The AfD and Reform immigration policies are almost identical. There is no plausible reason for considering one far right and the other not.

There is no decency, kindness or common sense in our press as a collective, and big organisations are so worried about their own reputation that they forget it's about real people.

The British media are an absolute disgrace. No an ounce of decency or kindness because that doesn't sell.

Jason Arday's death is another dark day for the British media who never, ever learn lessons from the lives they ruin in the name of lining their own pockets. Vultures.

The media are to blame for this. Whatever he did, he did not deserve to be publicly shamed in such a way. Truly awful. I had hoped we had learnt lessons, but sadly not.

I understand the PM temporarily banning disposable BBQs but this is a symptom of the problem he's yet to comment on, the catastrophic impact to our climate. He must do better in addressing this.

This gets worse... So it turns out the FIFA council incl VPs were kept in the dark about this plan and it's a done deal in private by Infantino. Plus... He's essentially bribing members to back the plan. Get Infantino out. www.bbc.co.uk/sport/footba...

The numbers from last night's game are a joke. From min 67 to 92: England passes attempted = 12 (5 completed) Possession = 7.5% Kane touches in oppo box = 0 in the whole game (Eng total = 7, Arg = 22) Stunning numbers.

Bang average Prem players are not going to stop Messi. Burn, Konsa, Spence are not going to keep the greatest player of all time from doing something magical.

Daniel Sabato @dsabato.bsky.social · 15/07/2026
Arrogance or naivety? A team that only ever wins semis, who always score at least one goal, and you think that bang average Prem players like Burn and Konsa are going to save you.

Reform have now lost six by-elections in a row in England, Scotland and Wales. Their national poll rating is 26% – below Labour in 1983 – and Farage’s approval rating is -37. They’re very far from the voice of the people and need to stop being treated as such.

WOW - Trump crashes out & cuts his interview w/ Welker short as she presses him on his lack of evidence for claiming elections are rigged "You're either crooked or you're stupid. I've had enough. Thank you darling," he tells her" "I traveled all the way to Wisconsin for this interview," she pleads

The irony, all this while Farage continues to pedal his lies and now openly admits pocketing AT LEAST £5 million, while we all foot the bill. Makes you wonder what it would take for his supporters to turn their backs on him.

So, incredibly happy for, and proud of, Hungary. And looks like PM might even manage 2/3rds needed for a deep constitutional undoing of Orban's feckery. If EU has *any* sense whatsoever, it will THROW MONEY at Magyar, like a drunk yuppie at a stripper. www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/c2...
