Ever since I finished Question Time, Reform have massively been on the attack.

Including a rant from Richard Tice entirely designed to distract from Reform and Russia.

Everyone should know about Nathan Gill, the bribes from Russia and the link to Reform.

Having run out of these cheeses earlier, I still managed to assemble a really tasty sandwich. Therefore I fully deserve to win the No Bel Piece Prize. #ScottishJoke #NobelPeacePrize

Even funnier in lieu of Trump's whinge..

"They'll give it to some guy that didn't do a damn thing; they'll give it to the guy who wrote a book about the mind of Donald Trump… it will be a big insult to our country."

They award it to a woman.

“I’m worried about my community… I’m out here in a frog costume to show how ridiculous the notion that we’re violent terrorists is, and showcase how that narrative is wrong…”

Serious Q: is it too late to give this dude the Nobel Peace Prize? 🐸 🏆

“Gannon-Doak on the left is a gift unopened and a toy kept in its box. It is a crime thriller missing its final page and bubble wrap un-popped.” There is noone who does match reports like @danielgraywriter.bsky.social. Every line of this is genius.

What a class 2nd goal by Northern Ireland. They have been brilliant all night. Their match against Germany on Monday is now essential viewing, because if they play anything like this then, they could quite realistically beat them. A team full of youth, brimming with skill and confidence! #NIRSLO
