Broken Britain doesn't quite seem so broken now, does it?

The first half of the Old Firm derby has been terrific. Rangers are all over Celtic.
Credit to the referee. In the English Premier League there would be a stoppage every 20 seconds.

Farage is conflating foreign born with foreign. Matt Goodwin shares his view.
Doubt Farage is talking about, say, Boris Johson or Cliff Richard.

Hannah Spencer has made an excellent analysis but without a credible solution it's just empty words.

Plucky Isabel Oakeshott is bearing up on X.
Beauty salons, Malls open which must be a relief to the pony club Katie Hopkins.

My TL contains loads of football fan comment.
It is rare for the Leeds United fanbase to be the happiest. Very rare.

You'd think one would Ayatollah H Khameini like Harry H Corbett did to distinguish himself from the Sooty guy.

Thirty odd years ago I worked in a school in Middlesbrough. One of my workmates was a young PE teacher.
I left in 1990 and the PE teacher left few years later and emigrated to Australia.
Fast forward to 2026 and his son is next into bat for Australia.
Small world.

I bet Richard Tice and Isabel Oakeshott are evacuating, too. Just hope their gaff has more than one toilet.

You don't know the credible intelligence. It goes to a different school.

When Trump's father was suffering from dementia they rigged up a dummy office so he'd think he was still in charge of the business.
It's a pity the same can't be done for his son.

Did bombing London in 1940 work? Vietnam in the 1960s? Iraq? Afghanistan?
You cannot impose a government from the air.

The attack on Iran is to provide amusement to a deeply flawed, deeply compromised cruel man.
There's no guard rails.

Hearing a Neil Sedaka song makes you feel better.
That's not a bad legacy.

Weatherspoons in Skegness is suddenly very appealing.

Anyone who has a word of criticism for the players or Farke is wrong. All operated at the ceiling of their ability.
That was a helluva display against a team assembled for the cost of the GDP of a medium sized European country.
Onwards to Tuesday and our friends from up the A19.

Only one of these two pairs of jokers admitted they got it wrong.

Might not be bursting with talent but the effort and aggression of the side is bloody great to see.

It's probably a coincidence that the only woman on the Sky Sports Saturday panel is covering the Championship game not the Prem.
Can't be ability as Sue Smith is head and shoulders above the blokes.

Lovely quote. My home town of Dewsbury is a rugby league town.

What a beautiful evocative photo.
I wonder how many of the 1000s travelling on the M62 every day are aware of the rich industrial heritage of the small towns they pass?
