@HazelStewart09 Can disagree with much you've said. We do seem to have ongoing issue with an inherent inferiority problem. I feel sad that Steve Clarke has decided to step down after what he has achieved - it's always easier to manage from the terraces, time will be the best judge of Clarke.

@StanCollymore McTominay should be playing as a 10. Playing far too deep for the majority of the game.

Team looked too relaxed when they came on and Morocco caught us cold with a well taken goal.

Former MI6 chief Sir Alex Younger on Brexit: “Putin would have been absolutely delighted by our decision.”

“So would Xi. France has effectively eclipsed us. Brexit has marginalised us.” Most striking of all: “Just nobody mentions the UK.”

Very sad that Sir Alex Younger, chief of the Secret Intelligence Service, born on July 4, 1963, died of pancreatic cancer on June 2, 2026, aged 62

@steverichards14 Missed you on the Not Another One podcast this week. Wryly amused by the two presenters on the right getting riled about 'sectarianism' when their parties have been up to their respective necks in sectarianism. I trust you will push back next week.

@nfergus This thread is galactic, hyperbolic balderdash. This period is America's Suez - a period which Americans look back at with shame. I 'look forward' to your attempts to explain Trump's increasing senility over the next 3 years together with the increasing authoritarianism.

Statement from the Premier of Greenland 🇬🇱
6:55pm local time:

“🇬🇱 We have been a close and loyal friend of the United States for generations. We have stood shoulder to shoulder in difficult times. We have taken responsibility for security in the North Atlantic — and not least for North America. That is what true friends do.

Precisely for that reason, the current and repeated rhetoric coming from the United States is entirely unacceptable.

When the President of the United States speaks of “needing Greenland” and links us to Venezuela and military intervention, it is not only wrong. It is disrespectful.

Our country is not an object in great-power rhetoric. We are a people. A country. A democracy. That must be respected — especially by close and loyal friends.

We are part of NATO, and we are fully aware of our country’s strategic location. We also understand that our security depends on good friends and strong alliances. In that context, a respectful and loyal relationship with the United States is very important. That has been the case for decades.

But alliances are built on trust. And trust requires respect.

Threats, pressure, and talk of annexation have no place between friends. That is not how one speaks to a people who have repeatedly demonstrated responsibility, stability, and loyalty.

Enough is enough.

No more pressure.
No more insinuations.
No more fantasies of annexation.

We are open to dialogue. We are open to conversations. But they must take place through the proper channels and in full respect of international law. And the proper channels are not random and disrespectful posts on social media.

Greenland is our home and our territory.
And it will remain so. 🇬🇱”

Theres a very long list of US products that cannot be sold in the EU thanks to EU regulations. Since the favorite pastime of the Trump regime and every US oligarch is now to demonize EU regulations, I thought it would be very much worth going through some of those products.🧵

NEW: What happens when you put Bernie Sanders in the second reddest state in the country?

For nearly 80 years straight, working-class West Virginia was a Democratic stronghold — until it took a hard turn to Trump.

We were on the ground with @BernieSanders to investigate why.

Don't accept the premise of their question. Everything out of this administration is lies and deceit.

@CarolineLucas dismisses the idea that Brexit has been beneficial for the UK after President Trump’s tariffs

So let’s have a little look at the Right wing media feeding off its own ecosystem.

Here’s @TiceRichard claiming NET ZERO caused the Heathrow shut down, while sharing a Telegraph article that appears to back up his claim

Must be true then, right??

Sometimes you just have to tackle Russian propaganda head on. This is a masterclass by Polish Foreign Minister, Radoslav Sikorsky, during the plenary of the UN General Assembly.

His forensic dismantling of the Russian position should serve as mandatory training for EVERY nation leader in this fight to preserve democracy.

Each extra condition Putin has demanded in exchange for a ceasefire needs to be benchmarked against what it means for Ukraine’s ability to defend itself. I remember Trumps rotten Taliban deal and the Secret Annex that gave them everything they needed to win. 1/2
