If I have one piece of advice for establishment figures in Westminster, it would be to just keep losing your shit completely at everything Hannah Spencer says. Maybe be really patronising too! You will look great, because normal people think Westminster is functioning really well

@Stsantek Alcohol clouds judgement, trying to normalise this behaviour to anyone outside of Westminster won’t land. Absolutely no need for MPs to drink at work.

Yeah no, sorry, MPs are often cooped up in Parliament for 15 hours a day, they will have a drink with journalists or colleagues and will still be discussing politics -their job, as Hannah says. I don’t like the blanket demonisation of MPs and Hannah should know better after she had already been accused of not taking the job seriously because she took part in that dancing event in Portcullis house. It was unfair to call her unserious about that then and it is unfair of her to now suggest that MPs having a drink in between votes which take up all night is by default bad.

@lukejcr Weird reply tbh

🚨Breaking news: MPs are human and sometimes have a drink. Classic clickbait farming 👎 MPs work long days for constituents, and yes, sometimes share a drink in the evening with colleagues. Last week I was scandalously spotted with… an alcohol-free pint or two between votes 😱 But sure, let’s talk about that instead of the Greens’ wacky policies. Trying to distract us, maybe? 🙄

🚨 Enzo Fernandez has scored 13 goals in all competitions for Chelsea this season, the only Premier League midfielder with more is Gibbs White (16) - @OptaJoe

We’ll return to Wembley in May for the FA Cup final! 🏆

6th FA Cup final in 10 years for Chelsea despite such a chaotic season. We have lost 4 of the previous 5 FAC finals though, as well as losing the last 6 domestic finals in a row. Safe to say we’ll be underdogs against City

FT: Chelsea 1-0 Leeds Chelsea have progressed from all seven FA Cup ties they have had against Leeds, reaching the final to face Manchester City on Saturday 16 May. It means the home match against Spurs will be rearranged. However, they already became the first team to lose three FA Cup finals in a row when losing to Liverpool in 2021 and have lost their last six domestic cup finals. A hoodoo to overcome.

Enzo!!!!!

The failures of Lawrence Stewart and Paul Winstanley. “Enzo Maresca told the club losing Levi Colwill before the season started that cover at centre half was essential. He was ignored. Chelsea have conceded as many goals as Nottingham Forest this season and six more than Crystal Palace. And while much is blamed on the callow nature of the recruits, it is worth noting that Tosin Adarabioyo — who is nobody’s idea of a title-winning central defender — was taken on a free transfer from Fulham at the age of 26. Another experienced recruit was the goalkeeper Robert Sánchez, brought in from Brighton & Hove Albion at 25, having already played 147 games. These were not good buys. Nor cheap, many of them, either. One of the reasons few entertain the idea that Chelsea’s squad just needs time, is the cost. Where, for instance, is the equivalent of the brilliant Rayan Cherki, brought in from Lyon by Manchester City for roughly £31.6million? Jamie Gittens, Alejandro Garnacho, Estêvão, Pedro Neto, João Félix, Mykhailo Mudryk, all cost substantially more.” (Times)

Listening to Chelsea game on @bbc5live where the summariser said Caicedo gets sent off often - that’s 1 in 147 PL btw #agenda

@TheBlueDodger Couldn’t make it up

Thomas Tuchel and Behdad Eghbali 👀 #CFC

@FabrizioRomano No wonder nobody likes him, Gabriel should be in a 3 game ban for violent conduct

🚨 Mikel Arteta on Nick Pope foul: “It’s a clear red card, I’ve watched it 10 times”. “It’s the second time in two games, because against Manchester City when Kai Havertz goes through and Khusanov fouls him, 1-1, the title is there, it’s red card!”.

WHAT HAVE WE JUST WITNESSED? 🤯 Sabastian Sawe has just become the first person in history to run a sub two-hour marathon in race conditions. Yomif Kejelcha was also under two hours for second!

Scandalous that the Fa Cup semifinal is not on terrestrial tv today

Sebastian Sawe 1:59:30 - one of the great feats of human performance #LondonMarathon

@implausibleblog Imagine calling for the thing to change that you were in charge of and didn’t do. The level of revisionism is absolutely staggering, good to see proper journalistic challenge

#C4News ask Conservative Chris Philp if he has any credibility criticising Labour's attempts to bring boat crossings down As when he was Immigration Minister and small boat crossings went from 2,000 to 28,000

@CFCPys Matt Law wading in on Chelsea, standard

🚘 Wesley Fofana has more points on his driving licence (50) than Chelsea do in the league (48). Add in the fact that the team’s on-the-pitch disciplinary problems followed them from Maresca to Rosenior and there is a clear pattern of underperformance and misbehaviour amongst the players.
