Genuinely chuffed for Harry, the first English winner of the Ballon d'Or in 25 years. What a player, and he's battled hard for everything he's achieved. 👏😁 BBC News - Harry Kane: Bayern Munich and England striker wins Ballon d'Or after record season - BBC Sport www.bbc.co.uk/sport/footba...

This is such great news on a Monday morning, congratulations and well done Brazil! 👏😁 BBC News - www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cm... Brazil election live: Lula defeats Bolsonaro - follow latest - BBC News

As well as being a detestable nazi, he's also an utter weasel (no offence to actual weasels) isn't he. I can totally see him trying to throw everyone else under the bus to save his own skin. I hope it's keeping him awake at night, and giving him the mother of all ulcers.

That's King Little Grovelling Bastard now. 😏 Maybe one day, eh! 🤔

I'd love to be able to disagree with Ian but I can't. I'm desperate for the Dems to get a huge victory, and for the decent Americans to have decent people back in charge... but American society is broken and won't be fixed by new leadership. It's so sad, but the USA can't be trusted any more. 😞

When you look at Trump and Obama, it's even more hilarious and mind-blowing that white supremacy is a "thing". Trump is infinitely inferior to Obama in body, mind, spirit, values, and anything else you'd like to name... and anyone who can't see that is living in a state of delusion.

The relief of the manager of my football club, so comprehensively out of his depth, being sacked is palpable... but the knowledge that we have an owner leeching off the club & a bunch of players with an utterly shocking & unprofessional attitude remains. I don't recognise my club right now #Burnley

This is the petition to save Square Chapel for the people of Halifax, West Yorkshire. This cause is close to my heart - please sign: www.megaphone.org.uk/petitions/sa...

This is a great cause for the local area, you're a bobbydazzler Reece! If anyone out there could show this amazing project some support I'd really appreciate it. #SaveSquareChapelArts #Halifax

Sixty years ago, 116 children and 28 adults lost their lives in the Aberfan disaster. Today, we remember those who died, their loved ones, and a community forever changed by this tragedy. The stars in the night sky symbolise those whose memory lives on. Cofiwch Aberfan.

I'm always saying this, and nobody ever takes it seriously. Imagine how much better our infrastructure would be if people just paid the amount of tax they are supposed to. I've always been happy to pay my taxes, it's fair and just, but I resent the selfishness of those who avoid paying their due.

That 76% of Republicans approve of Trump says everything. Getting rid of Trump is essential but he's a symptom of the poison, not the cause. The Republican Party is an extremist organisation, and its supporters aren't going anywhere.

Stedfast Church (shoot the Gays) is smashing Catholic status, got a half million views in a few days. Christianity is tending towards violence. dallasgayliberation.substack.com/p/stedfast-c...

Abdul shows again how impressive he is. That answer, in content and tone, was perfect. Good luck to him, and I hope his words and actions motivate other politicians to actively challenge the bigotry, intolerance, and idiocy that's now inherent in society, and those who peddle it.

I see it's #NoKings Day in the USA today. Is it the fourth one? Ok I'm going to say it. I really hope that everyone who can possibly get out there and protest does so, it's such an important message to send... but four single days of protest in response to what's going on is not enough. Sorry. 😞

Great question. There have been many excellent questions asked by journalists from many countries towards members of the US administration. Is it too much to ask that American media start asking some too, rather than waiting for others to do it when the admin members are abroad? 🤔😏

We respect decent and inspirational politicians, Obama could sell out any arena in Britain. The respect we have for Obama is diametrically opposite to the contempt pretty much everyone has here for Trump. Obama is everything Trump could never be, and it boils Trump's piss every single day.

What an utterly shameful headline, that's really blown my mind. 🤬

I'm in no way a royalist, but today of all days it's great to see this picture and the message it sends. Slava Ukraini! 👊

The kind of men who are tired of seeing "I am Jane Doe" posts are, at a minimum, lacking any kind of empathy or respect... and in many cases it will be even worse than that.

NEW: Prime Minister Andy Burnham finally breaks a decade of UK govt silence…& reveals there was ‘clear’ Russian interference in the Brexit vote. 1/

Time for Zelenskyy to take his gloves off and say the blatant truth that must be said in the bluntest way possible, that Trump is a Russian asset. And then the international community apart from rogue states (Russia, North Korea, USA) needs to express unequivocal support for Zelenskyy and Ukraine.

20 months on and nothing changes eh, except the importance of standing by him and Ukraine! #IStandWithZelenskyy

Q. What kind of country places sanctions on the International Criminal Court (ICC)? A. A criminal one, a rogue state!

Sagal Abdi-Wali came to the UK aged 7 having fled the war in Somalia with her family. She has thrived. Leader of Camden council and now the MP for Holborn and St Pancras. A narrative that runs counter to all we are told about refugees. Congratulations www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

"What's causing it is unclear" What? Seriously? What's causing it is oppression!!! Those poor kids don't feel safe to identify in whichever way they choose because of the culture war rhetoric and propaganda of the RW cabal and the subsequent enabling of bigots everywhere.

I think he and Miller are furious that all their dog whistling hasn't created even more trouble than it has... and they're pushing the boundaries further each day to foment the violence they're so desperate to see.

You should go and see Rachel. She's very good, but also, the balls it takes to do a post like this - in a climate where comedians are encouraged to post nothing but wins, forever - merits your attendance on its own.

I've no problem with this, it's fair to report on this on the anniversary. My issue is the consistent lack of coverage about Palestinian suffering over the three years. BBC News - Residents of kibbutz destroyed in 7 October Hamas-led attacks grapple with how to rebuild www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

That goal was a thing of beauty! 😍 #engcze

This is really bad, but when would it ever be appropriate for one person to mind 27 children? If that's legal then surely it shouldn't be. 🤔 www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

This gets my vote for the best thing I've seen on the Internet today:

My mum has severe Alzheimer's and it's so hard. She is in a care home now and I see her at least once a week... but I'm never quite sure which mum I'm going to see until I get there. It's draining and heartbreaking, and it takes a special kind of crass person to joke about it. Not surprised it's MG

Tensions are rising each day aren't they, we must all support each other against the growing threat from Russia (and lack of interest from America).

The perfect encapsulation of Natalie's relationship with Trump... especially given Trump's antichrist tendencies and similarities to Damien. 🤔

All these Christian Nationalists who blurt out "god's will" every other sentence...Christa Pike survived two attempts to kill her by lethal injection, using their logic doesn't it mean that it's god's will that she isn't killed? 🤔

I think the EU countries have been brilliant about this, and are sending all the right signals. Come on Britain, let's do this!

Ok... I'm getting the tiniest tingle of optimism here (it's the hope that kills you).

Released on bail? It was already intriguing but there's no way they'd be released on bail if they were a credible terrorist threat...so what's the story? 🤔

Unwell and was supposed to be in London Anyone able to get to British museum for 12:50 I have 1 free ticket to the tapestry if you want it, DM me, they might ask for ID, they might not, either way its free
