@legsidelizzy FWIW, for people who actually like and care about cricket- you are a must read and a superb advocate for cricket generally, men and women. Well played.

No

@MagnaAulae @ShippersUnbound You think Morgan McSweeney was a minister? Or Olly Robbins? Or Philip Barton? Or, during this time, Peter Mandelson?

@hickunderrated @ShippersUnbound On the contrary, it is the duty of a private secretary to a minister to make a record of all of the minister’s meetings.

At every stage of this process Thornberry seems most of all irate when there are notes or minutes of key decisions. This has been common since Blair's day

@MagnaAulae @ShippersUnbound That's not their job though. A PPS isn't a secretary in the "traditional" sense.

@hickunderrated @ShippersUnbound But unlike ministers, most of us do not have personal private secretaries whose job is to minute the decisions we take,

@DavidDPaxton I think this is the key point. One of my teachers at school was Richard Nerurkar, coached by Bruce Tulloh, training for the Barcelona Olympics. We worked out back then that it was around 17 secs per 100 metres. This, whilst amazing, isn’t that amazing.

I guess, in short, stop making it sound like you only just found out what freaks elite runners are.

Funny how arbitrary markers work. Like how scoring 99 in Cricket is annoying but 100 is magnificent. And so with breaking the two hour marathon. I get it. It’s amazing. And I like landmark achievements like that even if arbitrary. But…

@NoContextEPL I think it's because Martinez pulled DCL's hair, but DCL didn't pull Cucurella's hair, as seen in the video. Happy to help!

VAR checked a pull on Cucurella… no action ❌ Right call—but where’s the consistency with Martínez last week? 🤔

@e1duchess Wh...what's happened to his shirt?

My growler just turned itself inside out with second hand cringe.

@FootballCliches superb FNIT

@Jamin2g This is hardly "now" Ben .

@cjsnowdon Wow. I would never have believed those figures to be the case.

According to Iain Duncan Smith, gambling advertising should be banned because it is "luring people into gambling more and more." 🤔

@FootballCliches @D_C_W Titanic sank season 11/12, of course

@khrenovukha @BBCMarkSimpson @markdevenport Oh fuck off.

@BBCMarkSimpson @markdevenport Didn’t the man clearly need urgent medical attention rather than just a crutch to finish a race?

Watch how a runner from North Down Athletic Club (yellow vest) forgets his own race and helps. 👏👏👏🌟🌟🌟🌟

@BBCr4today superb by Sean Farrington and an absolute car crash interview with Lauren Schultz from @McDonalds. She is so tone deaf.

@brian_tea @FullFact @DeborahMeaden Knife crime is up 72% since Sadiq Khan became Mayor. That IS a fact.

@FullFact @DeborahMeaden Too late though. All the gullible fools that follow the Tories and Reform have already seen it and believed it. They will be spreading hate and division all Over social media as a result.

Yesterday we published a fact check about an incorrect claim made by Conservative MP Esther McVey about knife crime in London. We're grateful to the Express for correcting Ms McVey's article after contact from Full Fact. fullfact.org/crime/esther-m…

@FullFact @DAaronovitch So knife crime is up 72% since Khan became Mayor. Great win, David!

@dansmyth11 @Davolaar @thisisanfield What other thing doesn’t increase? Inflation happens. Why should football tickets be different?

@hickunderrated @Davolaar @thisisanfield Missing the point entirely here. It’s not about the amount of the increase. The bigger picture is that over time these increases become a regular thing, becoming normal and expected. If allowed to reach that point, it becomes a huge problem.

NEW: Liverpool FC say they WON’T back down over ticket price protests lfc.thisisanfield.com/TS5t8F

@mark_slapinski Ratio!

Trans women have the right to use any washroom they prefer. If that bothers Conservatives, they can stay home.

@Davolaar @thisisanfield My point is: it’s a pretty small increase. If there are so many “fans” that don’t want to sacrifice the price of a coffee, three quid, a week, then let them give their tickets to people who will pay.

@hickunderrated @thisisanfield Go 'ed..what's your cut off point? Based on you attending every game*

@Davolaar @thisisanfield There are literally thousands of fans who would happily pay what they’re asking and not be precious about a tiny increase.

@thisisanfield Imagine under estimating Liverpool fans..🙄
