Boulvardier Bolshevik. Spinning tunes and sipping drams. Mediocre patter.

@tristandross Underrated tweet.

[PinguCol @PinguCol]

@LiamAStewart So many unknowns it's almost an impossible question to answer but the lack of speculation around centre mid arrivals is a little surprising, even at this early stage. Almost makes me think they're still hopeful for Devlin.

This is well worth 10 minutes of your time.

How the BBC & Guardian manufactured the worst PM in history

And the sordid reality of dark money & Gaza complicity they’re still trying to cover up:

[Grace Blakeley @graceblakeley]

For as long as Labour exists as a cartel, divorced from a mass base, it will remain a playground for lobbyists and consultants whose interests directly oppose those of the majority.

Starmer learned this lesson the hard way. Now, it's Burnham's turn.

As pundits rush to portray Keir Starmer as a ‘decent man’ overwhelmed by events, they overlook the defining feature of his political career: a willingness to deceive and betray in pursuit of power. https://t.co/Z10GILCWvm

What is an image from a film that still haunts you???

[PinguCol @PinguCol]

Always had a good time in the Dundee Arms. Solid boozer.

[PinguCol @PinguCol]

Political opinion writers, may I suggest the headline: "Northern Star or Northern Starmer"!

[PinguCol @PinguCol]

@zo_demalia Fulham or Brighton. Both teams who punch above their weight with interesting histories and likeable fans. Both great (but very different) places to watch a game if you ever make it over, and a good chance of getting tickets!

🚨 In more than 25 years of working on terrorism cases, I never thought I would see terrorism legislation used in a way that blurs the line between genuine national security concerns and the policing of political expression and protest.

The sentencing of the Filton 4 raises profound questions about the direction of our justice system. Counter-terrorism laws exist to protect the public from serious threats, not to chill political dissent, including direct action protest.

If we are not careful, we risk setting a dangerous precedent, one that many will view as driven not by principle, but by a desire to shield Israel from criticism.

I strongly oppose what happened in this case today.

[PinguCol @PinguCol]

I don't agree with all of this. Starmer pretended to be left wing before he got elected leader, Burnham is telling us openly he won't be.

[The National @ScotNational]

Is Andy Burnham really offering any change? He's been a Labour Friends of Israel member and won't talk about how he'd differ from Keir Starmer as PM. Editor Laura Webster and Political Reporter Steph Brawn discuss

[PinguCol @PinguCol]

Unclear from my timeline. Hoping someone can clarify. Is Eddie Hall big? #FuryHall

[PinguCol @PinguCol]

@KlezmerRouge @ADFoxcroft Nicknamed "The Spaghettihad"! And now called The Home of the Set Fare Arena, which is somehow even better.

[Danny Boy @Care2much18]

This is the dumbest tweet ever written by an American, an astonishing achievement given the depth of competition for that accolade.

It's hard to know where to even start.

I'll go from the top and try wade through it, to arrive at where the focus should already be. /1

[PinguCol @PinguCol]

@PerthshireMags I'll go the opposite. Scotland beat Haiti and are the only team to get three points and not get past the group stage!

[PinguCol @PinguCol]

@craigfowler86 But would you be up for paying for the extra server capacity needed to cope with the rage posting on Kickback?

[PinguCol @PinguCol]

@GerryHassan I like the term "shitflake" for this sort of thing.

[PinguCol @PinguCol]

Just seen the #usykrico stoppage and it's a bad one. This is why boxing's credibility is so low.

[PinguCol @PinguCol]

@bortinez_ Magnificent work. I salute you!

[PinguCol @PinguCol]
