Amazing how many Labour MPs do not understand this quite basic point.

Doesn’t matter how you voted if you were front and centre in a Brexit government, actively overseeing the shrinking of our economy, our influence and our opportunities, while you rolled around in the trough. We’ll be disregarding everything you now say, thanks.

Apols to Man Utd fans. I realise you feel as much for your team as we all do for ours. However, its objectively funny the way they have pissed away the biggest resources and brand in British football for about 15 years. Serially inept. Kind of fascinated by it tbh.

That was wonderful cricket. I know it suits my narrative but match hardened 50 over specialists brought up in a strong domestic game dont lose the last two matches. Brook's captaincy found wanting. Curran kept on far too long.

This ODI shows how compelling low scoring gsmes of cricket can be. Hardly a six this innings, and much more gripping for that. Mind that six was a good 'un.

Watching the ODI. Strikes me that English players rwrey play 50 over games. Mental...imagine another sport where the World Cup format is basically ignored domestically.

Rveryone involved in the Kyle Microsoft CoPilot advert should be thoroughly ashamed of themselves. Currently airing in every ad break of Pakistan v England.

Happy World Pasta Day to all who celebrate.

Voters do not share Westminster’s sense of scale Burnham’s micro-policy blitz is designed to address the little dysfunctions that fuel public disillusionment

Hang on. Bloody Farage was on the jungle programme for multiple episodes. Unlike Farage, Burnham comes across as authentic and not an act. His relatability has the RW press and media seriously rattled. Great stuff.

My personal view is that anyone found using "holibobs" should be immediately stripped of their UK nationality and made stateless.

Oh well, no harm done, eh?

This is Tommy. Tommy had a question about my allegiances. Listen to the end to hear about his.

Blimey. #strictly judges as consistent as PL refs.

All other parties and UK Government departments take note.

I don't know how many lines have to be crossed before the remaining democratic West realises this fucking maniac cannot be permitted the power he's accumulated. We have Musk. Or we have established international security norms. We can't have both.

If you are still on Musk's X, you are enabling his treachery.

This clown on #newsnight is amongst the most laughable of clowns the BBC platforms. That's saying something.

The ability to articulate with confidence is absolutely fundamental to personal progression in fields dominated by the privately educated. No wonder the right is opposed to this initiative.

This is quite extraordinary. I don't think I have heard a more coherent, articulate and accurate deconstruction & demolition of Nigel Farage's ReformUK, Tory & Restore policy than this. In under 85 seconds! @rafaelbehr.bsky.social is on here folks and worth a follow.

ITV now going in studs up on Reform, quite rightly. You vote for clowns, you get circuses.

It's legitimate for the EU, the UK, Canada and others to support their Ukrainian ally. If Musk is going to (in effect) assist Putin's invasion of Ukraine, Ukraine's allies should sanction Starlink, X and Tesla. At the very least, governments (and people) should stop using his fucking site already.

Great stuff from the Telegraph. archive.ph/r2nTA

I am not surprised by this. Grudging admiration tbh.

Kashim Chowdhury, 55, who is accused of holding overlapping public sector roles while working remotely, denies fraud

3 new players tonight accordimg to commentators. Buoyno. Jeegu and Lopeth. #wwfc

Okay. I.posted after match one that the formation is wrong for the players we have. Still convinced that's right. 3412. Would also be tempted to recall Neave from loan if i was Newcastle. How is he not getting game time given Armstrong's travails? #wwfc

Hmmm… who to believe… Andy Burnham or the compulsive liar who got sacked twice for lying, lied to Parliament, lied to The Queen, cheated on two wives and ignored the Ministerial Code. Tricky one.

I am reading Head North by Andy Burnham and Steve Rotheram. Its positive, constructive and cogent. I don't agree with all of it but clear the new PM has a vision and one that it positive. Contrast with the negativity of Farage today. Lqbour arent perfect but under Burnham they are worth supporting.

Good goals for an exhibition match. #livmci

What a weird world we live in - Ukraine hits a data centre deep in Russia - Irish twitter users see racist posts about IPAS centres in Offaly fall off a cliff

Given a) the formation and b) high proportion of flair players, i always was worried #wwfc would be flat track bullies in the Championship. Defeats at West Ham and now Boro makes me think i might be right.

Craig gets booed but he's almost always right in both comments & scores. #strictly

Why is there nobody there? #safaus #thecricket

This is completely outrageous and disgusting. This must immediately be blocked by Congress and Trump should be impeached for this. The US is now funding Putin’s war machine as he murders civilians including children. We are lost as a country.

Dear tv and radio producers. Thankyou for the invitation. But, no, I do not want to appear on your show to defend the idea that I am English, after 50 years of living and working here, because the increasingly feral right want to turn this into a "debate" and you cannot see how you're being played

@trentbridge.co.uk Ashes ballot winner here. Twice ive attempted to access site via link emailed. 1st time i was kicked out as soon as i got into site. 2nd time the site displayed fireworks, beer festival and picnic tickets but no Ashes tickets. Please advise.

If IHT is taxing twice, then so is VAT, so is pretty much every non-income tax... it's a ridiculous argument from the right and wish people would point this out more...

A small but noticeable drop in quality in the 4th series of Ted Lasso. Somehow the final ep managed to tie strands together a la Series 3. A really good ending. Enough now.

Couples with £1 million and a family home will be able to avoid contributing anything to the collective good of their children’s and grandchildren’s country says Kemi Badenoch. www.theguardian.com/politics/liv...

Kemi Badenoch has just KILLED downsizing in retirement Welcome to millions of frail, single pensioners, in homes far too big for them, refusing to move for fear of the tax hit giftarticle.ft.com/giftarticle/...

Idiocy from Badenoch on inheritance tax. We need people to be spending money, not hoarding it. There are too many people living in houses totally inappropriate for them in old age...sometimes asset rich cash poor and claiming pension credit. We should incentivise downsizing. Absolutely hopeless.
