New single out this week. South Wales band - it’s an absolute tune btw. It’s a comment on Job loss @ Tata steel, mental health issues. Profits going to Food banks. Pre-order for 99p? #Freefall - “Changing”. freefallband.co.uk

This is Lord Rothermere the owner of the Daily Mail. He lives in a massive mansion in the English countryside, but he pays no tax here because he identifies as French. While the Daily Mail is registered in Bermuda and pays no tax anywhere. That is his ‘Patriotism’.

@RonFilipkowski Sure but did he have a FIFA peace medal? Did he shag a Bunny Girl, a Porn star and possibly his pick of underage girls; all the while being married to not 1, 2 but 3 women. Puts your ‘nam record into perspective! Enough said!

As a Marine platoon leader in Vietnam, Mueller was shot and later returned to lead his platoon after his recovery. He received a Bronze Star for valor, a Purple Heart, 2 Navy/Marine Commendation medals, Republic of Vietnam Cross of Valor, and numerous other medals.

@TreyAngstadt @allenanalysis Whoa there fella. The UK are reluctant & have said they may “consider” sending mine-hunting drones. No aircraft carriers or boots on the ground. They’re not being suckered into a new US/ Middle East war. Trump owns that.

You must have missed the joint statement from several European nations (Britain, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands), and Japan, committing to aiding the US in securing the Strait of Hormuz. This, of course, goes directly against your recent “reporting” on the matter. Remember? You said incessantly that no one was going to answer Trump’s call. I'm assuming you'll admit you were wrong, right?

🚨 The Jerusalem Post confirms: an American F-35 has been hit for the first time in history. Iran’s air defenses — which Trump said today were completely destroyed — just hit America’s most advanced stealth fighter. The F-35 costs $80 million per aircraft. It has never been hit in combat in its entire operational history. Until today. Trump said the defenses are destroyed. An F-35 got hit. Joe Kent confirmed there was no nuclear program worth stopping. Hegseth told his son they died to stop a nuclear Iran that didn’t exist. 14 Americans dead. $21 billion spent. Zero allied warships. Pearl Harbor invoked to Japan. And Iran just hit the plane we said they couldn’t touch. Never stop connecting the dots.

@HJB_News__ I can think of a good number of Tory Prime Ministers well ahead of The current incumbent.

The most hated British Prime Minister in British history, right here 👇

@itchybootstrav9 leaves China - the most beautiful shot you’ll see of a line of camels against a beautiful backdrop was the stunning goodbye to an intriguing country. Welcome Mongolia!😊

@shonkpa55133 Lame - 30 Seconds I won’t get back

Poor police officer, that most be tought . Huh 😳

@Phil__Smith A wins a win but Oxford do like to moan and complain - if there’s a prize for that… O9 was fab!

Some on the whistle analysis as #SAFC progress to the fifth round of the FA Cup. Wasn't overly impressed with the first half but thought second v professional and could have led to more goals. Job very much done sunderlandecho.com/sport/football…

@D_B_Harrison @BBCBreaking Some people are so fallible and easily led.

"I am sorry, sorry for what was done to you, sorry that so many people with power failed you, sorry for having believed Mandelson's lies and appointing him" PM Keir Starmer issues apology to victims of Jeffrey Epstein, adding "we will pursue the truth" bbc.in/4c9eBEW

Springsteen’s “Streets of Minneapolis” protest song is an exceptional tribute to those that have died or been injured, roughed up or deported in the tragedy that’s occurring right now. youtu.be/GDaPdpwA4Iw?si…

@CSSC_Official yeah, existing member, can log onto the web site but as soon as I try to sign up to Active wellbeing - username, pass-word issues. I’ve given up trying to get involved with this (tried 4 times😔). I’ll stick to my usual fitness regime.

@xray_media @Osint613 And least we ever forget….. The Epstein Files!

Trump questions NATO's reliability? The ultimate irony: allies proved it in blood when we invoked Article 5. Yet he dismisses 1,159 coffins as "this or that"—a chilling calculus. After 9/11, NATO allies fought and died in Afghanistan—the only Article 5 activation in history. Now, Gallup shows U.S. approval at 21% across NATO, down 14 points since 2025. This collapse isn't accidental: Trump's 5% GDP demand and Greenland tariff threats turn mutual defense into extortion. Eroding deterrence invites aggression. The admin isn't strengthening security—it's auctioning it.

Trump on NATO: "I've always said, will they be there if we ever needed them? That's really the ultimate test. I'm not sure of that. We've never needed them. They'll say they sent some troops to Afghanistan and this or that. And they did. They stayed a little back, off the front lines."

@Osint613 Lieutenant bone Spurs speaks like he was in the front line in ‘Nam. #UsDraftdodger much?

@manofbird @nt_sr_przd It’s called democracy. All pay their taxes and vote for the ppl they think will represent them the best. Compromises are made, you live with it. Mr Tate clearly does NOT speak on behalf of all Toronto taxpayers yet he infers it. Do better.

This guy’s name is Daniel Tate and he’s a national fucking hero. We need more Canadians like him.

@MarkBrooksArt @kaitlancollins Diplomacy by Tweet. It’s a tweet btw not a letter. #Cringe.

Dear Minister Carney, You are uninvited to my super awesome birthday party that definitely doesn't suck like everyone says. Me and that smelly kid from next door will have all the ice cream cake and you don't get any. It will be the opposite of sad. It will be 2 cool dudes and the clown my mom hired. Thank you for your attention to this matter! Donald J. Trump THE SPECIAL BIRTHDAY BOY!

President Trump says he’s withdrawing his invitation for Canada to join the Board of Peace.

@RonFilipkowski Slay, dudes got rizz. Oh no dude got clapped. Facts.

The big day is finally here! Today is the day that credit card interest rates for Americans will be capped at 10%, thanks to the leadership of Donald J. Trump. Promises made, promises kept!

@BilbaoBlackCats @BBCMOTD @BBC No. I grew up with the BBC, Access its TV programmes, Radio, Digital output, news content and broadly but not always, trust their News output which is important in today’s world.🙏

@Isky11 @BBCMOTD @BBC Do you work for the BBC? 😉

What a surprise! @BBCMOTD once again snubbing any analysis of Sunderland AFC. Defund the @BBC couldn't be any more true 😂 #safc #motd

@Trishtenchy @BBCSport It’s the crap pundits they have on not the BBC. MOTD needs a complete overhaul.

@BBCSport what a shambles why did you not show the pundits after the Sunderland match on MOTD , talk was all about Crystal Palace Manager leaving . Why am I paying my TV licence?? Sod off BBC

@harryhpalmer @WillHayCardiff You’d think on his Ministerial salary he could afford to live in a house rather than stables.

@WillHayCardiff hopefully Wales will wake up & realise that voting for #Reform in #Senedd elections = voting for failed Tories. In Zahawi's case, a man who threatened journalists who reported on his non-payment of tax, which he was penalised by HMRC + claimed £5k+ to heat his stables on expenses

I interviewed Nadhim Zahawi when he was Chancellor and questioned him about why HS2 was defined as a Wales project. He was embarrassingly bad. He said that: "We will of course make sure that Wales is getting, obviously, a major terminal." When I pointed out that none of HS2 was in Wales and the nearest terminal would be Crewe, he corrected himself saying: "Wales is obviously getting, just across the border, the major terminal for HS2."
