Cape Verde is as populous as Edinburgh. Yet over 90 minutes, Argentina, Spain, Uruguay and Saudi Arabia between them could not land a defeat on the Blue Sharks. And they were a joy to watch as well... be more Cape Verde (especially if you play your home games at Hampden) :-)

This may be the most remarkable thing I've ever seen at 1:30 in the morning. And that really is saying something.

One woman has done more to hold Trump to account than all of mainstream media combined, E Jean Carroll. Shout her name loudly

👑🤓 Burnham will be in the big job in a month 💰🪖 Then it's easy: sort economy, perform Lazarus number on public services and buy many guns. Also solve immigration conundrum 😱🚣‍♂️ Then, if he doesn't piss off OAPs and dance with Mandelson, he can lose the next election because of immigration conundrum

JINGS, CRIVVENS, HELP M'BOAAAAAAAB!

AN ACTUAL WIN! Such a hard watch but Scotland are top of a group including Brazil and Morocco ⚽ Worth waiting 36 years for but I've got to order new fingernails now

AI-powered Google search can't decide if I'm searching or giving it instructions. Don't be like Google search, kids. Keep thinking for yourselves.

Yep. It's a killer.

One thing I don't want nuclear pigs doing is exploding

New Scotland unlocked

You would really have to hate your kids. Nothing says playroom like stain-magnet colours, a flag purloined from a protest, and an execution settee where small people wait to be devoured by the local zoo rejects

Makerfield for Burnham ... I mean you'd think anywhere within flying distance of Manchester would do it. But how are voters going to react to a stitch-up like this? And if the Tories and Reform play nicely (big if) there is real peril here

Sigh. It was all going so well too

Fucking hell, if Streeting waits any longer to announce he's actually standing, his ratings are going to be about 200yds from the Earth's core

Have Harp and Oakeshott ever been seen in the same room together?

While Streeting does his thing, Farage gets deeper in the weeds. If £5m was a 'gift', he could do as he pleased with it. But recall he said the money was to pay for security? Either he had £1.4m from his other work *that he used for a house rather than security*, or the 'security' line was nonsense

You went there

Every so often, my timeline serves up a neat little juxtaposition that sums up what an utter Snafu Junkie civilisation can be

Starmer strife, King's Speech, Trump madness latest, wars, plague ships ... and the most-read story on the BBC website this lunchtime is about salty sandwiches. THIS IS WHAT THE VOTERS CARE ABOUT.

Portrait of a young woman deciding whether to watch Netflix or Prime

Break with the status quo? Mate, the status quo has already broken with you, quite spectacularly. And part of the reason for that is magnolia shit like this, a bland bucket of clichés that advance your cause (whatever that may be) not one iota. WHAT DO YOU ACTUALLY STAND FOR?

Tesla's radical approach to wheel adhesion reminds me of this gem... www.youtube.com/watch?v=3m5q...
