[Branko Marcetic @BMarchetich]

The term for this is "accusation in a mirror," where you accuse your opponents of the things you want or plan to do. You know it is, since Miller just had his agents summarily execute two more people on US streets this week while building a network of concentration camps.

[Ben Carr @DoctorBenjy]

I literally cannot believe the substitutions.

Should have got Rice and Bellingham off, they were absolutely shattered before the Enzo goal, Saka/Rashford/Eze and then took Gordon off, zero ability to ball carry and relive pressure, literally thought he could get away with it...

[B. @InvertTheWing]

Tuchel is an absolute bozo for regressing to Southgate tactics 75 minutes on.

Completely lost my respect. Get Pep Guardiola on the phone.

MITCH MCCONNELL HAS LEFT THE HOSPITAL WITH NEW CYBERNETIC ATTACHMENTS... I DONT HAVE MUCH TIME...

[HLTCO @HLTCO]

It’s 5:46am on Monday morning.

After a thunderstorm over the Azteca delayed kick off until 2:25am, England have made it through against Mexico on penalties after a nerve-shredding 2-2 draw on 90 minutes ended up 3-3 after extra time.

The final spot-kick, scored by Declan Rice hit the back of the net 29 minutes ago, you’ve left the pub and are walking down the street with the 2nd of two pints you got in at last orders just as extra time ended, the sun is up, you’ve got a Teams meeting scheduled for 10am in which you’ve got to give a 10 minute talk to all 23 people on the call.

You are fully up shit creek and there’s no paddle in sight.

What you’ll be remembered for is being complicit in the genocide against the Palestinian people, and appointing Peter Mandelson to a top job despite knowing he was besties with a nonce.

CHIEF PROSECUTOR AT THE ICC??

Is this a sick joke?

Keir Starmer appeared to be on the verge of tears at the end of his resignation speech.

[Saul Staniforth @SaulStaniforth]

Starmer lied his way to the top, took every freebie he could get, targeted the sick and disabled, demonised & scapegoated refugees, gave a top govt job to a billionaire paedophiles best pal, enabled & armed a genocide.

Beth Rigby tells us it was a very dignified speech.

[Hugh Grant @HackedOffHugh]

All still suckling at the teat.

[Tottenham Hotspur @SpursOfficial]

Victory for Djed and England as they claimed a 4-2 win against Croatia, with Luka playing 65 minutes in the Group L fixture 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇭🇷

@MikeTappTweets @ZackPolanski A bit like this I'd imagine

[Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan @MayorofLondon]

Complaining about nightlife when you *checks notes* choose to live in Soho is like living in South Kensington and complaining about the museums.

Or moving to Hackney and grumbling about creatives. Living in Richmond and hating green space. 

It's all getting a bit silly, isn't it?

[Owen Jones @owenjonesjourno]

You see these scenes from Belfast?

That's our future if Reform, Restore, the Tories, GB News, Elon Musk and the right-wing media get their way.

Except this will be on a much bigger scale.

We have to decide: do we want those inciting hatred to destroy our country?

[Zarah Sultana MP @zarahsultana]

You were part of a cabinet that armed and supported a genocidal apartheid Israeli state.

Spare us the crocodile tears.

No amount of revisionism erases your role in that. You’re complicit, whether you like it or not.

[Aydin Dikerdem @AydinDikerdem]

At the height of the genocide, the government invited the head of the Israeli Airforce - General Tomer Bar - to an air show in Gloucestershire. At the time, 10 children a day were losing one or both limbs in Gaza due to Israeli air strikes.

[Jeremy Corbyn @jeremycorbyn]

Tony Blair thinks the answer to this country’s problems is AI, welfare cuts and endless spending on war.

Who benefits? Arms companies and tech billionaires.

Once again, Blair is wrong. The answer is a redistribution of wealth and power and the relentless search for peace.
