DENMARK HAVE FAILED TO BEAT BELARUS AT HOME!
IF SCOTLAND BEAT DENMARK AT HAMPDEN ON TUESDAY, IT WILL BE THE FIRST TIME SCOTLAND HAVE SECURED QUALIFICATION TO A MAJOR TOURNAMENT IN FRONT OF FANS SINCE 1989!
It's only happened at Hampden three times in history!

I've got one strand of hope here. The rugby team waking up in the second half last week. They still lost, of course. #GRESCO #TheFootball

25 minutes into Radio 4's flagship evening news programme and unless I'm much mistaken not a breath about the developing Trump Epstein story yet. Hmm.

The Tankard, near the Imperial War Museum. Was a brewdog until recently reopening with new owners. The pub is massive and the roof terrace is great in the summer. I also noted that they do free gravy and Yorkshire pudding refills if you have a Sunday roast there.

See what’s happening. A Trumpist US media company has taken over Channel 5. Another US company is gunning for ITV. Our social media is saturated by Musk’s calls for civil war in the UK. The BBC is the last thing standing, and Trump/Johnson are trying to bring it down

Hang on I thought we've got the Australian-style system we always wanted, isn't that working any more? Now we need a Danish-style one? So hard to keep up with British exceptionalism. Maybe stop running the country at the whim of a few thousand racists in the north?

Your periodic reminder that mRNA vaccines are a scientific and public health game-changer. Those that have been approved have passed stringent efficacy and safety checks. They protect you and your child against potentially fatal diseases. You may, however, get a sore arm.

For anyone still tempted to take Dominic Cummings at all seriously, he's now an advocate of Donald Trump-style open racism.

Feels like Reform Party sentiment has been running this country for nearly 10 years now, without even being elected. I studied modern languages here. Heartbreaking news. What are we doing to our country. That fucking referendum has so much to answer for. Shame.

Add the Green Party to Putin's list of useful idiots.
The Green Party condemns Russia’s invasion, backs Ukraine’s sovereignty, and urges peace talks. It opposes NATO expansion and supports replacing NATO with a cooperative, non-militarised European security framework 💚
