@SkySportsPL Quite agree.corners are a wrestling match, not football. Just look at Rice this weekend! He is just an example. The referees could stop it but don’t. Book and send off the offenders.

@afneil The spin put on this story by HMG is a worry. Who are they trying to kid?

Surely this cannot be right? Chancellor Rachel Reeves is describing her China trip as a 'significant milestone' in re-engagement with Beijing, saying she has agreed deals worth £600m to the UK economy. If that’s it, it wasn’t worth the journey. For China it’s not even small change. It’s not that much for UK either — we’re a £2.7 trillion plus economy! And it’s £600m over five years. So a piddling £120m a year. The NHS spends that of a morning. These things are always settled in advance. If that is truly all that was on offer she should never have gone. Unless the full picture has yet to be revealed, she really has come back empty handed.

@labourlewis The majority of people in this country are content with the monarchy I suggest. The majority of MPs had no problem with the oath. You know about the oath prior to standing for Parliament.

After omitting to swear allegiance to King Charles' “heirs and successors” last week, I've had to take the oath again in order to sit in the House of Commons. The majority of the public are committed to democracy, and so I hope one day MPs can swear an oath based on those values.

The UK is drifting, unhappy, losing faith in previously respected institutions (like the police), buffeted by extremists (often allowed to run amok), dismayed by decline, angry at the inability of the political class to do anything about it, despairing that the Westminster politico/media bubble pursues an agenda, issues and priorities (look at the obsession with Lee Anderson) which are not most people’s — and had enough of being lectured to by a disconnected, de haut en bas chattering class. Yet we have a Prime Minister and Leader of the Opposition incapable of speaking up for the moderate majority, who still have pride in their country and are desperate for strong leadership and guidance through the current morass — plus some hope/sign things will get better — all within the bounds of traditional British tolerance and fair play. This vacuum is dangerous.

@KayBurley The Duke of Sussex reveals this to explain why he did not act in a timely manner on his complaint. Typical aggrieved sibling when the elder brother has something he wants. Fair play to William if he got a payment for damages a few years ago and didn’t go public

🔉YOUR THOUGHTS🔉 Harry claims William took a substantial payment from The Sun newspaper over alleged phone hacking claims. If so, should William have kept that quiet and what’s he done with the cash? Thoughts 👇

A few myth busting thoughts on the UK’s evacuation operation in Sudan: 1. The UK reacted as quickly (if not quicker in some areas) in standing up a evacuation force. 2. It will have to operate for longer and have greater capacity than other Nations with smaller national numbers.
