18 months ago, Trump was yelling at Zelenskyy that he didn’t have any cards and was about to lose the war. Now he’s begging him to stop bombing Russia.

On this day in 1940 the Luftwaffe threw more than a 1000 planes at the south east in an effort to take control of the skies above England, which was essential for their invasion plan. The RAF withstood the onslaught, handing the Luftwaffe a beating & the invasion was cancelled. #BattleOfBritainDay

Reports of rail disruption in the east midlands: apparently there’s a points failure in Coventry.

How on earth did Foden jump the long queue to kick Fernandes in the nuts?
That VSC utterly buggered up Lando’s race. It now isn’t a question of if Antonelli will win the title but at which race he’ll do it.
A reminder that Delo previously pled guilty in the US to violating money laundering protections and agreed to pay a $10 million fine for "willfully” breaking the law with his BitMex platform, which was described as "in effect a money laundering platform.” This is who owns Farage now
Guardian: Trump promises "US citizens will receive $5,000 if Republicans win midterms". Which sounds a lot like a bribe. But that's by the by - remember, a Trump promise is a lie that hasn't happened yet.
The #SenilePeadophileImbecile is the what happens when you combine the cowardly lion, the heartless tin man & the air-headed scarecrow & stuff the unholy result into a badly fitting suit & repeatedly smash it on the head until it’s quite deluded. And then teach it to shit itself.
I see the #SenilePeadohileImbecile had another, public, delusional fever dream about September 11th. He was 4 miles away, watching on TV & calling in to boast that his tower was now the biggest in Manhatten after the WTC towers fell. He wasn’t there & he certainly wasn’t carried out by firemen.
For the first time this European campaign #ComeOnYouRedmen! A good start is vital to create momentum and beating Athletico would be a sweet victory to kick on from. ##YNWA #JFT97 #FO20
The balaclava blackshirted thugs are a result of a decade of politicians, tabloids and the broadcast media telling racists they have "legitimate concerns." The normalisation of actual fascism rhetoric and action has led to this and is a far greater "legitimate concern" than any migrant on a boat.

… Trump told several insane lies today during a ceremony for 9/11 first responders and the Tunnel to Towers Foundation in DC.

Bill Bryson’s words seem appropriate to post right now
Starmer was pretty quick to proscribe ‘Palestinian Action’. Will Burnham have the balls to do the same for ‘Patriot Platform’?
German pilot Ulrich Steinhilper, over London: "Glorious is the azure-blue sky, sun dimmed by smoke; the cross-hatched contrails of fighters" On this day in 1940 Hitler turned the might of the Luftwaffe against London. By dusk the East End was alight. #TheBlitz
The fact that the Grim Reaper has so far spared the #SenilePeadohphileImbecile means that, because he definitely doesn’t qualify for the other place, either Satan eschews his company or is having trouble mashing all the previous famous punishments (such as that of Prometheus) into one eternal one.
So it’s explicit: instead of waving placards or gluing themselves to stuff, all people protesting against genocide or the climate disaster had to do is wear matching black paramilitary outfit’s & balaclavas & the rozzers would look the other way. Now that’s #TwoTierPolicing
It was undoubtedly an incredible drive but it seems clear that Toto’s protégé Kimi is the Mercedes number 1. Got to feel sorry for George as he must now realise that he’ll never match his mate Lando & win the title (who’s unlikely to win another championship as McLaren have fallen away).
The last time an Italian won their home Grand Prix I was in nappies as I was only a few months old. #Chapeau
Kent police statement: “Kent Police responded to a spontaneous protest in #Dover during the morning of Saturday 5 September” Hundreds of men turning up in black outfits & balaclavas isn’t something “spontaneous”!
Seems the difference between ‘protestors’ and ‘terrorists’ is that protestors wear balaclavas while terrorists hold placards.
