@Ryan_Vrede Do you think the coaches wanted to see if Libbok can kick in a pressure game we could afford to lose? If so, they have their answer.

Boks leadership is absolutely ordinary here. The lineout maul has been a banker for this team. Instead they've opted to kick for goal, with no recognised kicker. Wild man. Wild. #IREvRSA

Any way to mute the crowds at the President’s Cup? #getinthehole

I can’t figure out if the UK gov’t intended for headlines like this or have they simply mismanaged the communication? Self-isolation as a public health tool is NOT ending, only the requirement to do so by law. How can headline writers get it so wrong?

This is a government that lies. It lies as a matter of policy. It lies as a matter of course. It lies because it doesn’t know what else to do. It lies because it is all it can do. This is a government that lies. Me in @ObserverUK theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

So proud of my brother.

@afairweather The ‘contrarians’ in your article may just be using Trump’s name to protest the left’s own authoritarian tendencies (cancel culture etc). They have found a useful tool to trigger a reaction and promote their point of view, but I wonder how long they’ll remain Trump ‘supporters’

I wonder which of the fake Melanias has drawn the short straw to live with him in Mar-a-Lago

Why do the police decide that some threats must be extinguished, while other threats get defused? We know the answer.

Remarkable ad. Those suggesting Nike shouldn’t be so political don’t get just how important sport is for reminding us of our common humanity
