@implausibleblog Why is this no-mark getting air time?

NIgel Farage, "We have to provide a new home every two minutes to deal with migration" Naga Munchetty, "Where did you get that?" Farage, "A migrant a minute comes to Britain" Munchetty, "How many are you saying come to Britain?" Farage, "2.5 million.. One in thirty on the streets of Britain have come in the last two years" Munchetty, "That accounts for people coming in, not people who have left" Farage, "Half of those are dependants" Munchetty, "Where did you get that from?" Farage, "52% who come are dependants" Munchetty, "So in the future they could work?" Farage, "This is making us poorer.. We're in a population explosion, we can't cope, it's making us poor and our living standards are declining" When you blame migrants for 14 years of Conservative party austerity and underfunding 🤷‍♂️

Becky Hill and jumpsuited dancers? What’s wrong with a Royal Marines marching band and a verse or two of Abide With Me? #linonesses

@MattRayns What’s wrong with a Royal Marines marching band and a sing song of Abide With Me?

10mins before a 'major' competition final and we have shit (Becky Hill) on the pitch for pre match entertainment. This bollocks has no place anywhere near this type of event. #WEURO2022 #Lionesses

@SalvatoreKitten Thank you

Love this shot from yesterday’s wedding of Hannah and Jack…

@JalenElrod Oh America.

This happened at a peaceful rally today in my hometown of #yeahTHATgreenville These people were bravely protesting the attack on a woman’s right to choose and demanding that our leaders #CodifyRoe We as a nation are going have to decide who we are. Sooner rather than later.

@jolyon1000000 @MaryLom33791820 I agree with you. And a lot of people had alcohol before the gig which won’t have helped them at all. But the fact is the venue screwed up bad last night.

@700jemima @sparxfly13 That is what they always do there. There is only ever any queue organisation right by the doors. It’s shocking.

@sparxfly13 Birmingham was insanely cramped, very very hot very quickly. They also didn’t give O2 priority any priority, they let a few O2 people and then after like 2 mins, GA and then just split the regular stalls queue in half so it didn’t rly honour any of the queues at all

anyone at Phoebe bridgers Birmingham last night ?? I hear there was loads of issues with queuing and o2 staff 😭😭 I’m going to Manchester o2 show and super stressed now argh can someone explain what happened pls? #phoebebridgers

@Iostmehead Apart from it wasn’t, it was in Glasgow…

like her first headline uk tour date in forever is in Birmingham

cant believe the phoebe bridgers is literally in birmingham

@jolyon1000000 @MaryLom33791820 That’s victim blaming. There was no ventilation in there last night - and it was overcrowded - far more so than any gig I have seen there before.

@sparxfly13 Enjoy it - Pheobe was amazing!

@ExRAFairman Yeah I’ve been getting that impression but just wanted to double check as I’ve been looking forward to it for so long! I also have priority tickets so was just abit concerned with the queue situation. Thanks :)

@Sammaz @O2AcademyBham You missed a flipping amazing concert!

phoebe bridgers live 🥳❤️🥺👻✨‼️😻 the o2 academy birmingham 👎🏼🤨😰😔🔥😬😵‍💫

@garethlpowell The road closures and tunnel closure didn't help. Getting out of the city centre was a nightmare last night.
