If Reform had won, Labour's statement would be that this result is a stark reminder we need to listen and learn from voters who rightly feel betrayed by modern politics.

But the Greens won by a comfortable margin, so it's: these voters are stupid and also sinister and, ugh, Muslims

Many comments saying “Reform don’t seem like ‘real’ Christians to me!” But really is this what matters? Surely the point is no plural diverse democracy should base national identity on a single unshared religion! Leave the question of who is a “real” Christian to the Christians to fight out.

That disallowed spurs goal is a joke.

Well this is a lovely thread.

Got BBC News on because I hate myself and every time they say "Andrewmountbattenwindsor" I want to reach into the screen and shake them till they admit that all they're doing is letting the royals distance themselves from the royal nonce who they royally allowed to do his royal noncing for years.

So obvious that he’s trying to rehabilitate his image before leaving.

Why are we taking quick throw-ins rather than spending 30 seconds drying the ball?

Covered in mud like a rugby player already. Perfect.

When was the last time City had a call against them at Anfield? Why are the always at the top of the VAR decisions table? Why have they had 130 charges outstanding against them for three years? Mystery.

It’s just out and out cheating at this point. Now fouls count after the player has got rid of the ball? That’s not been the case in our favour all season.

Good lord.

Fucking cowards.

Whatever they offer going forward, errors at the back will always undermine it.

Up the Reds.

Used to be the best team in both boxes with a midfield which facilitated that. Now we have all the sparkly midfielders but are useless at both ends.

they have enormous governing majorities, in an extremely centralized state, for three and a half more years

it's absolutely bonkers that they don't seem particularly interested in implementing policies which can lead to greater mass affluence and greater popularity for the government

Jarring tonal shift this morning hearing @garethdennis.uk on R5, leaving the house, and getting the cold opening on the latest @wtyppod.bsky.social

Horrible little Madrid prick.

Those two decisions are absolutely scandalous.What a shitshow.

Today's announcement is the opposite of what it says it is. It's the formal cancellation of the high speed line across the Pennines.

What's left - additional TRU scope - is a good idea but should be delivered as a business as usual enhancement in 2027, not some far off fanfaron.

Shelley was just looking for a notebook and between us we have about twenty with the first page filled, and the first only, intending to finally be organised on a topic.

I Don't Like Mondays, a Garfield podcast (@idlmpodcast.bsky.social) We're here now. @wangleberry & @brainmage, a couple of microphones, a comic about a cat, and no edits. There is shockingly little Garfield content considering this is a Garfield podcast, and dammit th...

The only trouble really is that it's technically a Garfield podcast. But, don't worry, every episode they FIGHT to avoid mentioning Garfield
