Think it's pretty likely he would have gotten in had it not been for many of us holding our nose.

Cannot wait to campaign against her at the next election.

Feel sick and ashamed at having voted for her at the last election.

I was one of many in her constituency who voted to keep the grifter Akhmed Yakoob out of parliament. Turns out her presence in this government is more damaging than his presence in parliament would have been.

More fun though!

Lille, Roma, Porto, Lyon would be a very "UEFA Cup Heritage" route

I stood outside a polling station in Gorton and I don't know about family voting but I did see Reform asking voters for their address as they went in.

Run that by your election agent Matt and see if its legal.

The wholesale changes to the back 4 make me very nervous. This is exactly the kind of game that Carlos switches off in.

Everything Everything were *unbelievable* in Brum last night. There's nothing quite like the alchemy you get when a band is on top form with a fully engaged crowd in a great venue. Best gig I've been to this year.

Genuinely surprised that Bombay Bicycle Club came in at #1! It's 2014 all over again...

Their set in Notts was genuinely joyous though - one of the highlights of the year for sure.

Here’s a short story about who wins and loses from the status quo of our inheritance tax rules - and about, what you might politely call β€˜sub-optimal’ journalism🧡

In a world that has chosen to align itself against some of the world's most marginalised, solidarity with all trans people on Trans Day Of Remembrance.

Important context here:

● over half of farms are less than 49 acres (20 hectares)

● "a big farm" is 217 acres.

Now let's see who's angry:

● Clarkson farm is 1,000 acres
● Lloyd Webber farms 4,000 acres
● Viscount Rothermere (Mail owner) 4,700 acres
● Dyson owns 36,000 acres

Jeremy Clarkson is turning up to the protest tomorrow.

A reminder that he bought his 312-acre farm in 2012 for Β£4.25million in HIS OWN WORDS so that he:

*would not be required pay death duties on the land*

For a guy that supposedly knew nothing about Project 2025, he sure is putting a metric shit ton of them in his administration.

Absolutely grim how completely Trump has captured the UFC and its audience. Every PPV has become a festival of propaganda with even the biggest fighters debasing themselves to kiss the ring.

I'm sorry but I don't think you can do "oh the Dems didn't talk about this one issue I love so that's why they lost" in *this* election, democracy was and is on the line, Trump is a horrible man who ran a horrible campaign, sometimes you have to just face the reality of the electorate being awful
