Thoughts and prayers are with the mooch tonight…. #katiezacharia

America needs a new president, says every sane person in the world. #slavaukraini

Given the choice between President Zelensky and the disgrace that is currently residing in the White House - I know who I’m choosing 🇺🇦 Come an America - you know what you need to do on the 3rd of November, Trump needs humiliating at the ballot box 🇺🇸

Do you know what really stokes anti-Russian sentiment? The things that Russia says and does. #slavaukraini

First time in Vienna this week - first impressions: ruddy enormous beers 🍻 5 stars, would definitely recommend 🇦🇹

In other news: the Vatican is being hijacked by Catholics.

Thoughts are with Andy Burnham and his family today. Alzheimer's is truly brutal, I'm very sorry for their loss.

The problem with Donald Trump is that he doesn't hold any cards.

Today the government made an announcement on Local Government Reorganisation, read our Leader, Cllr Lesley McLean's response at, www.cherwell.gov.uk/...

Thanks to the Government, North Norfolk had to spend £600,000 on Local Government Reorganisation... ...and now they've changed their mind. So, Secretary of State: where's our £600,000⁉️

Wildberries… and OZON HERE WE GO 🔝

The stark duality of Cat.

Russian troops made minimal gains in July with record losses, says ISW. July 2026 proved to be a turning point for Russian forces, as they faced unparalleled losses—nearly 43,000 soldiers—marking a staggeringly grim chapter in the ongoing conflict. 1/5

Settle a debate between my wife and I - who’s more famous: Stephen King Or JK Rowling Importantly - it’s not who you like more, the question is; who’s more famous?

After going to see the Odyssey with my wife, she’s now having a great time going through our son’s Greek myths books and learning the back story…

If you too are slightly daunted by what to do with your young 'uns over the summer, Cherwell District Council is running a range of free/low-cost activities for children aged 5–16. www.getoxfordshireactive.org/youmovecherw...

Here it is. My manifesto for the 2026 Clacton By-Election. It's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Join me, clean up Clacton and let's make 13th August Bin Day! #VoteBinface #VoteyMcVoteface #YesWeTinCan

BROWDER: Most important thing is that Russians have been led to believe that "special military operation" in Ukraine was some far-off, distant thing that didn't affect average Russian. Now every Russian is affected by it. It's no longer "special military operation", it is a war.

A fantastic signing for Banbury United - welcome to the club Josh - looking forward to seeing you in action at the Spencer Stadium #BUFC #Banburyunited

If Russians are feeling hard done-by because their cheap tat is going up in flames, they should try to imagine how the Ukrainians have been feeling for the last 5 years.

Russian stock market faces record decline over 18 weeks. Source: The Moscow Times. As the Russian stock market continues plummeting, major firms see shares dramatically tumble, reflecting deepening fears of instability. Investors are sprinting away amid whispers of a crisis brewing. 1/5

Bill Browder is definitely not a conspiracy theorist. He’s the man who wrote the Magnitsky Act.

Just shocking news about Ann Widdecombe. Thoughts are with her family. What a truly horrible thing to have happened - no one should have to end their life in this way. Rest in peace Ann.

Has Harry brook got an appointment he needs to get to in a hurry or something? 🏏 #ENGvIND

Genuinely interested to know how Farage feels like the last day or so has gone.

Fair play Rachel Reeves, fair play 👏

🇺🇦 Zelensky: Ukraine is quite rightly responding to Russia for its attacks on our country and for prolonging the war.   Today, our long-range sanctions have reached the Saratov region, Tatarstan and Bashkortostan, the distance from the front line is about 800, 1400 and 1500 kilometers.

God this NATO press conference is horrible to watch. America - how did you let this guy get elected?? #NATO #rutte #trump

I kind of get why Mark Rutte feels he has to suck up to Trump, but good lord it's painful to watch.

Farage: this by election will be the people versus the establishment. . . . The actual election: a privately educated millionaire vs a man who dresses as a bin. First of all: thanks for wasting loads of public money Nigel 😡 Secondly: good luck Binface! Vote Refuse #bindependenceday

Sounds like he may not make it to Thursday…. 🤞

A great comparison between the Hungarian General election and the Belgium USA game last night is that the result was so overwhelming that the fascists couldn’t even attempt to overthrow the result.

The facade is cracking

Uh oh…

Nigel Farage failed to declare that a criminal and crypto gambler paid for his staff, security, drivers, social media output in year before election Reform leader has also received free accommodation in Westminster from George Cottrell as MP. The Times Investigation.

Well well well Nigel… 👋

I’m beginning to think this guy doesn’t have Britain’s best interests at heart… Farage declares earning £270,000 for promoting gold bullion www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

This so-called "Patriot" who has been driving a campaign of hate across Oxfordshire faces charges relating to indecent images of children today. The gall to allegedly act in this way while claiming to protect women & children? I wonder what Farage / Lowe / Yaxley-Lennon will say about this?

French President Emmanuel Macron announced that the French Navy intercepted the Russia-linked shadow fleet tanker Deliver in the Mediterranean Sea near Sicily.

Yes, obviously it is suspended, but is it operating or not? Useless TfL app.

"He's had a milkshake thrown at him, Jo Cox and David Amess were murdered - the man is a whining coward." Read more: www.thelondoneconomic.com/politics/jam...

The governor of Russia’s Nizhny Novgorod region, Gleb Nikitin, confirmed a successful Ukrainian kamikaze drone attack carried out in the morning on an oil refinery located in the city of Kstovo.

Lib Dem Leader Ed Davey has unveiled a billboard campaign across the UK to mark the 10th anniversary of the Brexit referendum today. The billboards call out Reform leader Nigel Farage’s £5 million "reward for campaigning for Brexit, whilst people across the country feel the pinch."

This Messi lad will go far I reckon.

The reflecting pool is being sabotaged by paid protistas
