I can see why Reform would oppose measures to prevent money laundering. Maybe banks should check money going *into* bank accounts - particularly when it's Russian money going into Reform politicians' bank accounts...

Nathan Gill will be sentenced on 21st November for 8 charges of taking Russian Bribes.

It’s essential that the European Parliament carries out an investigation in to UKIP, Brexit Party and Reform UK and their connection to Russia.

Investigation now!

USA seeks to export its climate idiocy in order to undermine an international deal to reduce shipping emissions

Using all the bullying tactics it can muster, USA is threatening other countries with sanctions if they support the deal

US Threats Cast Doubt On Shipping Emissions Deal
An ambitious plan by the UN's shipping agency to cut maritime emissions could be scuttled at the last minute after the United States threatened to impose sanctions on those supporting it.

@bluemoonpodcast.com Best save - Joe Corrigan against Leeds in the FA Cup 1976-77. I was in the Leeds end and the ball was definitely going in the net when, from nowhere, Big Joe dived across and pawed it out. It won the BBC Match of the Day save of the season - check it out.
@lmtpod.city Big shout out for the defence. Another clean sheet. Only Arsenal has a better GD. Both O’Reilly & Nunez look at home. Thank goodness we have Bernardo - mind you I’m old school. Never played Football Manager and believe Pep knows more than me….
Farage backing Trump’s line on paracetamol yesterday smacks of Boris. He will lie and cheat to get elected, but with a touch of the Kristallnacht about him
Or even game’s gone. It just sounds reverential and treating highly paid professionals as trusty old retainers. Very 1920s. Language has moved on - even for football.
@footballcliches.bsky.social Just listened to September 11th show and the utter bollocks when describing a series of highly paid footballers as “servants”. Volunteer stewards, club officials (lower leagues), ball boys- Yes! Millionaire footballers NO!! Fuck off Adam. You knew this was coming btw.
@lmtpod.city Haaland, Foden, even Doku but Khusa - he’s maturing fast. Surely he’s the right back?
It was a really crap piece but it does show that work needs to be done to counter the Reform and Tory loons.
Times reports "soaring" number of Britons think climate change is exaggerated

Well, not really - they're still in a heavy minority

Not good news but tbh given relentless tide of shite about climate action served up by RW media I'm pleased it isn't worse

Reminder: At the start of his legal career, RFK Jr. failed the bar, was forced out as a D.A., and got arrested for heroin. Without the Kennedy name, that story ends there.
Manchester United ignored Pep Guardiola's warning about Jadon Sancho
Arrogant little shit who wasted a massive opportunity. He will live to regret it

Cool story bro but we saw your first (honest) response which was to threaten to sue anyone who reported on you STEALING A HAT FROM A CHILD and gloating about it. I hope you never get out from under this.

I'm sure Nigel Farage will bring this up when he testifies before the US Congress in September about freedom of speech restrictions in the UK.

Nigel Farage’s Reform UK would allow a fossil fuel company owned by a Donald Trump donor to open up a huge fracking site in Greater Lincolnshire

It "shows exactly whose interests they serve – and it’s certainly not ordinary people" says @tessakhan.bsky.social

Credit to Man Utd - they’ve really pushed this Grimsby side tonight.
What number have the Rags got in the Carabao Cup draw. Oh sorry they haven’t got one but Grimsby has - the most embarrassing result in “League” Cup history - since 1960. So funny. #Amorimin
Amorim in! Don’t get rid of him - he’s a star. I bet Ole is waiting by the phone with his bottle of DNA. The Rags are an absolute joke
They have fucking done it. The Rags dumped by Grimsby Town.
