...was great to see James Woodroof at the game, with his family. On his day off.

Vital win in the last home game of the season, at Plough Lane. Correct me if I'm wrong - I didn't see a single member of the plc or DT board in attendance showing support.

@LaurenceCombyne There's a simple way to stop it. Keeper goes down, all other players must remain in the centre circle

To be fair he had smudged his makeup and it needed attention. 😄😄😄

@StAustellAdam Nice shot, excludes the windmill from the normal angle.

IYKYK.

@GBNEWS Dixon and Costello suggesting that tourettes sufferers shouldn't be invited to the Baftas or maybe kept locked out of hearing in case they cause offence. How ignorant, ableist and disrespectful of somebody who had a right to be there.

The only adult in the room.

Three things that have been said to me in the last month while my #Tourettes has started firing up while out shopping: "People like you shouldn't be out in public" "You need locking away" "I'll f*cking kill you" The last was by a lad in a group who proceeded to drive me away with with threats of physical violence. This is just three of the most egregious reactions I've had in the space of a month. Now imagine that happens every month, every year. Can you see why we feel ostracised? Why we're often afraid to go out? I don't just tic words. I jerk my head, flail my arms. I meow, and cluck like a chicken. I blow raspberries until my lips are sore, I click my tongue over and over again. Can you imagine how embarrassing this is? Getting laughed at everywhere? And then words come out and laughter turns to disgust & threats.

FT: AFC Wimbledon 0 - 2 Plymouth Arygyle Not our day today. #AFCW

Green Party candidate Hannah Spencer exposed as £1.2million property-hoarding hypocrite The Gorton and Denton by-election hopeful owns a lucrative £1.2 million real estate portfolio, including a £736,000 second home bought in August 2024. She publicly slams second homeowners for “hoarding” properties and rails against landlords, while her party demands the abolition of private renting and aggressive rent controls. Spencer bought her first home at 24 with help from her mother and has boasted online about outbidding first-time buyers and flipping properties for profit. Peak champagne socialism: preach equality and revolution while quietly stacking a property empire most Brits could only dream of.

@afcw_women Huge congrats

2 Hundreds of fans had arranged their travel for this fixture. AFC Wimbledon made the EFL aware of this matter and requested for the game not be moved, due to the likely disruption to many of our overseas fans flying in for the fixture, but our request was ultimately refused."

1 "Over five months ago in September 2025, this weekend and fixture was designated as Worldwide Wombles Weekend - a special international celebration hosted by The Dons Trust, supported by Wimbledon in Sporting History (WiSH) and the Wimbledon Old Players Association (WOPA).

@JamesMelville She needs to look in the mirror. Still £40k in stamp duty unpaid

Angela Rayner has called for Keir Starmer to allow the Intelligence and Security Committee to oversee the publication of Peter Mandelson's vetting documents. Revenge is a dish best served cold.

In the autumn of 1942, a slight, 32-year-old Polish social worker named Irena Sendler passed through the gates of the Warsaw Ghetto with a carpenter’s toolbox in her arms. Beneath the hammers and nails lay a drugged six-month-old infant, breathing softly, utterly silent. One cry would have meant instant death for both of them. Irena smiled at the guards; they waved her through. They never suspected that this quiet woman would repeat the journey 2,499 more times. The ghetto was a slow-motion extermination. Starvation, disease, and random murder stalked every street. Jewish parents faced a choice no human being should ever have to make: keep their child and watch them waste away, or hand them to a stranger who promised a chance—however thin—at life. Irena came officially to inspect for typhus. In reality, she came to steal children from death. Babies left in toolboxes or ambulances under false bottoms. Toddlers sedated and tucked into potato sacks. Older children led by the hand through the stinking, lightless sewers while German boots marched overhead. “Not a sound,” she whispered as rats scurried past their feet. She knew that the rescued children would be given new names, new religions, new families. Their pasts would vanish unless someone remembered. So, on fragile scraps of tissue paper, Irena wrote each child’s real name, their parents’ names, and their new hiding place. She rolled the papers tight, slipped them into glass jars, and buried them beneath an apple tree in a neighbor’s garden. If she were caught and killed, the truth might still survive. She was caught. On October 20, 1943, the Gestapo kicked in her door. They took her to Pawiak Prison and demanded the list. When she refused, they smashed both her legs with iron bars. Then her feet. Then her arms. For weeks the beatings continued. She never spoke. They scheduled her execution. On the appointed morning, guards dragged the broken woman from her cell. Instead of a firing squad, she found herself outside the prison walls—alive. The Polish underground council Żegota had bribed a guard to mark her file “shot while trying to escape.” Officially dead, Irena Sendler limped back into the shadows to keep working.When the war finally ended, the first thing she did was dig up the jars under the apple tree. She spent years trying to return the children—now scattered across convents, farms, and foster homes—to whatever family might remain. Almost no parents had survived. But the children had. Because of her, 2,500 Jewish boys and girls lived to grow up, to marry, to have children and grandchildren of their own—an entire secret branch of the human family tree that the Nazis never managed to cut down.For decades her story stayed buried deeper than the jars themselves. Then, in 1999, four high-school girls in rural Kansas stumbled across a brief mention of her name. They found the old woman still living quietly in Warsaw and brought her courage back into the light. Journalists called her the greatest rescuer of the Holocaust. Irena only shook her head.“I could have saved more,” she said. “That regret follows me to the grave.”Irena Sendler—armed with nothing but a ghetto work permit, a toolbox, and a refusal to look away—proved that even in the heart of the worst evil humanity has ever devised, one determined person can still keep the darkness from winning completely.

Nothing on @BBCNews about #IranMassacre - not one article. If I’m being kind it might be because the general population of Britain can’t quite believe there is now overwhelming evidence that so called “security forces” in another country are exterminating their citizens by the thousands mostly shooting them in the head at point blank range for peaceful protest when in Britain you can’t get the police to come out if you’ve had your car stolen. bbc.co.uk/news

30,000 innocent Iranians killed in 2 days - a rate of killing that resembles Babi Yar in Holocaust, says Time: “The only parallel offered by online databases occurred in the Holocaust. On the outskirts of Kyiv on Sept. 29 and 30, 1941, Nazi death squads executed 33,000 Ukrainian Jews by gunshot in a ravine known as Babyn Yar." time.com/nextgen-previe…

A brief message to all those politicians, including many who served, who are queuing up to show solidarity with the Afghan veterans and the military community: Crass though Trump's comments were, this is a bandwagon the vast majority of you have absolutely no right to jump on. Not in the week when YOU voted to shaft the NI veterans and when, even as I type this, thousands of veterans are living on the streets and others in poverty whilst you willingly hand everything they need to people who have arrived here illegally. You should be ashamed of yourselves, because the public certainly are.
