I was one of a million people marching against Brexit back in 2019. Fuck of a lot of difference it made. I fear the poor dears waving flags around in London today are going to be disappointed…

How Wright and Hayes double act helped ITV triumph at Euro 2025 ITV's match picks have seen it screen the Lionesses' dramatic semi-final as well as key group stage games and pull in its biggest viewing figures of 2025

Can’t believe the disrespect the President of Ukraine is being shown… hectored by idiots who have no understanding of what he and his people are going through.

Of course the new sub should be called Achilles and not Agincourt. English people don’t know how to pronounce Agincourt.

Kennedy speaking at his inauguration, looking young and vital.

Kennedy speaking at his inauguration, looking young and vital.

Jan 20, 1961. A blizzard the day before. Temperatures well below freezing. Without a coat or hat, JFK gave a speech we still quote today. Robert Frost, 86, recited a poem. Steinbeck and Hemingway and Rothko were among the VIPs. A million people gathered in the cold to hear it.
This is the precedent.

A photo of the front cover of issue 1640 of Private Eye magazine with the headline "GROOMING SCANDAL LATEST." The cover features an image of Elon Musk and Nigel Farage standing together, each with speech bubbles. Elon Musk says, "You’re not the far-right man for the job," while Nigel Farage says, "He lured me in, promised me money, and then abandoned me!" The subheading teases, "INSIDE: HOW TO SHED 100 MILLION POUNDS IN A DAY!"

Sure it was shit.

Yeah it cost billions and achieved sweet FA.

But at least they owned the "wokes".

‘Art should be immersive
Always filled with passion,
And not the preserve
Of privileged detachment’ - Peter Perrett in ‘Art is a disease’. Bloody hell, I think the great man’s nailed it there…

A minimalist illustration showing a packaged charger box labeled "one Union one Charger." The box features an image of a blue charger with the European Union flag symbol and a USB-C cable. The scene is set within a holiday theme, with decorative Christmas trees, ornaments, and gift boxes surrounding the charger box. In the top right corner, there is a small EU flag symbol.

It’s time for THE charger.

Today, the USB-C becomes officially the common standard for charging new mobile electronic devices in the EU.

It means better-charging technology, reduced e-waste, and less fuss to find the chargers you need!

When did it become obligatory for sports commentators to say “watching on” and not “watching” which means exactly the same?

The DFL has just closed a new €4.4bn deal for rights to the Bundesliga - and Omdia’s forecast of a 3% uplift was pretty damn close
