Vox Pops 'Tired looking guy'

"Well I was crossing the road, and I saw this big Black guy staring at me oddly, at 8am"

Reform Spokesperson thinks....

Actually, THAT'S more the kind of story we were thinking. Sit down Nadhim.

Nah.

O'Neil is like getting a Chopper Bike out of the garage and enjoying the fact that it still works and has bags of sentimental charm. But he ain't not plan for the future

Sometimes I'm offended that I'm not swanning around shows like QI offering my Oscar-Wilde of Maryhill to the masses.

Revealed: Corporate donations to British politics have tripled Influential Labour committee chairs call on government to clean up politics as our new analysis finds record £42 million in company donations ahead of last election

🔴 Exclusive: Corporate donations British parties tripled over last three elections

But here's key thing: almost none is from FTSE500/listed companies

It's almost all companies controlled by super-wealthy individuals, or small, opaque firms

Celtic must have a wee eye on Askou.
What he's done at Motherwell is impressive.

Be shocked if this Celtic team win the league.
But we go on.

Rotherham council accused of ignoring ‘flag terror’ with £500 grants for St George’s and union flags Labour council says flags must not be ‘surrendered’ to far right but there are concerns in town hit by racial tension

The Labour Party should just get a room with Farage and get on with it.

Oh look, we have a tax-dodging British billionaire who resides in Monaco telling you it’s the immigrants that are stealing all of britains resources, not tax dodging billionaires who reside in fucking Monaco.

Fuck off, Rat.

This man is truly despicable.
Huge polluter, morally repugnant, zero responsibility

What ever happened to Noam Chomsky ?

A striker,

I hope I'm wrong.....

Crystal Palace agree £48m deal for Strand Larsen as Mateta heads for Milan medical Wolves have accepted Palace’s £48m bid which opens door to Jean-Philippe Mateta’s Milan move, while Arne Slot wants a versatile defender

Crystal Palace. Spending £48m. On one player.
Staggering.

Looks like the Scots aren't really fond of Tr*mp.

I think Eddie Mair is a brilliant broadcaster, but he used to present PM as if every news story was a set up for a dry remark. He was very good at it, but again, the inflection was - everything is contemptable

"Those who were violent and those who were not have equal responsibility to be nonviolent" should lead to some pretty obvious conclusions. Unless you're NYT editorial in which case, "both the perpetrators and the victims had a responsibility not to do it but never mind who did it."

Understand that O’Neil is a practical manager ( rather than a purist ).

But feels like there’s no desire to pass at all. It’s all just BLOOTERING.

#Celtic

I get that O’Neil is about simple blootering up the park, but it’s pretty limited

He’s not done much but

Arajuo looking like a good signing #Celtic

Whilst Trumps comments that #NATO troops were insulting & thick, the performative pearl clutching is instructive.

After the dismal silence on

genocide
Breaking international law
Threatening Europe
ICE

….a reason to be critical of Trump that the establishment can get fully behind.

White House posts digitally altered image of woman arrested after ICE protest Guardian analysis shows images are the same, with Nekima Levy Armstrong looking composed in original but sobbing after alteration

This story is staggering.

At first - you're like....OMG - the US government is - Soviet Style - warping images for ideological propaganda.

But think of the ramifications - given this was a small story, imagine they are doing to the #Epsteinfiles?

Farage uses term “retreating icecaps” in his disingenuous remarks on Trump and Greenland. A word useful to climate deniers and equivocators who can’t confirm acceptance of warming. “Retreat” sounds like the ice has agency. It doesn’t. It’s melting because human actions are causing it to melt.

“The Board of Peace has rejected your plea for peace assistance due to your poor location.”

No matter how many times you hear him, #Trump is staggeringly moronic and boorish.

Neoliberalism - you gave us this. You own it.

trite & dismal
