@edwardwhitenz @FT @FTMag Really excellent piece! I enjoyed reading immensely.

In early April @xueqiao1994 and I travelled from Shanghai out west to Chengdu to meet a remarkable new Chinese literary talent. Here is the story of Hu Anyan and the curious freedom of China's wild writers. ft.com/content/03507b… (via @FT @FTMag )

@Champ20n5 @teragramytrehod @derekgoulding @Bozenka_2023 Because his mother is English.

@teragramytrehod @derekgoulding @Bozenka_2023 Why was the English cricket one day captain Irish then?!

Daniel Wiffen is a solid example of how Clarke Kent was able to go about his business without people knowing he was Superman #Olympics #Paris2024

@ItsCherrySue Thank you for your service

Did you know you can buy Just for Men beard dye for a little over a fiver, and because they're resealable tubes, get a good 6mths of brow tints from it? Because you can absolutely do that

@RuthieFizz Also see; the WhatsApp you sent me today.

Frankly ridiculous scrabble board for @RuthieFizz and I.

Another incredible silver kumite medal🥈today… and getting closer to the gold 🥇

@NicolaKavana Her PR/press people should really have prepped her for that question… it should have been a fairly minor but has blown up now!

@gillianfitz @KevDoyle_Indo @SPARIreland I think it is usual to give advance notice if questions like that are going to be asked, to warn people & give them a chance to prepare etc. I don't object to the Q, but she was clearly uncomfortable & wanted to move on & he badgered her which I think is unfair

Seemed like a very reasonable line of questioning from the reporter. Why not just answer the question? ‘Next question’ – Kellie Harrington accuses broadcaster of ‘trying to hang me out to dry’ in heated debate on controversial tweet independent.ie/sport/other-sp…

@BunsenB61592999 I don’t think Spar will or should end their relationship either - I was just highlighting it wasn’t a totally random question. She could have answered it and moved.

@gillianfitz @NicolaKavana @KevDoyle_Indo @SPARIreland It’s PR not politics. If Spar don’t like her views (shared by a growing majority of Irish) they can end their relationship. Suspect that won’t happen. Male media types badgering female sports people esp unpopular today with the backlash finally happening against the woke “trans”.

@NicolaKavana @KevDoyle_Indo In fairness she was there to promote a @SPARIreland campaign. And given it’s a community fund initiative, the question feels relevant.

@KevDoyle_Indo I don't like what she tweeted but he blindsided her. She was there to talk about sport, that's all she talks about. She repeatedly said she didn't want to talk about politics, asked him to move on, and he continued to badger her. I don't think that's fair
