Girls! Girls! You're *both* right! Bask in the novelty.

I frequently read criticism of Europe from US citizens. Apart from having free healthcare, 6 wks paid leave, paid maternity/paternity leave, employment rights, much more importantly, our kids don't get shot at school & have no clue what an active shooter drill is. What don't you like?

28000 people ahead of me in the Ticketmaster queue for Raye tickets at Royal Albert Hall next week. Capacity is around 5000. Presale and priority booking has been hijacked by scalpers as is obvious from the tickets on sale on secondary sites. Are artists too greedy to do anything about this??

Raye fans were ecstatic when the singer announced a one-off show at the Royal Albert Hall – but excitement soon turned to frustration after ticket registrations were overwhelmed by scalpers using AI bots.

Andy Burnham, "Brexit has done more harm than good to UK growth, and to other things as well" "One of the big lies of the 2016 campaign was that we would 'take back control' and it would be much easier - the reality is you need collaboration to take control of immigration"

“The only sensible solution at this point is a moratorium on datacentres until very basic questions about how many we need, what for, where, and how pollution will be avoided are answered satisfactorily by the government” - @olliehayes.bsky.social 👏

Donald Trump "I could say the stupidest things and you'd clap." Of course, then they clap.

God he’s such a little whiny baby. Always spouting about eight wars he stopped. Eight wars that never happened. Eight wars that are a fabrication. He’s a moron

It's particularly obnoxious that he should characterise getting Palantir out of UK state activity as 'mob rule'. It's precisely to ensure that we can operate as a sovereign democracy that we need to keep companies like that away from anything important.

Palantir is owned by fascists with strong links to a geopolitical adversary - the US - that is funding far right activity in the UK. It already has dangerous leverage over critical UK state functions. Tom Watson is a piece of shit who has ruined what reputation he had.

I’d choose the bear.

Who is paying for Andrew Windsor's legal action on search warrants? Where is the legal action against him for multiple offences including rape? Time to get rid of these entitled parasites. #AbolishTheMonarchy

SNL UK isn't letting up on Ed Sheeran. Here's host/'Chicken Shop Date' creator Amelia Dimoldenberg tonight.

@andyburnham.bsky.social you don’t speak for me. I don’t stand with Israel. I will not vote for Sagal in Holborn & St Pancras by-election. #FreePalestine #GazaGenocide

If you believe that gas and diesel prices are high in late September 2026 because of Biden and Zelenskyy, then you might be a Trump supporter. And a moron. Which is pretty much the same thing.

When you sell out your soul for money from a tour that will no longer sell out because of that . . .

Edb Sheeran is a cowardly little weasel. Bending over to a billionaire who is in the Epstein files and had some dubious encounters in a massage parlour in Florida resulting in charges against him being dropped but the women involved being charged. Money talks, justice walks.

Just saw that Sheeran's touring band, and all 4 openers, walked in solidarity with Macklemore. Absolutely beautiful

US Open Final = domestic abuser vs Trump supporter. I’d like them both to lose.

Who’s ’sleepy’ now?

Hahahahaha! Well done 🇮🇪

Billionaire owned papers carry multiple stories attacking migrants for poverty, war, climate disasters and never articles supporting #TaxTheRich which could end poverty, reduce war, decelerate climate change "Have you ever wondered why some stories get more attention than others?" via Chris Palmer

9/11 was a terrible tragedy for those who lost loved ones. I do wonder if Americans memorialising it ever spare a thought for all the people that have died as a result of their government's actions. I get the feeling that Americans think their lives are more important than others.

I have just heard that Trump's current approval rating is 35% and that this is low. However, no-one in Europe understands how 35% of Americans can approve of him. That's a lot of very stupid people. Please explain.

Couple move back to the UK to spend more time with husband's family - no one cares.

@andyburnham.bsky.social please be more like Mark Carney in your dealings with the giant orange toddler. You will earn more respect from everyone in the UK except Reform voters and no one needs respect from them.

Hey USA, your “leader” prefers North Korea to South Korea. Kind of like how he prefers Russia to Ukraine. In case you were still wondering whether or not you’re the bad guy.

That was underwhelming ☀️🕶️

Dear USA When are you going to do something about the giant orange man child that is ruining your country. We all found it incomprehensible that he was elected in the first place. That you allow him to remain in office and a significant proportion of you still approve of him is insanity. The World

Call me crazy, but maybe two men who fathered 19 children with 7 different women shouldn’t be lecturing us about family values.

Oh well, it seems that *some* people have not been distracted.

Norway’s football federation is making a formal complaint to FIFA over political interference in the Word Cup. Well done to them. Now for the FA? *drums fingers*

@andyburnham.bsky.social seems determined to repeat mistakes that made Labour supporters defect to the Greens. We do not want cosying up to Trump, pandering to Reform. We want condemnation of Israel, tax the rich, renationalise water, rent control, more social housing, taxes on second homes.

Hosting a World Cup as President of the United States and having it end with the entire world somehow hating you even more than the historically unprecedented degree to which they already hated you is quite the accomplishment given that he never laced up even once

Was prepared to give Burnham the benefit of the doubt until I heard that his first call to a world leader was to Trump. So more snivelling and grovelling to the orange man child. I expect better from our PM. Be more like Spain even if that doesn't include winning the World Cup.

Finding this quite hard to stomach from a country that is bombing the shit out of other countries…

Cheers Donald. Now sit and watch as they win the trophy in your own tournament

This is ridiculous. This is so fixed for Argentina to win. #ESPARG #Corruption

Fernandez is a nasty, dirty little thug. He’s not interested in playing football.
