And now it appears Nandy might have been misleading Parliament with the new story from the Guardian on the ban. Will Nick Robinson and Today Cover that ? #r4today www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

Intelligence on ‘extreme’ Maccabi fans with history of violence led to Villa Park ban

Exclusive: West Midlands police were told supporters randomly attacked Muslims in Amsterdam last year

Looking at you Keir Starmer, Lisa Nandy:
"Choosing to stand with the far-right foreign football hooligan against the local police force: this, apparently, is what British patriotism looks like in 2025."
Scared to death of the 'antisemitism' accusers.

Standing with Maccabi’s football hooligans against local police – is that what patriotism looks like now? | Jonathan Liew

Tommy Robinson is said to be going to Villa Park as a Maccabi Tel Aviv fan. Do the politicians jumping on this bandwagon care what they are doing, asks Guardian columnist Jonathan Liew

Israel is breaking the Ceasefire and is still starving the people of Gaza

The only point behind the Ceasefire was to get the Israeli hostages

Now Israel will continue to escalate, while the Western Media/Politicians ignore it, until Hamas strike back

Then it's back to Genocide

Has Starmer written to the Tel Aviv police to tell them to stop being antisemitic, yet?

Israeli Police announce they have canceled a derby match between Hapoel Tel Aviv and Maccabi Tel Aviv that was set to take place tonight in the city’s Bloomfield Stadium, when fans began to riot.

Remember last week when we were told that football fans from Tel Aviv were well behaved in Amsterdam and that anyone suggesting otherwise is antisemitic… 👀🤔

No mention of this on #r4today yet despite wall to wall allegations of antisemitism levelled at the West Midlands Police and Labour council last week…. 🤔

The WHOLE planet is laughing at this idiotic, pathetic, weak, fragile, petulant sociopathic narcissist!

How a whole Democratic Republic system which has stood for almost 250 years can be allowed to be destroyed by one old, fat, child rapist, is beyond comprehension!

Flabbergasted, I am…..

She's certainly a Friend of Israel. Both the Starmers, obviously.
Friends of Israel allow the country to become a pariah state, thanks to its genocide & its racism. Liberal and left wing Israelis not so much.

'No Kings' protests draw huge crowds as anti-Trump rallies sweep across US
www.bbc.com/news/article...
Americans demonstrate against "moves toward fascism and an authoritarian government."
Trump's behaviour is "unconstitutional and a threat to American democracy."
The majority hate Donald J Trump.

No Kings protests draw huge crowds at anti-Trump rallies across US

The demonstrations against the US president - which Republicans had called "hate America rallies" - were boisterous but peaceful.

My father was antifa.
And so am I.
Britain and Europe are once again facing fascists and racists.
The USA is witnessing mass demonstrations against its anti-democratic rulers who are abusing power like no previous American government. They aren't draining the swamp. Trump & co are shaming America.

Trump’s threat to invoke the Insurrection Act isn’t new, but it’s getting louder and from all directions!

We had years of warnings.
He told us what he’d do. Project 2025 laid it out, but too many shrugged.

How much is “enough” for everyone to start getting loud with one voice before it’s too late?

"It was the combination of the Leslie speaker and the Hammond that gave 1960s jazz and rock its overdriven, scrambled organ tone."

Hey, what's that sound: Hammond organ

Once a fixture in American churches, the Hammond's soulful sound can be heard soaring through gospel, jazz, psychedelia and garage rock

Well done @lbc.co.uk @mrjamesob.bsky.social #lbc for taking the Trump speech in full. A rare opportunity to hear in full an absolute moron spouting nonsense about deals, money, war, his cronies, money, himself, war, money, power, weaponry, Obama, deals, the Middle East. A truly ghastly individual.

"Places where we could find out who we were . . . Places that made a positive difference to our lives.”
It was the first place I heard a live band - amplified guitars & vocals (and very loud drums) - played through big speakers. Magic.

Britain's youth clubs have been quietly decimated. What's most revealing is that few seem to care | John Harris

These vital spaces have been the first targets of cuts in a nation that favours age over youth – despite being the remedy for blights such as social division, polarisation and loneliness, says Guardia...

He's a useless political analyst and an even worse 'presenter'. Yet somehow gets himself a seat on every Newsnight. He must have friends in high places who are charmed or amused by his overacting and his look-at-me antics.
