@Simmsey19 @BannersOTW 15 out of 20 dressed players can be imports in the EIHL - with 18 on the roster. No surprise then that younger British players in the EIHL aren't getting anything like enough ice time to develop and get better. Pete Russell is having to look to the NIHL in desperation. Madness.

@NeilPithouse @BannersOTW Rubbish Neil. Players get better playing in tougher competition and Playing with better players every day. GB only got where it was because of that competition in the EIHL. If your argument was true the NIHL would be creating stars

A lot of tweets flying around about this poor result, not unreasonably. It is not the sole fault of any one part. Junior systems need to do more to develop the fundamentals. EIHL and NIHL clubs need to do more to develop the top end players of all skill sets.

Environment Agency inaction is a national scandal. On the Wye and many other rivers agricultural pollution is the most significant factor in worsening water quality. When will the EA enforce the law and protect our rivers? @SaveTheWye @RiverActionUK @GeorgeMonbiot

@10DowningStreet A gulf is a major body of water that cuts deep into a landmass. You can't make a deal with a gulf. Clearly nobody proof read this post.

Our new trade deal with the Gulf will deliver for British businesses and working people. This is our fifth major trade deal, driving growth, jobs and boosting the UK economy.

@Harlow_John79 @Mcr_Storm @AOArena @stubherouk The AO is virtually empty... therefore, of course, the Storm are wanted. How stupid do you think the Finnerty's are that they don't realise how business work?

@Mcr_Storm @AOArena @stubherouk The AO have played a blinder here making the St#rm believe they are wanted. They are stupid enough to not understand the you are just a number, to sell a pint of beer, sell a hotdog since the place is virtually empty since the COOP arrived and not updated the venue to compete.

@TopicalUpdates @MartinSLewis @itvMLshow @Ed_Miliband Course not, because green electricity is still priced based on fossil fuel generation. Big Oil calls the shots and @UKLabour does nothing to challenge them.

@MartinSLewis @itvMLshow But I thought @Ed_Miliband promised with all this money spent on Green energy our bills would come down..... never going to happen

JULY ENERGY PRICE CAP TO RISE. The assessment period ended yesterday, so final predictions are coming in today showing a rough 13% likely rise (it'll be announced next Wed). Tonight @itvMLshow 7:15pm I'll talk you through how to prevent this & protect yourself. Don't miss it.

@MartinSLewis Don't work now but when I did it was 'some of the time' but in the end not enough of it and the amount decreased as the years went by.

Today's Poll: Do you find your job/work fulfilling?

@is_glasgow Was in Sauchiehall Street & only film I hadn't seen was advertised on a poster at the ABC for a film at the ABC Muirend. Headed there & found an absolute gem. Sat in Screen 1 (the old circle) with a giant smile on my face. Still my all time best cinema experience 40 years on.

The unexpected, but rather wonderful, former Toledo Cinema on Clarkston Road in the Muirend area of Glasgow. Cont./ #glasgow #architecture #architecturephotography #oldcinema #muirend

@jimrobbins The Midlands Rail Hub project and Swindon to Birmingham is a bit too much 'could' and 'might' and HS2 is probably a decade away whereas extending this new service might be achievable earlier and at a lower cost.

@NeilPithouse Direct trains to Birmingham were announced earlier this year. Need to wait for the new station in birmingham to be built as HS2 so not starting too soon.

Massive news for Swindon and the new Thames Valley Strategic Authority Area! #PuttingSwindonBackOnTheMap

@darrenpjones @jimrobbins Sounds like nobody at the top knows how to run their departments so that they deliver for the British people. Clearly a Civil Service problem. Not sure this addresses that or will solve it. Very much reorganising the deckchairs on the Titanic.

Each department in government will now have its own delivery unit, led by a senior civil servant. And every Secretary of State and Minister of State will be given a new “delivery advisor” in their private office to support this work. These new delivery functions will be accountable to both their Secretary of State and to my team. This builds on my recent work setting up the new joint No10 and Cabinet Office Delivery Unit.

@Paulrattray45 @BladeoftheS Wouldn't Steve the Plumber be entitled to Universal Credit etc. if his business suffered a downturn or failed? Effectively a bailout although we'd probably call it a safety net.

@BladeoftheS There should be no bailouts If Steve the plumber goes bust because he decided to spend his money on stuff he didn't need or poorly managed his accounts nobody from the government is digging him out Public bailout should be a takeover

In 1987 Heathrow was Privatised by Margaret Thatcher. Today they are saying they need to be bailed out. The Government never should have sold something as essential or valuable as the largest airport in Europe. It's time to let them go bankrupt then renationalise for pennies.

@Thomas_Graham92 @4000AndCounting They can only work with what they've got and EIHL doesn't help the cause being essentially import netminders only. Hopefully Ben Clarke-Leach will get there sooner rather than later.

@4000AndCounting Robson will want a couple back (and he’s not been helped by some poor turnovers either to be fair to him) but it’s fair to say that powers in British hockey have taken Ben Bowns for granted for far too long without thinking about what comes next

Rebound control is non existent

@LondonBroncosRL Rather you than me 🤣 🤣 🤣

Training through it all 🌧️ #wearelondon #relentlesspursuit

🇬🇧 We are supporting @ukantidoping during #CleanSportWeek which is focusing on protecting young people’s health and tackling dangerous misinformation online about image and performance-enhancing drugs. We want every athlete to know that true success is built, not bought

@neilrobinson_88 @UKLabour @wesstreeting @Keir_Starmer There won't be a General Election. Turkeys don't vote for Christmas. Staggering thing is @wesstreeting still hasn't launched a leadership bid. On this basis you can understand why he's been engaged for 13 years.

Can't believe how poor @UKLabour are at politics. @wesstreeting knew what the local election results would be, should have prepared and resigned on Friday and launched his campaign. He's a week late and won't win. @Keir_Starmer will do a deal with the Burnhamites to survive.

So @RachelReevesMP what will the chaos from a @UKLabour leadership battle look like? NHS shutdown, riots, banks collapse, trains stop running, supermarkets run out of food, wages go unpaid. Answer: None of the above, we will carry on as normal. #post" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">bbc.co.uk/news/live/cwy2…

@Keir_Starmer Sorry...The conflict in Iran is an opportunity...and that is how we will build a stronger, fairer Britain where no child is left behind. What mindless drivel.

My government will end the status quo that has failed working people. We will build a stronger, fairer Britain.

@BannersOTW Feels like a smart move.

Do things that others aren't doing, use what you know. 34 caps for Japan and an Asia League champion this past season, a league that Flanagan knows well. Fascinating signing
