I wish the right wing media who have worked so hard to get rid of Starmer would now turn their attention to helping Liverpool fans remove Arne Slot as manager Now there is a task worth pursuing!!!

Will the king give a thought for those killed or permanently maimed during the Falkland War when he is being schmoozed by Trump next week. He should not go!

@davidyelland Odd that she is suddenly flavour of the month with the right wing media, including the BBC, given her facilitating Number Ten partying during covid!!

Helen Macnamara has been the wisest counsel in private for years, she is now becoming one of the wisest voices in public too.

Interesting how Helen MacNamara who connived in partying in Number 10 during Covid and who left under a cloud is being relentlessly used as a commentator on the Mandelson affair by the right wing media including the BBC.

@HughEdw31897368 @ChrisMasonBBC With friends like The Guardian who needs the right wing media and @ChrisMasonBBC and co?

Tory boy Chris Mason making a big deal out of three hours of silence from the govt/Number 10. Why should they immediately respond to a story by Guardian hacks? Their priority is governing not reacting to the press you stupid boy. @ChrisMasonBBC #bbcnews

@JeremyVineOn5 Yes, Trump is an idiot and no sensible person would follow his lead.

Has Sir Keir Starmer won you over with his handling of the Iran war? The PM is in the Middle East pushing for peace. Labour insiders think "Statesman Starmer" is winning people over, but the Tories say he's been "indecisive" and lost Trump's respect. What do you think?

@BBCNewsnight @bbcpaddy Al Carns so impressive, I wish more ministers would take their interviewers to task when they either interrupt or descended to trivia rather than constantly be on the back foot.

"I'm not going to discuss the details of someone's phone when I've got two wars on... This is gutter politics, not interested" @bbcpaddy questions Defence Minister Al Carns over the theft of a phone belonging to Keir Starmer's former chief of staff Morgan McSweeney. #Newsnight

@andycomfort @UndervaluedFM Anna Foster...superb, the rest of the Today mob range from dreadful to ordinary!

The BBC at its finest. Anna Foster. Orla Guerin. Faisal Islam. I would trust what these dedicated journalists say over Dave on Facebook any day, don’t you reckon? They follow in the footsteps of the likes of Kate Adie, Michael Buerk and John Simpson.

@campbellclaret @The_ChrisShaw @BBCr4today @patmcfaddenmp The honourable exception among the regulars is Anna Foster, informed, pleasant and not full of her own importance. Barnett awful, Rajan not far behind!

The competition between some (not all) of the @BBCr4today presenters to see who can be rudest and smart-arsest with government ministers (though rarely Farage and Co) might be one of the reasons they are losing so many listeners. @patmcfaddenmp did well there not to say “if it’s so f-ing easy why don’t you give it a go one day Amol?” Also wonder whether the “morning ministerial round” has had its day. Pat better than most at covering all issues but often such a waste of time to have Minister for X answering Qs on issues ABCD and E (usually what’s big in the right wing rags) followed by one Q on the thing they actually know about.

@IamtheadamLFC @LFC After over seventy years of unconditional support I feel the same. The upside of any defeat is that we are moving nearer to the day when change is inevitable. So sad!

For first time in my life supporting @LFC I am at a point that I don't care if we win or lose. As Slot has taken my passion for football away & sucked the joy out of the game. Klopp did phenomenal things & we went from Doubters To Believers, yet Slot's destroyed that. 💔 #WOLLIV

@piersmorgan This is not Roosevelt, JFK etc that we are dealing with. Is that brutal?

‘This is not Winston Churchill that we’re dealing with.” Donald Trump on Keir Starmer. Brutal.

Trump says this is not Churchill we are dealing with, I say this is not JFK, Reagan, Clinton, Bush senior etc that we are dealing with!

Why do Labour MP's keep talking to @ChrisMasonBBC, can't they see what he's up to?

@henrywinter There's more to being a top footballer than simply being good at football and Andy Robertson is the prime example. Selling him will well and truly confirm that as a club Liverpool has lost its way.

Andy Robertson is just what Tottenham Hotspur need. A leader, a fighter, a competitor feisty enough in the fray to ruffle Barcelona’s feathers and Lionel Messi’s hair. A winner who contributed in defence and attack to Liverpool amassing nine trophies, who was vice-captain of the champions, and remains captain of Scotland. Spurs will be getting a true team player. The move, if it goes through, makes sense for Spurs and for Robertson, who wants to play more regularly, but it is surprising that Liverpool are prepared to lose one of their main dressing-room leaders. Milos Kerkez is definitely settling in but he might have a dip and Liverpool have a busy schedule. Robertson is Mr Reliable: 363 games, 68 assists and 12 goals since his £8m move from Hull City in 2017. He's definitely better than Kostas Tsimikas who could be recalled from loan at Roma. Maybe Liverpool simply want to generate a few quid before Robertson's contract expires this summer. And he's 31. Spurs clearly also need to address issues in central midfield but Robertson brings so much to the team, not simply as a left-back. He will set standards on and off the pitch, in matches and in training. That’s what Andy Robertson is all about: delivering. Will he start? Destiny Udogie is first choice but is injury prone (missed 14 games this season, 13 last, 15 the year before). Djed Spence is good but is really a right-back. The new signing, the Brazilian Souza, is only 19. Ben Davies, 32, has just undergone an operation on his ankle. It’s being depicted that Robertson is being signed as cover which slightly under-estimates his determined character, let alone his talent. Anyone with any familiarity with Robertson’s character know he will push hard to start, not least to maintain sharpness in World Cup year. The essence of Robertson is about proving a point. His career has been built on perseverance. Released by Celtic as too small. Went part-time with Queen’s Park, worked in the ticket office at Hampden, even showing the injured Vincent Kompany to his seat before a Scotland-Belgium game, handed him a programme. Robertson worked at M&S, considered uni, fought hard, earned a move to Dundee United and then Hull City, got relegated twice, fought back, signed for Liverpool. A ferocious work ethic underpins Robertson. He's grounded and certainly kept on his toes by a close circle of friends. His WhatsApp pings with messages from friends digging him out if he’s made a mistake. His mantra, his aim, is to “live a normal life in an abnormal situation”. He manages it well. If the transfer first called by @David_Ornstein goes through, Spurs will be getting an athlete with a conscience, who was appointed MBE for services to charity and young people as well as to football. During Covid, Robertson donated to food banks in Scotland just as he’s helped local ones in Liverpool. As reports of loneliness grew during lockdown, and the mental health charity Back Onside in Glasgow was overwhelmed with calls, Robertson discreetly sent them funds to keep going, keep the suicide-prevention phone-lines open, keep the flame of hope alive. Amongst many other initiatives, the AR26 charity run by Robertson and his wife Rachel funds free coaching for kids whose parents can’t afford it. Spurs aren’t recruiting Robertson just because he’s got a moral compass but he’ll be a role model for younger players, academy players. He'll bring experience, he'll drive standards. And he'll start more than people imagine. #THFC #LFC

@AnfieldRd96 Phil Taylor!

Who was manager when you started supporting Liverpool? 👔

I want to see Man U go for Arne Slot!!!

The final nail in the coffin of the Commonwealth Games! TNT!

@OllieHolt22 Remind me which England batsmen walk!

Alex Carey and the Spirit of Cricket, Part 2. After Snicko farce, are the Aussies gaming their way to an Ashes triumph? dailymail.co.uk/sport/cricket/…

Britain sends millions of pounds worth of aid annually to India and they respond by rolling out the red carpet for Putin. Something is wrong!

@Mofoman360 No..YNWA!

Do you think Gary Neville should be sacked by Sky Sports Yes or No?
