It's tragic that a decent PM will be brought down by Mandelson's sleaze - but it's a matter of when, not if Polly Toynbee

When I paid my annual subscription for “Force-feeding the British public Peter Mandelson’s sleaze in ten easy steps,”, I did not expect that the British public would then be force-fed Mandelson’s sleaze. This is an outrage and a tragedy

that was over two days ago tbf… we move quickly when we’re the ones hijacking 😅

Not only are they arresting journalists now, but they're gloating about it too.

It's obvious where this is all going

John Bishop calls for boycott over World Cup in Trump’s America John Bishop calls for boycott over World Cup in Trump’s America

John Bishop calls for boycott over World Cup in Trump’s America

1. Whether Maduro is a dictator

2. Whether Venezuelans deserve a better leader

3. This does not justify U.S. intervention

4. It is destabilizing & hostile

5. It has untold consequences

6. And WE are an unstable government currently run by a tyrant aligned with Putin - not the democratic west 🧵

Times New Roman has since been deported back to Italy.

It’s not that Mo can’t be fitted into the side, it’s that he’s been absolutely terrible. He can’t take his place in the team for granted, especially when he offers no real defensive contribution, nor any off-the-ball efforts. Well & truly thrown his toys out the pram here!

Spain, Ireland and Netherlands to boycott Eurovision after Israel retains place Major European nations pull out of song contest after calling for country’s exclusion over conduct of war in Gaza

Russia was removed from Eurovision in 2022 over its invasion of Ukraine, but Israel is still allowed to compete despite being an apartheid state committing a genocide in Gaza.

Good on Spain, Ireland, and the Netherlands. I’m sure they won’t be the last to announce a boycott.

Be clear, the American far right are coming for British democracy.

Slightly, not that we would’ve deserved that goal anyway 😆

Heard he was good in the Aladdin live action…

I’m sure William can more than cover the UK’s fair share while he’s over there, given that we’d have the public money for it if we taxed his family adequately

Slot has found perfect solution to Liverpool's Wirtz problem Florian Wirtz's left-wing role against Real Madrid looks like the answer to a number of problems Arne Slot has faced this season.

Allowed to operate in the spaces where he announced himself as a world-class talent, Florian Wirtz created more chances and covered more ground than any other player against Real Madrid. Using him off the left is a solution to a lot of Liverpool's issues.

A sky news alert showing Louis Theroux and Bob Vylan, which states that British Airways are pulling funding from Theroux's podcast over his interview with Bob Vylan.

Louis Theroux has interviewed actual literal murderers before, but a musician with views that the British establishment don't like is just a step too far for British Airways.

Sunday’s derby between Maccabi Tel Aviv and Hapoel Tel Aviv was cancelled due to “public disorder and violent riots”, Israeli police announced.

‘Businessman’ is offensive term, says OECD Paris-based economists told to focus on ‘real problems’ instead of ‘linguistic gatekeeping’ after publication of inclusive language guide.

I hate to say it but The Telegraph is running its regular 'woke nonsense' story again. It's *literally* the same story every week, even down to the same cast of talking heads describing it as Marxist thought policing or leftist linguistic gatekeeping.

Werder Bremen beat Hamburg 2-0 in the Frauen-Bundesliga on Saturday.

Werder Bremen captain Medina Desic came up with a new way of goading rivals after full-time.

Don’t think even your presence on talkshite could make me listen in

Norway vs Israel was months in the planning for authorities, but politics seeped through Officials from both teams discussed Gaza and the controversy of Saturday's game, while there were protests and a small number of arrests

This was no ordinary World Cup qualifier. Norway’s discomfort in hosting Israel was clear and an enormous security operation was deemed necessary in Oslo.

The prospect of peace in Gaza has moved closer in the last week, but Norway told the world again that its alliance is with Palestinian people.

Ahh! but Iceland has long been a very progressive nation, you see! 😂

Finally a positive change to the footie calendar
