Just bizarre to have two Welshmen and a German on this game? If not an Iranian at least get a pro with experience of football in the Middle East? Klinsmann has played and managed in Europe & the US. If Iran ‘worked’ ref it’s because Queiroz coached them to. No need for racism! https://t.co/JI7VI5vIFc

Agree, though I usually like Klinsmann.

Dog goes the weasel.

Meanwhile ‘left wingers’ who criticised Corbyn of ‘Stalinism’ (because they didn’t get jobs or seats) like @paulmasonnews - stay silent during a process which borders on outright corruption.

If you want a friend in politics, get a dog, but my goodness what a weasel.

how many dogs are there that are currently active in UK politics? I'm afraid he's talking out of his pawsterrier again

Viva hate.

I had zero idea of why Saka started ahead of Rashford before kick off and I have even less now. It’s like watching a team on sedatives.

As someone who has also done it here and there, I feel that this isn't quite the strong qualification she seems to think it is.

People are putting too much on the RMT.

The media elite is desperate for this country to continue to get poorer. We’ve had a disastrous 15 years as a country & they seemingly want to repeat that.

Working people have had enough of getting poorer. The truth is that if the RMT wins, we all might. pic.twitter.com/ZnorOTt78C

Mick Lynch of the RMT just served me the finest cup of coffee imaginable during my 10:05 @novaramedia shift,

The left: please learn to be racist.

Lot of liberal/leftish accounts are way off national sentiment re migration on here.

The sad truth is a popular front was possible in 2017-19 that, yes, could have led to a far more progressive policy on asylum. Many people decided to reject that because they wanted everything >

Peter Hitchens on Trade Unions, Tony Blair and the End of the Monarchy.

there was a Bastani vs Hitch debate on the death penalty? Oh gosh how do I end up missing all best stuff.

I see.

.@markedasred. My late brother was (rightly) challenging the claim (made by some of his then pooitical allies) that waterboarding was not torture. I have in fact *witnessed* two executions. https://t.co/RUzivXSYQP

— Peter Hitchens (@ClarkeMicah) February 10, 2023

Isn't it great that you can have a honest and frank debate with a sick freak who watches executions and then say afterwards that you learned a thing or two and it's not as black and white as you previously thought.

AirPods are brilliant for remote working and taking calls. One of the best products Apple has released in recent years.

It's true.

Training teachers to act as judges in a court. I’m sure that’ll help productivity!

This stuff would be laughed at in private sector. It’s like saying ‘let’s have the HR people do the accounts and have the security guards run marketing’. Can’t make it up.

— Aaron Bastani (@AaronBastani) February 17, 2023

Surely the more Bastani thing here would be to say that all of the jobs will be done by AI and that we must nationalise the robots and the wealth they will bring!

Going on GB news, bcz well what else can they do now Corbyn is in the dust and you have no principles?

I can't wait until they start preaching: that even with all the pain and mental health damage and outright despair the last few years of your association with UK Labour Party has wrought on you - that we really feel it too, honest (inbetween cheques from GB tv and TimesRadio), you've still got to stick with the Labour Party and vote for Kieth as I previously stated in my piece for Unherd.

This looks v good.

The system doesn't work. Its funding is collapsing, and sectoral wages scrape along the bottom quintile of the economy. Exploitation of migrant workers has seen cases investigated by the Gangmasters' Authority. https://t.co/H1PXmCnV0I pic.twitter.com/AF20oBd99K

Whoop am trending because Putin's apologists are fed up with me, Keir and Labour ✊🏼🇺🇦🎻🚩

— Paul Mason (@paulmasonnews) February 23, 2023

this is where he is now is it

✊🏼🇺🇦🎻🚩🦑🔜📎

his dynamic chart that showed how everyone who has ever took the piss out of him or fallen out with the Labour Party neatly fits into a network of Putin/CCP stooges was as a clear an illustration of someone losing their fucking mind as you can get

it's hard to tell if he's deluded or a factionally-motivated liar, i guess he can be both

I think even the people who he declares as his allies see him as an unserious clown

at the very least Mason and his ilk have thrown around "Putin apologist" so cavalierly as to render it meaningless

I don't see many actual Putin apologists in the wild. Some people have some thoughtful and considered opinions on Ukraine that aren't the usual kneejerk liberal hawk takes that are the only the ones Mason finds acceptable. But it's a grey area for me - I just stfu about it!

that's Putin apologist talk

"Putin apologist" is the new "apologist for terrorism".

world could do with a bit more unapologetic terrorism amirite?

more Real IRA, less led by donkeys!

a lot of people from a broad section of the centre + the right have been calling Hitchens a Putin apologist for years, even before the Ukrainian invasion.

Quit coffee 4 years ago and its honestly one of the best decisions I've ever made. Better sleep, mental clarity and emotional regulation. I used to drink 15 espressi a day (!) but as I got older I just...couldn't.

If you have anxiety or insomnia really give it a go.

— Aaron Bastani (@AaronBastani) February 24, 2023

Better mental clarity is when you appear on right-wing media.

if i was on 15 espressos a day it simply would not occur to me that this might be related to my anxiety and insomnia

this Big Boy Bas post was sponsored by Horlicks

ugh Horlicks

That was the ad slogan in the 70s

wrongly bcz it's delicious

It was only widely available in seaside caffs in the era when I didn't like hot drinks

It's my goto option when I've already had 6 coffees and need hot drink. You can make it very strong and add a bit of honey and it's as good as a meal.

it's rich in *checks label* anti-caking agent

That's the best kind of agent

I love that malty aroma. like when you are walking past a huge factory brewery

A heaping teaspoon of Horlicks into a chocolate milkshake is the closest thing there is to a drugstore malted milkshake.

'Mental clarity and emotional regulation'

It is quite an odd thing to claim, implying that he was worse in these regards 4+ years ago.

Still, he is sincere in his tip. I'm afraid I won't take it as I like coffee.
