In order to get elected, Barack Obama will start a war with Iran.

.JD Vance owner Peter Thiel, says America is like Weimar Germany in the 1920s: “Liberalism is exhausted… Democracy whatever that is, is exhausted… so we have to start talking far outside the Overton Window.” Holy shit. He is literally taking Hitler’s side to justify himself.

Looking forward to making it to the year end without being held to account for racist bullying at school, leading a party that was infiltrated by Russia, lying about who paid for my house in Frinton, election fraud and all Reform run councils putting up council tax.

Some at the BBC is having a laugh right?

I’m still not convinced better preparation would have made much difference to this #Ashes series, but it’s getting harder and harder to defend the position that the preparation was fine.

Still very much ambivalent about McCullum, but Key needs to be sacked and a serious DoC appointed who is prepared to enforce a proper backroom staff and some discipline to the England team. #Ashes2025 #EnglandCricket

I hope there isn’t an overreaction to the failures of this series. England look so much better when they are trying to and being positive. Yes there are flaws in the current squad and it’s culture, but there are also huge strengths that shouldn’t be lost #englandcricket

Trump has: - Illegally & unconstitutionally attacked Venezuela - Provided Netanyahu with $12B in arms sales - Given Argentina's president a $40B bailout - Approved the sale of jets & tanks to Saudi Arabia - Given Qatar an Air Force facility in Idaho America first? Really?

Something to think about from Jason Kander

When I think about Donald Trump, I think Henry VIII. Henry did irreparable harm to England, no matter his celebrity. Made England an isolated, weak nation dependent on symbols of strength rather than actual influence. I’m t didn’t really recover in any meaningful way quickly

England’s opener today, Zak Crawley, and number 11 Adil Rashid have each batted 251 times in first class cricket in their careers. Adil Rashid has a better first class batting average. #SLvsENG

There are now more members of Liz Truss' Cabinet in Nigel Farage's team than in Kemi Badenoch's team.

British TV anchor Kamali Melbourne of Sky News with a moving, personal response to Trump’s posting of the racist clip of the Obamas. I know Kamali just a little. I’m proud of him for saying this — and sad we’re in a moment when he has to.

It’d be really sad if Australia fell out of the T20 World Cup due to rain. *does rain dance*

Never let Nigel Farage try to convince you he’s fighting the “elite”. He flew to the US to do a paid speech for a think tank this weekend, that’s the reason he’s there.

Pre season action at Northamptonshire CCC

Don’t know the last time I bought one of these! So excited for this season for some unknowable reason!

This is usual nonsense, and if it wasn’t he’d allow comments!
