Terrible newspaper column @thetimes today from Rod Liddle, on the reaction from Liverpool supporters being upset with the chants from Luton last Sunday.
It’s strange that he doesn’t mention the Hillsborough tragedy being behind those chants, but writes it off as terrace banter. But you would expect that from him knowing what he’s written in the past & who he still writes for now. Awful journalist.
Also bizarre the sports editor of @thetimes would allow that column to go in his paper 🤬

Divided UK. A sad sight to see from where I live. Country needs a GE & period of reflection & coming together. I'm doubtful without sweeping constitutional reforms & meaningful rapprochement with EU any improvement is possible. Certainly Brexit facilitated populism isn't helping – at Slovak Republic

Incredibly bleak to see these thugs on Whitehall on Armistice Day. And for all their mock-concerned hypocrisy, it's Sunak and Braverman who encouraged them there.

Stop putting sh*t in our lake.
The message is simple. I will be outside United Utilities information centre every Monday from 9am - 10am until a commitment is made to stop putting sewage into Windermere.
We already have those wanting to join the strike so please head to savewindermere.com if you have any ideas.
@Feargal_Sharkey I would love it if you would consider joining me for an hour.
@gretathunberg feel free to come too…

Please help me protect life in Ukraine. Russia has targeted Ukrainian civilians and civilian infrastructure. This means the water supplies and energy supplies that people need to stay alive, especially throughout the winter. Last winter Russia tried to freeze the Ukrainians. 1/

For the first time this decade...Britain has a NEW newspaper 🗞️🔥
It's not funded by billionaires or shady advertisers 💰
It's TRULY independent 🕊️
Because Britain deserves a real newspaper, with real journalism.

I am 34 y.o. Belarusian living in exile in Poland.
FIRST time in my life I will see a peaceful transition of power. To opposition. After democratic elections. With 73% turnout.
My message to you - value and protect your democracy. You can't even imagine what a miracle you have.

In the light of what’s happened in Israel and Gaza, a song about non-violence seems somewhat ridiculous, even laughable, but our prayers have always been for peace and for non-violence…
But our hearts and our anger, you know where that’s pointed. So sing with us… and those beautiful kids at that music festival…

How many takes did this require guys? As judging by the view out of the windows, Lee and Gary are in two entirely different places.

Last night, somebody cut down the Sycamore Gap tree on Hadrian's Wall Path.
Our country increasingly resembles an open air facility for sociopaths.
I can see why people advocate 'an eye for an eye'.

Rishi Sunak's statement on #netzero feels like a punch in the stomach. He's lied to the public. He's dodging scrutiny. He's trashing our children's futures. Enough is enough. He's not fit to govern. He simply has to go.

Diplomatically put, as ever - but another court case looks on the cards …
The UK Government has announced a new approach to reaching Net Zero. The CCC has issued its response.
ALT “The Government not only has a legal obligation to meet its Net Zero 2050 target. It also has a commitment to hit the interim emission reduction targets it has put into law. “The Climate Change Committee has an obligation to assess progress towards those targets. In June, we said in our Progress Report that we were less confident in the Government’s ability to deliver its 2030 and 2035 commitments than we were a year previously. “We need go away and do the calculations, but today’s announcement is likely to take the UK further away from being able to meet its legal commitments. This, coupled with the recent unsuccessful offshore wind auction, gives us concern. “More action is needed and we await the Government’s new plan for meeting their targets and look forward to receiving their response to our Progress Report, expected at the end of October.” Professor Piers Forster, Chair of the Climate Change Committee
