@JSWC1995 @DaleJohnsonBBC Man Utd crying about penalties is mad 🤣🤣🤣
English
@DaleJohnsonBBC Dale come off it they are both clear penalties, only difference is United would have gone 2-0 up had VAR done it's job.
English
On Amad and Evanilson penalty situations.
Both might or might not have been penalties.
They are subjective, in the grey zone.
So on-field decision stands.
VAR's role is not, and ever has been, to create consistency of decision making.
Each is judged individually.

Be that as it may, pupils in England outscored Finnish pupils in both maths and reading in the most recent PISA tests.
Lesley Riddoch@LesleyRiddoch
Finland has one of the world’s highest trust rankings between people & govt while UK has one of lowest. Did that help create their top education system? In a word - yes. Film screening with Q&A Thursday in Montrose & Sunday 5.15 Edin Cameo. Still tix. lesleyriddoch.com/events

MSPs,
Please read this before voting on the Assisted Dying Bill. If a thoughtful, impeccably liberal civic leader like Kelvin can change his mind, it’s not too late for you to do the same. Vulnerable people should be cared for, not made to feel a burden and offered kill pills.

@CharIieBennett If he goes to the World cup, he'll be at Real Madrid not long after

There is no better English left-back right now. 🏴
Thomas Tuchel would be more foolish than Chelsea for letting him go if Lewis Hall does not start at the World Cup. #NUFC

@callyb761 @CharIieBennett He's covering for Burn on one side and Trippier on the other
English
@CharIieBennett Thiaw is quickly turning in to Titus Bramble. Great defender at times but has has big clangers in him. When he makes mistakes it costs us.
English
I don’t fault Newcastle for chasing a second goal.
Barcelona were on the ropes and, when a window of opportunity to take a 2-0 lead to the Camp Nou presented itself, they went for it.
A brain fart in stoppage time cost them tonight. #NUFC

@LukeTryl And of course the irony is that neither extreme will be able to make the slightest difference to their economic insecurity
English
Well worth reading this by Chris Curtis. It’s abundantly clear to anyone that spends a cursory amount of time studying public opinion that economic insecurity - exacerbated 10 fold by the cost of living crisis is the driving political force of our time & fuelling Labour’s woes.
English
@neonsaxon @LukeTryl @BenInRushcliffe Right, exactly. None of the opposition parties have any solutions.
English
@LukeTryl @BenInRushcliffe Worth finding out whether they’d expect their preferred populist to have solved their problems after 18 months in office. And if not would they change their vote again?
English
@LukeTryl The beauty of opposition is you can pitch really popular policies and know you never have to deliver them.
Why not create a poll that explores trade offs between policies? Would you want lower gas if it meant longer NHS wait times? Would you pay more tax? Etc etc
English
So this debate about Labour needing to move right or left misses the point as Chris is absolutely right to say you can get most voters with a mainstream pitch on social issues (and polling shows SM migration reforms do that) but economic insecurity/affordability is what matters
English
@LukeTryl @helenlewis Yes of course. But who of the opposition parties has any solutions?
English
@ThomasBuckle93 @DaleJohnsonBBC @junglejimk No, it's subconscious bias. Something that exists in every single walk of life, yet you think it doesn't exist in football.

why has the 5cm tolerance not been mentioned since Fulham Liverpool @DaleJohnsonBBC
Premier League Match Centre@PLMatchCentre
#TOTCRY – 29’ VAR OVERTURN VAR checked the referee’s call of goal – and established that Sarr was in an offside position and recommended that the goal was disallowed.
English
@BioMickWatson @junglejimk Bradley's boots are half white and half blue.
Much of the white you see here is the taping around his ankle.

This is the Green Party.
Calling the man who brought in breakfast clubs and lifting of the 2 child cap 'Sir Kid Starver'.
The Greens are NOT the decent people you thought they were.
Also, the most severely disabled will NOT have their benefits cut. The Greens lie.
Manchester Green Party 🐝@McrGreenParty
Sir Kid Starver and Labour are CUTTING essential welfare payments almost in HALF for the disabled! Where is the outrage about this?
English
@hannahsbee Incredible if the Greens are going to start using evidence for their policies 🤣🤣 they'll have to change everything
English
EXCL: The Green Party plans to ditch its previous policy promoting “normal” births and seeking to reduce the rate of Caesarean sections. The party understands it is “way out of tune” with safe, evidence-based maternity care. newstatesman.com/politics/uk-po…

@junglejimk @DaleJohnsonBBC Exactly. The images from the Liverpool game showed the player obviously more than 5cm offside
English
@DaleJohnsonBBC But in the Fulham game his foot wasn't? Make it make sense. It is an absolute nonsense that is killing the game. Made worse by 'clear and obvious' now meaning 're ref the game'.
English
@mexicola25 @PinkieBrighton @DavidMcGregorBN Indeed the issue is that the green party is full of NIMBYs
English
@PinkieBrighton @DavidMcGregorBN Green party voted to back HS2, it's councillors and lords are still fighting against it.
The party has a pro-housing policy nationally - it's councillors joined up with Reform councillors to block housing projects.
Talking rubbish.
English
If you want proof that the Greens are ineffective, please come down to Brighton. I’ll walk you round and show you countless issues we’ve spent the last 3 years sorting out.
Beth Rigby@BethRigby
Picked up anxiety amongst Lab people over PM attempt to frame Greens as extreme when new MP, a plumber who adopts greyhounds & talks about social justice, seems “extremely nice”, says a Lab fig: “It’s hard to challenge Greens as ineffective at solving probs when Lab hasn’t yet”
English
English
@mexicola25 @DavidMcGregorBN Greens do have joined up thinking for local govt. the reason every council is struggling is because of austerity from Tories and now Labour - that needs to change.
Think Zack is doing a pretty good job at leading at the mo....
