@DavidTaylor85 I wouldn't read The Sun though if I cared about justice for victims

I do agree with him on one thing though - that we do justice in court, so I'm sure he'll agree that the conviction of Palestine Action activists yesterday was very welcome. 2/2 thesun.co.uk/news/39024871/…

Zack Polanski just can't help himself. Instead of properly apologising for his attacks on the brave police officers who stopped a terrorist in his tracks, he's spreading fake news about what actually happened. It's about time he set the record straight. 1/2

@TakshaySheth @APTalksCricket You seem to want to cry in victory! England played well to get close to that score but lost to a formidable team playing at home in a semi final. No shame in that. Well done India. Come on the Kiwis

@APTalksCricket England are Perennial cry babies. They want to find reason to discredit India

England were cpmfortably thrashed by India in Guyana in the 2024 T20 World Cup semifinal. But instead of acknowledging that they got outplayed by a better team on the day and applauding India's change in mindset, England experts like Michael Vaughan, Atherton and Nasser Hussain and even Ben Stokes saidnIndia were the stronger team and kept adding the phrase "in these conditions" because it was a slow pitch. Ok England. Wankhede gave you the flattest pitch ever. Exactly what you get back in England. Also you won tje toss and got best conditions to bat. So what is "In these conditions" excuse now? Proper revenge of 2022 Adelaide. #INDvsENG #T20WorldCup2026

@KrazyCynic1125 @APTalksCricket As a regular on the Western Terrace I can promise you that people do not throw beer or anything else at opposition supporters. They do give stick to the players but it's all pretty well humoured and the plyers never seem to mind.

@APTalksCricket Someone should tell Baz unlike the western Terrace at Headingley or Bay 13 at the G, North Stand crowds at the wankhede don't throw beer or bodily fluids on opposition supporters and don't question the parentage of boundary riders.

@SaintsForecast Around this time we shifted from hating the team for being rubbish to getting 100% behind them to get us out of it. The players also shifted to relegation fight mode. Neither of those were evident in Spurs last night.

They don’t seem to. Everton fans especially when Dyche first arrived understood EXACTLY what time it was and were 100% behind the team. I’m Not sure Spurs fans get they are in a crisis

@JKSteinberger Did you not get the memo - we're currently at the jingoisitc "what could possibly go wrong and anyone who thinks it might not all be plain sailing loves the Ayatollah and doesn't want Iranians to be free" stage of military intervention.

Very much this part.

@soniasodha It was a pretty big failure - but I agree, there's lots of other failures when intervening that we could also look to before deciding to bomb places

It was crass when Labour MPs in 2013 crowed about how they’d prevented another Iraq after voting against intervention in Syria. Obviously lessons from Iraq matter. But sometimes I think Labour MPs are obsessed with this foreign policy failure to the exclusion of everything else.

@DavidTaylor85 @ZackPolanski If brave Iranians protest the regime again (as Trump urges) exactly how will we stop them from being massacred in the streets again? Our intervention in the ME is not one of unadulterated success for the people we want to see liberated.

@ZackPolanski Would you prefer Iranian freedom protesters be massacred in the streets by the IRGC? Shot in the eye at close range? Tortured & raped? And what's the lesson from Libya? To let them be killed like 'cockroaches' as Gaddafi planned to do? Your student-politics approach helps noone

It took just one phone call from Donald Trump for Starmer to jump into yet another Middle East illegal war, failing to learn the lessons of the tragedies of Iraq, Libya and Syria.

@bobbi_efc__ @RCGT4_ It's so ridiculous. I'm in the East Stand. The scousers there aren't making any noise, they leave early, eat chicken. My son (an out of towner) is always trying to sing and make noise but the damn scousers are ruining it for him

@RCGT4_ Ahaaha don’t write stupid fuckin tweets then

@eajacobs1989 @Bgal1486 @66PerfumeFanUK @AdamSants_ I've always found the Broad thing weird. A country that basically prides itself on not walking going crazy over opposition not walking

I wonder if the Australian cricketing public & media are clearly previously on record as to their position of edging the ball & not walking in an Ashes test.

Amazing to have been part of @runforall and support the brilliant @CandlelightersT - such a brilliant day running around the hills of Leeds with all the good Yorkshire folk cheering us on. You can still support, thanks to everyone that has donated justgiving.com/page/ian-sulli…

@IvoGraham Amazing! Such a special event to be part of. How did you find the hills in the end?

Hobbling like a fool this morning post Leeds marathon. A hugely special and exhausting day in the heat with the icon Rosie Jones. 3:55 in the end. So proud to run with her and for Rob Burrow and the whole community. Any donations gladly received! donate.giveasyoulive.com/fundraising/ro…

I am running the Leeds marathon and fundraising for the amazing Candlelighters. They support children (and their families) who have cancer. They do such fantastic work, please donate if you can. Thank you! @CandlelightersT justgiving.com/page/ian-sulli…

@WolvesChants24 I was impressed! Kept singing, stayed until the end. We would have walked out ages before full time

A lot of Everton fans saying we’re the best set of fans they’ve seen at Goodison for some time. No matter that our club may be dying under these charlatan, crook owners, we’ll never die. Wanderers will never die, we’ll keep the gold flag flying high. 🎶 #WWFC #Wolves

@barneyronay The Coote truthers are convinced it's the tip of the deep state iceberg - the files will prove everything. RELEASE THEM

Was obvious what was going to happen next to David Coote, who is just some bloke with familiar weaknesses, not the leader of the global conspiracy against Your Thing. Time to leave the poor fuck alone theguardian.com/football/2024/…

@TheBarmyArmy Thorpe

Without telling us your age, who is the first cricketer you fell in love with?

In years to come, students in university departments around the world will be studying the propaganda embedded in this headline. As someone who regularly lectures in sociology, journalism and media studies, I could teach an entire lesson on the title alone. For example: 1. Treating the 4 Israeli soldiers as more important than the 23 Palestinian children (by leading the story with their deaths and just chucking in the others at the end) implies their lives are of higher value. 2. Infantilizing active duty soldiers as "teenagers" while not emphasizing the age of the schoolkids, despite many of them being demonstrably younger. 3. The classic use of the passive voice: Israelis are "killed" while Palestinians merely "die". 4. Putting scare quotes around "23 die" subtly undermines the credibility of that claim. Maybe no one died, and the Palestinians are just lying? 5. Using the word "attack" for Hezbollah actions, but choosing a more neutral, clinical word like "strike" for Israeli aggression. 6. Allowing Israeli sources to dictate the framing of the story ("Israel names teenage soldiers") etc. 7. Actually naming the Israeli soldiers, but not doing the same for the far greater number of Palestinians, again sends the message to the reader that Palestinian lives don't matter nearly as much, if at all. It's truly incredible how much propaganda has been packed into 16 words. We are swimming in an ocean of propaganda. That's why it is crucial to deconstruct it and critically assess everything you read, see and hear.

I'm very impressed that the Conservatives have managed to lose an election which only had Conservatives running in it.
