@das_underground @MarThun_ @CFC_Janty We invented the game, along with the modern world. You are from Chile, a country that has given the world nothing.

@MarThun_ @CFC_Janty Los ingleses no saben de fútbol. Todos son unos troncos, y con su selección nunca han ganado nada. No tienen ninguna autoridad para hablar de fútbol. Y por último, ningún jugador inglés en la historia es mejor que Neymar.

There isn’t a single English player in football history that is better than Neymar.

@DavidMcGregorBN This has to be parody: “One party smashes the country to bits. Labour comes in and has to rebuild it.”

People say “the 2 party system doesn’t work” as if both parties have been equally useless. One party smashes the country to bits. Labour comes in and has to rebuild it. It was true after Thatcher. And it’s true again after 14 years of Tory decline.

@WilliamClouston @_HenryBolton “Appeasement is feeding the crocodile, hoping he will eat you last” - Winston Churchill.

For progressives, a collision with brutal reality in the world they created…

@OborneTweets Kemi doesn’t want to make the same mistake Heath did. The consequences of sacking Powell led to today’s problems.

Edward Heath sacked Powell. Kemi Badenoch defended Timothy on the basis he was defending British values. In this column for Middle East Eye I argue that last week was the defining moment for Badenoch's Tory Party as a cesspit of hatred and bigotry: middleeasteye.net/opinion/nick-t…

@MythoYookay “Our” national symbols.

@IfindWankers Lady with hobby degree ignores largest country on the planet.

Apprently this massive wanker has a "history" degree. I think you should ask for your money back! You've been ripped off love!

@MatthewStadlen @danny__kruger Being asleep to or wilfully dismissing a grave danger does not make one virtuous.

@danny__kruger The intellectualisation of bigotry doesn’t make the bigotry any less bigoted.

Nick Timothy and Nigel Farage are right, and Sadiq Khan and Keir Starmer are wrong. Small groups of people, of whatever religion, praying in public places is fine. And as a Christian country we should allow a special privilege for churches to lead services in our national spaces, like the Palm Sunday celebration that happens in Trafalgar Square. What we don't want is mass ritual observances intended to claim the civic realm for another religion, or assert the domination of another culture over our own Christian traditions. What happens in our national spaces is not neutral. People use Trafalgar Square, for celebrations and demonstrations, to make a point about the kind of country they want us to be. The Palm Sunday pageant reminds us of who we are - not as individuals (many or most of us don't identify as Christians at all) but as a national community, with the roots of our institutions in the ground of the Bible and our most solemn communal moments, from coronations to funerals, mediated through the liturgies of the Church. A mass Adhan held there, or in any town square, is making a different point: that Britain is not a Christian country, and that - inshallah - one day it shall be Muslim. This is unacceptable to the British public and indeed incompatible with our constitution. As ever with these debates, the issue is partly one of kind and partly one of degree. There is an issue with Islam itself as a religion which in most interpretations does not admit of pluralism or freedom of conscience, and therefore is inherently aggrandising, including over territory. But with a bit of confidence and a bit of toleration we could handle that - if it were not for the issue of degree. It is the scale of Islam in Britain, and the ambition of its leaders for greater scale, that makes the problem. The numbers of people who assembled for the adhan in Trafalgar Square, clearly and openly claiming the territory for a faith with no connection (indeed, with strong doctrinal disagreement) with the model of Western liberal democracy that Britain has developed and exported to the world - that is the problem. The numbers, whether everyone there understood it this way or not (and I suspect many did), convey an explicit threat to the foundations of our country. Being relaxed about other people's religion is a good thing, a very British thing. I don't mind modern druids dancing around Stonehenge in my constituency (arguably, though the historicity is tenuous, they have a claim to the place). I don't mind small groups of Hindus or Buddhists or Muslims demonstrating the reality of Britain's religious toleration by worshiping in Trafalgar Square. But let's not kid ourselves about this adhan, or pretend that we're just seeing another harmless expression of Britain's religious diversity. We are seeing an abuse of liberalism, led by people who are not themselves liberal; or - let us imagine they are acting in good faith - who are themselves deceived about what they are doing. It should not happen again. And it would be good to hear the Church of England say so.

@Alexarmstrong It’s harder for them to vote if they are in jail, though I imagine the Greens will remove voting because it discriminates against non-citizens.

Why would the Green Party want potential terror suspects released from custody early?

@LauraRbnsn Better idea, an Oscar for worst Oscar decision, or just scrap the Oscars.

I have an idea for the Oscars. What if at the end of every decade there's a Movie of the Decade that's totally retrospective, and it can't have won Best Picture at the time? The movie with staying power? So for the 1990s it probably would have been something like Goodfellas,

@MrHreviews Try Gloucestershire

Wiltshire, just beautiful

@SKinnock Just 20 months to come up with a strategy.

We've got there! A new UK Govt *Steel Strategy* - to support our industry. 🎯 New targets to use British & Welsh-made steel. 💪New protections to stop other countries undercutting our steel industry. 💸£5.8bn to National Wealth Fund to invest in steel & related sectors. ⬇️⬇️⬇️

@OborneTweets 😂

Kemi Badenoch's decision to throw her weight behind Nick Timothy is a defining moment. The Tory party under her leadership is a cesspit of Islamophobic hatred and racist bigotry. My new column for Middle East Eye: middleeasteye.net/opinion/nick-t…

@stephenRB4 It’s good but the following are better: 1917 All Quiet on the Western Front Blackhawk Down Tropic Thunder Star Wars

Saving Private Ryan is the greatest war movie ever made, and I will die on this hill.

@blaiklockBP Almost certainly outsourced to one or more consultancies to design, build, test and roll out.

Booking . com booked over 1 billion nights in 2024 but manages to have a simple 8-digit number for each booking. What idiot of a lazy civil servant designed the booking numbers for the NHS? How is someone old or on the phone or with an accent ever supposed to tell anyone else this mess of a number?

@cabinetofficeuk Why should public service be a requirement to scrutinise laws? This favours civil servants and more failed politicians.

This is the biggest reform to our Parliament in a generation. 🇬🇧 This morning, the 700-year-old system of hereditary membership in the House of Lords was abolished. Membership is now earned through public service and merit, not granted by an inheritance. ✅

@MediaSOI Cucks need someone to tell them what to do.

Why are the left so obsessed with the European Union?

@BasilTheGreat They don’t believe in countries.

We're Screwed "DO YOU BELIEVE SOMEONE WHO ARRIVES ON A BOAT ILLEGALLY SHOULD GET FULL ACCESS TO THE COUNTRY?" "YES" Are they brainwashed or just dumb? It's worrying so many young people believe this

@JackWDart Unbelievable, so much disinformation in a video claiming disinformation from the opposite political aisle.

The media has convinced you that Keir Starmer is the worst Prime Minister in history. They're lying to you.

@RichardBurgon @KarlTurnerMP Who is paying?

I’m on my way to Cuba for an emergency 3-day visit. I’ll be delivering medical aid to a children’s cancer hospital and joining an international delegation of MPs opposed to Trump’s new ban on any fuel entering the country. This cruel policy is putting lives at risk. It is an inhumane attempt to strangle the Cuban people. And Trump is even threatening that Cuba could be “next” after Iran. We must take a stand.

@MatthewStadlen Ever heard of the Crusades Matthew?

Anti-Muslim prejudice has no place in British society. Nick Timothy, Kemi Badenoch and Nigel Farage should be deeply ashamed of themselves.
