@DavidHHeadley Can people see it, though? I think he’s calculated that half of the electorate don’t actually think things through and just cling to sound bites that are factually untrue.

Nigel, you’re missing the point. I don’t care who hacked your phone. The real story is that you’ll happily take money from almost anyone. Spare us the “man of the people” routine. You’re a grifter, and people can see it.

Apparently Mrs Brown’s Boys starts on BBC in just under 30 minutes. Stay alert. Keep remotes out of reach. Check on elderly relatives.

@TheRealLawtie I can understand using a euphemism when talking about death to a child. Apart from that, it should be “died”.

@Tramp_ Scared of death (or any mention of it) would be my guess. Can I get an, "Amen"?

Why do most people say “passed” or “passed on” when they mean “died”? It’s bloody annoying. Stop it. It’s even worse than the “can I get <item>?”

One question I’ve got… is how you journalists who supposedly support Everton can sit in front of Moyes and not be absolutely fuming at what’s gone on this season. Must have thick skin.
Giulia Bould@GiuliaBould

Everton close the Premier League season with a trip to Spurs who are battling to stay out the relegation zone David Moyes holds his pre match press conference at 10:30 today I'm sure my notifications will be busy but please be polite to myself and other journalists

@ChrisMasonBBC doing his best to try to trip up @AndyBurnhamGM over his position on trans rights. He finished his piece with a statement about scrutiny: maybe it’s me but I have yet to see his scrutiny of Farage and his tax affairs.

This should destroy Nigel Farage’s entire political argument. Net migration has collapsed from 944,000 to around 204,000, yet voters still think it’s rising because Reform and Farage have spent years feeding Britain hysteria instead of facts. Asylum seekers are only about 9% of immigration, not the “invasion” constantly screamed about. The NHS was broken by underfunding. Housing was broken by austerity. Wages were crushed by corporate greed. Migrants were the distraction. Not the cause.

Net migration has fallen 82%. I promised to restore control to our borders. My government is delivering. I know there’s more to do, we’re introducing a skills-based migration system that rewards contribution and ends our reliance on cheap overseas workers.

I was confident I could of played a major part this summer for my country after the season I’ve had. I’ve been left shocked and gutted by the decision. I’ve loved nothing more than putting that shirt on and representing my country over the years. I wish the players, all the best this summer 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

@AndyBurnhamGM @LeeAndersonMP_ Lee thinks you need to get your hands dirty to work and thus be classified as working class. Quite a strange definition, that.

@LeeAndersonMP_ You don’t need to argue with me, Lee. You need to listen to Gemma, the person who runs The Hamlet, and then decide whether as a Party you are prepared to do the decent thing.

Let me put the record straight in plain English. We had no plans at all to visit this venue. Rob was taking us on a tour of the constituency to places which meant something to him. He took us to an old factory site next to the canal to start the tour. This was a factory where Rob used to work ( if you're not familiar with the term 'work' it's something working class people do day in day out and it involves getting your hands dirty). As we drove around he decided to take us to a fishing lake where he has fished. Once there we saw a cafe and decided to have a cuppa and use the toilet. I am confused as to why the lady sent the letter as she sat with us talking to us all about the cafe and the challenges it faces. She then asked for a selfie with Rob and Nigel and thanked us for the visit. We then left. On entering the car park I came across a very shaken looking @christiancalgie who I believe had been subject to a torrent of verbal abuse, some of it by yourself. We know there is a lot of pressure on yourself to become Labour leader but this type of gutter politics has no place in the UK. The cafe is a great place doing great work and as a supporter of these types of establishments I know full well about the financial challenges they face and the conversations these establishments have with politicians to secure funding. It now makes me wonder why this letter has been sent and I just hope this cafe is not being taken advantage for political gain.

Mr @christiancalgie has been busy putting out a partial version of events these last few days, amplified by yourselves. I think it’s time all your readers had the whole story. They were all out of order and, if they had any decency, would now hold their hands up and apologise.

The Guardian: “Net migration down by three-quarters, the biggest fall in NHS waiting lists for 17 years, knife crime cut by 10%, the economy growing the fastest in the G7, rising wages, energy bills and petrol prices held down, the biggest sustained rise in defence spending since the cold war, a massive expansion of free childcare … If Keir Starmer did tub-thumping lists of Labour’s achievements in the style of Gordon Brown, he would not actually have a shortage of things to talk about.” During the two years of Labour government, following fourteen years of Tory mismanagement, there have actually been significant improvements in Britain. Why does the Tory media not report them?

@KnutCrosswords I’m so sorry to read this, Rob. I met Colin a couple of times and he sent me some lovely messages. As well as a great crossword man he was also a very keen Wagnerian and a good friend of the late, great Neil Shepherd.

I was saddened at the weekend to learn of the death of former FT crossword ed Colin Inman. He was a lovely man and a joy to work for. I met him several times both in the UK and Germany and we kept in touch after his retirement in 2022. He did the job for just the 42 years. RIP
