👏 The Bayern Munich squad gave Harry Kane a guard of honour as the Ballon d'Or winner returned to action for Bayern Munich for the first time since his historic triumph. 🏆❤️
Six years ago, Yaxley Lennon harassed Byline writers Mike Stuchbery and Tim Fenton so badly that they eventually left the country. (He also promised to pay me a visit!)
Anyone condoning these kinds of tactics doesn't believe in a free press. It's a license for thuggery.
I don't turn off replies ever. But on X, a vortex of right wing bile and imagined violence, I do turn off random replies from people I don't know or follow. Look at replies to this (when I forgot to do) and you'll see why.
It takes ages to block the bigots
Lovely irony - the party that loves to hate on foreigners, loves ‘foreign' money. 80% of Reform donations fit that description apparently - money from people or companies not based here. Obvs the donor screening at Reform HQ doesn't include the question - Are you Local, Little England style..:)
Many people didn't see that Russia was attacking our data and cyberspace over a long period of time. Then we found a way to weaken Russia's strategy, to respond to their attacks on data. We are different here. Ukraine is more technologically advanced. The Russians attacked our data centers so many times, and still we had cell service and an Internet connection. Because we are digitally decentralized and advanced. Our responses are more painful for Russia because they are more centralized. They have a different strategy. Because they have a lot of air defense assets, they are simply defending what they have. We don’t have too much air defense – we have a shortage. That is why we decentralized everything, not only data. But we always try to respond and do so only after Russian attacks against us.
From an interview with The Sun. (3/3)
"Elon Musk is a brilliant person—truly, simply brilliant." Putin praised the American billionaire.
What does it mean when the worst mass murderer since Hitler praises you?
⚡️Putin calls Musk 'genius' as Ukraine recovers from Starshield throttling.
"I want to point out that Elon Musk is a genius, a real genius," Putin said, praising the billionaire's vast satellite network as Russia scrambles to develop its own answer to Starlink.

A non-eventful Budget. Whether that's a good thing or not depends on your politics. It's unlikely to depress the Burnham bounce, but it doesn't grapple with the big issues.
@ProfAliceS if you go to @Cambridge_Uni can you investigate why is it acceptable for @jtworr to introduce students to Peter Thiel - an ex friend/business associate of Epstein?

Non existent guardrails.
Trump & Republicans would rather make you ration your meds & skip a doctor’s appointment than make a billionaire pay their fair share.
In the richest country in the world, healthcare shouldn't be a privilege for the rich, it should be a right for all.
We need Medicare for All.
🚨 SOUTH CAROLINA SHOCKER!
NYT/Siena poll reportedly shows a DEAD HEAT:

Trump is reportedly heading to South Carolina tomorrow as the race tightens.
A dramatic contest with Election Day approaching!
MAGA Republican Vivek Ramaswamy’s campaign for Ohio governor appears to be stumbling to the finish line, including the loss of a major endorsement and venue cancellations, amid mounting fallout from his attack ad. https://t.co/eLtXZpTkx9
Trump/Vance seem obsessed with tearing down @AbdulElSayed with lies, claiming he’s a “jihadist” & he’ll lead Paris-like riots in Detroit—they’re obviously scared of his phenomenal ability to get voters inspired on health care, anti-war,affordability issues

Today's Budget is good news for Londoners.
Support for the Bakerloo line extension, upgrading Euston Station and making Stratford International truly international are all welcome plans from the Chancellor.
Talarico: “Ken Paxton is funded by one dude. Elon Musk wants our land. He wants our water. He wants our tax dollars. He wants his very own personal United States Senator. He is trying to buy Texas.”
