The BBC's political programmes are now little more than podcasts with the same group of opinionated but uninformative pundits. I've got the pub for this level of political insight, thanks.

Austerity has benefitted bond traders but impoverished UK society and led to the rise of populism. Is it right that we carry on adhering to their interests, asks Guardian columnist Andy Beckett

FIFA have achieved what should be impossible: making football fans (including this one) dislike the World Cup. You can't get more incompetent than that.

My wife would notice if I bought a new pair of socks. I've always had time for Sturgeon, but her lack of curiosity at her husband's shopping habits is hard to understand. John could have gone in harder (and certainly has done in the past - see Mandelson P) but has shown restraint here.

Another excellent first half. Needed another goal though, as once again we looked less convincing after half time. Fortunately Spurs were poor.

There is a lot of convenient amnesia about Peter Mandelson’s New Labour days. Let’s jog some memories | George Monbiot
Yes, he betrayed the national interest in his dealings with Jeffrey Epstein – but also in his sanctioned role as enabler of corporate power, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

Behaviour consistent with what I would expect from a FIFA peace prize winner. If one of the qualified teams had the balls to say: "screw the 2026 World Cup, we're out", I would give them my peace prize.

The Trump administration is the epitome of a Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organisation. Although the RICO laws are meant to target organised crime they can probably apply to disorganised crime as well.

Wrong bird, wrong year, wrong country.
Screenshot of an X post from MeidasTouch stating that a photo Trump shared claiming to show a bald eagle killed by a windmill is actually a falcon in Israel from 2017. The image includes two side-by-side photos of a dead bird lying on the ground near wind turbines, with red circles and annotations highlighting dates and sources.

🚨 “Can I tell you how many times in the last 45 years the European Court of Human Rights has ruled against the UK when it comes to deporting people from this country - only 13 times - in 45 years” Please remember this in 2026 when Nigel Farage tells you we must leave the ECHR to control our borders
