@OlsenCycling @InsideOut2912 And as for the car coming through the group on the cobbles.....

@InsideOut2912 Absolute disgrace. The amount of times Pogacar has been saved by this "respect" gimmick in stage races, and now in a freaking cobbled classics too. HE'S NOT the fucking race leader in a GT or something. He's just another rider with a puncture. WHY this special treatment 😭

Why are Visma, RB, Alpecin or Ineos chilling when one of the two big favs is behind? 🙂 #ParisRoubaix

@Tratnikstan For sure, without him slowing the group down they would have made the catch.

Without Laporte, i think the mvdp group very likely catches back to Pog/Wout Also he slowed the group A LOT when Wout had the mech. The true winner today

@narindertweets The mask slips. Again. Dogs are mostly more hygienic than many humans, especially the imported ones.

I'm sorry, but how is it ok to put your dog on train seat meant for passengers? This is so unhygienic...ewwww someone will be expected to sit where dog bum has been?

@KayBurley @bbclaurak @vicderbyshire Good grief. It's pathetic.

No fan of Starmer but he continues to hold his nerve and carry out the supreme duty as PM - to keep his citizens safe from harm. @bbclaurak @vicderbyshire

Yes! That was an incredible race! #ParisRoubaix

@BenjiNaesen Horrendous

Team cars, like the UAE one right now, should not be allowed to pass a group on the cobble sectors. That's so dangerous. #ParisRoubaix

UAE cheating again....

@Edwina_Currie Are you new here? 🫣🤣

Eh? There are no mountains in Lincolnshire … 👇👇👇😮😮😮🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

@Arron_banks It's the Brexit party, it existed and had an established base.

To create a party from a standing start to fielding 5000 plus candidates is a massive achievement….

@EdwardJDavey Thin ice mate, thin ice...

Morally completely indefensible. Farage should sack Richard Tice immediately.

@RupertLowe10 Yes, it's hurting so the private schools around here. But raising nothing, state schools are also net losers, as are local government. It's a mean, pointless tax that does nothing good.

A Restore Britain Government would immediately reverse Labour's cruel VAT raid on private schools. It is leading to school closures, job losses and more pupils being forced into state schools that simply cannot cope with the additional demand - everyone then suffers, obviously. With so many students now being lumped into state schools that are already struggling, what's the result for children in those institutions? Less teacher time and stretched resources. Worse outcomes. We're told the funds raised are being used to 'support public services'. Total bollocks and we all know it. The staggering lack of any logic from this Government is so painful. Labour's private school VAT raid is really nasty politics. Restore Britain would reverse it.

That can stop a supply boat going to people who are native to an island in the middle of nowhere, but stop thousands of third world wasters coming here for endless freebies? Nope, can't do that.

@RBH_ProCycling @ehitzulia @GettySport My dog is a better tactician than you lot.

🇪🇸 #Itzulia2026 Florian Lipowitz finishes @ehitzulia in 2nd place overall after a brutal final stage in heavy rain – a strong performance throughout the week by the German. Congratulations to Paul Seixas on the overall win. ___________ 📷 @GettySport

@JackWDart Nope. If all the things to raise money for and you choose this!

Tomorrow I’m running the London Landmarks Half Marathon for Refugee Action. At a time when refugees are so often dehumanised, lied about, and turned into political targets, Refugee Action does vital work supporting people who deserve safety, dignity, and a fair chance to rebuild their lives. So, tomorrow, I run. If you’d like to support me and support Refugee Action’s work, I’d be hugely grateful. ❤️ Link below!

@policylaila So why have reform welcomed ex Tory MPs?

Loyalty to failing politicians is how nothing ever improves. Vote Reform

@thinkdefence It's pointless when the mod rivals the NHS for financial incompetence.

Despite the current situation, I still think 2.5% GDP ish on defence is about right for the UK, but only if we are spending more on resilience, industrial capacity, research and development, and other things that make the foundations of the UK rock solid

@BenjiNaesen @AnnamacB Absolutely scum behaviour.

On 2 April 2026, I received the attached letter from a senior member of the UCI, without any prior communication. This morning, I have filed a formal complaint against the sender, with the UCI Ethics Commission, regarding this letter being sent to me.

@oufeh Banned riders should not be allowed into the sport at any level or role. UAE would be screwed!

68 years old KA was one of the biggest cheats as a rider (7 times tested positive), key part of Riis team in the late 00s, personal trainer of the Schlecks bros when they were at their best. The kind of people pro cycling can’t get rid of.

@afneil If there's no mindset to actually have a military force then nothing will get done. If we really wanted to increase our navy/armed forces in a hurry we could buy warships etc from allies and adapt. But there's no willingness..

So tedious to read this stuff. I have been unsparing for years in my criticism of the Tory record on defence. Including in today’s article. But that doesn’t get Labour off the hook. You can’t put things right unless you allocate the budgets. Starmer-Reeves are not doing that. Yes, procurement of complex military machines takes time. But it won’t happen at all without more defence spending.

So Starmer has been out-negotiated again and the youth exchange scheme will work for EU youths but maybe not for Brits. There’s an easy solution this. Don’t sign it.
