Ah, yes,the social construct where my son regularly behaves in a life-threatening manner and will need life long medication and support to stay alive. I have no words for the people who commissioned this rage bait title for viewing figures. Because we have to come out and immediately call this out.

Channel 4 has announced documentary “The Great ADHD Myth?” It “seeks to determine whether ADHD is a genuine neurodevelopmental disorder, or a social construct.”

We’re sourcing our reshuffle news from an alternate timeline of the 1980s…

I think after this Britain should give the Falklands to Spain, as a treat

Heart breaks for Argentina. Couldn’t have happened to a nicer team. And they’re taking it so well, a credit to themselves

I did not know we had a few Spaniards living near us. Well, good for them and I hope they very much enjoy their night.

Wayne Rooney speaks for everyone.

Who gives a shit? They do this every time and hold up graffitied bedsheet. They have zero sympathy from fans the world over, ignore them as ever and support Spain.

In August 2024 Rodri and Álvaro Morata were rightly banned for one match for singing “Gibraltar is Spain”. Now the Argentine players who celebrated with the “Falklands are Argentine” banner must be barred from the final.

Spain to save us from these arseholes. Vamos.

Remember to scream loudly out of the window at random moments to keep your iPlayer-watching neighbours on their toes.

DJ Otzi. Fucking DJ Otzi. How did this creep into football?

Following on from Vindaloo, I'm now hearing a dreadfully flat version of Three Lions, complete with them mumbling the words "Jules Rimet" because they probably don't know what that was. I miss is when Portugal used to win a lot. The celebrations here were far better.

The best news is the semi-final is on the BBC so we don't have to listen to Sam Matterface and Lee Dixon again.

fascinatingly* the French news is translating "Count Binface" as « le Compte Tête-de-Poubelle » rather than « Visage-de-Poubelle) which is, in fairness, more accurate (his entire head is a bin, not just his face) typical British media not asking the important underlying questions * ta gueule

I give you the current state of British politics: "Chancellor Rachel Reeves says she won't stop Nigel Farage spending "the summer arguing with a bin"."

And backed by the NEU by the looks of their social media.

Count Binface. Election candidate.

Now that it's ostensibly Farage v Binface, is the latter actually wanting to be an MP? Because stranger things have happened in elections than a comedian with a bin on his head winning. See Ukraine.

On my way, Clacton.

Not saying that game was stolen from Egypt but it is now on display at museum in London.

A one word statement would suffice.

NEW: Nigel Farage to give statement on “my future in public life” at 2pm

Hang it in the Musée Magritte.

Bluesky this morning:

My worst new habit is trying to see if I can get likes beneath the AI boomer video slop that has absolutely flooded Facebook in recent months.

Tube is definitely quieter. Not knocking that.

What a night for England. You could hear London roar in the dark. Quarter-finals, here we come. ⚽

3.22am and I now hear a "what was that?" That, son, was a penalty which apparently now requires fireworks to be let off. I hope Norway win the fucking tournament.

Couldn't give a fuck about this match. I do give a fuck about having a disregulated kid who doesn't know what time of day it is tho. Courtesy of some git who thinks it's hilarious to spend half time doing fuck knows what racket in their garden. On behalf of my kids teacher, up yours.

I will say I'm very happy it's Bellingham causing the sleepless night.

Yaaaaas my son is awake. Great. Just what I need.

Thank goodness that nasty obnoxious team have been beaten. Cheats. And that idiot ref better be on his way home.

50 fucking cameras all over the place and this shithousery was allowed to happen. Absolute disgrace to football.

One of the lessons of the last two years is that Labour urgently needs to stop being afraid of its own shadow. Burnham should appoint whoever he thinks would be the best Chancellor and throw his authority behind them. The Daily Mail will try to kill them anyway. So just govern.

Hard not to regard this as a classic example of a pre-emptive campaign by certain sectors, along with their media sympathisers, to discourage a new prime minister from appointing someone who might damage their interests in the long and short term. And it will almost certainly work.

I’m not saying the debate in the U.K. has moved to the right, but Ed Miliband is basically seen as Pol Pot for aiming for a climate target first agreed to by…I think Theresa May’s government? Definitely Johnson’s. And this chat is going on during the middle of a record-breaking heatwave
