We’re living in dangerous times. I wish our government would take note and increase #defence spending sooner. Our #army / forces are sadly depleted. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

@DamienPearce4 @Jenny_1884 Not everyone has a smartphone.

@Jenny_1884 If you can't open an app or scan a QR code - what the fuk are you doing driving a car

Why can’t we go back to just putting coins in a car parking machine. I refuse to pay with a parking app. It’s so hard for elderly people now who are not tech savvy.

@Jenny_1884 I’d like to agree but it’s sometimes impossible to park without those awful apps.

So sad to hear oof the death our former Member of Parliament Sir Alan #Haselhurst . He was a real gentleman and an excellent constituency #MP . bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

The pictures of Henry #Nowak’s untimely death are extremely upsetting, but so are the images of rioters throwing projectiles at police officers in #Southampton. Their thuggery achieves nothing, yet risks clouding the memory of a wholly decent, innocent young man.

@CasualSaturdays I hated those naff twin towers.

Which away end would you bring back exactly how it was 20 years ago? Upton Park would be mine. Proper ground, proper edge, away fans boxed in and the whole place felt like it could turn at any second. No sanitised football. No neutral zones. No influencer day trippers. What ground are you picking?

Terrible botched #murder attempt. I almost feel sorry for the culprit, was so naive. Wonder if he’ll name the intended target? bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

@MagistratesBlog Horrible and very worrying.

Concerning scenes in Southampton this evening, with officers being pelted with missiles.

@GainsGinger I wouldn’t have thought the drivers have much support from the public.

London tube drivers who joined the strike today, you are the problem with today’s society. I would understand if you as a person could not change employment and therefore would need to strike for change. However, this is not the case for most of you. The demographic is mostly young to middle age and can Easily change career if they desire and reduce their working week. Honestly, it’s like we live in la la land. I don’t know why our government has not addressed this matter directly and stated this, surely this is common sense? This job will be among the first to go to AI and you drivers have no one to thank but yourselves. Jokers 🫵🏻🤣

@Oldtimers365 I called them my feet.

@jakelchambers @KemiBadenoch I also like Kemi. Not sure whether I’d vote Conservative or Reform at the moment.

I’ve been a fan of @KemiBadenoch for years, and in recent weeks it’s become increasingly clear. She’s the strongest Conservative leader since Margaret Thatcher. Conviction, clarity, and fighting spirit. We’d all be better off with her at the helm.

@JoButterfly888 Dreadful thing to happen. I wonder if the officers were following police procedure? I’m sure we’ll find out.

@JoButterfly888 A ‘posh party’. I’m jealous.

Met #police loses case over officer accessing Everard files. Have data protection #laws gone too far? bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

@StatManBenB Let’s hope we’re not in another mess and looking for another replacement too soon.

You aren’t wrong Barry. I’m not massively enamoured with what he did in a few games where tactics threw it away. However I think you’re correct about stability. It seems like that’s what the club needs most right now. If this was the choice of DK then I’m happy someone other than Sullivan is calling the shots.

Obviously I’m Nuno out after what we have seen this season. Throwing away points from winning positions and weak/incorrect tactics and line ups to name a few. The next appointment has to be the right one. Announce Steve Cooper, Scott Parker or someone like that and prepare for season tickets not being renewed. We asked for attacking and progressive and the tone deaf board gave us Lop. Firstly Sullivan must go. Secondly a DOF must Ben in place and have a say on who takes us forward.

@danbarker @sarahknapton Wow. I live and learn.

In one of the corners of Trafalgar Square, you'll find the 'imperial standards of length', cast in bronze. They were put there in 1876, 150 years ago this year, so members of the public could compare their own measuring devices to make sure they were accurate.

@sarahknapton Appalling and embarrassing.
