Cricket is a game of patience, pressure, and resilience. But off the pitch, nobody has to face every ball alone. On #WorldMentalHealthDay, remember to check in on your mates, your family, and yourself. It’s okay to ask for help 💜 You are never alone. #YouAreSomerset #WMHD2026

JD Vance is sizing up a $9 million Virginia estate while preaching to the rest of us that housing is more affordable than ever. No one believes him.

"Dear Diary, The police have condemned 'unfounded, malicious speculation' about the RAF Fairford suspects. Fortunately they said nothing about baccy-stained grifters spreading lies to incite anger in a desperate bid to stay relevant"

On the BBC News Katya Adler has just described Germany, where the far right AFD keep winning elections, as entering 'uncharted political territory'. Hmmm. Where Germany is concerned I think that territory is pretty well charted.

'Facism thrives when you let it.' Portsmouth RNLI temporarily suspended services after volunteers received abuse following an anti-migration protest. @mrjamesob.bsky.social says it's one of the most 'disgusting' stories he's heard throughout his career.

I’m just a person on my fucking knees begging the government to use its absolutely massive majority to do something extremely fucking popular: save our democracy.

Riddle me this. If somebody donates £36 million to a political party and £5 million to its leader, how is the £5 million not political? Asking for a parliamentary standards commissioner.

9/11 victim Michael Massaroli’s son: "You do my dad's legacy & the legacy of all victims no honor using this tragedy to spread hate. I've had to spend 25 years seeing people use it to hate on our Muslim brothers & sisters, people who don't look like them."

This German comedy sketch (with English subtitles) perfectly captures so much of what is going on right now in the UK, the US, and across Europe. "Playing the 'Nazi Card' in the Third Reich", by Browser Ballett.

I'm old enough to remember Nigel Farage ruling out any association with Le Pen's lot "now or in the future" because he considered them "far right". But I guess that's ok now. Here is what he said in 2013 and 2015.

The number of asylum seekers being housed in hotels is down by 50%. And the backlog of people who have claimed asylum is down from 175,000 to 40,000, the lowest since 2019. But we mustn’t let facts get in the way of spreading fear and hatred and coming up with crackpot policies.

If you're after a hard rocking groove then it has to be Jet by Wings - The band The Beatles could have been. Or if you want a more jive orientated tune, then you really cant go wrong with Mmmbop by Hanson, a sure fire winner at any Young Norfolk Farmers Disco.

Cutting car pollution helps kids. Reform have spent all their time in London fighting against this. The Right want freedom to do exactly what they want, even if other people suffer for it.

Our exciting new announcement is that we want to cut benefits for disabled people! This will help to fund our plan to slash capital gains tax on crypto assets from 24% to 10%, benefitting crypto billionaires like Christopher Harborne, who coincidentally gave me £5m.

Let’s remember today that Nigel Farage wants to - leave the ECHR - repeal the Equality Act - Strip back workers rights - Lift restrictions on exploitative zero-hours contracts - repeal the Renters’ Rights Act which abolishes “no fault evictions” He is not on your side youtu.be/KxOQRt8PQys?...

"I said it's a bold move by Reform to use the Navy to return migrants. What did I say Roy?" "You said it's an unworkable load of bollocks designed to win back some racist numbskulls from Rupert Lowe and distract attention from Farage's £5m bung"

Someone told me to stop complaining. This is the view from our house last night towards several villages on fire. Never stop complaining! This is not normal.
