Love how the party that claims to present the masses against the elites does all its business in fancy Central London elitist venues like Claridges.

Just finished reading ‘All Quiet On The Western Front’. It’s to my shame that it took me till aged 52 to read it but so glad I finally did - even though it was confronting and horrific throughout.

They shouldn’t have held her back because she was (rightly) fucking livid. Should have let her loose on him, she’d have kicked his arse into next week I reckon.

Much as I hate to give Kanter the time, nobody here will support him anyway. Sky players kept Tasha away from him

The correct answer of course should have been yes. Unequivocal, no caveats, no follow ups. Just yes. Absolutely. Yes. youtube.com/shorts/_rOsO...

I think the whole notion of alpha males is a ridiculous one. But if they DO exist then I’d say this bloke is infinitely more alpha than some juiced up muscle bound prick spouting crap on the internet.

Watching this CMAT gig that’s free on YouTube for the weekend. She’s always brilliant but this hometown gig….wow! Genuinely the best pop star on the planet right now for me. youtu.be/EJ5GL0jw6pg?...

Early days, long way to go yet, still a pretty much brand new team that’s coming together…all valid. HOWEVER…battering teams in terms of possession and chances but not turning that into goals is a concern. We should have been 3 or 4 up in this one by HT. But we weren’t and are paying the price now.

Might sound strange to pay tribute to Dolly Parton by posting a White Stripes video. But the sign of a truly great songwriter is when your music can be played by artists of wildly different styles and genres and it still sounds amazing. And she was a great songwriter. youtu.be/yXlULkwhgrc?...

Southend last night. Wow. That was dominant, if it’s possible to dish out a 1-0 thrashing that’s what we did. It is just two games in, there are other good teams in this division. But I have this really weird emotion right now…I THINK it’s optimism. Feels fucking weird but I like it.

SO deeply weird. And totally unaware of how much people think he’s weird and how disliked he is. He actually thinks he’s funny. www.thelondoneconomic.com/news/elon-mu...

Elon Musk seems determined to keep his title as the world's unfunniest man after he posted a bizarre AI video of him as Austin Powers.

What’s hilarious is their whole bullshit take is they represent the silent majority, just saying what most people are thinking, not far right just common sense etc etc. So why would it matter if they said these things if that was the case? Why not just have it all out in the open?

Fucking hate these big monster cars. If you’re genuinely lugging tools and supplies to a building site and/or have to drive off road in rough terrain then I suppose they serve a purpose. But purely for on the school run, office commute or trips to the shops? Just ridiculous.

“Here’s what we found: Every additional 100kg of vehicle weight was associated with a 6% increase in odds of pedestrian fatality. Every additional 10cm of height was associated with an 11% increase in odds of pedestrian fatality. The relationship was even stronger in lower-speed environments.”

Bit of an observation with the Clacton by-election playing out back home I’m an Essex man who left full time education at 16. I like football and beer and Oasis. In the eyes of many on the left who read the Guardian they’d learn that about me and just think I’m scum without actually knowing more.

UEFA, CONCACAF and now the AFC. Whatever happens from here football won’t look the same ever again. www.the-afc.com/en/more/afc_...

AFC stands in solidarity with UEFA and CONCACAF to protect the FIFA World Cup

The AFC believes that the proposed FFE cannot realistically achieve the necessary broad consensus and unity required to move forward.

We are at a precipice. Either UEFA acts boldly and acts NOW or international and top level club football will be lost forever to money men and oligarchs and we’ll never get it back.

Pervert glasses, we should normalise punching wearers of them I reckon* *Totally acknowledge it could be a real game changer for visually impaired people of course. Don’t punch blind people.

Meta’s smartglasses mean any child can be covertly filmed. In the age of AI, how do we tackle that risk?

I say we give Mbappe one more for the LOLs

England doing well and taking their chances. France though….merde!

Totally agree that Argentina shouldn’t be punished for their players holding that banner after the semi final. However now that precedent has been set by FIFA I think it should be tested….

It hurts. The playoff final defeat v Oldham hurt more though. And I survived that, so I’ll survive this.

First 10 minutes like that would have been fun. But not the whole half. Ref is just shit, not claiming bias especially - just rubbish. Needs to get a grip.

Spain suffocated France up till they went 2-0 up. But what shocked me was after that when Spain dropped deep and you’d expect France to throw the kitchen sink at them - and that never came.

Well either we have a shock result or the comeback of all comebacks from here.
