The footballing entertainment at Reading FC this season has been sparse, but you can’t knock their hospitality: they’ve hosted promotion parties for Lincoln City and Cardiff City at consecutive home games #readingfc

He has Kompromat on his mind. Putins pee-pee tapes are destroying what’s left of his brain
Is he dead then?
Pretty outrageous that civil servants decided to overrule the security vetting for Mandelson and didn’t inform the elected ministers

Got myself a haircut
A square graphic on a white background. At the top, there are two distinct, rough, painted-style brushstroke patches side-by-side: one in the blue and yellow of the European Union flag and one in the red, white, and blue of the United Kingdom's Union Jack. Below the flags, bold, dark blue text reads: "THE UK IS COMING BACK TO ERASMUS+." In the bottom right corner, there is a small, rectangular official European Union flag.
The United Kingdom is coming back to Erasmus+.
The European Union and the United Kingdom have enabled the UK's association to Erasmus+ in 2027.

The BBC is in a race to the bottom because people will pay subscriptions for wall to wall crud on Netflix, Amazon Prime etc but get cross about the BBC licence fee which is astonishing value for money given the breadth and quality of content

Starmer and co driving away the people who voted for them on the promise of a progressive government. The future is Green
Absolutely this. Critical thinking seems to be absolutely absent in a large percentage of our population. Short term panic about petrol prices should not be driving our nation’s strategy on energy
Only white people in the picture for Trump
Trumps great plan to extort money with Iran from ships passing through the Straits of Hormuz has failed and he’s looking for his next grift
Proper “last days of Rome” stuff
Who needs a backup plan?
Also, does he not realise that restricting supply of oil flowing through the Straits of Hormuz raises prices globally?
Not before time. Putting the execs on the hook for corporate law breaking is the best way to guarantee a behaviour change
We had a saying in the RAF: “Never jump out of a serviceable aircraft”
Let’s be honest, it doesn’t take a genius to play Trump.
TACO
Given that few people in Iran have internet access they might has well have put the warning in a bottle and thrown it into the sea
As usual the fake outrage gets in front of the gullible fools before the truth appears
I don’t think “good people” are falling for it, it’s the same exceptionalism, garbage media and poor education that got us into this mess in the first place are to blame. Anyone who “falls for it” gets no sympathy from me
Radio 4 Today have a representative from the Green Party, so of course they ask a question based on some nonsense in the Daily Mail #r4today
Pensioner here: There’s no way I’d ever vote for Reform or the Tories
It’s a cult
A sad tale of the consequences of a gullible electorate and lying politicians. My uncle stopped export sales in his business a couple of years ago and has scaled back his business to UK only. I’m sure there are many others
I suspect the sight of Labour backbenchers running around with their hair on fire after the May local elections will cause some consternation about the direction of travel
The lengths that people will go to so they don’t have to meet Donald Trump…

Announcement of the Royal visit to the USA
“On advice of His Majesty’s Government” tells you all you need to know. He can’t create a constitutional crisis between himself and an elected government. All of this makes me more convinced we don’t need a Royal family any longer
I don’t think he has a say, but can always “pull a sickie” later. I’m reminded of the Queen having to agree to the illegal proroguing of Parliament when Johnson lied to her
I’m no supporter of the Royals, but I don’t think Charles has much involvement in the decision. Starmer needs to carry the can for this
