Things which have suddenly increased the risk of heart disorders: Shovelling snow Skipping breakfast Post-pandemic stress disorder Smoking Energy price rises Playing football Watching football Things which most certainly haven’t. Definitely not! No Siree 😡 The jabs. HTH.

@MrsRanchoFiesta @ingelramdecoucy Remember remember the 5th of November With gunpowder, treason and plot I see no reason Why gunpowder treason Should ever be forgot.

@ingelramdecoucy We should celebrate Guido Fawkes day

V for Vendetta

@ingelramdecoucy Bravo! Didn’t know that you guys even celebrated Guy Fawkes night.

@ColumnaMg12 @ReemAmirIbrahim Not as near as they were to the Indians you exterminated between the 1830s and 1860s. Now you want to be rewarded for that genocide by laying claim to the islands they were closer to?

@wheatfrom @ReemAmirIbrahim "Nowhere near" *both appear on the same map just 1000 km away*

Can’t “retake” something you never owned 🇬🇧

@janemilnerbarry @jbhearn I heard that interview. Which Nick Robinson said was “surprising”. Presumably because he knew that they were *all* (100%) started by humans - accidentally or otherwise.

@jbhearn Fire chief interviewed by BBC said most wildfires in UK result from some human behaviour e.g. arson or lighting a barbecue. He said number & scale of wildfires is increasing and will increase further because of global heating changing the conditions in which the humans act.

The BBC has just given a long description of wild fires in the U.K. and then went on to explain the cause of heatwaves. There was no attempt to explain the cause of wildfires. Can someone help the BBC to link wild fires to their cause?

@jbhearn @janemilnerbarry Purposely or not, they are all started by humans. The temperature is nowhere near high enough to cause spontaneous combustion, and foxes and badgers don’t smoke.

@janemilnerbarry Are any humans creating wildfires purposely?

So … if Argentina wins, they get the Falklands? If England wins, we get Argentina? And if England and France meet in the Final, winner takes the USA? Or Normandy?

@TonyDowson5 Tort? Nor JR? Is that going to be when the Tavistock clinic victims reach the age of maturity?

@MrTCHarris Some of the extras in that scene (including the woman who shouted vive la France) were genuine French refugees.

Brings a tear to my eye every time. Vive La France!

@Peter88902568 No! England v France in the 13 colonies? The rematch history always wanted.

Cheering for Spain this evening. Not loudly btw.

@WingsScotland Gotta be Aberdeen really.

Not sure whether to watch Spain-France tonight or Brora Rangers v Aberdeen in the League Cup.

@Bricktop_NAFO England (obviously). Large parts of South America. That’s enough. England does better when everyone is supporting the other side.

Who is supporting England tomorrow in their match against Argentina?

@javierota @Skeleman71 You were nowhere near them until you’d expanded south (slaughtering the Indians to the south of you) during the mid 19th century.

@Skeleman71 Of course they are important, they were part of our territory when we declared independence. Buenos Aires administered the islands -appointing governors and commanders- for over 60 years, first as part of the Viceroyalty and later as an independent nation, until the 1833 invasion

It’s really surprising how strongly Argentinians feel about the Falklands given how little history they have with the islands. Like why make this such a cornerstone of your national identity.

@mjh0421 @HeartlandsTrib You’re suggesting that no Labour women have been capable of preferring “the right policies” in the history of the party?

@HeartlandsTrib Does that in some way also say something about the prospective candidates. It really isn’t about gender is it, it’s about the quality of the candidates? I’m sure if the right women proffered the right policies they would no doubt get selected. So far that has not happened.

The party that lectures the country about diversity still cannot bring itself to trust a woman with the top job. In more than 120 years, Labour has never elected a woman as leader. Every other major political party in Britain has managed it. Labour, supposedly the great engine of equality, remains the glaring exception. And now the same party has shown how little confidence it has not only in its women MPs, but in the entire Parliamentary @UKLabour. Rather than hold a proper leadership contest, as they first stated, test competing ideas and allow the public to hear what comes next, Labour engineered a by-election to clear Andy Burnham’s path to Downing Street. No real scrutiny. No contest. No public address setting out what he will do differently. No promises on the record that voters can return to when the slogans fade and the compromises begin. We are told this is renewal. It's succession arranged behind closed doors. It seems Labour can talk endlessly about representation, yet when power itself is at stake, the men still inherit the crown. Diversity for the photograph. The old boys’ club for the leadership. #AndyBurnham

@OldRoberts953 They will, of course, ignore it. They’ll pretend it never happened, that anyone who says it happened is a “far right Zionist purveyor of disinformation”, and pretend that they are “attacking Islam” which, as everyone knows, is a religion of wokery.

Wait til Stonewall, the Good Law Project and Amnesty hear about this! telegraph.co.uk/news/2026/07/1…

In the charming Ealing comedy Passport to Pimlico, a small part of Pimlico is discovered to be part of Burgundy, allowing it to avoid post-war rationing. The modern version sees a village in Oxfordshire seceded in order to avoid the govt imposing hundreds of migrant on them.

@minevian @WingsScotland @dexcaedus Ah! But they did become world champions in 1967! They tell me.

@WingsScotland @dexcaedus I mean you can dress it up all you like, sunshine but Scotland, a country that literally borders the inventors of the game, NEVER..and i mean NEVER having reached a major knockout game IN ITS ENTIRE HISTORY is easily the most embarrassing statistic in international football! 😂🤡

In the 60 years since their World Cup victory in 1966, England have still only won ONE knockout game, in either the World Cup or the Euros, against a higher-ranked team: Spain, on penalties in 1996. They've won an average of 0.78 knockout games per tournament they qualified for.

@WingsScotland @dexcaedus And compared to Norway? Denmark? Sweden?

@dexcaedus You're right. Armed only with 10 times our population and almost 60 times as much money in your football association, you've managed to win an average of three-quarters of a knockout game more than us per tournament. Well done you!

@AlanShanks4 You had an independence referendum 10 years ago. Democracy won. The Argentinians never gave the Indians they exterminated an independence referendum. The Bostonians (who you were courting a couple of weeks ago) never gave the confederacy an independence referendum. 🤔

To those English people who can't understand Scots supporting Argentina, Argentina are not currently denying Scotland democracy.

@The_Peach03 98% is just banter. The remaining 2% is care in the community.

Are Scots aware that we are quite fond of them?
