If you needed further proof that Trump is a Russian asset, look no further than JD Vance visiting Hungary to support Orban immediately before their general election.

supreme accidental comic timing in Commons just now during PMQs: Keir Starmer: “there is only one party leader who has shown he will say anything, no matter how divisive, if he is paid to do so” Speaker (calling the next question): “Nigel Farage”

Dame Jenni Murray obituary

We'll deserve it if we finish third in the SPFL this season. We've been bang average throughout and the lack of quality is evident all over the park. We need a complete overhaul and rebuild, like in Martin's and Brendan's first stints. Only saving grace is that we have the funds required. #Celtic

Dame Jenni Murray was the main reason I listened to Woman's Hour regularly and avidly. After her departure, I never felt the same again about the programme and stopped listening altogether some time ago. May she rest in peace. She was a peerless broadcaster.

Watching Pete Hegseth on TV 📺 (for about the five seconds I could stomach it), I'm more than certain that he wouldn't last five minutes in a Glasgow bar without having his coupon slapped a few times for being such an ****hole. 100% certain.

I agree fully. Labelling the Greens as extremists and equating them with Reform is pathetic, embarrassing and reeks of desperation, showing a complete inability to understand the feelings of most people across the UK. We shouldn't wait till the May elections to replace a failed leadership.

Labour MP Clive Lewis doesn’t hold back on the Gorton and Denton result in this interview with ITV

That Stephen Welsh last minute loan back to Motherwell was a stroke of pure genius. 😁👌 #MOTRAN

www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... I fear that the 'I dinnae ken' argument is being used too often and is diminishing in credibility with its use.

Anas Sarwar has simply voiced the settled view of large swathes of Scottish Labour voters, who've already abandoned us, and of a significant number of party members all across Scotland. Our UK government, led by Keir, has robbed us of the chance to be in government at Holyrood come May.

How's VAR not given a penalty on Haaland I'll never know. Scandalous! #TOTMCI

Marc Guéhi is sheer quality! #TOTMCI

Why's Rubem Amorim out before Wilfried Nancy? Unfathomable! 🫣🫣🫣

A little list of some of my favourite words for the season. Some beautiful, others potentially necessary. I hope you enjoy them as much as I do.

Gianni Infantino, the FIFA supremo, encapsulates and exemplifies almost everything that's wrong with the people's game, football ⚽️. So very far away from ordinary supporters across the world 🌎. Tonight, however, he could lower still his standards of behaviour. Let's see 👀

Alf Dubs is a 92 year old man who spent his life fighting for refugees, and in particular for refugee children. He fought the Tories tooth and nail during their last three terms, only to see Labour adopt far-right policies on immigration. “But to use children as a weapon ... I’m lost for words.”

Plans to leave refugees in a state of perpetual uncertainty about where and if they can rebuild their lives are not just performative cruelty, they are counterproductive to integration and the economy. It doesn’t have to be like this - 1/2

The Prime Minister said in September that we are at a fork in the road. These asylum proposals suggest we have taken the wrong turning. The idea that recognised refugees need to be deported is wrong. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

Scotland once again putting us through the wringer tonight but God is good and we have a Hampden decider on Tuesday. #GreeceVScotland #TartanArmy #BonnieScotland

All aboard the Scotland roller-coaster…

This is the real threat to BBC impartiality. A weekend read by me setting the shambles of the last fortnight in proper context www.prospectmagazine.co.uk/ideas/media/...

Robbie Gibb was appointed to the BBC Board by Boris Johnson, was an editorial advisor for GB News, and worked as Theresa May's Director of Comms. He is not impartial or neutral. The government should remove him from the Board immediately to protect the BBC's independence.

Ah the 1970s. Stagflation, three day weeks, collapsing infrastructure. Civil War in Northern Ireland. In yer face racism and bigotry everywhere. Bin strikes. Strikes in general. Blackouts. Industrial decline. Wage inequality. Dog crap everywhere. And households spent 25% of their income on food.

Nobody watches the #BBC. Clearly. It produces nothing of interest or value for anyone in the UK.

Maybe Keir should demand the heads of major US news networks any time they imply Britain is on the brink of civil war or that we live under sharia law. Or does it not work both ways?

MPs urge Reeves to tax online betting games to reflect the harm they cause

In a final letter to San Francisco, Rep. Nancy Pelosi, who made history as the nation’s first female speaker of the House and twice served in that top job, says she will not seek re-election in 2026.

The promise given was a necessity of the past: the promise broken is a necessity of the present. Machiavelli

How we won that game tonight at Hampden, and 3-1 and all, is a bigger mystery than that of the Marie Celeste. 🤔🤭😲😂 Scotland versus Greece in 2026 World Cup qualifiers.

I was hoping against hope tonight that Scotland would not lose versus Greece at Hampden but we've been second best by a country mile. Then, Christie goes and equalises! 😲😲😲

My clear sense about 2026 World Cup qualification is let's not lose our home games versus Greece and Denmark. ☝️🙏 #Scotland #HampdenPark

Kasper Schmeichel is way past his sell-by date and his mistakes are dragging the whole team down. Naturally, Rodgers will stick by him and the odd good save here and there will keep him from being dropped. We knew we needed a decent keeper back in May. #Celtic #Braga

"It's not my intention to fill the airwaves with a running commentary on the government…But equally I don't think we should shy away from having this conversation right now because clearly there are things that aren't working." 👇me @manchestereveningnews.co.uk t.co/Mll15mdfZI

“Hate breeds when those in power are silent. I implore you and other ministers to speak out urgently in defence of our migrant communities and our multicultural society more generally." — Nick Lowles, CEO, HOPE not hate www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Ekechi Iheanacho has evidently lost his way over the past couple of seasons but he's still young and his profile - strong, fast and uncompromising - is what our attack needs. He has significant EPL experience and that's no joke. I, for one, hope he proves himself and makes a positive contribution.

Turgid affair at Ibrox earlier today, reflecting the impact on the hosts of the Club Brugge mauling on Wednesday and the Kairat Almaty disaster aftermath on the visitors. An utterly awful game of football.

Absolutely rotten Celtic performance tonight against Kairat Almaty. We don't deserve anything from this game and the tie overall. A mediocre side of committed and hard working players stopped us from scoring. And terrible Idah first penalty kills us. 😡

I'm no big fan of Gavin Newsom's but my goodness I'm enjoying myself silly 😜 following up on his trolling of the orange turd. As a sociopathic narcissist, he must be going crazy seeing himself mocked so effectively by the Governor of California. Chapeau! 👌😎

What a travesty! The wasteful misuse of state resources to suppress legitimate peaceful protests shames us all.

Why would anyone be surprised at a man who's a moral vacuum cheating at golf, a game of integrity and abiding by the rules?

A police station in Chile adopts an orphaned baby llama.

I really object to those Labour MPs who are opposing cuts to disability benefits being tagged as 'rebels'. They are not rebelling against the government but rather simply representing the widely held views of party members and voters. Bravo!

I swear every time I see a push notification from BBC news it’s some version of: ‘Reform may have lost an election/suffered a massive blow/erupted into civil war…but here is why its actually good news for Farage’s party’

Well done PSG on winning the Champions League 🏆 with an astonishing victory over an overwhelmed Inter Milan. That genius of a manager, Luis Enrique, wins his second elite level treble. 🏆 🏆 🏆 #ChampionsLeague #LuisEnrique

“Without widespread theft, my industry can’t survive” is an argument against your industry surviving, and is not an argument for allowing widespread theft
