This is a reckless act of escalation that endangers us all. No discussion. No debate. What a disgrace. How on earth can the Prime Minister still pretend we are not involved? It doesn't matter how he dresses it up. Britain is participating in an illegal war of aggression.

@cjsouthwell1902 @TulsaLange Very glad to hear it and hopefully it will be a lesson for those fans/commentators who chose to minimise his actions at the time, or at least were too keen to see it from his viewpoint. There was no proper apology & he showed his true colours by denying the charge.

#PNE midfielder Jordan Thompson handed a three game ban for violent conduct after kicking a bottle into the City Stand during the game last weekend👇 #NCFC

@tom1902136 @TulsaLange Your toxic masculinity is going well for you?

@TulsaLange Oh fuck off. An accident. Why are our fans such a bunch of fannys?

I hope the FA & PNE make an example out of Jordan Thompson after his conduct when leaving the pitch (I was sat directly in front of the lady who got struck by the water bottle). His apology was half-hearted. At least Stuart McCall asked if the lady was OK at Full Time. #NCFC

@reephambird It funny because they won't do anything about anti-social behaviour from human beings.

Norwich City Council want to kill these wonderful birds. There’d just so much wrong in this world.

Predictably as the Trump war is degenerating into further chaos & Trump & his boys play at war like video games,we risk being dragged into this disastrous maelstrom. We should not allow our country to be bounced any further into this growing nightmare. Join others to demand peace

#canarycall Sounds like excuses are being made for the Preston player. Many people may get frustrated in their job but they do not kick something and put others at risk. Thompson deserves any consequences that follow.

@cjsouthwell1902 @TulsaLange has just been on Canary Call as he was sitting in front of the lady who was hit and he says that the apology was very half-hearted. Completely unacceptable.

Just a line post-match but there was an incident in the second half of today's game where #PNE midfielder Jordan Thompson kicked a water bottle after being subbed off. That flew into the City Stand and hit two supporters. Thompson quickly went over and apologised. #NCFC

#canarycall I don't know what Andy Marshall is talking about. Kicking a water bottle in temper & putting someone in the crowd at risk is completely different to an accidental stray football.

Over the years I’ve been in many towns and cities when they were being bombed — in a few cases (Baghdad, Belgrade etc) by my own country. No matter what the justification, most of the victims have been entirely innocent. I’ve come to loathe the very thought of aerial bombardment.

@labourlewis After Morgan McSweeney took the rap for Mandelson, Starmer now seems to be shifting the narrative to take the blame himself. Must be connected to the release of the latest batch of documents. He will have calculated how best to save his own skin.

Peter Mandelson represents a rotten political culture, where proximity to wealth and power are the end goal. This has to change.

In a fair society, there would be no billionaires, and no one would live in poverty.

Keir Starmer knew about Mandelson’s relationship with Epstein — and appointed him anyway. What an absolute disgrace.

The government’s sudden faux outrage about Peter Mandelson isn’t fooling anyone. The Prime Minister knew full well about his connections to Epstein. He has gravely let down Epstein’s victims — and deserves to pay a political price.

Thinking of Holly, Jessica and those left behind who loved them desperately.

Just seen 'EPiC' again & I have to say that it was as equally breathtaking an experience as it was the first time round. An absolute tour de force which I wholeheartedly recommend. #Elvis on the big screen at the peak of his powers. It doesn't get better than that. #ElvisPresley

My question to Keir Starmer in the Commons today when we discussed Trump’s illegal war against Iraq.

@Peston Most people won't understand the PM's logic...how patronising. Thank goodness we have Mr. Peston to explain the offensive/defensive distinction to us as we would never have worked that out on our own.

Keir Starmer would not, I think, aspire to be Winston Churchill (during the general election, when I pressed him to pick one hero from history, he reluctantly alighted on Nelson Mandela). And on the evidence of conversations with his team, I didn’t detect sadness that Donald Trump has turned on him by denigrating him as no reincarnation of Britain’s celebrated war-time leader. Party politics explains that. The left of the Labour Party hated the way they saw Starmer fawning to the American president for more than a year. And what looked to them like appeasement helped the Green Party under Polanski win votes in the Gorton and Denton by-election and support more broadly. So maybe Starmer’s refusal, initially, to allow Trumpt to use British bases including Diego Garcia for its war against Iran - which is what sparked Trump’s fury - will temper the Green surge. Maybe. But economics and politics are at odds here. And the economics may yet rebound on Starmer. Because a vindictive Trump may punish Starmer by shredding the preferential tariffs, for car manufacturers and other exporters, that the prime minister secured as a result of wooing Trump. And that would be both costly for the UK and humiliating for Starmer. That said, the evidence of opinion polls is that a majority of British people do not want the UK to go to war against Iran, and they are not Trump fans. So again the rift may not be politically costly to the PM. But there is another but. Namely that we are now allowing the US to use our air bases. And most people won’t understand the PM’s logic in saying no to US fighter jets a few days ago and yes today. The logic, for Starmer, is that his attorney general Richard Hermer told him it was unlawful for America to use our bases when America was the aggressor and before Tehran had retaliated but it became lawful when Tehran started dropping bombs on our Gulf and Arab allies. Voters may well accept that is international law. And they may also say that if so the law is an ass. Some of them may also say that the PM made a mistake in alienating the most powerful leader in the world, at a time of international crisis, when there was always a strong probability that Iran would lash out at the UK and allies, such that Starmer would have to capitulate and permit the American military to deploy on UK property. As a number of senior military and intelligence people have said to me, though using slightly different words, if in this case international law was an ass, maybe the PM was too, for putting that law above realpolitik.

Mark my words: Starmer’s decision to drag Britain into another illegal war will prove to be a catastrophic, historic mistake.

@BillyIdol I think you misunderstand this movie Billy. It is absolutely incredible and showcases who Elvis was.

Saw the EPIC Elvis movie with my sister Jane & family on Sunday… they kept breaking up the songs with dialogue…!

@slayerella_666 @BillyIdol Don't pay any attention to Billy whatsoever. Elvis tells his own story but the performances are the focal point and it is brilliantly done. You have to see it in the cinema.

@BillyIdol Ohhh thank you for this. Wanted to see it in the theatre to enjoy the music. Sounds like I should just wait!
