Brexit and the Tories wrecked our country. Social justice.Animal welfare. Zero tolerance for gammon,liars and snides. Fuck Trump and Netanyahu

The Reform candidate has been exposed as a misogynist and general right wing pig. And Restore will take votes from him. Not sure Burnham can take the result as an endorsement should he win as I expect he will.

[Ladbrokes Politics @LadPolitics]

Who will win next week's by-election in Makerfield?

Ladbrokes now give Andy Burnham an 86% chance of being elected

Labour - 1/6
Reform UK - 5/1
Restore Britain - 16/1
500/1 bar

Plenty of other markets also available - https://t.co/0lPLQIx7mL

@OperaSocialist @padavii @KarlTurnerMP The time has come to accept our state broadcaster has a pro Reform agenda. The question is whether there’s anything we can do about it?

Why is it always a crook that leads FIFA?

Big up, Uncle Ian Wright for speaking up, and he's 100% correct.

Look how Qatar got dragged when they were hosting the World Cup.

*Russia banned from football for attacking Ukraine*

*USA, host of the World Cup, bombs Iran for over a month, kills its Supreme Leader and refuses to let the Iranian team stay even one night in the country*

The details about the Tate brothers in this @newyorker profile are as sick as anything you will ever read. They are rapists, pornographers, traffickers - and heroes to the "conservative" MAGA movement

If ever there was a popular actor whose most famous role was diametrically opposite to his own life , surely it was Arnold Ridley. He became famous and very popular for playing Private Godfrey in the hugely popular tv series Dads Army. His character of Godfrey was elderly, doddery, kind, polite, mildly incontinent and a conscientious objector.
But Mr Ridley's life could not have been more different. Born in 1896 he tried to enlist at the outbreak of WW1 in 1914 but was turned away because of a hammer toe. But he was accepted by the Somerset Light infantry in 1915 and sent to the Western Front.

In the space of a year he saw much hand to hand fighting in the trenches He was stabbed in the groin with a bayonet and his legs were riddled with shrapnel. In 1916 at the Battle of the Somme his left hand was rendered forever almost unusable by another bayonet wound , at the same time he was smashed in the head by a German rifle butt which left a legacy of blackouts. He was then medically discharged that year.

He rejoined the army in 1939 as a 2nd Lt, his job was looking after journalists in France attached to the BEF, was evacuated on an overcrowded warship during Dunkirk operations from Boulougne. But by now his WW1 wounds were catching him up and he left the army on medical grounds in 1940.

He immediately joined the Home Guard in Caterham! He did of course go on to write The Ghost Train.

Arnold Ridley passed away in 1984. A true hero who gave so much to our country. R.I.P.

Tony Livesey another embarrassment to The BBC. What made him an appropriate appointment? #Panorama

@HeatherJeeves You might be interested to know Simon Marks is on LBC. Standing in for Tory Tom this week.

[David__Osland @David__Osland]

So GB News was set up as a propaganda outlet in the first place, Boris Johnson filled the BBC with personal buddies and Tory placemen, and it now emerges that former 'regulator' Lord Grade is openly biased in favour of rightwing politicians. See how it works yet?

[le sociologue grincheux @OhHowByronic]

Spot on.

[Sam @SamCKx]

It is absolutely ridiculous at this point that we are supposed to believe even 5% of Rupert Lowe's engagement is organic. A random post about @DavidLammy - 8000 likes in 53 minutes. The average View>Like ratio on this platform is around 1%... Rupert's dumb posts are averaging 14%!

Oh but he happens to be supported by the guy who owns this platform you say? 🤔

[Jake Tapper 🦅 @jaketapper]

That is some wild, unhinged stuff from the President.

Welker is a good person and honest journalist and didn’t deserve that but more importantly we have a president who constantly pushes conspiracy theories with zero evidence and can’t respond when politely challenged on that.

Pope Leo XIV in Madrid: “I encourage you to nurture the process of European Union, which is not merely a counterweight to other powers, but a gift to humanity.”

Wonderful.
A powerful reminder of how beautiful and hopeful the European project truly is.

Israel just assassinated Ali in South Lebanon.

Not a fighter. Not armed.

Ali was a nurse.

They hunted him down with a drone, and executed him as he made his way to work at Hiram hospital in Tyre.

Israel isn’t targeting combatants.

It’s targeting the people who save lives.

This is awful. The last ever Denby Pottery going to the kiln. Why is there not uproar? Where’s the government in this?? We all have Denby in our homes, in family heirlooms, as our history and now it’s closing through lack of support, such a sad sad day. #SaveDenby @denbypottery

Sainsbury's boss eyes bumper £7.3m payday as shoppers reel from higher food prices.

Up from £5.4m last year – 200 times average employee pay.

Govts preach pay restraint to workers, silence on exec pay, shareholder returns.

Let workers vote on exec pay.

He's taking the entire country for fools — aided and abetted by our shameful media.

Now he's doing it from a hiding place and not making himself available to answer questions — it's been six weeks.

He's supposed to be a public servant, meaning that he can be held to account, but our lax Parliamentary rules say that he never has to turn up to his job if he doesn't want.

Far from being a party to change the system, Nigel Farage and Reform UK are experts in milking it for all it's worth.

How many houses does he really have? Nine Houses Nigel?

I'm certain Laura Kuenssberg will be all over his corruption when she is shouted at by Zia Yusuf later. 🤦‍♂️

82 years ago, on the beaches of Normandy, brave British and Allied forces changed the course of history forever.

We must never forget the service and sacrifice of those courageous men and women.

Our debt to them can never be repaid.
