Tonight could be the night #ntfc

@forwardnotback @thevicarswife Never heard of it before , but yes. Founded in Salford in 1835. The Australian branch still survives.

@thevicarswife Temperance society?

Pork Goulash (nod to & Mashed Potatoes (nod to Péter Magyar's Hungary election landslide) Apple Crumble & Custard Lovely dinner! #HospitalFood done right

@BoothCricket Always... 🤔

@fazacjc You mean you had hope?

Didn’t take long. Four sessions into the new season and Northamptonshire are already hurtling to defeat.

@NorthantsCCC It's the hope that kills you...

11.4 | Anderson gets Sales for his second wicket of the over. Northamptonshire 41/5.

@James_ChronNTFC What happened at Christmas to cause this implosion? Wheatley going back? Dressing Room fall out?? Too many pigs in blankets???

16th time Cobblers have failed to score in a game this season. Joint most in L1. 1 win in 16 since Christmas Day. 8 points from a possible 48 #ntfc

@andrewkbailey13 @FraserNelson What happened to "tea pot brown", "cold boiled ham" and "sweet peas hot" for tan, cos and sin?

@FraserNelson Disagree memorising equations is easier than explaining concepts. Learners need to know and understand which relationship to use and why. That's much harder than substitution of values with no understanding. Here's the relationship sheet for AH Physics. sqa.org.uk/pastpapers/pap…

You can bet private school kids will still be taught and expected to memorise equations. This dumbing down - by ministerial diktat - will only deepen inequality: a case study in the soft bigotry of low expectations.

No. 1 - stay at home

@a_thomas1958 Thanks

it doesn't matter it is only once a match started it must be like for like. A country names 15 players & they could pick 15 batters if they were that foolish.

@bbctms @stevesmith49 @T20WorldCup That's hardly like for like, doesn't that matter?

Australia have officially added @stevesmith49 to their squad @T20WorldCup. The Technical Committee have approved Smith as a replacement for Josh Hazlewood. Australia face Sri Lanka later in a must win game. #BBCCricket #T20WorldCup

@BBCLookEast why no mention of @ntfc fixture in your lunchtime news, whilst other teams were mentioned

@DrHelenFry A pound note annotated with a list of various bombing missions, including Peenemunde. My grandfather was given it in payment at his butchers shop in Preston.

What is your most precious piece of World War Two memorabilia?

@fisherman_ikram @PippaCrerar 😂😂😂😂😂

@PippaCrerar Labour have to apologise to Corbyn, bring him back in the party and as leader!

@Mark4Hitchin @BethRigby Why would he do that?

@BethRigby All eyes on Burnham now. If he steps down as Mayor and runs as independent in the by-election then Starmer is really in it.

To my mind, any hope Starmer has to survive as Prime Minister meant shutting Burnham out. In blocking his rival, the PM and his team have decided it’s better the take the short-term pain and inevitable backlash than allow the psychodrama of the Starmer/ Burnham leadership battle to run for weeks into the May elections, drowning out policy discussions and dividing the party. The backlash is already underway - just look at the tweets piling up from furious MPs. The pile on gives you a sense of the divisions and anger in the party. It's because both options were awful for Starmer. Allow Burnham to run and amplify the drumbeat of a leadership challenge that is already constant around Westminster, making it impossible for Starmer to make his case to the country in the run-up to the May elections (already hard given the constant Trump crises that pull him into international affairs). Block him and face the fury of the left, further eroding party discipline, while making Burnham a martyr. It is likely that this decision will only harden opposition against Starmer and make his job even harder in the coming months as he grapples with a pile of difficult issues - the social media ban for under 16s, jury trials, ground rents - with a increasingly ungovernable party. Up until this moment, Starmer had been benefitting from the support of the soft left in the party - see Lucy Powell’s interview with me last week in which she urged colleagues 'not to undermine Keir' - as MPs rowed in behind Starmer because the alternative, Wes Streeting, would, from their perspective, be worse. Does he now lose that support? It would be a very lonely place indeed, as Streeting allies on the centre right of the party continue to mobilise and agitate. But No 10 and PM clearly concluded that Burnham would likely mount a challenge after May should Labour do, as expected, terribly in the local, Scottish and Welsh elections. Burnham’s backers can shout and scream all their like, blocking this key rival means that a candidate that would surely storm it home with the membership against Starmer, can't take a shot. That's why, to my mind, any hope Starmer has to survive as Prime Minister meant shutting Burnham out. But what the PM and his team can’t predict is what that gamble unleashes now with the pressures and challenges mounting evermore on this embattled PM.

@BBCBreakfast @BBCPolitics I spent 24 hours in A&E last week with my sick wife. An announcement over the tannoy "will the nurses responsible for the patients in corridors please come to the nurses' station"

'Nobody should be having care in a corridor' Health Minister Stephen Kinnock spoke to #BBCBreakfast after footage emerged of 51 patients are being treated on trolleys in corridors at Queen's Hospital in Romford in east London bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

@RationalBWFC And the keeper should have saved it

Not even gonna entertain the Schumacher out shouts at this point. But what can we do when our 2 centre halfs are soft as shite? #bwfc

@forwardnotback None of them look nice..

At times I’m quite happy I can’t taste anything The green triangle quality street mocha sounds awful

🚨🚨🚨Eggflation Not seen eggs this cheap for ages

@iMcKenzied Thanks. I lived and traveled in Iran for a couple of years 74-76. Revolution was I think about the corruption, but I never had Iran down as fundamentally religious. Lovely people.

@fazacjc Multifactoral I reckon. Youthful inexperience in the newsroom? Few people can now actually remember 1979. A blasé ignorance of the dangers of Islamofascist totalitarianism? An over prevalent anti West attitude? A red-green horseshoe legs meeting? Widespread antisemitism?

Excellent indeed. “Supporting the protesters today therefore requires acknowledging their central demand: the end of the Islamic Republic and its theocratic rule.” A sentiment yet to find its way into a BBC report.
