I broke the news of Brexit to Britain – we still haven’t seen a single benefit
I’m more convinced than ever that EU membership was far too fraught an issue to put to a simple referendum – and looking

23rd June marks 10th anniversary of the EU referendum. You'd think that would be something for Farage, Reform and the big Brexit leaders to celebrate but....

Somewhere between two-day Tests and 250v250 T20s exists the perfect balance between bat and ball. Admittedly, that's not narrowing things down much. #ENGvNZ 🏏
Say what you will about the pro golfers who joined the LIV Golf Tour and are now screwed over after Saudi Arabia is withdrawing funding, but make sure you say it loud enough for the rest of us to hear and enjoy.
Saudi Arabia Pulls Funding From LIV Golf. Its Star Players Face a Painful Road Back.
LIV plans to tell players and staff by Thursday that Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund would end its funding for the upstart league. But the PGA Tour isn’t yet ready to welcome back those who jump...

Trump is using a secret code to motivate extremists. It’s everywhere, if you know where to look
Racist memes and references to a mythical underground Aryan civilisation have become one of the Trump administration’s most potent forms of communication with its base.

More authoritarianism and intimidation. This is not about 2020. That’s the smokescreen. This is about the midterms and 2028. There will be a lot more of this in the coming months.
"I was only following orders" wasn't an acceptable excuse at the Nuremberg trials & won't work now. #AccountabilityIsComing

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

If senior officers carry out what Trump is threatening against NATO, “the officers and enlisted people below them will likely obey the chain of command”—and “such an outcome would be a tragedy, and potentially a global catastrophe,” @radiofreetom.bsky.social argues. theatln.tc/OtxpMxan
Six reasons why Trump’s attack on Venezuela was very wrong:
Good morning to all the "I voted for Trump because I wanted America out of all those wars abroad" people.
A gangster state at home, a rogue state abroad: and entirely because Congress and the Supreme Court have abdicated their proper constitutional roles.
Kidnapping the leader of a foreign state without any declaration of war and announcing it via social media is full-on rogue state stuff. From the world’s number one superpower.
After removing Maduro, the USA will finally be able to bring freedom to millions of barrels of oil.
Trump is starting a war with Venezuela to sidetrack the news cycle from the Epstein files. It’s unfathomable that the people around Trump aren’t able to manage this dangerous, mentally unfit, psychopathic president. All his supporters have blood on their hands. www.abc.net.au/news/2026-01...

In moments like this, we must come together. Australia stands united against hatred and terror.
Today, I spoke with Kilmar Abrego Garcia and his wife, Jennifer. In April, when I met with him in El Salvador, Trump said he would never set foot in the U.S. again. This case has never been about one man alone; if the govt can violate the constitutional rights of one, all our rights are threatened.
Nothing says Land of the Free like…
Anne Applebaum@anneapplebaum.wsocial.eu · 8mo agoIt's not just social media. Looks like visitors to the US from Europe and other countries that are part of the visa waiver program will have to submit an enormous amount of data about themselves and their families, including DNA, if proposed new rules are accepted
What was his impact here? That it would have taken England an awful lot longer to bowl Australia out for 500-and-odd without him?

“America is no longer the leader of the west, let alone the rest of the world. It’s got the biggest armed forces. It has the biggest economy and the widest cultural reach the world has ever seen. But its democracy is collapsing and it has been captured by a cult of ignorant grifters.”
