Australian World Cup fans were caught chanting:
“Aussie boys are on a bender, Donald Trump is a sex offender.”
The tournament is barely underway and the chants are already in midseason form. 💀
The stupidity of, and damage done by, stamp duty is being recognised by more and more people. I’ve said it before and l’ll say it again: any govt which cared about economic growth and people’s welfare would abolish it.

Gut wrenching to see four young people jailed for direct action against an arms supplier to Israel.
Years in prison for protesting to save lives in Gaza, with 'terrorism' used despite no jury convicting them of it.
A truly dangerous attack on the right to protest.
@DPJHodges Honestly? You’re moaning about that? I think it looks fine and imagine the needless expense of being on site. Should be lauded but hey, have a pop.
"I'm not going to go through... an exam on the fiscal rules."
Andy Burnham, Labour candidate in the Makerfield by-election, refuses two times to tell @vicderbyshire what the fiscal rules are, but confirms he'd stick to them if he became prime minister.

Incredible statement from Amnesty International UK on Henry Nowak:
Not a single word of conveying outrage or horror over the brutal murder, or of how police left him to die without dignity.
Instead, their statement is about policing the *political commentary* around the case.
I kid you not.
What a grotesque betrayal of any moral purpose.
These NGOs aren’t just useless - they actively despise you. They are hostile to everything you value and everything you hold dear.
Get in the sea you cretin. We have the highest energy costs of all, not because of the war, but because of brain dead policies such as yours, normal people are suffering to pander to your ideology.
1/ The rise in the price cap because of a war we did not choose is deeply unwelcome news for households across the country.
We know people were under pressure before this crisis, and that’s why easing that burden is our number one priority.
“Let me say this really clearly. I support the fiscal rules. There needs to be a plan to get debt down, but beyond that, we need to change politics and take the turbulence out of British politics because that is a cause of uncertainty that then has that impact in the market” - Andy Burnham
@DPJHodges It’s not an issue for me either, won’t hear me talk about it, until someone tells me they are going to reverse it. Then it’s an issue. Funny that.
