@avfc_stef Possibly the most overrated player in Villa history. Other than odd flashes of Brazilian magic, he acted as a handbrake on our attacks and he was just plain lazy - it was too often like playing with 10 players with Kamara carrying him. I was jubilant when he left.

@FPLTachanka Well the good news is we can now focus more on issues like Gaza and Israel and the war in Ukraine. And doing what we can to highlight the threat Trump and Putin pose to the world too. The important stuff.

@JohnRentoul @mrianleslie "The triviality and cynicism of the political media" You understand he's talking about you here, right? The solutions we desperately need were on offer. You worked tirelessly to make sure they never had a chance to be enacted. You are the problem.

@Heccles94 Following the dismal Starmer years, the universal unpopularity of PM Streeting causes Labour's vote to implode. The Tories keep trying to immitate Reform but the voters prefer the real thing so this leaves the door to No. 10 wide open for Farage to walk through. Chaos ensues.

@implausibleblog This generous attendance day rate also provides an incentive for all the Lords and Baronesses to live in or near London, further entrenching the north / south divide.

On a side note.. Earlier today I popped into the House of Lords and was sat in the gallery Around 2:19 a person who looked remarkably like Charlotte Owen popped in and sat on the last row of benches Around 2:30 the person who looked remarkably like Charlotte Owen got up and left Of course I could be mistaken, it may have been someone else Whoever it was, the £361 Lords attendance allowance for 11 minutes on a bench sounds like a fab gig

@NicholasTyrone The story shows just how easily government influence can be bought. The scandal isn't the receipt of gifts, it's the meager purchase price of government policy for the rich and powerful. Taylor Swift just got a police escort, but others are getting a free pass to commit genocide.

I really think the Starmer-Taylor Swift thing might the dumbest story the British political media have ever created.

@ZackPolanski The two stories are linked though as it shows how easily government influence can be bought. The scandal isn't strictly the receipt of gifts, it's the low corporate purchase cost of government policy.

Morning news journalists can talk more nonsense about Taylor Swift or they can put to Labour MPs their governments connections to genocide? Which will they choose.

NEW: @openDemocracy Labour suspended some arms to Israel but less than 10%. They also took a £4m donation before the election & declared it after everyone had voted. Now investigative journalists are making the connection between these facts. 👇🏼 opendemocracy.net/en/dark-money-…

@JolyonMaugham This is the government you wanted. You smeared the left so this valid, soulless bunch could get into power. At least own it.

For the last 40 years, Britain has chosen finance over industry, austerity over investment, and the rich over the poor. It's time to change direction.

@dailyXmatter @LazyFPL Yep. Rogers is a superstar in the making. He might not start every game (like McGinn too) now we have so much depth, but he'll get far more G+A when he does. A bargain at £5m.

Don't think FPL drafts get more perfect than this one. This is a "take it home to meet the parents" sort of draft. A "buy a ring on your second date" sort of draft. Pretty sure it's the one.

I honestly find this incomprehensible. If there are female only sports categories, surely some form of testing to ensure people actually are female is essential? That does not impact the ability of people to live as the gender of their choice in everyday life.
Human Rights Watch@hrw

The outpouring of vitriol against Lin Yu-ting and Imane Khelif in the Paris Olympics boxing competition shows the immense harms “sex testing” policies cause. The International Olympic Committee is right to stand against sex testing. trib.al/gvJaKFC

@theiaincameron I'm pleased to see you deleted the post, though if you truly wanted to "engage reasonably" you would apologise for presenting false and inflammatory information and for contributing towards a cruel social media pile on against the woman in question.

I’ve deleted this post because, frankly, the comments it was attracting were too emotionally charged. I love this platform despite its failings. One of them is that people are far too wedded to ideology to engage reasonably. Anyone who knows me knows I’m a reasonable person.

@theiaincameron @iocmedia You are presenting a false binary. Imane was born a woman and she is a woman. It is disgusting to publicly shame her by presenting her as a violent male. You even used "their" instead of "her" to describe her in your tweet. It's just cruel.

@jon_s_maiden @iocmedia Aren’t male and men different descriptors? Male refers specifically to biology, men refers to gender identity. Let me ask you this: is it fair for someone with xy chromosomes to fight someone with xy chromosomes?

@theiaincameron @iocmedia Is it 'fair' to use your platform to falsely and publicly call a woman a man? You wouldn't do that if you genuinely cared about women. You just want to push what is, yes, a bigoted ideology. The treatment of Imane has been disgusting, and you are actively contributing.

@jon_s_maiden @iocmedia Very easy to label people a ‘bigot’, Jon. I’m uninterested in ideology, only fairness. People with xy chromosomes have no business boxing women. It’s dangerous, as seen by the withdrawal of the Italian boxer. How can it be justified?

The Left says of Southport: bunch of racist Far Right idiots. The ordinary ppl of Southport say enough of the lies. Southport is an example of multiculturalism failing. But it doesn’t have to fail. I try here in 10 mins @arc_forum to explain why/how. youtu.be/Mn_OohfGTYk?si
