Feel like Kai and Merino were big misses here - Eze not physical enough and Gyok just couldn’t get much to stick, particularly the last 20 mins or so when we were really under pressure.

He’s ridiculously slick but also just very likeable, serious operator

In the constituency, embittered labour campaigners have started their slow march into an "inevitable defeat." The wording comes from HQ themselves who are briefing journalists they don't expect to win m

Labour is briefing that they know they won't win the Gorton and Denton by election.

The Greens are favourites and are the only party that can stop Reform.

Lower bills, tax the rich, protect the NHS. We will win.

Is that cause Wolves is getting moved or something?

NEW: Previously unreported Epstein emails show Peter Mandelson discussing a Panama-linked tax avoidance structure for a £750k Rio apartment - with Epstein as his "chief life adviser".

Exclusive Tax Policy Associates report:

Trouble is, the current lot seem absolutely useless at getting the job done! The govt desperately need a change a direction but starmer & his advisors don’t seem willing/able to make one

So he’s giving up his metro mayor job?

Who's secretly filming fake TikToks inside Londoners' homes? We tracked down the viral video account invading people's houses to spread false claims about immigrants.

This is one of the strangest and most screwed-up stories I’ve worked on. www.londoncentric.media/p/tiktok-lon...

That’s totally fair. And in retrospect I may not be well informed enough about the dems to weigh in on this - it seems obvious from here that anything would be better than Trump, but these things aren’t usually that black and white. It certainly wasn’t my intention to antagonise anyone!

I think I will stop replying to anything on this thread now! Not sure it’s doing anyone much good ✌️

Not chasing anyone down - just made a fairly innocuous reply to a social media post. Seems to have massively wound up a load of Americans for some reason.

It kind of is

No, not really! Are the Norwegians European..? How about the Swiss? Icelanders? Anyone in the balkans or caucuses, how about them?

Sheesh - no, we didn’t! We left the EU. Not the same, at all!

Completely unhinged, borderline racist response to a fairly innocuous reply. Maybe get putting the phone down for a bit and going outside for a walk?

You have a great day!

I’m guessing you’re saying this because I’m from the UK and we’re no longer part of the EU? But that’s true of lots European countries inc. Norway, Switzerland, Iceland, Albania, Ukraine, all the Balkan countries etc etc.

So, I am European.

lol, the tiniest suspicion that someone might be saying something mean about their country and Americans’ heads explode

Extraordinarily ill informed comment! Every single line is factually incorrect. But listen, whatever makes you feel better!

Brexit was a lot of things, most of them bad, but it wasn’t by any stretch of the imagination fascist. That word’s getting bandied about a bit too much at the moment

So what, you just let the absolutely gigantic steaming pile of evil take control instead? No-one gets exactly want they want in a democracy, it’s all compromise.

Quite difficult for Europeans to feel much sympathy or solidarity for Americans that had a mandate but didn’t use it to stop trump.

Matt Walsh tweeted last year: "We've spent the last 25 years bringing "freedom" and "democracy" to countries around the globe while our own country has been systematically invaded and now our largest cities are run by foreigners and communists. If you want to know why I'm so avowedly non-interventionist, this is why." Then he tweeted today: ""This is a war for oil!!!!!" First of all, the "war" lasted like 90 minutes. Second, going to war to secure vital resources for your own people is totally legitimate. Why should we allow some third world communist shithole to control trillions of dollars worth of oil?"

Laura Loomer tweeted last year: "I’m America First, I don’t support “Regime Change”. I went on @Bannons_WarRoom to talk about Chinese aggression in Venezuela and why we need to designate the Muslim Brotherhood as a foreign Islamic terrorist organization." Then she tweeted yesterday: "Maduro has arrived at the DEA office in Manhattan. He was transported in an armored motorcade after being transported in a blindfold via helicopter & then by plane to New York after his compound in Caracas was raided by US Special Forces. Proud to be an American today! USA 🇺🇸"

Catturd tweeted last year: "Name one U.S. inspired regime change that hasn’t ended in absolute disaster." Then he tweeted yesterday: "Venezuela is now more free than New York City."

Will Chamberlain tweeted last year: "The Republican Party is no longer the party of regime change and endless wars If you want to be its standard-bearer that is a non-negotiable position" Then he tweeted yesterday: "I can think of few better uses of my tax dollars than black-bagging the head of a foreign narco-trafficking organization that enriches itself by addicting and poisoning my fellow Americans"

amazing how the entire machine can pivot within 24 hours. no need to slowly upsell the argument; just issue new marching orders

Speaking as an ex-Defra policy wonk, this is spot on. NFU are basically *the* key stakeholder for any policy area even vaguely related to farming, and most of the time they get what they want.

Am I right in thinking city are approx +19 GD over the season so far than their xG/xGa would suggest? That seems… high?

I don't really post anymore, but I would like to carry on writing books at some point in the future.

Hate to be annoying, but any chance you could retweet so old twitter followers can find me if they want to? Going to delete my twitter, or at least abandon it on lock and let it die a slow death.

this story isn’t going away

GB News now broadcasting calls to remove the ethnic minority MPs from parliament

Dale Partridge on Twitter writes: "Feminist media is BIG mad about me saying that women shouldn’t wear underwear (leggings and sports bras) as outerwear. As Pearl says, “It’s amazing how hard women will fight to be naked.” Immodest ladies, read 1 Tim. 2:9, repent, and follow Christ." Attached are two images. Image 1 headline: “Outraged pastor slams worker at quaint coffee shop for wearing ‘sinful’ leggings and sports bra in front of kids” Image 2 headline: “‘Make sin shameful again’: Pastor sparks row after sports bra complaint”

A friend who teaches theology shared with me a post about CS Lewis's Mere Christianity, which discusses foundational Christian logic across denominations. It reminded me of Dale's tweet below, and I wanted to share some thoughts here regarding modesty and respectability, which are often hot topics.

You might be surprised - average price for a 3-bed terraced house where I live (Hackney) is about £1.2m but Labour got 60% vote share in the last election. Greens got another 24%.
