Storming speech from Andy Burnham. I expect Chris Mason will be along soon, to get Nigel Farage's opinion on it.

To add insult to injury, the way things are going with Spurs, Man City won’t even have the best stadium in the Championship. #ManCity #Spurs

I've had more enticing offers...

Just watched the TdF Femmes highlights on TNT. What a shoddy mess. Commentary sometimes 30s out of sync with the pictures. Apparently randomly edited clips with commentators coming in literally mid-sentence describing something we've not seen. No round-up or outro of any kind. Utter shambles.

Mad skies over South Manchester, as the smoke from the moorland wildfires drifts across the setting sun.

John Terry coming down to take the penalty… #NORENG

Haaland wandering about, totally uninterested in any involvement that isn’t someone putting the ball at his feet in front of goal. #BRA-NOR

0-0 in the 90th minute. England strolling around playing walking football.

How bad is this Australian side? Complete shambles. #fifaworldcup

What's going on with #TNTSports coverage of the Giro? "Extended Highlights" of stage 20 just ... stops ... with 10km to go. wtf? No explanation. Amateurs. Not a patch on the (free) ITV highlights presentation. Let's hope they get their shit together before the TdF.

So commences the countdown to Farage’s mobile being mysteriously ’stolen’.

Croatia going the full floating Yoda there. #Eurovision

Bold Sir Robin Daisy Nook Country Park, Ashton-under-Lyne. This little guy was definitely posing. This way and that, determined that I got his best side. #photography #photographersofBlueSky #nature #Spring #naturephotography

I mean, I was surprised and delighted by the "floating Nutella" incident. But the reveal of the Tunnocks Teacakes was a next level finale. #Artemis #Integrity #NASA #splashdown #tunnocksteacakes

The pro-Brexiters who bleated about "UK sovereignty" are now bleating that Starmer doesn't have his head far enough up Trump's arse.

Dear BBC: you don’t refer to Epstein as “Jeffrey”, do you? So why do you keep calling this nasty bastard just “Andrew”, as if he is some kind of beloved national treasure?

Nadine Dorries: “It’s not far right rhetoric! It’s defending British values and communities!” #bbcqt

Who did this? #lordofthefiles #mandelson #epstein

Massive "Peoples Front of Judea" vibes...

Chris Mason will be along soon to tell us how the Covid report is a terrible blow to Keir Starmer...

If you have a doubt the MAGA attack on the BBC is not co-ordinated, read what GB News owner told the US “We need you to come and save us. To rescue us … You are making America great again… We need to make Britain great again” subscribe.bylinetimes.com/edition/79/a...

I’m sure Matt Goodwin will be along shortly to tell us all whether LNER Customer Service Host Samir Zitouni counts as British or not. news.sky.com/story/train-...

Bloody hell. Somebody actually sat down and wrote this. Next week: a searing exposé of the toilet habits of bears in woods.

Bloody hell. What on earth is #BBCQT thinking, giving a platform to this obnoxious, coked-up, big-eared twat?

Rampant fungi at RHS Bridgewater, Salford. It's been a good year for it. #photography #photographersofbluesky #fungus #fungi #nature #naturephotography

Much as I enjoy the dancing, the costumes and the music, I do feel that #Strictly is slowly suffocating under the weight of dull, repetitive motivational speeches. God spare us this endless sentimental stodge.

If a news organisation is making -200% margin after five years, it is not a commercial operation and should be assumed to have a different purpose.

Javier Milei had to beg a bail-out and already needs another. Argentina's economy is in a tailspin. Gov't bonds and peso in freefall. People starving, throwing rocks at him. Farage last year: "He's amazing. It's Thatcherism on steroids. Cutting and slashing expenditure. That's leadership." SHARE!

Bluesky isn’t perfect but at least its owner isn’t demanding violent insurrection in the UK from thousands of miles away

Keir Starmer having pensioners arrested for wearing t-shirts, but apparently quite happy to say nothing about a foreign billionaire calling for revolution, inciting political violence on the streets of London, while dozens of Police officers are hospitalised by the far-right thugs he was addressing.

Good to see Bill Bailey playing an old-fashioned acoustic typewriter. #BBCproms

I miss those optimistic times. The giddy few days, freighted with possibilities, when we thought he might be dead.

Big shout out to the preppers, whose stated reason for spending years hoarding all manner of lethal weapons, was that they would be ready for the day when the US government declared war on its own population. So, that's.... now, isn't it?

#TNTsport have completely lost the commentary for the Europa League final. Way to go.

Starmer’s strategy to challenge Reform seems to consist of pointing at them and shouting “These guys are absolutely correct!”.

By the time major media agree that it's a dictatorship, it will be so far along that they'll be afraid to call it a dictatorship.

Dammit. Someone nicked our cute lil yellow Yoonit. A mini cargo bike. Share around, and keep an eye out around Edinburgh. Shout at @cargobikemovement.bsky.social if you see it. Let's make this thing too hot to handle. Bike theft is the worst. Bike theft from a CHARITY is something else 😤

NEW: Senator Marshall (R-KS) RUNS AWAY, fleeing his own town hall after being asked about DOGE firing Veterans. MAKE HIM GO VIRAL.

I guess that, in seeking the support of the Trump administration, Zelensky’s major disadvantage is that he’s not a misogynistic, sex-trafficking rapist.

Karen asked to speak to Trump's manager and this weird guy and his kid appeared
