Surely it was Jude Bellingham’s reaction when he heard the entire England crowd singing “Hey Jude.” 🥹❤️

Simply the most beautiful moment of this World Cup.

1. Corbyn got 0.5M more votes in 2019 than Starmer got in 2024
2. The party was not 'found to be institutionally antisemitic'
3. He didn't 'rip antisemitism out of [his] party'
Quite a feat; three brazen, objective falsehoods in a single paragraph.
His legacy.

@nvr2hinvr2lo @kent_police Yep, @kent_police haven't even done the basics here. 🤷

This is what parents and children have to walk past in the road, just up from a school because @kent_police won't do their jobs properly!

Good morning.

[Farrukh @implausibleblog]

Charlie Stayt, "You said Andy Burnham is too in hock to vested interests to deliver real change. You haven't given him a chance, have you, he hasn't even started?"

Zack Polanski, "If he does do the right things I'll be the first to applaud him"

"He's appointed James Purnell as chief of staff. This is a man who is a corporate lobbyist for private water companies"

"When we have water companies pumping sewage into our rivers and charging us extra for the privilege, this doesn't seem a good start"

"Then we know Josh Simons hired a private investigator to look into a journalist who was talking about undeclared donations for Labour Together"

"And finally, the only substantial thing he's voted on as an MP in the last week, is to support Shabana Mahmood's regressive immigration reforms. Including asking asylum seekers to review their cases every 30 months. That's deeply inhumane for people fleeing war and persecution"

"Andy Burnham might surprise me and move in a more progressive direction and I'd really welcome that"

"But the rumours of appointing Shabana Mahmood as Chancellor, a politician who cites Margaret Thatcher as one of her political heroes"

"This doesn't sound like we're moving in a direction to end ripoff Britain, it looks like more of the same"

[Alastair Morgan @AlastairMorgan]

Water, PPE, Grenfell, Hillsborough, the Post Office,

the list just goes on.....

And what about the lies and Russian meddling in Brexit?

And not a criminal conviction to be seen.

This is the British Way.

You can get a pay rise every year and still get poorer every year. Most people are living proof.

If your pay goes up 3% and the cost of living goes up 5%, you didn't get a raise — you took a pay cut with a nicer number on it. Your salary rose; what it actually buys fell.

This has been the quiet story of UK wages for over a decade. Prices, rent and bills outrun the annual "cost of living increase," so most people work harder each year to afford slightly less.

You can't out-negotiate this with a 3% bump. The only thing that beats it is income that grows faster than prices do — which a capped salary, by design, almost never will.

Jess Phillips is asked why, as the minister for violence against women & girls, she voted against an amendment to exclude sexual offenders from early release.

"Because there is a prisons crisis"

Got to free the rapists to make room for people who oppose genocide, I guess.

[nasher @babylonpink]

Lying bastard. It was a free-for-all and a money grab. People like Hancock setting up their own companies to get their snouts in the trough. The worst people in charge at the worst time.

[The Lucky Heron @LuckyHeronSay]

Still the case that @ZackPolanski is the only leader telling it like it is. The rest are all peddling lies, some with a smile and a northern accent, some with a flag and racist rhetoric.

[@DefsNotAmar @DefsNotAmar]

Kirandeep Kaur was murdered by a white man in West London last Sunday and there is almost no coverage. A white kid gets killed and there are riots in the streets. A Sikh woman gets killed and it barely gets mentioned.

[Ben Bowdler @much2loud]

What a bunch of jokers, it's already been reported and you won't do anything about it. Not even check the number plate on the back! So lazy!

3 YEARS into a genocide (as stated by the UN, Amnesty International, MSF…)

With daily massacres, torture, hostage taking on our screens…

70,000 dead children later…

We’re STILL at the point of begging the UK government to ***STOP PROVIDING WEAPONS FOR GENOCIDE***?!!!
