Just Vorders, "lightening the mood" of Dawn French's mocking dismissal of the Palestinian's Oct 7 terrorist attack that massacred 1200, took over 250 hostages, burnt families alive, råped, butchered, filmed it and celebrated whilst doing it all. ❤️ Oh, how we laughed 😂 🤮

Most 25/25 Championship predictors/betting agents I’ve seen have Derby to finish around 19th next season. Suspect most Derby fans expecting much better? #dcfcfans

RIP Uriah Rennie. His first Prem appointment was Derby’s first match at Pride Park which he had to abandon because of floodlight failure. Described around 2000 by KEITH HACKETT as "the fittest referee we have ever seen on the national and world scene.” #dcfcfans

Remember, Labours Lucy Powell said there would be a run on the pound If the Winter Fuel Allowance wasn't scrapped and didn't envision a scenario in which the Government U-turns This was less than 9 months ago

Worth keeping this chart in mind when considering NHS resources. Very, very big increases in numbers of hospital doctors and nurses between first half of 2019 and first half of 2024. Much smaller increase in measured activity.

Going to say it again. This government is has been in power less than a year. And its fiscal and economic credibility has already been destroyed. You can't treat the public as if they're fools like this, and hope to get away with it. And you can't do it with the financial markets

Hamas just murdered five Palestinian aid workers. Silence from: 🔸️UNRWA 🔸️Amnesty International 🔸️Human Rights Watch 🔸️Francesca Albanese 🔸️António Guterres 🔸️Ken Roth 🔸️Greta Thunberg 🔸️Drop Site News 🔸️Mehdi Hasan

Keir Starmer's strategy in response to the collapse of the government's economic strategy is just to lie. Not be economical with the truth. But tell outright lies. It's an utterly insane approach, and it will have massive implications in two to three years.

I'm old enough to remember when Rachel Reeves thought a 0.1% drop in GDP warranted an emergency budget.

Former Evening Standard editor Baroness Fleet, laying into the BBC: "The BBC is in fact complicit in rise of antisemitism, propagating daily lies of Hamas...It has been captured by the anti-Israel lobby. The Director General Tim Davie, out of his depth, with little apparent

Here's my The Telegraph column, 'Israel’s bravery shames our pusillanimous Prime Minister; Twice before Israel has saved us all from nuclear enemies. Now is not the time for ‘restraint’, but for Israel to finish the job': "According to Sir Keir, “Now is the time for restraint, calm

Six weeks since our last match. No news on investment. Still time re players but we can’t have another season where we are scraping around free agents in 30’s on, or after, deadline day. Disappointing no apparent progress so far #dcfcfans.

Darren Jones MP BBC Question Time For heaven's sake, Darren, just admit that you misspoke. This doubling down is absurd.

How long can this go on? Palestine Action terrorise workers and attack our country from within. Ministers must act.

I respect the right to protest, but this was misguided. These aircraft are incompatible with Israeli fighter aircraft (you knew that right?); but, they are critical for non-combatant evacuation missions. You just made Brits around the World less safe. Not feeling so clever now?

Iran’s ‘insidious propaganda network’ on British soil revealed. Evident Islamic State of Iran represents a genuine threat to UK that needs tackling urgently. Important government acts accordingly to protect us. ⁦Keir Starmer⁩ ⁦David Lammy⁩ thetimes.com/article/14a4e8…

Justin Rowlatt is so tiresome. BBC role him every sunny day in UK. And if we have a crap summer like last year they pack him off to find the sun and preach from somewhere else in Europe.

We constantly hear Labour talk about having to take difficult decisions (e.g. NI increases; withdrawal winter fuel allowance) because of claimed £22bn black hole, but this week it announced to spend £750bn (over decade) but it gets a much public debate as if it was small change.
