@JohnRentoul I returned and saw under the sun, that the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, neither yet bread to the wise, nor yet riches to men of understanding, nor yet favour to men of skill; but time and chance happeneth to them all.

@JohnRentoul Yes. And they also give Lab 67% and the Greens 14%. So that’s 116% so far…..

Ladbrokes give Reform a 35% chance in Gorton and Denton

@DominicWells_SJ @KwekuCofie Please

@KwekuCofie I have so many notes from this season, but I didn’t think there’d be an appetite for the negativity. There’s so many problems, I could make a thread if people wanted me too!

What a genuinely awful team to watch. We create next-to-nothing, we lose all of our duels, players disinterested, no co-ordination. Martí’s systems are terrible, his ideas of how to control the ball are hideous. The OOP shape is non-existent, we don’t press, what do we offer?

@cuzcuzverde @DKristoffersson Can he play left back?

🚨 #Leicester City have reached an agreement in principle with Gais (🇸🇪) for the signing of striker Ibrahim Diabaté (26) 🇨🇮 [@DKristoffersson] #lcfc #transfers

@Spadey12 @rorysutherland Abundance theory saves us from all those inconvenient trade-offs. Lucky that.

@rorysutherland Accounting: “What did we pay?” Austrian economics: “What did we miss out on by choosing this?” = blow your brain , trying to think like this in the real world.

This is why we are doomed. IT firms always sell to corporates on the basis of two things only. 1) Fear and 2) Cost-saving. It's risky talking to Finance, Procurement, IT or Compliance about opportunity, value-creation or growth. They often don't want to know. "Aspire to greatness" makes for a terrible sales-deck!

@NoContextLCFC Claude Puel started to build a fabulous LCFC side. It lacked a midfield genius (Mendy, ffs) but then he signed Tielemans. We were all fed up with him by then so easy to bring in Brendan to take the plaudits, and slowly fukc things up. IMO Puel deserved better.

@cuzcuzverde Thank you

#LCFC window is done. Thanks to everyone who followed this page. I'm just a fan who loves the Club and likes to closely follow everything that happens there. Sometimes, due to the daily routine, it can be a bit hard, but always try my best. May this season bring us much joy.💙🦊

@BBCSteveR Quite wonderful.

This behemoth thread now consists of 1000 tweets. Please clap.

@K_Niemietz Weird. I got exactly the same result (to the %). Seems odd to think that conservatives and libertarians would be in the same clique. Oh wait….

Was he really?

OK, I'll bite...

@OrielOxford Well done to all 4.5 of them!

@gunsnrosesgirl3 Why?

Japan has invented a beer glass that helps you to drink slower

@Gilesyb I take the point. But it’s a reversal of the traditional understanding of welfare, where State ‘picked up the slack’ rather than had the primary obligation.

🎉🌼🌸April Fools! 🌸🌼🎉 Only kidding. Obviously, the people mentioned in the above tweets aren't women at all, but men, every last one of them. In passing the Scottish Hate Crime Act, Scottish lawmakers seem to have placed higher value on the feelings of men performing their idea of femaleness, however misogynistically or opportunistically, than on the rights and freedoms of actual women and girls. The new legislation is wide open to abuse by activists who wish to silence those of us speaking out about the dangers of eliminating women's and girls’ single-sex spaces, the nonsense made of crime data if violent and sexual assaults committed by men are recorded as female crimes, the grotesque unfairness of allowing males to compete in female sports, the injustice of women’s jobs, honours and opportunities being taken by trans-identified men, and the reality and immutability of biological sex. For several years now, Scottish women have been pressured by their government and members of the police force to deny the evidence of their eyes and ears, repudiate biological facts and embrace a neo-religious concept of gender that is unprovable and untestable. The re-definition of 'woman' to include every man who declares himself one has already had serious consequences for women's and girls’ rights and safety in Scotland, with the strongest impact felt, as ever, by the most vulnerable, including female prisoners and rape survivors. It is impossible to accurately describe or tackle the reality of violence and sexual violence committed against women and girls, or address the current assault on women’s and girls’ rights, unless we are allowed to call a man a man. Freedom of speech and belief are at an end in Scotland if the accurate description of biological sex is deemed criminal. I'm currently out of the country, but if what I've written here qualifies as an offence under the terms of the new act, I look forward to being arrested when I return to the birthplace of the Scottish Enlightenment. If you agree with the views set out in this tweet, please retweet it. #ArrestMe #AprilFools #HateCrimeActScotland 11/X

@IanCopeland5 @zaelefty @rohangilkes I’m guessing that your highest level of education is PhD, right? I worked it out.

@zaelefty It sounds like we need to get you in a space. Sex is not binary. That's incorrect. I've seen your videos on this topic, it's giving high school understanding of biology. What's your highest level of education? @rohangilkes let's see if he's brave...

Sex (like all traits) is not binary. Gender (which is a social construct ) is not binary. All traits are on a spectrum. Many species of fish change their sex regularly. Sex is no exception to the rules of biology, just because you are a bigot... bbcearth.com/news/fish-are-…
