We’re at the performative stage of fouls masquerading as ‘trying’. Try playing football.

Are these commentators watching a different game?
Spurs on top since the goal, you wouldn’t know it listening #coys

Wow - those are quite phenomenal headlines given the details of the story.

Ahh look, he’s just a ‘nerdy’ guy. No harm done.

You need to scroll down to paragraph 13 of the Sky piece to find the full story!

How the simmering UK freedom of speech row reached boiling point How did we reach a point where the UK is being compared to a 'tin pot Third World dictatorship'?

What on Earth is this? An "in depth" BBC article about free speech in the UK that only cites examples of right-wing/ 'anti-woke' speech being suppressed. How can you mention Lucy Connolly but completely ignore Palestine Action / Just Stop Oil? Gob-smacking. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Farage is content with allowing people to be murdered and tortured. I'm not on that side and never will be.

When I’ve used the programme before, I tended to to do anything that structured/intermittent on a treadmill - I live in a very flat area so hills hard to come by. Whacking up the gradient on a treadmill much easier.

In more ways than we might think, five-Test series are actually perfect for the modern age. Watching seven hours a day more or less. Five days at a stretch. Over six to eight weeks. Read on: https://bit.ly/4mCRPrj

New study exposes faultlines among Reform UK’s voters A major new study to examine the motivations, priorities and life experiences of potential Reform UK voters has identified five distinct groups among Reform’s support

“What binds those thinking about voting Reform is not ideology but shared emotion - a mix of anger, betrayal, disgust, & despair. This is not a policy platform. ReformUK’s appeal lies in exploiting these emotions not offering solutions" @liambyrnemp.bsky.social

While appealing to some, I need to work on more accessible running routes. But Stopping to walk through the thickest parts & look at map options always a great excuse to catch a breather

CLOSE: From 0/2, Somerset end day one 338/4 from 93.3 overs thanks to a record partnership between James Rew (162*) and a career-best 156 from Tom Abell! 👏👏👏

Farage promises to build more jails by Our Reform Correspondent Nick Money BRITAIN'S next prime minister, Nigel Farage, has vowed to expand the prison service to deal with the increasing lawlessness in Broken Britain. Farage said it was imperative that we have more prisons to accommodate law-breakers such as Reform MPs. Said Farage, "No, let me finish! We are looking at hundreds more Reform MPs after the next election, and with our vetting systems we are guaranteed to have a vast number of criminal members of Parliament, who have stolen public money or pushed their girlfriends down the stairs." When asked how much all this would cost, the Reform leader explained in great detail that he didn't have a clue and couldn't care less. Farage also promised to send the worst offenders to El Salvador, following a successful pilot programme sending Reform supporters to live in Dubai.

When so much of the media rolls out the comfy red carpet for Farage, Private Eye trips him up and milkshakes him.
Be more Private Eye.

He went on to be an important sire, whose leading runners included Epsom Derby winners Waxy, Champion, and Tyrant. He is best known for the unusual spelling of his name, pronounced Potatoes.
