If you believe this you will believe in Fairies…
🇺🇸 Democrats are showing surprising STRENGTH in 8 key Senate races, and several traditionally Republican states are suddenly looking competitive.
• North Carolina: Cooper +11
• Maine: Jackson +5
• Michigan: El-Sayed +4
• Texas: Talarico +4
• Ohio: Brown +2
• Iowa: Turek +1
• Kansas: Hamilton +1
• Nebraska: Ricketts and independent Osborn TIED
Democratic candidates lead in 7 of the 8 races surveyed, although several margins are extremely narrow.
With the midterms just days away, control of the Senate remains a central battleground.

Your leader backed it Bob.
What the fuck are you on about?
The war has been a disaster for America and the UK.
Yesterday Trump suffered the electoral consequences of his mistake.
The lesson? Always put the safety and prosperity of your people first👇

The quoted March post claims Nigel Farage "immediately ruled out" UK involvement in the Iran war, but he urged backing US strikes and base access the day they began.

Liverpool have committed more fouls this season than any other team in the Premier League. Arsenal are joint 17th.
Liverpool rank joint fourth in the league for yellow cards. Arsenal are joint 17th and Liverpool have one red card to Arsenal's none.
Arsenal's highest entry in the most fouls committed by a player in the league is Myles Lewis Skelly at 34th, joint with Szoboszlai. There are four Liverpool players who have committed more than MLS.
This is fan fic nonsense.
Sunday merely served to reinforce the belief that Liverpool as a team are far too nice.
There’s a difference between being streetwise and cheating. It wasn’t pretty, but Arsenal produced a masterclass in the former in the second half on Sunday.
Andoni Iraola was clear post-match that there will be a change of approach. He will tell his players to start going to ground when they are impeded in the box.
It’s a sad state of affairs, but needs must.

This seems like a great time to reshare my favourite Sir Patrick Stewart performance, ‘What has the ECHR ever done for us?’ It’s just perfect in every possible way … including the ending 😂😂😂 RIP.

Tomorrow, when you see the front pages of the right-wing press telling you how dreadful the budget was, remember their track record.
Also remember that right-wingers won’t ever be happy with any budget that doesn’t push down on those at the bottom to benefit those at the top.

But he didn't.

its actually quite refreshing to have a PM whose embarrassing history involves raising money for charity, rather than burning £50 notes in front of homeless people and shagging pigs...

The PM said on TV show 'Gogglebox' for Stand Up To Cancer he has a "clang of anxiety" when discussing dancing - after taking part in a charity event for the Rob Burrow centre for MND
