keeps coming back at us. Second best again yet as Thursday we concede because of our mental fragility. Pressure makes the mind go wonky - what were Biss and Sarr thinking?

My ratings for today. Forster 8 Porro 5 Romero 6 VDV 7 Udogie 5 Bissouma 4 Sarr 5 Kulusevski 6 Johnson 4 Solanke 7 Son 5. Subs Dragusin 6 Werner 1 #COYS

You can be sure the Spurs board are not feeling this like we are. Is there anybody out there with the ambition and intelligence to run a grand old club?

Excerpt from a Lee Anderson tweet from about 1 hr ago... " It must be great being politically stupid - and not knowing it".

I have no idea why Prince William is sitting down with a rapist and convicted felon. I don’t give a single shit he’s a working Royal. When men sit down with rapists and smile for cameras you’re normalising rape.

Nigel Farage lied throughout Question Time last night, and embarrassed himself on Brexit. Here's a full reconstruction. #bbcqt youtu.be/FBmoJ7RJYpA?...

Reform UK leader Nigel Farage says “We need to leave the ECHR so we can deport people that come illegally & take back control of our borders & that’s what the public wants” Share if you disagree with his populist boll**** the UK should join Russia & Belarus outside the ECHR youtu.be/iSTN-h8NoyY

Ooooo very snobbish ...
