Class solidarity.

Good. Now arrest those who were with him for conspiracy, and then arrest those who tried to set fire to a hotel for arson. And then proscribe the group as a terrorist organisation. Which is what you are if you use violence for political ends. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

The UK desperately needs an independent national news broadcaster that can be trusted by everyone. Unfortunately, the BBC is not it.

Another pointless poll that doesn't spell out what Rejoin means.

Some people seem to think I'm referring to, I don't know, Coldplay's later works not hitting the same way, no, I mean this. This objectively sucks!

I avoid Kuenssberg like the plague but having stumbled on her by chance today she exudes awfulness in the topics she chooses and the way she poses them

Brewster having to explain to Fuseini how to start the bounce 😂 The club need a bounce couch #dcfc #dcfcfans

Odds against us today with form and injuries (Cashin FFS). Would take a point now #dcfcfans #dcfc

Fuseini !!!!! #dcfcfans #dcfc

JE really has to take the handbrake off in the 2nd half. The team are licking wounds. Covering up hasn't worked. Might as well come out fighting #dcfc #dcfcfans

Burnley look susceptible to pressure. We have to apply it #dcfc #dcfcfans

Another really poor goal conceded. Ozoh loses his man. Vickers flaps at thin air and leaves an empty net. Two poor mistakes. Need to show more going forward now #dcfc #dcfcfans

Now imagine what the uproar and repercussions would be if this were being done by supporters of Palestine. Or by Just Stop Oil.

Lisa Nandy tells the racists they have "roared" and that she and the government are listening to them.

I’m just a person on my fucking knees begging the government to use its absolutely massive majority to do something extremely fucking popular: save our democracy.

Another loss. Really feel for the players. Much more coherence and threat going forward. Genuinely exciting watching Meister and Fuseini. Crippling bad luck with injuries and a few decisions. But so long as we defend like that we've no chance. Would settle for next 3 at 0-0 #dcfc #dcfcfans

Comedy moment as Brum player spoons ball over empty net from 3 yards out. Langas watching once again. Can we punish them? Time yet, keep the faith #dcfcfans #dcfc

Such a frustrating watch. I can't remember us being so vulnerable defensively. We're much improved going forward but if you keep gifting the opposition 2 goals there's no hope. It's not just the goals conceded, it's the goals almost conceded #dcfc #dcfcfans

Superb counter attack, Fraulo inches from converting Clarks cross #dcfc #dcfcfans

Sickening to concede from a corner. Cashin blatantly fouled to prevent him going for the ball. When it rains it pours #dcfc #dcfcfans

Holy smoke, we can't catch a break. Meister carried off with an injury. He's been superb today. Hope it's not too serious #dcfc #dcfcfans

Got to be better when we lose the ball 2nd half, otherwise we'll concede more. Game there to be won and we look much better going forward. Hope we can put our stamp on this game #dcfcfans #dcfc

JE chose an attacking line up and it worked both ways. A trademark Ward cross leading to our goal. A trademark Ward failure to stop their cross leading to their goal. Maybe we just need to outscore them #dcfcfans #dcfc

And we concede yet another soft goal. So disappointing after taking the lead #dcfc #dcfcfans

We're too open on the break. Taking chances. A goal here would really help us #dcfc #dcfcfans

Cashin looking like his old self. Superb back post interception to prevent a goal #dcfc #dcfcfans
