I have, only this morning, lifted the curse of my fantasy Football side from Bruno Fernandes and Bryan Mbeumo and therefore confidently expect them both to get a hat trick against Bournemouth

Christ alive, that US deficit

Tell me again that climate change is a hoax.

Magnificent Landismo Day

A dark blizzard of disinformation is warping the public’s perception of our great city. But we know the truth: our homicide rate is lower than every major US city, neighbourhood crimes are down and we’ve been ranked #1 city in the world 11 years in a row. My piece for The Times.

Tonno ottimo! At da MaMo, Bagni di Lucca - squisito!

It is almost, almost, impressive just how Labour have taken the massively dysfunctional and incompetent Home Office and managed by dint of policies and rhetoric to make it even more dysfunctional and incompetent. It is a true testament to how hostile they are to migrants. archive.today/07Hdr

This is what I was hoping to see from influencers and independent journalists who traveled to Cuba. The impacts of U.S. actions aren't getting the attention they deserve in mainstream media. My people are being ignored in the U.S. news.

This is an excellent summary of the US War on Iran current situation. I’m an existentialist and borderline absurdist and even I struggle with the current moment. This summary is just fantastic.

This moment from Feb 2025 may go down as one of the most prescient exchanges in modern diplomatic history. Zelenskyy warned Trump that while the United States may feel protected by an ocean today, a time could come when America would need help in war. Trump scolded him instead.

We have awarded these people contracts in the Ministry of Defence. What the fuck are we doing.

Fixed that for you, Jez, old chap

This BBC kids tv advert from 1998 is still very impressive and very lovely

Yeah, funny that. But then Nigel Farage barely knows Gill

Going out on a limb here, but if Tommy Robinson is tweeting praising your new immigration policy YOU MIGHT HAVE LOST YOUR MIND, MORAL COMPASS AND REASON TO EXIST Labour

You'll notice that there are certain demographics in society - the poor, immigrants, disabled people - who we are constantly told live on easy street with the government lavishing them with riches, and even after decades of policy designed to stop this, still have it way too good.

The Kremlin disguised a nearly $100 mn payment to Trump in the form of a brokered real estate deal... and both Jeffrey Epstein and William Pulte were involved in the deal. That's very interesting.

The Daily Telegraph doesn't seem to publish circulation figures and hasn't since 2019; however based on the decline in newspapers generally, it's circulation now is estimated at 150,000. Which is already lower than Green Party membership!

🧵On our revelations today about the BBC Coup and the Prescott Dossier. The leaked ‘BBC Bias’ memo Trump used to attack the BBC was authored by Michael Prescott — a Hanover lobbyist paid by US tech/media giants tied to Trump. Full story: bylinetimes.com/2025/11/11/b... 1/12

If I were running Labour comms I would commission an app called 'Will the Tories/Reform deport you?' then let the reactions on TikTok and Instagram do their work.

I have half an hour before my next interview so I'm going to sketch out what I find an important problem with the fashionable division of immigrants into "net contributors" and "net recipients" of government spending. 1/10

@tedcruz Are you a serious politician or a racist 6 year old?

Israeli quadcopters shooting children. And our government continues to materially supporting Israel every day. Even as Israel rejects a two state solution, votes to fully annex the West Bank, and murders more doctors, nurses, journalists, children. And our government continues to assist it.

Bessent on why US troops won't get involved in defending Europe: "As I told my European counterparts about two weeks ago, 'All I hear from you is that Putin wants to march into Warsaw. The one thing I'm sure of is that Putin isn't marching into Boston.'"

The only country to ever initiate Article 5 of the NATO treaty won't do anything if the Russians attack European members? Not sure this individual has the first idea about anything, he's just another Trumpian fool.

Looks like the riders are enjoying a well-deserved informal podium celebration ❤️🇪🇸 #LaVuelta2025 📸: TV 2 Sport

I've written to Keir Starmer, Kemi Badenoch and Nigel Farage, urging them to join me in condemning Elon Musk's dangerous remarks inciting violence yesterday. As leaders, we must stand together and make clear Musk will face serious consequences for these actions.

A couple of days after Belarus sent Russian drones flying into Poland, the US lifted sanctions on Belarusian airline Belavia. It was announced by US Deputy Special Envoy for Ukraine John Cole during a meeting with President Lukashenko in Minsk.

On July 14, 2025, Trump declared that he would levy 100% tariffs and secondary sanctions on countries that continued to buy Russian oil if Putin failed to agree to a ceasefire within 10-12 days. Putin didn't. Trump hasn't.

Downing Street says of Palestine Action “this is a violent organisation that has committed violence, significant injury, extensive criminal damage”. Palestine Action says it is non-violent. I found no evidence of advocating violence & just 1 minor charge of assault. Who’s right? Are they terrorists?

Arresting 400+ people for the "terrorist" offence of protesting against mass murder while large segments of the right are openly encouraging riots against immigrants is a tale of a very unhappy country and government.

Since 2020 the UK's 20 biggest energy companies made operating profit of £514,038,259,000. Profiteering pushes millions into poverty. Hikes govt's energy bill, pushes up taxes. It makes steel, shipbuilding, engineering and other energy intensive industries difficult. OFGEM doesn't protect people

Crucial thread

"Shameful" The Inquiry hears from expert virologist Prof. Deenan Pillay that the Government chose to spend billions on private consultants from Deloitte instead of listening to experts. The labs they set up have since been dismantled. 'We've been left with nothing'.
