Your reminder that Andrew Tate and his brother are facing multiple charges of rape and sex trafficking.

It’s like living in a fucking Brass Eye episode.

@footballontnt Hilarious. Literally can't help himself.

Social media trends have turned the world’s most beautiful places into endless bathroom lines at a concert, where everyone waits for hours just to take the same photo to show to people who couldn’t care less 🌎📸

Nothing captures the shallow decay of our time better than this

I find it flabbergasting that Russia ordered a sabotage operation against the British PM on UK soil and yet everyone seems to accept it's just business as usual.

This behaviour is why it's essential to defeat Putin in Ukraine.

Actually, to be fair, a lot of the people who brand themselves "patriots" on here are. It's just they're Russian patriots.

Weird how Reform haven’t said anything on the arson attacks on Keir being sponsored by Russia.

Almost like they’re scared of calling Russia out. Why would that be?

10 years ago my wife, the mum of our kids & the MP for Batley&Spen was killed by a far right extremist.

At anniversaries I try to be optimistic about the future. But not this time. In the ten years since she was killed we have gone backwards & I fear our democracy is now at risk

Northern Ireland remaining in the EU single market for goods means we have an entire region running as a counterfactual on how much wealthier we’d have been had we stayed. It’s actually outperformed London.

[Sai Ishaya @Sai_Isshayya_]

When a White man went on a horrific rampage with a samurai sword in London, killing & nearly decapitating 14-year-old Daniel Anjorin, the community grieved with unity & vigils. No one launched vigilante attacks targeting White people or burned down their homes. The individuals rioting now are racist opportunists looking for an excuse to harm minorities, and we must call it what it is.

[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?

[Jane Bradley @jane__bradley]

Northern Ireland was dubbed the "UK's most dangerous place to be a woman" just two months ago.

30 women have been violently killed since 2020.

An Irish man murdered his pregnant girlfriend and left her facedown in a dog bowl as a final humiliation

Where were the rioters then?

TELLY GOLD: It’s the anniversary of the opening day of Italia 90, so here’s the intro to the official BBC tournament round-up.

Des Lynam, in a marvellous coat, with Adamski on soundtrack.

Splendid stuff.

This is the dumbest tweet ever written by an American, an astonishing achievement given the depth of competition for that accolade.

It's hard to know where to even start.

I'll go from the top and try wade through it, to arrive at where the focus should already be. /1

Makerfield By-Election Update:
https://t.co/1qzdOOW1SO

Survation conducted a new poll of the Makerfield constituency. Fieldwork was conducted by telephone among 518 adults in the constituency between 26th May and 1st June 2026. A combination of landline and mobile data were used.

Methodology Statement
Population Sampled: All residents aged 18+ living in the Makerfield parliamentary constituency.

Total Sample Size: 518

Data Collection Method: Telephone interview. A combination of landline and mobile data were used.

Fieldwork Dates: 26th May – 1st June 2026

Data Weighting: Data were weighted to the profile of all adults in Makerfield constituency aged 18+. Data were weighted by age, sex, ward and 2024 General Election vote.

Targets for the weighted data were derived from Office for National Statistics data and the results of the 2024 UK General Election.

Margin of Error: Because only a sample of the full population was interviewed, all results are subject to a margin of error. For example, in a question where 50% gave a particular answer, with a sample of 518 it is 95% certain that the “true” value would fall within 4.8 percentage points of the sample result.

Headline by-election voting intention - Table V2 (likelihood-weighted, undecided/refused removed, no squeeze):

Candidate / Party / Vote share

Andy Burnham - Labour 49%
Robert Kenyon - Reform UK 39%
Rebecca Shepherd - Restore Britain 8%
Sarah Wakefield - Green Party 2%
Jake Austin - Liberal Democrat 1%
Michael Winstanley - Conservative 1%
Another party <1%

Base: likely voters, factored by likelihood to vote, with undecided and refused voters removed
