There’s no point watching the England v Argentina World Cup semi-final tomorrow. FIFA has already decided the outcome. Hint: it won’t be England in the final. #WorldCup #FIFA #Infantino #Corruption #WorldCup2026

The US Government and FIFA make fine bedfellows. Headed by vile grifting narcissists, institutionally corrupt and totally geared to extort vast sums of money from the many to then gift it to the few. #FIFA #Trump #WorldCup #US #Oligarchy #Corrupt #Enshitification

Keir Starmer can’t read the room and is a timid technocrat, afraid of the Red Wall and East Coast Racist votes that he’s long since lost to Reform. Use your majority for good, Starmer, and rejoin the EU. A rising tide raises all boats. #Rejoin www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Signed for a variety of reasons, but one of which is that this would bring much upland land into public ownership (ideally for nature restoration).

Honestly. Couldn’t care less about the posts from Americans whining about the price of “gas”. It’s been far too cheap in the US for far too long. Welcome to the rest of the world. You’ve been living a lie for decades and the rest of us have zero sympathy. #Gas #Petrol #Iran #Trump #IdiotYanks

Start a war against Iran. Incite European powers to get involved, diverting them from Ukraine. Cause an energy crisis then relax sanctions against Russia. Allow Asian nations to buy oil from Russia, helping to finance its war against Ukraine. All too convenient. Trump is a Russian asset. #Krasnov

American gun nutters have long argued for their inviolable right to own guns, citing the 2nd amendment as justification at every opportunity. Well now they’re facing a tyrannical government, where are they? Suddenly the 2nd amendment doesn’t matter? If only Americans understood irony.

Fantastic evening in Oxford listening to the legend that is #MilesHunt. 36 years since I first listened to #TheWonderStuff and I still never tire of his music. Thanks Miles - superb evening and lifelong memories.

Petition: Commit to a referendum in May 2028 asking the next government to rejoin the EU
Polls show that many people of the UK believe leaving the EU was a mistake. It is time politicians stopped ignoring the views of the people. The government needs to consult the people about what to do...

After too many years, the heavily tuned 1.8 K-Series is once again in the back of my Elise. Joy of joys, I’ve finally been able to get the lightweight flywheel and clutch to work - previously couldn’t engage any gears. Still lots to do but it’s close to being back on the road again.

Petition: Commission a public inquiry into the impact of the UK exiting the European Union
Given that it has stated its aim of growing the UK economy, we think the Government needs to quantify the effects of exiting the European Union as soon as possible by setting up an inquiry.

I massively applaud #BritishAirways for the quality of their safety briefing videos. 10/10 for using comedy to get people’s attention. Genuinely amusing and far more engaging than the usual bored cabin steward standing in the aisle. Other airlines should learn from them.
