On here for Tranmere Rovers and football things mainly. Politically I would say I am on the Liberal Left and support the Lib Dems. But I don't talk politics when talking about football.

This is insane by Yvette Cooper. Spray-painting planes is not terrorism. Criminal damage, yes - but you cannot “terrorise” inanimate objects. It does not serve to cause terror in victims. Therefore it is not terrorism. The authoritarian Home Secretary has lost the plot.

Not looking to take sides on Israel or Palestine. But I don't think civil disobedience involving the throwing of paint should make Palestine Action a proscribed terrorist organisation.

“When the Thatcher government sold off the water industry in England and Wales in 1989, it promised better efficiency, greater investment and improved service quality. But more than three decades on, those promises have largely evaporated.”

EXCLUSIVE: We dug up a video of Donald Trump trashing Qatar in 2017 calling them “funders of terrorism.” I’m sure he would hate if this clip changed their mind to give him a $400 million plane - so definitely don’t repost it.

The Telegraph breached the Editors' Code by failing to include the Muslim Association of Britain's position that it is not affiliated with the Muslim Brotherhood, meaning readers could "believe that the allegation had gone unchallenged and is accepted" www.ipso.co.uk/rulings/0022...

No Mr Trump. Russia started the war.

Can we stop calling these atrocities "deportations." These people sold to El Salvadorian prisons were not deported. Deportation is a process that did not take place. They were rounded up and removed with no process. They were kidnapped, not deported.

Utterly shocking to deny entry to two British MPs regardless of their party. It’s more than unacceptable. It sets a dangerous precedent. Lammy should call in the Ambassador to explain the Israeli Government’s position immediately.

The scale of abuse in the Church of England was so huge that it overwhelmed the Archbishop. Why is this organisation still allowed to run schools? Let alone given seats in the House of Lords?

“This has to be the final nail in the coffin for Ofwat, a regulator that has time and again proven it is completely inadequate to protect customers and our beautiful environment.” @eddavey.libdems.org.uk buff.ly/yEMDWdf @marisharay.bsky.social @greenlibdems.org.uk @pippaheylings.bsky.social

NEW: Today in Instanbul, Turkey. A people fighting for democracy & against authoritarianism. This is how you do it! Chairman of Republican People’s Party, Özgür Özel: “Today, 2.2 million of our citizens overflowed Maltepe Square. This is just the beginning. This nation will not remain silent.” 🇹🇷

It’s 21 years since Eugene Dadi did this for Tranmere. Fetch this man a cigar. That is fucking sensational.

For all of the noise and the hype, the basic facts are these: Ukraine and has agreed to an unconditional ceasefire. Russia has not. And tonight, Putin keeps on bombing.

It’s borderline criminal.

I’ve heard from a solid source that medical supplies from US to frontline medics in Ukraine are being withheld through USAID and military logistics. If true this is absolutely unacceptable.

So now, because Zelensky didn’t wear a suit or agree to Trump’s extortion, Trump freezes support to Ukraine… He wants Zelensky on his knees and Ukraine to suffer further hell, in order to pander to his grotesque ego. Presumably he also expects us all to thank him for this murderous betrayal.

Good morning all! 🇺🇦 Please share everywhere. 🙏🏻

Saw this elsewhere and have to agree.

🇨🇦Morning Laugh🇨🇦

😂😂

This is Winston Churchill visiting the White House during World War II. Funny how he isn’t wearing a suit either. Almost like he was a wartime leader defending his country from being slaughtered and wiped out by an authoritarian aggressor.

So the Americans are saying Zelenskyy should apologise. For what exactly? He was talked over and shouted at. The irony of JD talking about diplomacy minutes before it all kicked off would be funny if it wasn't so depressing for the Western Alliance.
