Tessera

When the story of why humanity didn't stop climate change is written, it will feature front pages like this. Even as the skies blacken with climate change-induced wildfires, right wing media continue their relentless crusade against measures to tackle it.

The Times: Net zero risks blackouts. Below a photo of French wildfires.

Pretty cool that the UK had both its first Hindu prime minister and now its first Catholic prime minister in the last four years and neither was treated as a particularly big deal.

Burnham: What do we do differently? Adviser: Every PM forced out early used a podium. Burnham: Fuck it. Let’s try it.

Prime Minister Andy Burnham: "In the 1980s, Britain took some wrong turns. Political power was centralised. Economic power privatised. Large parts of the country deindustrialised. Many feel as though they're still in decline... We will take power out of here and carry it into every postcode".

Trump tries to linger on the podium for as long as possible after presenting the World Cup trophy. Infantino tried to bring him to the left but Trump kept wondering and eventually followed him to the right. A repeat of the FIFA Club World Cup.

Trump is about to present the World Cup trophy to the European country that he has demonised more than any other. 🤌

Trump and Infantino are loudly jeered as they walk out to present the World Cup trophy.

Leandro Paredes should be banned from international football for life viciously assaulting Spanish players after the final whistle. Indefensible thuggery and criminality.

I will buy a Spain shirt if they tell Trump to keep moving after he presents the trophy so he can't linger again during the cup raise like during the Club World Cup.

Wayne Rooney speaking for the entire world on the half time show. "I thought it was crap."

Just fuck off the pitch and let the football recommence.

This garbage is not worth breaking FIFA rules for.

Frustrating England World Cup campaign overall but man what a finish.

Solid life lesson from England and France tonight that you achieve so much more when you don't fear failure.

People losing their shit over a Black woman being cast in The Odyssey — a fictional story — need to remember that they literally made a Treasure Island movie with MUPPETS, and it remains the definitive version.

New Labour Leader and incoming PM Andy Burnham: "Britain took a series of wrong turns in the 1980s. Political power was centralised, and economic power was privatised... The right used the phrase 'take back control', but they are the ones who gave it away in the first place."

Result of an insanely unambitious strategy of locking down after going one up. England were never going to hold it. Absurd. Pickford has had to carry England’s entire second half.

Keir Starmer delivers his last PMQs answer: "This is the end for my political journey... I leave the country in a better shape than I found it. To all those in the gallery, whose lives have been changed or improved by this Labour govt... you're the reason I came into politics."

The Iran War is now a fight between the US and Iran over which one of them gets to commit international piracy on the Strait of Hormuz.

Trump on TruthSocial: The Hormuz Strait is OPEN, and will remain OPEN, with or without Iran. We are reinstating the THE IRANIAN BLOCKADE, so named because it is only stopping Iran’s ships or customers from entering or leaving. All other countries will have fair and open use of the Strait. The U.S.A. will be, from this point forward, known as “THE GUARDIAN OF THE HORMUZ STRAIT,” but as such, and as a matter of FAIRNESS, will be reimbursed, at the rate of 20% on all cargo shipped, for any and all costs necessary to do the job of providing safety and security to this very volatile section of the World. The process and formation will begin immediately. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J. TRUMP

Norway's muted celebration of that sensational goal is terrifying. Cold and clinical.

I love how this would be a Tory scandal if Jenrick hadn’t defected. Reform UK have literally imported scandals from the Conservatives. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Robert Jenrick: Met investigates donation to Tory leadership campaign

The former Conservative, now Reform UK, MP says the allegations are "entirely false".

If your party has to pull activists off a major mayoral race so your leader can defeat a bin, you’re basically fucked. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Reform activists urged to switch focus from Manchester to Farage’s Clacton contest

Exclusive: Party hoped to mount serious challenge in mayoral race but attention has been diverted to Essex

Trump: "Would you go to Moscow?" Zelensky: "It's difficult. There are a lot of Ukrainian drones there. It would be dangerous."
