Never knew this about Modric.

Quite nervous for the game tomorrow. By far the biggest game PSG have had since I started supporting them this morning

[Torsten Bell @TorstenBell]

Blair putting on full display what is in many ways his special ability - to lay out a political argument grounded in his own view of global trends (globalisation in the 2000s, tech in the 2020s). But…

@TwmbarlwmSam https://t.co/olwWPgC3jh wait until you see the hand dryer scandal 😤

[Sam Portillo @SamRPortillo]

Reform candidates talk about fixing the country.

But when they get into a position to change lives, they invariably focus on ridiculous things.

Like the Reform council in England which obsessed over flags, or this guy who has declared war on *checks notes* Senedd hand dryers

I’m hearing that Andy Burnham has purchased a meal deal at WH Smith in Euston station. Beth, Sam and Sophy are en route to ask the checkout assistant what flavour crisps he chose.

Meanwhile Nigel Farage trousered a £5m bung and didn’t declare it.

Back to the crisps story.

And just like that, the very wealthiest party in the U.K. backed by foreign billionaires is supported by the very poorest members of society who dislike foreigners. You couldn’t make this shit up.

Just announced: Shav Taj has been elected for Caerdydd Ffynnon Taf 🌹

@Cardiffbus what is going on today?? I’ve watched two 27 buses disappear off the grid

[ALASTAIR CAMPBELL @campbellclaret]

I know there is a lot of news around but can someone at the Beeb explain to me how a man they keep telling us might be the next PM getting an undisclosed donation of FIVE MILLION POUNDS from a Thai based crypto dealer (with a BS explanation about it being for lifelong security) is not even a news story when the man he wants to replace led the news for days over some glasses and Arsenal tickets?

[Mark Hammond @MarkHam80780803]

“I’ll be all over the Farage £5 million donor story as soon as I’ve finished investigating allegations that Starmer owes a mate 22p for a Mars bar he bought him in 1987.”

[Darren Jones MP @darrenpjones]

What is it that the Conservatives and Reform don’t like about a Labour government standing against unearned wealth?

What is it they don't like about raising money for our state schools, our hospitals, our police, and to lift children out of poverty?

[Martin Cymbal💚 @cymbal_martin]

Remember when Starmer got a suit and a pair of specs? The UK media exploded 😅🤣😂

Can’t believe I chose to watch the BBC Leaders’ Debate instead of PSG 5 - 4 Bayern

Has anyone done this yet?

[Sam Portillo @SamRPortillo]

@Cai_ParryJones And what connections do you have to communities in Cardiff? You don’t live anywhere near, do you?

JUST IN - Spain’s Prime Minister, on the ceasefire, says Spain 'will not applaud those who set the world on fire just because they turn up with a bucket.”

[NASA Artemis @NASAArtemis]

Earthset.

The Artemis II crew captured this view of an Earthset on April 6, 2026, as they flew around the Moon. The image is reminiscent of the iconic Earthrise image taken by astronaut Bill Anders 58 years earlier as the Apollo 8 crew flew around the Moon.
