I've read that Google has ended it's financial support for Full Fact at the same time as the US government equates fact checking with censorship. Just a coincidence, I suppose.

Sat here in my local hospital waiting for a routine appointment and on the tv in the waiting room is GBNews. Oh, the irony.

One of the coolest moments from the World Cup 🇯🇵👏 NFL quarterback Jameis Winston was spotted helping Japan fans clean up the stands after their match, embracing a tradition that has earned supporters worldwide respect 🫡 Football brings people together 🌍❤️ (Via fox4)

After Japan battled the Netherlands to a 2-2 draw, the Japanese fans stayed behind and cleaned up every single piece of trash from their section at Dallas Stadium after the game. You LOVE to see it 🇯🇵 #WorldCup #Football #Soccer #RG3 #Love #sports #RGIII #RobertGriffinIII #Japan #Discipline

Just listened to BBCRaio4 Desert Island Discs. Gary O'Donahue was the guest. What an interesting, intelligent and pleasant man. His choice of music wasn't bad, either.

How can people vote for and admire Farage, then at the same time pay tribute to David Attenborough?

Oh dear, guess who's on Laura Kuenssberg this morning. Yes, Jenrick with his Reform monologue. Yet more exposure for this minority party.

@trevorphillips420.bsky.social is cutting a falorn figure this morning. He can't get a word in while suffering the verbal machine gun of Shabina Mahmood.

The sheer scale of media outrage this week about plans to lift hundreds of thousands children out of poverty, by taxing millionaire homeowners, tells you everything you need to know about the real priorities of the British press www.adambienkov.co.uk/p/the-real-b...

Rachel Reeves says there’s a “hole” in the public finances. A new decade-long Brexit study explains it: a 6–8% hit to GDP – that's £180bn-£240bn a year – means less tax, less investment and less money for everything else. Brexit made Britain poorer. Much poorer. @eastangliabylines.co.uk

That awkward moment when your star columnist was responsible... and you have to write headlines around the Boris shaped elephant in the newsroom

Could there be a greater argument against Brexit than remembering that Johnson, Cummings, JRM & Farage were it's main protagonists?

Despite our differences, we can co-exist.

Nine years ago the godfather of Brexit, Lord Daniel Hannan, predicted life in Brexit Britain in June 2025. Roll the tape… (VO by @gavinesler.bsky.social. Part 2 below👇)

Nick Robinson says the UK-EU deal only gets 10% of what the UK lost due to Brexit. Rachel Reeves said yesterday that the deal gains £9 billion for the UK. Nick Robinson confirming we lost £90 billion due to Brexit. Twice the value of the tax imposition required at the budget. Lost. #r4today

YouGov poll: “Most Britons (53%) say they would support Britain rejoining the EU, and 66% say they would support the UK having a closer relationship than it does now - including 52% of Leave voters and 54% of those who backed Reform UK in 2024.” yougov.co.uk/politics/art...

Starmer visits Albania and the only news reporters he takes are from GB News? What parallel universe am I living in?

Kemi Badenoch accepted a £14,000 week-long "residential" for her family and shadow cabinet, courtesy of the chair of climate change denying lobbying group Net Zero Watch. Weeks later she announced that she has ditched her party's commitment to reaching Net Zero bylinetimes.com/2025/03/18/k...

The message on the red bus was that #Brexit would be good for the NHS ..no mention of medicine shortages! Drug shortages in the UK have risen to their worst level for four years, with #Brexit considered a key reason so many medications are scarce. www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

As we welcome the news that the UK will support Ukraine with a £2.26bn loan… Here’s your reminder that the Conservatives wasted £9.9bn on unusable or defective PPE Never forget their staggering corruption and incompetence.

Brexit was pushed through by lies. The Sun lied about benefits tourism. Later, it printed this pathetically small apology. The government should force all news media to print apologies for falsehoods in a form that makes them as visible to the public as the original lie.

Cardiff shouldn't be that low in confidence. They are now 7 games undefeated.

#BBCRadioDerbySport Cardiff shouldn't be that low in confidence. They are now 7 games undefeated.

@derbycounty.bsky.social Ed Dawes hit the nail on the head tonight when he talked about raising the game from Div 1 to Championship. It's not just about players, it's about having plans B, C etc. Does this current management have ability to raise it's game?

Reform wants to destroy the UK by destroying its money and its economy youtu.be/mKvVoGVDL5k?... Reform has proposed a Bill in parliament that would destroy the ability of the UK government to create money. A policy of that sort would crash UK economic credibility and our economy.

Raya going early for each penalty making it easy for the takers.

The EU previously acted as a watchdog on sewage pollution.

@goldretrieverus.bsky.social After a few weeks of negotiation, Austin has begrudgingly reached a compromise with Hugo.

Which SHOULD be the bigger news scandal of the last 5days? Greg Wallace when accused of sexual misconduct, called them "middle-class women of a certain age". Nigel Farage when asked about his MP beating up his girlfriend: "You've had your fun, Sky News. I'm off to lunch." Which has more coverage?

Royal propaganda goes into overdrive since the Channel 4 documentary. Don't they see the irony of a millionaire being diven in his limo to open food banks?
