Today we're remembering David Rocastle on what would have been his 59th birthday ❤️

Regarded by many as one of the best written, best acted scenes in Sitcom history. PHILIP BAKER HALL delivers an all-time performance as ‘Lt. Bookman’ —The Library Cop, a role that changed this hugely talented Actor’s life & career forever.

Takes a lot to shock me, but this is jaw dropping, thinking of the victims who bravely told their stories earlier this week @kurtisreid_ reports Former UUP chair and Trimble adviser David Campbell doesn’t regret character reference for child sex predator belfasttelegraph.co.uk/news/courts/fo…

Can’t quite get my head round this man David Campbell’s attitude to sexual abuse of children.

BREAKING: Man who used to march down the street singing hitler youth songs and go up to his jewish classmates and make the hissing sound of gas chambers realises he can use yesterday's antisemitic attack to score some cheap political points and talk about that two-tier far-right conspiracy bullshit. Classy.

The Nigel Farage Guide to Being a Working-Class Hero Step 1: Be born to a City stockbroker. Step 2: Attend Dulwich College, fees currently £53,000 a year. Step 3: Skip university. Become a City commodities trader instead. Step 4: Run one of your metal broking firms into insolvency. Step 5: Get elected to the European Parliament. Spend the next 21 years drawing a salary from the institution you're paid to dismantle. Step 6: Claim £15,500 a year in expenses for an office your party was given rent-free. Step 7: Put your wife on the EU parliamentary payroll. Take her off only when the rules force you to. Step 8: Get investigated by the EU's anti-fraud office. Eventually have half your MEP salary docked to repay misused public funds. Step 9: Throw a Brexit victory party at the Ritz. Decry the "professional political class" to a room of millionaires. Step 10: Take £450,000 in personal gifts from Arron Banks. House. Car. Lifestyle. Step 11: Take £5 million, undisclosed, from a Bangkok-based crypto billionaire. Days later, announce you're standing for parliament after all. Step 12: Win Clacton. Take the £93,904 MP salary. Add £1.2 million a year from GB News at £2,300 an hour. Become the highest-earning MP in the House of Commons. Step 13: Speak in parliament fewer times than any other party leader. Fly to America at least nine times in your first year. Refuse to hold in-person constituency surgeries. Holiday in France while parliament is sitting. Step 14: Tell the working class you're one of them. Tell them to vote against their own interests, over and over again. Pint, mate?

EXCL: Nigel Farage was given an undisclosed £5m by crypto billionaire Christopher Harborne shortly before announcing he would stand in general election @Annaisaac reveals theguardian.com/politics/2026/…

This documentary is still available on Sky and tells the ongoing story of the fight to have the murder of Katie Simpson investigated as such. No police officer has faced disciplinary for either this case or another related to a woman named “Sarah”. sky.com/watch/death-of…

Wake up babe, the right are angry at brown sauce.

The DUP’s "forensic" hunt for one Bobby Sands statue is pure genius. They’ve basically handed a map and a magnifying glass to planning officers for every loyalist mural and memorial in the city. Huge win for the rule of law—good luck with the scaffolding, lads! #Belfast

The discipline of @piersmorgan to just sit there silently for the excruciating 90 seconds of page turning without interjecting at all…props

Excuse me. But banned why? Are we seriously saying Farage UK should have its own 24/7 news and propaganda channel with barely a peep from @Ofcom but if another party uses what Farage and Co have said in an election broadcast they can’t show it. Madness. Anyway do watch it. It is very powerful

This is magnificent

Elsie was one of the kindest,most generous and talented people with whom I’ve worked.Doing a night shoot with her in Spain on a windswept balcony shrieking with laughter between takes is a memory I will always treasure. RIP #ElsieKelly

Don't be scared to be disliked by fucking losers

Mick certainly did not fail us…he was failed by the previous manager He got the club believing again after 11 games of numbness at the start of the season Hopefully he gets his contract and we can rebuild next season and aim to bounce straight back up

Unfortunately, not only are they 100% aware, it is clearly passable to behave in this manner in @duponline given this isn’t a new thing. Matthew didn’t start his nonsense yesterday. He has a clear, methodical approach and a very disturbing, hateful obsession with women who hold different views. Is there no accountability in the DUP? I’d argue they are complicit in having no qualms and even more, no shame.

'Relegated Glenavon are going to lose their top players including the excellent Paul McGovern but they can't afford to lose the manager. The new owners need to make sure Michael O'Connor sticks around because he gave them hope when they had none'. 👇

@StevenBeacom5 Central to that is Mick and his coaches. I'd be doing all I could to sign Ferris & Falls again. Nathaniel slogged his guts out every game- a local lad felt every emotion yesterday . Carney essential along with Barney & Peter. We need to sell the vision now we've investment
