It wasn't the loss, it wasn't the opponent, it wasn't even the match, it was the finish that has pissed people off.

Cena's career ended with a 10 min sequence of sleeper hold to aa, it was boring to watch and I love Gunther.

This immediately makes me wonder what Rory was like as a teenager…

David Lammy accuses Labour MP Zarah Sultana of "click baiting" after she quizzed him on continued arms exports to Israel.

Is it click bait to hold the government to account or is it just doing your job as an elected representative?

Imagine calling yourself the master race and have to resort to erasing the achievements of minorities to make yourself feel better.

Pandering to the far right doesn't weaken then, it strengthens them. We should know this by now.

People worried Assisted Dying would be a slippery slope. I kinda hope it is, cos I'd love to be able to write a living will that allowed me to be medically "offed" if I end up with dementia. It's not how I'd want to be, or my family have to care for me like that.

My decision, yours might differ.

We need real Labour MPs, not exploitative landlords.

βœ… Should: 42%
❌ Should not: 14%

Greens (76%) are keenest to see him arrested.

Dana Goldberg post:

I have shared the same bathroom with Sarah McBride on several occasions, and she never once made me uncomfortable. She did however help me fix my makeup. That congresswoman knows how to blend her foundation, which is more than I can say about Donald Trump.

They say the cover up is always worse.

The ICC produces arrest warrants for Netanyahu for crimes against humanity.

Labour, like the Tories and Biden, will be remembered as being on the wrong side of genocide.

This country would be a much better place if more of our politicians had the integrity and compassion that John Prescott had.

BREAKING! 🚨

The Rail Public Ownership Bill has been passed by Parliament! βœ…

This landmark Bill is the first major step towards publicly owned Great British Railways, which will put passengers first and drive up standards.

To be clear:

It's Β£1m untaxed, plus Β£325k of standard tax free inheritance.

You can double that if the farmer is married.

So farmers can hand down Β£2.65m tax free, and their kids pay 20% on everything else.

Tax on your job is 40% over Β£50k

"Land owner" is not a job
