It feels wrong that a show dedicated to calling out incorrect refereeing decisions just finds it all such a laugh that Marco Senesi cheated.

Fares trial @LNER ended in Feb 2026. It was unpopular with passengers, less flexible and more expensive. Why haven’t normal fares returned? @seatsixtyone @DavidHorne

Something seemed to happen with the time keeping at the end of that game. The refs watch seemed to stop working after the 6 mins. I get maybe 30 secs for the sub - but 2 1/2 mins??? No way… #EVEMCI

"We're in the North of England, and we have been forgotten about for too long" Primary school headteacher Steve Marsland tells @SophyRidgeSky the govt has been talking about Mandelson for weeks, when it is the cost of living that is affecting people.

@Channel4News It’s the same for everybody. The education system I’ve been a governor in for the last 25 years is an inclusive environment doing the best it can for every child. The staff, teachers, leaders and governors work so hard every day to provide the best learning environment they can.

@BethRigby Please give us a break. This is another attempt at clutching at straws. You make things up, throw them about and see what sticks, which is nothing based on your recent record. This isn’t journalism.

Before the Mandelson vetting scandal blew up, Starmer was preparing for a cabinet reshuffle & Kings Speech reset. Now, No 10 team split on shuffling top team as they deal with the Mandelson fall out & look to what could be shattering May elections. What’s going on? 👇

@IanByrneMP @EmmaLewell Sorry Ian but I think you are wrong on this one. This is political theatre and a pre-election ploy that you’ve been played in. The mood in the country is to improve our lot - BP’s obscene profits should be the focus of your anger.

Today I voted in favour of Keir Starmer going to the Privileges Committee over the Mandelson issue. I don’t agree with Labour MPs being whipped to vote against this and as my friend @EmmaLewell so eloquently told Parliament today, in doing so the Government has shown how deeply disconnected it is from the public mood. I am seeking full transparency and accountability from all public officials via #Hillsborough Law and nobody should be above that.

@KarlTurnerMP What a strange take to have. I struggle with your logic. Surely if you voted in support of the motion you can’t be accused of voting for a cover-up. Perhaps focus on the stuff that matters to us. BP’s profits, cost of living, jury trials and improving our country again…

I have just voted with the Motion referring the Prime Minister to the committee of Standards and Privileges. I am confident the committee would have exonerated him. We now have the indignity of being accused of voting for a ‘cover up’ which our opponents are excited to prosecute.

@RichardBurgon You are a disgrace to your party!! You speak about putting people first. You are so wrong with this issue. The country cares about other things. Please explain your silence on today’s BP obscene profits announcement. I’m sure this affects your constituents more.

I just voted for the motion for Keir Starmer to go to the Privileges Committee over the Mandelson issue. Whipping MPs to block this was wrong and reinforces so much of what people hate about Westminster.

@BBCPolitics Of course she is. She’s campaigned against Labour for years all whilst riding on their coat-tails. Shameful. The sooner Rebecca and her ‘colleagues’ are out of MY party the better.

@EmmaLewell You are the only people out of touch with the public mood. I’m sorry but you no longer represent MY party with these silly games. Where’s your anger at the real problems in this country?? For instance BP’s obscene profits announcement today. That’s where the problems exist.

@AndyMcDonaldMP Please don’t fall for all this. We have far more pressing matters that need your attention. I feel you are following the lead of others in OUR party that are trying their utmost to topple our leadership. It won’t get us anywhere. Where’s the focus on BP’s obscene profits???

Andy McDonald MP for Middlesbrough & Thornaby East
The appointment of Peter Mandelson was wholly and utterly unsuitable. Nonetheless, the PM has set out a detailed chronology, and made it clear he has not misled this House. It would be the right thing to do to embrace this Privilege process.
