@ArsenalN7 I've been told this is a fake story fabricated on X.... Any reliable source?

Whatever happens, I'm fucking proud of these boys. ❤️

🚨 NEW: London Mayor Sadiq Khan has blocked the £50m Met Police deal with Palantir, citing a "clear and serious breach" of procurement rules

I still can't believe it. Feels like a dream . Been waiting 22 years for this.

[Arsenal @Arsenal]

This belongs to all of us.

[Arsenal @Arsenal]

The Arsenal. Your Premier League champions.

Hi @BBCNews - I know I'm only a mere voter, but I'm trying to decide whether to vote for Reform in the upcoming by-election. I would be most grateful if you can tell me if there is anything I should know about them? You too @bbclaurak

[Mr Ethical 🚩 @nw_nicholas]

The media are terrified of reporting Farage probable money laundering because of lawyers. The last thing Farage would do is sue. I will keep at it. He can sue me if he wants.

[John Lisney @johnlisney]

Agree, and it shows by his very low rating on fc26

[James. @afcjxmes]

I know this sounds a bit mad because he’s already very popular within the fanbase but I don’t think the general footballing world appreciates how good this guy is yet.

He’d get into almost any team at LB and CB and is still only 23 years old. He’s comfortable in literally any zone of the pitch (no exaggeration) and suits modern football to a tee. Considering how much he’s improved just over the past year, his potential is pretty scary.

We’re very lucky to have him. #ad

How the BBC & ITV give disproportionate coverage to Farage & Reform: hard evidence from a serious study. BBC & ITV now give Reform more coverage than the Conservatives, more than the Lib Dems & nine times the Greens. Superb research from @Stephen_Cushion.

🚨A Petition calling for a full, public inquiry into RUSSIAN INTERFERENCE IN UK POLITICS AND DEMOCRACY has hit the threshold for a debate, but a debate isn’t automatic. MPs need to show support.

Email your MP NOW and ask them to publicly support the call for a Commons debate

[Liz Webster @LizWebsterSBF]

📊 The Brexit majority hasn’t just slipped 👉it’s vanished. Completely.

This chart from Peter Kellner/YouGov shows:

• 5 million 2016 voters have died
• New young voters back Rejoin by 5:1
• 29% of Leave voters now want to rejoin
• Net result: Rejoin 19.8m vs Stay Out 11.7m

➡️ An 8 MILLION majority for Rejoin.

Britain is now a pro-EU country.
The only people keeping Brexit alive are politicians who benefit from the damage.

Oh dear

World football should be embarrassed and outraged that the game of the world, that everyone plays in all corners of the planet, has been used to promote a human rights abuser, currently extrajudicially killing Venezuelans, who play our game.

Locking up immigrants and vilifying all manner of cultures and faiths, who play our game.

Funding and arming genocide in Palestine, who play our game.

This award further stains the reputation of Infantino, FIFA, and places football as an enabler of Trump’s attacks on international law, multilateral systems, on justice, and accountability.

Football once stopped wars, today, it promotes the worst crimes against humanity.

It’s a shameful day for the beautiful game.

[Nick Reeves #RejoinEU #NAFO #FBPE @nickreeves9876]

This petition calling for a public inquiry into Russian interference is now up to 13k, and growing fast. It's still early days, but it's notable that the percentage of people signing is highest in Wales.

This suggests that media coverage of Nathan Gill was considerably more extensive in Wales than elsewhere, which is disturbing because it suggests coverage of Gill's treason was insufficient outside Wales, given that it was a matter of UK national importance.

Please share the petition as widely as possible.

@OrangeBEFR bonjour. Il y aurait il une panne de réseau à Uccle (quartier Prince d'orange) aujourd'hui ? On a pas internet depuis 14h chez nous....

Love this

“12 out of 12 baby, send me away!!!”

Love that this starts out as keen political analysis about young voters and ends with one of the funniest bits I’ve seen in a WHILE. New York, elect this man!🗽

When you interviewed me - you asked me repeatedly and I told you repeatedly GDP is a terrible way to measure heath & well being.

As a Tory peer who also is a radio host - you seemed confused by that.

It's also a position held btw by Simon Kuznet who designed the idea of GDP.
