Calling on @ScotlandNT & @TheFratellis 👀🇸🇨
The Tartan Army anthem deserves a World Cup version:
A NEW combined cover of “Yes Sir, I Can Boogie”
Players + band. One anthem. For Scotland.
#YesSirScotland #TartanArmy

Actually the ref pushed him out 2m 🫣
Credit where credit is due. We must now congratulate and thank @elonmusk for considerably raising the popularity, credibility and poll ratings of @Keir_Starmer

Ian Hislop, "Farmers didn't pay inheritance tax at all, and now they're going to pay half of what everybody else pays.. And the limits they set on them are really pretty high"
"So it's meant to stop wealthy landowners buying lots of land in order to avoid taxes"
"People who come to mind.. Jeremy Clarkson who originally bought his farm in order to avoid paying any tax on it"
"Who has now become the champion of the small farmer who is probably not going to get hit by this, and is going to end up worse off for lots of other reasons"
Victroia Derbyshire, "Why are you here?"
Jeremy Clarkson, "I'm here to support farmers"
VD, "So it's not about you and the fact that you bought a farm to avoid inheritance tax?"
JC, "Classic BBC.. It's not the fact that I bought a farm to avoid inheritance tax"
VD, "You told the Sunday Times in 2021 that's why you bought it"
JC shakes his head
Ian Hislop, "It's not as though he doesn't have any history with the Beeb, she's quite lucky he didn't punch her in the face with cold food"

Nigel Farage briefed journalists in the HOC lobby after his humiliation at PMQs saying he didn't intend to,
"Hang around and be insulted by Starmer" One asked him if that meant he was going to Clacton.
Farage told him to F-off.
This is a dying beast. Head over to @bluesky which isn’t run by a sociopathic billionaire toddler.

You support an actual rapist, don't use the sexual abuse of children & the church's long & shameful history of covering up abuse to pretend you care about values .
You really are halitosis made flesh.
Finally, a PM that is not an international joke or embarrassment.
I am honoured to be in Paris to stand united with President @EmmanuelMacron in tribute to the fallen who made the ultimate sacrifice for the freedom we enjoy today.
ALT Prime Minister Keir Starmer and President Macron stand with military personnel at a wreath-laying ceremony in Paris.
You should be ashamed of yourself Sam. I really thought you were better than this.
I am no fan of Starmer but this, from, you, is desperate and rather pathetic mud slinging.
With mud you have made yourself.
This is not news.
It’s pure tosh.
(Has turned off replies. 🐔)
