Irrespective of any leadership bid it is now crystal clear the UK tabloids pursed Angela Rayner irresponsibility and vindictively, forced her from office, danced on her political grave. Surely any fair onlooker will contrast this with their blind backing of Nigel Farage and inability to investigate his £5m gift from a Thai-based backer who appears to have at least two names.

Rumblings of leadership contests for @UKLabour as if that did @Conservatives any good in their slow tedious downfall. Grow up and get your house in order.

Also generally fed up of the corner shenanigans that premier league teams are up to this season. Every team is as bad as each other. Referees need to get on top of it.

Oh come on…this is a foul. I don’t support either team and know you cannot put your arm on the goal keepers neck. Why is it taking so long. It’s so painfully farcical. @premierleague @SkySportsPL

Problem is that they have no one with the right skill set to communicate what effective change for the long term is. You will convince absolutely no one after people have spent year after year feeling worse off. Labour will keep losing if they don’t address this.

VAR once again proving itself to be a miserable stain on the sport. Absolute rubbish. @ChampionsLeague #LIVPSG

Absurd and inhuman violence is spreading ferociously through the sacred places of the Christian East, profaned by the blasphemy of war and the brutality of business, with no regard for people’s lives, which are considered at most collateral damage of self-interest. But no gain can be worth the life of the weakest, children, or families. No cause can justify the shedding of innocent blood.

Let me read you the MAGA checklist. 👇🏼 We were going to release the Epstein files. Until Trump showed up in the Epstein files. So we bombed people to distract from them. We bombed a school in Iran with young kids in it. We built Alligator Alcatraz — a sewage-backed penitentiary for immigrants in Florida — and laughed about it on camera. We kidnapped children and didn't know where we were sending them. We manipulated the markets. Repeatedly. We accepted a $400 million jet as a bribe and kept it after leaving office. We excoriated allies who stood with us for over a century. Threatened to attack a NATO country. Treated Canada like an enemy. We came after the First, Fourth, Fifth, and Fourteenth Amendment rights of American citizens. Every price in America went up because of the tariffs. Then came the tax bill - if you make a million dollars or more — $7,000 benefit. If you make $50,000 or less — we're taking $500 away from you. But here's what's finally moving the needle: Gas prices. It turns out the red line for MAGA is $8 a gallon going into the 250th birthday of America. Nobody wants to grill hot dogs and explain to their kids why it costs $120 to fill the tank. The approval ratings are going into the gutter. And he doesn't care. That's the part that should terrify everyone.

Let me walk you through what happened one hour before Trump announced the five day moratorium on Iran strikes. $1.5 billion in notional S&P E-mini futures contracts. Four to six times normal activity. One hour before the announcement. Simultaneously, $192 million in crude oil futures purchased at the same time. They made between $300 and $400 million dollars off those trades. Trump claimed he spoke to an Iranian official to negotiate the moratorium. The Iranians said that person doesn't exist and the conversation never happened. This is not the first time. It has happened multiple times. He says something. The trade goes on. He says another thing. The market moves. But whatever you call it — they are laughing at you and they are laughing at me while they do it. Hunter Biden sold a painting and Washington lost its mind. These people are making hundreds upon hundreds of millions of dollars trading on information that only exists inside the most powerful office in the world. I think we are dramatically underreporting how much money is actually being made here. This isn't politics anymore. This is a financial operation running out of the White House.

While the world’s media obsesses over every spit and fart from the White House over Iran, and Trump’s endless commentary on talks and deals and negotiations, the 🇷🇺 🇺🇦 war he said he would solve in 24 hours continues unabated … and in addition to benefiting from the oil price rise and lifting of sanctions Putin has also unleashed the largest 24 hour aerial attack on Ukraine since the war began. Almost 1000 drones. A UNESCO world heritage site hit. A maternity hospital hit. Residential buildings hit. Several killed. Dozens injured. Barely registers on the news. This war must not be forgotten

It is so difficult to understand why Trump launched his Iran operation - an op so clearly damaging to US national interests, the global economy, Ukraine and the US’ closest allies in Europe and the Gulf. Then there is this….

VAR is utterly miserable. It’s such a stain on modern day football. @premierleague @FA_PGMOL

@JamesPearceLFC The lack of shots on target is utterly baffling. I do not understand why our attacking players are spending so much time passively moving the ball around with zero impact. It’s beyond tedious now.

Liverpool have had 80% possession so far second half, zero shots on target

@JamesPearceLFC What’s the point in spending all that time in Bournemouth’s final third if you can’t get a shot on target until the end of the first half. The lack of genuine intensity or tenacity week after week is really frustrating.

HT: Bournemouth 2 #LFC 1: Van Dijk's header just before the break halving the deficit after a torrid first half for Slot's side. Started brightly, didn't make it count and then gave away two dreadful goals as Evanilson and Jimenez punished them. Also lost Gomez to injury.

That should be a red for Martinelli. No excuse for that behaviour. @LFC @FA_PGMOL

Such a frustrating watch. Why are @LFC pushing their full backs so high only to never have balls coming in from the byline or have players in the box attacking it. There’s no creativity or intent in our attack. Nothing to show for all the possession. Corners are also terrible.

This is why @FA_PGMOL rightly get so much criticism. Defender’s hands are all over Ekitike we all know if he goes down, it’s a penalty. It’s like the refs want to encourage gamesmanship. #BBCsport #LFC

If you are interested in being a good musician never take the easy way. Some tutorial online giving you the easy way, no. Practice hard til your body and brain are exhausted and fulfilled. Do it everyday alot. Learn from the bottom up. Do it everyday day until you die

@SkySportsPL I like Thomas Frank but last night, he had his blinkers on. Tottenham’s discipline was so so poor. Richarlison and Romero were especially petulant.

"What are you DOING?! There's no need for it!" Daniel Sturridge was not a fan of Richarlison straddling Hugo Ekitike after scoring...

Rob Reiner had one of the most wide-ranging audiences of any American filmmaker. People rewatch his movies with nostalgia and joy. They quote them with parents and pass them down to children. Ignore the other one's commentary. It's like a black hole commenting on the sun.
