The post-FT punch-up on the pitch was the most entertaining bit…

Booed off. Not good

Nigel Farage Is a Racist The media is refusing to state the most bleedingly obvious facts about a man whose entire career has been devoted to pursuing a racist political agenda

"It appears that the only people who ever have to apologise for Farage’s long history of racism, are the people who dare to call it out."

On the anniversary of The Battle of Cable Street, let us remember that the Daily Mail was cheering on Fascists then and continues that proud tradition today.

Today in 1983 Stanislav Petrov saved the human race.

On duty at the Soviet early warning command centre, he refused to warn superiors of radar reports of an incoming US strike. It proved to be a false alarm. If the Soviets had responded it would have been all out nuclear war.

<Cough> Support the Green Party instead?

Reform, with 0.7% of all MPs, featured in 25% of BBC's recent 10pm news bulletins Astonishingly, a party with 18 times as many MPs as Reform has received one-third less coverage on BBC News at 10.

British media pumps out daily propaganda pieces for Farage, fails to offer *any scrutiny* and basically legitimises rampant racism, then puts on its ‘innocent face’ and clutches its pearls at the rise of the far right…
What a grim betrayal of our democracy.

I tuned in briefly last night. Turned off again when she interrupted to point out that although Bonny Greer got a round of applause, not everyone was clapping. Seen QT since Robin Day, but never heard that kind of intervention before

Went to @wildtwin.bsky.social’s Haunted Paper exhibition in Liverpool this afternoon. Truly magical.

Just remembered what talking to ChatGPT reminds me of

Or even ‘died’

Fantastic! Enough for nostalgia, but not enough to include that toe-curling adolescent poem of mine that Sounds published after John Lennon diesel

Done!

Wild Twn won!

Excellent! More than deserved.

Very nice. Far and away the coolest person in the punk era

Call it the Richarlison Quotient

I bore people silly about that book every time we take a stroll down the Mersey from New Brighton. It's fascinating, although the second part when it turns into a mystery story is a bit lame

Never a Corbyn fan, but I remember Hyde popping up a day or two before the GE in which he was Labour leader with a column reminding her readers about all the antisemitism accusations. It brought home to me how much The Guardian is a pressure valve for progressives. Vent but don't change anything

Top left Poulton Lancelyn? The old Brew House?

For a split second I interpreted that as cut back on the Fascist Barbies like the one on Newsnight last evening

My irony meter just exploded listening to former Chairman of the National Young Conservatives #NickRobinson trying to discredit the Birmingham binmen’s leader on #BBCToday for having once been a member of the Socialist Party

Good to see Reform have no shortage of candidates in the local elections.
