🫩US media: "Bolsonaro has traveled to the US after the election." 🫪US right-wing media: "Bolsonaro has escaped political prosecution" ✍️Actual journalists: “Bolsonaro has fled Brazil as he faces multiple criminal investigations, including into money laundering.”

Sensible. The pavement outside my apartment block in Rome smells worse than a 1970’s pub toilet. www.theguardian.com/world/2026/o...

She is perfect as Press Secretary. Precisely in line with the competence of the rest of the administration.

I love Rome, but when it rains this city is the pits. Its love affair with cars means the whole city becomes gridlocked. I’ve spent an hour on buses to get approx. 6km. The bus apps are useless as the times are completely inaccurate.

Love this thread. Now, what would I do….🤔

“This is since World War II there’s been nothing like we’re doing today.” 30-days until he’s a lame duck. I cannot wait for this madness to end.

Hopefully this will mean new trees in my street. The commune actually paved over some places where trees used to be, and others are just bare patches. Shade is much needed after the increase in temperatures this summer. www.instagram.com/p/Dd6fZVDo-d...

Now that Nigel Farage has had his demands answered in the RAF Fairford investigation can we all demand an update from the Parliamentary standards commission and Met police regarding their investigations into him and Reform.

This is nothing, buses in the centre of Rome average 1.08 km/h 😂 www.theguardian.com/uk-news/ng-i...

My view is that the UK does not need the opinion of a man who sacked 450 Manchester United employees, lives abroad and doesn’t pay UK taxes, and has made racist statements in the past. www.theguardian.com/business/202...

The idea of Trump as a guardrail against anything is the definition of stupidity.

This is the way. Show the flagshaggers that they don’t represent the UK, that they are a minority, that whilst they may have an opinion it is not one we want to hear.

I can only hope that the full force of the law comes down on anyone harassing RNLI volunteers, whether it be face to face confrontation or on social media. These volunteers are the best of Britain. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

Whenever we see someone post that they're stopping their donation to the RNLI, like some right-wing virtue-signalling flex, we can't help but think of this. You can donate to the RNLI here: buff.ly/bsku22S

Men will send me emails like this and then go rampaging on the streets of Dover and Portsmouth claiming they want to keep refugees out in order to “PROTECT OUR WOMEN!” Not a single one of the young male refugees I’ve worked with has ever spoken to me with such violent misogyny.

I am bloody proud to be an #RNLI supporter and member! These brilliant men and women have quite enough to cope with without being harassed by the scum of the earth. Their only concern is to help people in danger at sea - not check passports first! Which is how it should be. Please RT if you agree🙏

Deignate them a terrorist group? Remove all Social Media access? I’m not sure what the answer is but we can’t sit idly by and let these people act either impunity. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

🚨 BREAKING: Patriot Platform, a new far right group launched by Tommy Robinson’s right hand man Daniel Thomas (AKA Danny Tommo) has blockaded the port and several roads in Dover. The masked men are from subgroups of PP, including Sussex, Essex, and South East Patriots Here’s all you need to know.

“No arrests were made during the incident”. I think the question must be, why? www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

Somewhere in England, a tired man turns off Channel 4 news and wearily puts on a bin.

I’m an atheist, and I’m more christian than this son of a bitch. The Catholic church should excommunicate him. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Here in Rome literally every car is speeding, and the motorini are going even faster. The majority of the time that is the issue, not a distracted pedestrian. www.theguardian.com/world/2026/a...

He could just as accurately have said “Andrew and Tristan are despicable nobodies. Their business model is non-existent”. Describing conning people as a business model. Nah, not going there. www.theguardian.com/news/2026/au...

1-day until Le Cure De France 2026! sportsgiving.co.uk/sponsorship/... I’m packed and on my way to join 68 other Curista’s to raise money for Le Cure France in aid of The Royal Marsden Cancer Charity. Help us reach our target - £425,925 raised so far in total and we’re still collecting!

4-days until Le Cure De France 2026! sportsgiving.co.uk/sponsorship/... For anyone who wants to help me celebrate my Birthday yesterday, this is the way! 69 Curista's will be cycling the Franch Alps once again to raise money for Le Cure De France in aid of the The Royal Marsden Cancer Charity.

Why oh why are Reporters putting up with this shit? He’s a bully, he’s a liar, call him out. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Not entirely convinced - many Italians hate being forced to take 2-weeks or more off in August when everything is overpriced., crowded and it’s stinking hot. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

It's Clacton by-election day. Or, if you prefer, Farage-Commons-standards-inquiry-reopening-eve.

For thousands of years, a solar eclipse has been a prophetic harbinger of a spectacular, epoch-making event. Just saying. #VoteBinface #Clacton

Glass houses, throwing stones, etc. According to Frontex data Italy is the entry point for the biggest number of irregular border crossings into the EU and it was very stupid of Meloni to suggest countries experiencing immigrant pressure should be punished.

So it’s a good idea then! www.theguardian.com/football/202...

They're wearing the cats.....

Who’s the owner of the building? Given that it is 37ºC inn Rome at the moment, this is, whilst legal, morally wrong. No ‘work’ will take place on the building until at least September. Public pressure needs to be put on the building’s owners. This is inhumane. www.theguardian.com/world/2026/a...

Today is Venn Day, in celebration of the mathematician John Venn, born on this day in 1834. To commemorate the occasion, here’s a poem in the form of a Venn Diagram.

Given that parts of western Europe are literally ablaze, surely the only pragmatic approsch is to go hell for leather towards net zero? www.theguardian.com/environment/...

More than half (57%) of the donations to Nigel Farage’s Reform UK since the 2024 GE have been from individuals featured in a major tax haven database 12 donors, collectively behind £16.8 mill in donations to ReFuk since July 2024…57% of the total £29.2 mill received by ReFuk over the period.

So saddened to hear of the death of Glen Hansard. Have seen him play many times here in Rome. The Irish music scene has lost a unique individual.

I have just cycled on the new cycle path in Rome along Circo Massimo and the up to the Colosseum. First part okay, apart from vans on the cycle path. The second part is a complete waste of money. Hundreds of tourists walking on the cycle path. Paint is not infrastructure.

We are all highly anticipating this reunion

These people are on crack, they must be. Everyone and everything is a conspiracy againt them in their tiny minds. Get a life. Oh, and a haircut. www.theguardian.com/world/2026/j...

Here it is. My manifesto for the 2026 Clacton By-Election. It's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Join me, clean up Clacton and let's make 13th August Bin Day! #VoteBinface #VoteyMcVoteface #YesWeTinCan

This can’t be the answer. I live in Italy and not all homes have air conditioning. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

‘I only like people that like me’. ‘I think LeBron is – maybe he’s a ‌racist’. I think we all know who the racist is. www.theguardian.com/sport/2026/j...

Everyone who uses "smart glasses" to be legally required to strap one of these to their head and light it up when the camera is on

Fox vs. PBS - How two networks covered the dramatic increase in cyclosporiasis cases. Fox described the parasite but didn't provide additional information. The PBS News Hour included an expert, Dr. Omer Awan, who said cuts to the CDC have made the outbreak much worse.
