Lindsay Graham, Ken Bates, Anne Widdecombe, and Mitch McConnell. In the space of a week. It feels like God is taking care of a few loose ends before his term ends.

Hannah Spencer has really let herself go since getting elected. What's happened to her chin, for starters? She's got jawline only an Old Etonian could be proud of.

Go on, Doctor Congo! This England team are losing their heads.

It's too hot today to watch football in Madrid, but this day in 4 year's time, we're expecting teams to play in it?

The Local Spain@thelocalspain.bsky.social · 2mo ago

The public screening of Spain's World Cup match against Saudi Arabia in Madrid later on Sunday has been cancelled because of extreme heat forecast for the Spanish capital, officials said.

My wife has just discovered that Clive Marie is in Glengormley covering the fuckwittery for the BBC, and now she wants to drive in there to see if she can meet him.

Right, Palace... You're already safe. Your job now is to focus on the Europa Conference. Rest up your best players. If that means West Ham get a win to move then further away from Spurs, so be it. Well just somehow have to cope with that. *wink wink* heavily implied.

At this point, I'm just hoping that JD Vance doesn't suddenly try out in support of McIlroy

I mean, this is all well and good, but when is @michaellegge.bsky.social going to get the recognition he deserves and get the freedom of the borough? www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Rhys McClenghan: Olympic gold medallist receives Freedom of the Borough

McClenaghan, from Newtownards, made history after winning Ireland's first gold medal in gymnastics at the Paris Olympics 2024.

When people called the takeover 'sportswashing,' there was an angry backlash from Newcastle fans and a promise to be 'critical friend' of Saudi. Four years on, just after the owner had more people executed than in any other year of his reign, the Supporters Trust is recruiting extras for Saudi Air.

The new 34" chinos I got from M&S don't fit me. Shrinkflation has officially gone too far!

Everything went to shit when Charlie Brooker stopped making end of year Newswipe's*. *I know there shouldn't be an apostrophe there. But I don't care.

I'm listening to an episode of The Bugle where @zaltzcricket.bsky.social says, as his justification for occasionally watching golf: "As a sports fan, what you want to see is elite performers crumbling before your very eyes". I wonder if he still feels that way after day two of #TheAshes.

Ruben Amorim told us that Man Utd's VictoryDefeat™ against Arsenal in the opening match showed they could beat anyone. So you have to assume it's a choice they've made to be 2-0 down to Grimsby Town at half-time. #MUFC #GTFC

Jessie knows from years of experience where the last rays of sunshine will hit the garden.

My wife's on one of those personal development kicks where every day you do something you've never done before. So today she loaded the dishwasher properly. Only joking. She just fucked everything in there and hoped they'd come out clean.

I'm saving this photo for the next time someone cleans a room and says "there, that's a bit more Protestant looking".

Gutted to hear Rick Buckler has died. The Jam were my big brother's favourite band, which made them 7-11 year old me's favourite band. And so he was my favourite drummer. The first of many. Even now when I listen to The Jam, I find his drumming irresistible. www.theguardian.com/culture/2025...

Rick Buckler, drummer of The Jam, dies aged 69 after short illness

The musician, along with band members Paul Weller and Bruce Foxton, had many hits in the 1970s and 1980s, including four UK No 1s
