7 out of the 22 man England football squad that won the World Cup in 1966 had a parent or grandparent born outside England. Therefore, according to Suella Braverman, about 32% of them were not English. The majority were of Irish descent. Peter Bonetti's parents were emigrants from Switzerland.

Saw this on Wikipedia this morning. We were being warned about the risks posed by technology (machines) as far back as the mid 19th century.

Every time I think Trump has gone too far, he just goes and takes that leap further into atrociousness. Surely that's him finished now with at least 13% of his electorate. But then again...

Hadush Kebatu arrested after mistake by prison staff. Human error. That's the story, however Sky News managing to create wall to wall coverage, with the narrative of the government failing and Broken Britain etc. Wonder if they'll pick up on him not wearing a poppy.

It’s a sign of how far to the right British politics have been driven that the extremist idea of leaving the ECHR is now mainstream. The correct response by a journalist when a British politician says they want to leave the ECHR ought to be an incredulous: "Are you out of your tiny mind?"

Maybe Mandelson can't be banned from the House of Lords but removal of the Labour whip would is surely essential. Otherwise Starmer is continuing to look weak.

Corbyn and Sultana's new socialist party seems uncertain about its view on Scottish independence. However, air it is to be seen as a modern, democratic socialist party it *must* at least support the principle of Scotland's right to choose. Otherwise it's just another anti-democratic unionist party.

Why couldn't the Scottish Government save Grangemouth? Energy is reserved to Westminster. Why can't Scotland welcome more care workers from overseas? Immigration is reserved to Westminster. Why can't the Scottish Government tackle drug addiction better? Drug laws are reserved to Westminster.

Suppose the unthinkable happens, the country loses its mind and puts #Farage in charge as PM. The way his Ltd company is set up no one can challenge him. He is the party. So if he is as feckless as Liz Truss (or worse) his party couldn't get rid of him and nor could we. We'd elect a dictator

America, this is how it's done. The French far right political fraudster Marine le Pen has been found guilty of embezzlement by a court and disqualified from holding public office. The French aren't afraid of holding power to account. Former President Sarkozy was found guilty of corruption in 2021

The reason the UK Labour government is cutting support for the sick and disabled is because, like the Tories before them, they know it’s easier for them to hound the poor and ill than it is to properly tax the rich. Cowards the lot of them. #Indyclan #Austerity #Starmer #AnasSarwar
