#Posh Lose 2-0 to Donny - sack manager. #SWFC Lose 2-0 to Donny - sack manager. The 'likes of Donny' strikes again. #DRFC

What has gone wrong with Rovers and injuries? No Clarke on the bench. No Nixon. We were supposed to be getting players back 😪 #DRFC

Just back from my 18th run. Getting way too old for this sh*t. But for a great cause. Thanks to all who've sponsored me. #DRFC #Run5kmaDayinOctober #ProstateUnited

My dad fought in the war and he wasn't a racist. My late mother was a teenager and dedicated her life to helping refugees. My cousin is in her 80s and "fucking hates racists". You don't get a get out of racist jail free card simply for being old and having happened to have lived during a war.

I am old enough to remember when releasing the Epstein files was a major campaign promise for Donald Trump. I guess when they found out that it wasn’t a bunch of Democrats on the list they changed their tune.

the story about the ULEZ bomber, a white bloke in his 60s, still isn’t on the front page of the BBC News when it feels like quite a big story about online radicalisation & violence

I love it when the Daily Mail threatens me with a good time. "Most Left-wing speech by a PM since 1970s" "National Care Service" "Closer ties with EU" "voting reform that could lock Right out of power"

Nigel Farage has deleted this post But not before it's been shared widely showing him to be either a serial liar or delusional and either way, unfit for public office

If people don't want to pay tax to make this country function and help out the rest of society and particularly those who need help most... then maybe they should move to Dubai and stop bleating about it. Really sick to death of it.

Reform has shut 10 Public Nurseries to replace them with Private ones. They have stopped Public Catering to schools to replace them with Private Catering They have shut Public Care Homes to replace them with Private ones Reform serves billionaires, more even than everyone else

Yes, I'm pretty sure everyone can see what's happening. Rich, privately, educated entitled tossers who could not be more part of The Establishment do not think they ought to have to play by the rules.

The only 4 constituencies where rejoining the EU wasn’t the preferred option were those of Lee Anderson, Farage, Tice and Lowe. In those 4, the top answer was ‘don’t know’. Confirming that Brexit has no real support at all. Not surprising for a total shitshow. And makes red lines seem very silly.

#Commanders secondary doing their usual disappearing act. Letting Dallas do what they want. Doesnt matter what Jayden does if the defence is so bad.

GB News only makes £6m a year, it pays Nigel Farage £1m a year, and makes a £36m loss. It isn't even supposed to be allowed to hire MP's. Why is this blatant bribery of a Politician allowed?

All the money in the world won’t make Reform’s moronic policies workable. It won’t make their people less racist or idiotic. It won’t sort out their ridiculous egos or end the investigations. It won’t make the majority of us loathe them any less. In fact, the money may well bury them. Let’s hope so.

Absolutely gutted. Can't fault the players. Played really well. Serious questions about the summer recruitment.. How as it left us so bereft of a goal threat up top. Signing crocks. We could have played until midnight and not scored. Despite dominating the game. #DRFC

The Ben Delo who has just given Reform £36m is the same Ben Delo who US prosecutors said was the leader of a ‘criminal enterprise’ But hey ho, it’s fine for him- and any other crypto bro - to buy British democracy lock stock and barrel democracyforsale.substack.com/p/reforms-4m...

democracyforsale.substack.comReform's £4m donor "thumbed his nose at the law", US prosecutors saidBen Delo has called his US conviction a "non-crime". Prosecutors said the Farage-backing crypto billionaire was a “leader of a criminal enterprise”.

80 year-olds with pro-Palestine signs: arrested as terrorists. Greens planning to block a road, to highlight an existential crisis: sent down for years. Masked far-right thugs blocking roads and ports, using intimidation, obstruction & threatening behaviour: no arrests. The real two-tier policing.

Provisional Met Office data shows this summer was the hottest ever on record. Thousands of deaths due to dangerous heat. Crops destroyed by drought. Homes threatened by fires. Labour must not approve Rosebank or Jackdaw in this new climate chaos. No new oil and gas.

Struggling to work out why Jenrick would single out these three Commonwealth countries rather than, say, Canada, Australia and New Zealand, whose citizens have exactly the same rights. It’s a head-scratcher.

Together we're going to take on the billionaires, the newspapers they own and the politicians who they buy. Thank you Bristol. That was pretty special! 💚😍 📸 - Forwards Festival.

“But England has built no major new major reservoirs for more than 30 years.” Shouldn’t that read “But the private water companies have built no….” But they have managed to extract billions for those deserving shareholders.

The BBC needs to commission a Panorama on the failures of their own journalist to do their jobs properly. I was always a strong advocate for the BBC but, in the last decade in particular, they have failed miserably in seeking out and uncovering the truth in the political sphere. Shameful.

One of the first "outrageous" claims I saw as Jason Arday's media hounding unfolded was that he ran 30 marathons in 35 days! Wow! What a thing to claim! And the newspapers all suggested there was no evidence he actually did it. Well, they clearly didn't look very hard 🙄 🧵 1/26

Thought Thomas looked lively at times today. McCann looked good when he came on. But Hutchinson sadly looks like a competition winner at the moment. I'm sure there is a player in there, but think he's struggling with the step up. Byrne or Sterry MOM for me. #DRFC
