@NoContextCounty That suggests it's a players issue

@coversvanzack @thegreeeeeek No. Ivory Coast are better than Sweden, and Brazil are better than Germany, but I think you knew that

@coversvanzack @thegreeeeeek Both A teams are much better than the B teams

[Pete O'Toole @potjnr]

@coversvanzack @thegreeeeeek Huge difference between A and B

[Pete O'Toole @potjnr]

@FtblRocco @OptaJoe It's clearly going wide. There's been a couple of dodgy ones, but this isn't it

@matthewsyed You might be the most clueless of them all

Hakimi & Partey are on trial for rape but Lamine Yamal is your focus because he held a 🇵🇸 flag

Worth reiterating that everyone saw this coming a mile off except for the country’s 50 highest paid political correspondents

[Yanis Varoufakis @yanisvaroufakis]

Keir Starmer was not merely a disappointment. He is a mendacious figure of ethical decrepitude, a man who won the Labour Party leadership based on promises that he jettisoned five seconds after winning - a Labour leader who dared banish from the Labour Party not only his predecessor but also remarkable human beings like director Ken Loach - the gentleman who has taken the historic Labour Party and transformed it into a vessel for the very oligarchy it was elected to restrain.

Consider the litany of Starmer’s moral and logical failures. He promised a 'different Britain', yet his actions were a masterclass in Tory-lite politics—using the same maxed-out credit card analogies that once served the austerity brigades to justify his own failure of vision. He promised a human rights lawyer’s approach but he embraced a racist-lite version of Farage.

On Europe, Starmer promised Brexiteers that Brexit is Brexit yet stood before those who yearn to rejoin the European Union, winked at them to make them feel that Britain would gradually reconnect, even rejoin, with the EU while offering nothing of substance. This is not leadership; it is a fraud.

And then there's the manner in which Starmer and his government rushed to offer Israel unequivocal support in pursuing its genocide in Gaza, sacrificing precious political and civil liberties in the UK by imprisoning grandmothers, priests and peaceful activists who dared support Palestine Action, an organisation that Starmer and his minions proscribed as terrorists for practising the usual activist tactics of trespassing to spray paint military planes that had demonstrably aided in the genocide. To add insult to injury, Starmer performed the diplomatic pantomime of recognising a Palestinian state, in a manner that ensured it would never happen.

But above all else, this is a government that has learned nothing from the post-2008 era. Starmer and his Chancellor are playing the same tired austerity game while enabling and empowering the Finance Curse perpetrated by the City of London, throwing in forgood measure cuts in international aid to fund a military spending trickle under the guise of a "Strategic Defence Review" . It is the same old doctrine: austerity for the masses, socialism for the financiers and the arms dealers.

History will remember Mr Starmer as a man without conviction, a Prime Minister who offers not a shred of honesty, but merely the cruel illusion of change. He is ethically decrepit because he had chosen, consciously, to abandon principle for power. And for that, history will indict him. Good riddance, I say.

Keir Starmer could have ended child poverty, homelessness and the grotesque levels of inequality in this country.

Instead, he abandoned those in need, destroyed our civil liberties and facilitated genocide in Gaza.

That is how this Prime Minister will be remembered - and that is the legacy of moral and political bankruptcy he leaves behind.

The crises in our society are not going away. Neither are we - and we will keep fighting for a more equal, peaceful and dignified society for all.

[Jeremy Corbyn @jeremycorbyn]

The National Security (State Threats) Bill is an alarming expansion of state power, and an escalation of the government's chilling assault on the right to protest.

[Josie Long @JosieLong]

Everybody was told in 2010-15 that austerity was painful but necessary to improve living standards. And then no improvements came, ever.

[Jeremy Corbyn @jeremycorbyn]

Sentenced and imprisoned on grounds of “terrorism” that no jury ever convicted them of.

Meanwhile, the British government continues to aid and abet the greatest crime of our time.

A historic miscarriage of justice — and a truly dark day for civil liberties in this country.

[Roger Gall @Shambles151]

"Judge Johnson kept the jury in the dark of his plans to sentence the four as terrorists. This is the first time in British legal history that anyone has been sentenced as a terrorist for damaging property."

Please RT until this is both the 1st & last time.

Thank you.

@HLTCO So Jesse was right 🤣

[Raphael Dogg @raphaeldogg]

So, non-violent protest has got nowhere, except landed non-violent protestors in prison for longer terms than violent offenders get. What next?

[Pete O'Toole @potjnr]

@colinrtalbot Yeah, was very strange

[Helen the Zen (reboot) 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🍉 @glaisian]

I remember when Just Stop Oil protests were condemned because of delays to hypothetical ambulances. Not so much chatter when far right terrorists close cities with their violence though, eh? #C4News

@DaleJohnsonBBC Jesus Christ, even dumber than I thought 🙈
