Two Wigeon on the water, at a distance, the nearer one preening and in sharper focus. The far one is floating head up and forward, but slightly out of focus.

Greens overtake Labour in sensational poll The Greens have polled higher than Labour in the latest poll by YouGov, which puts them only two points off Reform UK and five ahead of the governing party.

"Of those who voted Labour [in 2024], just 37% would vote Labour again".
Read that again to absorb the full, astonishing weight of what it means.
Starmer, Reeves and co have burnt their house down.

What on earth?

Fuck this bullshit. Blocked.

Who is this someone you are talking about?

What are you on about?

Hegseth: "We're investigating that. We of course never target civilian targets."

Unless they are in small boats in the Gulf or Pacific. Of course.

You are saying Starmer has integrity? And you call me silly?

Ah, in that case, the Iranians presumably just need to sack the quarterback? And break his legs?

Northern Iceland?

The USA men are crap at football. Is he telling us the USA will lose?

They have given them all away… to someone else special! 😭😭😭

I am sure the US will give us some, what with the special relationship and all…

Bazooka that verruca!

Dear BBC, It is not “a thousand civilians have died”, it is “a thousand civilians have been killed.” That is what bombs do, you know.

Lol, they seem to have forgotten the PLO’s presence in South Lebanon in the 70s.

Is David Milliband “in“ Britain? I thought the weasel was still in the US somewhere.

Any news from Gaza?

And they have been salting the area with pesticide for weeks.

They make a desert and call it peace.

There are few things on here I hate more than someone understanding a post to mean something questionable and instead of ignoring it or asking quietly for clarification, they take a tone and assume you are the idiot.

Because he definitely wouldn’t mean it. I mean, he wouldn’t even say it, but on the very off chance.

Why? Do you think I want to be an accomplice or something?

So Ireland is getting drier?

If Starmer said that, I would be wetting myself laughing.

I kind of wished Suarez had bit Zidane or Cantona, or Tommy Smith or Graeme Souness. He would have likely needed a new set of teeth.

What athlete's expression will stay with you the rest of your life?
