Trump during the Spain celebrations

[Jenny Eclair voice] why would anybody do that to me

Here is behind the scenes footage of Reece and me trying to be excited

YOU'VE GOT BRAILLE, a new audio sitcom starring Steve Pemberton, Alison Steadman, Chloe Petts and Reece Finnegan is OUT NOW! it's been one of my favourite things to work on, please please please do give it a listen wherever you get your podcasts! podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/y...

*sadly dons Argentina kit*

*pushes glasses to the top of my nose* actually this *is* the first time it's ever entered the UK unless you think the United Kingdom existed 900 years ago, what you mean this is the first time it's entered the landmass currently known as the UK in 900 years, you're WELCOME

HE'S LOST MASON, I REPEAT, FARAGE HAS LOST MASON

oh no, oh no, sorry everyone, I love this

all of us waiting for footage of Ronaldo crying

i don't think Ronaldo should start trying to kill me as well

they've turned off quote tweets and replies but I'd just like to say that the UK was the biggest recipient of the 1948 Marshall Plan funds from the USA (yes same year as the birth of the NHS) so saying the US had razed us off every penny to pay for weapons is pretty galling tbh

I found it here you go @charlesdeane.bsky.social

hahaha fucking hell Guy

regardless of the Scotland result I'm looking forward to the totally normal way BBC Sport is going to cover it

thank you for finally giving me permission Costa, up until this point all of my sips have been sordid shameful backalley affairs

Changed my mind, we should dunk on Will

glad the big news outlets are finally picking this story up

The vote is being counted in Makerfield. And it's a vote of real importance. But what is a vote? Well, it's a way of electing officials. Whoever has the highest number, wins. But what are numbers? Well, they can start as small as 1, and can go up to 4. After that though, things get tricky.

Also interested to know how the Labour Party was forged out of the shipyards of Belfast, given the Labour Party has never stood for government in Belfast

Al Carns, buddy, the entire point of the GFA is to ensure there is a political, nonviolent path to what the IRA were trying to achieve. what do you think happens if you take that away?

BBC Sport stop making everything about Liverpool challenge: impossible

Currently listening to @feargalc.bsky.social 's brilliant Northern Ireland: The Fragile Peace and it's a really clear and accessible look at the politics of the region, showing how history from 1690 onwards haunts it, while making sense of an often impenetrable sectarian culture

ah yes, that untold story. one of the least told stories in sport, I imagine

my "this isn't the start of a pandemic" statement is raising a lot of questions already answered by my statement

Finished this and then listened to Close To Home by Michael Magee which was excellent but also very painful, you ever get the sense that everything is completely fucked beyond salvation and we never deserve to know peace? Anyway now I'm on a Robert Harris book because I'm a coward

Finished this, it was great and heartbreaking and sadly inevitable, am now listening to The Cold Cold Ground which, despite looking like a book that has an advert on the tube with lines like "Professor Brett McMuscles Has 24 Hours To Find The Lancashire Strangler", is actually really rather good

[climbing out of my car which is now embedded in my neighbours' front room, turning to them hands on hips] honestly I'm as mad about this as you are
