Mainstream radio presenters like Vanessa Feltz are perfectly happy to contribute, in their own small way, to the rise of the extreme far right. Her interview with me on LBC just now was chock full of lies. Calls herself a journalist. Really I wonder how they sleep at night.

Welcome to Brexitland, US, in which waywardness is described as "strategic uncertainty", restrictions on trade boost performance and self harm is lauded.... Spoiler, it does not end happily www.ft.com/content/342d...

Don't remember that being on the side of the bus.

The pies should be good… #Pompey

I will say it again: If we make it through this dark period with democracy intact, it may be because the administration's incompetence was greater than its depravity.

If you're wondering why so many right wing individuals are saying hateful things about the late Pope, the reason is simple: he told them that they should care about other people.

Daughter just sent me this video of my grandson celebrating #Pompey survival tonight…🥰

Brexit has “damaged the practical ability” of doctors to offer NHS patients life-saving new drugs via international clinical trials” Extra rules and costs have a “significant negative impact” on UK cancer research… But yeah, “Brexit betrayal” is the real problem. www.theguardian.com/science/2025...

In the latest episode of "Brexit Kills", we discover that it is denying cancer sufferers the life-saving drugs and trials of revolutionary treatments they need to survive. Soaring costs, red tape duplication, the need for additional certification, etc. etc. www.theguardian.com/science/2025...

#PUP #POMPEY

"We don’t want your Nazi cars / take a one-way trip to Mars" is a pretty good chant

The former ambassador to Denmark for the United States, Rufus Gifford, posted this video on his Facebook account: Ht: @hpsc24.bsky.social

Still in Liverpool post #Pompey and spotted ColbyBishop’s sideline…

Staying in Liverpool pre-Preston v #Pompey and took a peek at Everton’s new stadium. Impressive…but still prefer Fratton Park.

“illegally and collusively boycott”

From #Pompey’s Josh Murphy on Sunday to brother Jacob on Monday. (I’m probably the last person to notice that the twins both wear No.23).

Just re-lived the whole #Pompey game on @ITVX. Still buzzing from that performance and occasion.

My first #Pompey match - great memories.

*New* campaign action on Marks & Spencer - any help getting the first few signatures going would be greatly appreciated! actionstorm.org/petitions/ma... We're sharing this first on Bluesky as this is so much friendlier (and troll free, so far at least!) than any of the other platforms right now!

No UK acts in the global top 10 albums or singles of 2024 🤯 “Previously, UK acts have appeared in one, or both, of the top 10 lists every year since at least 2003.” reports the BBC www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... This is why we need to take seriously the crisis in grassroots and our media 🧵

Every. Single. Bloody. Thing. They. Promised. About. Brexit. Was. A. Lie. And on they go demanding it be protected as if it’s something precious rather than the stupidest thing a country could have done to itself. Here’s what prejudice delivers… A barrelling shitshow of failure. 👇

The irony of the richest man in the world almost single-handedly destroying an agency designed to help the world’s poor, so that the U.S. federal budget has more room for another giant tax cut for the richest man in the world and his pals, should not be lost on anyone. [Cartoon by Mike Luckovich]

Graph of the day…

@jstockbridge1.bsky.social Your boy is back from injury 👏🏻

I know everything feels grim right now but let's be realistic. These people are idiots. They're going to tank their economy. They're going to fuck-up every deal they sign. They're going to leave America looking shattered and deranged. And all those who supported them will look as idiotic as they are

Still internalising the Vance Munich speech. A sitting Vice President goes to Europe, barely says a word about the despotic murderous regime which has invaded its neighbour, and instead lectures his allies about freedom of speech. It’d be funny if it weren’t so serious.
