I have never been a fan of Keir Starmer as Prime Minister. Top politicians need to realise it’s not just the message, but how you sell it that cuts through to the public psyche. His policies may well have been among the best for the country and some undoubtedly were but Sir Keir never seemed able to land them with the public. Voters rarely reward policies they don’t emotionally connect with. Yesterday’s reset speech didn’t help. What exactly was he trying to tell us. Now, in what could be the death throes of his tenancy in No 10 after less than two years at the top, I do find myself feeling for him. He pulled himself up by his bootstraps and reached not one but two of the highest offices in the land. So, as the wannabes circle the Cabinet table this morning, positioning for what may come next, spare a thought for a man who genuinely wanted to make a difference, but never quite mastered the art of making his case. Fair?

@TheAthleticFC My suggested solution is to stop fucking about tweaking the rules for no good reason. Penalty corners? Get fucked off.

Forget the ceaseless debate about VAR for a moment. The Premier League has a deeper problem to solve. 𝗖𝗼𝗿𝗻𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗯𝗿𝗼𝗸𝗲𝗻. Three stats sum up the state of play. Even with two full matchweeks of it left, this Premier League season ranks highest since 2018-19 for: ▪️ Inswinging corners (2,503) ▪️ Goals from corners (174) ▪️ Fouls on goalkeepers (146) Former Premier League referee Graham Scott (@Refsplaining) explains to @LiamTharmeCoach how it's 'impossible' to judge all the fouls and suggests radical ways to fix it. One suggested solution of his is to take inspiration from penalty corners in field hockey 🏑 bit.ly/4uHw7X3

@paceyhitman Look at my X location. And secondly, it is cold and wet. I live on the coast in Felixstowe. Where are you? The Isle of Wight? That's always sunny I was told.

My fellow British people are disowning me because I said pay check instead of "pay cheque." Lol. Oof. I guess I can go somewhere nice and warm for once. Florida maybe? So tired of this wet miserable island.

@Asa97875363 'Pay cheque' is just as bad. Nobody says that. Nobody gets paid by cheque. Yank

Seeing a lot of people dunk on this but inhabited bridges are insanely cool and they still exist (I’ve seen Ponte Vecchio in Florence). They are also totally infeasible with car traffic, so all the remaining ones are pedestrian bridges. So, yes, huge downgrade. Because of cars.
Historic Hub@HistoricHub

This is one of the worst downgrades of all time Old London Bridge was a medieval stone structure that stood for over 600 years and was once considered a wonder of the world. It was 926 feet long and filled with houses and shops, making it the longest inhabited bridge in Europe

@Clarkey_No1 Goalie should be allowed anywhere in the 6 yard box, imo. These takers have got away with it too long

Tactical time-outs an increasing problem in football. A few PL clubs do it. Even England have done it. Caoimhin Kelleher may have genuinely been injured - he was able to play on - but Leeds United’s frustration at the disruption was understandable. They were building, had brought on subs and then the game paused. Daniel Farke already raised concerns earlier this season. Gianluigi Donnarumma went down and Manchester City players went to touchline for instructions. Farke asked the fourth official if he was going to do something. Officials’ hands are tied at the moment. Teams getting round rule for outfield players to go off for 30 seconds after treatment. Now goalkeepers used for tactical timeouts. IFAB has discussed a nominated outfield player going off for 30 seconds if a keeper has treatment. But concern that a keeper could genuinely have been injured. Possible solution is for players to be stopped from going to the touchline during stoppages or ordered to stay in the centre circle.  Be interesting to see whether World Cup refs clamp down. It’s seeking an advantage by breaking up opposition’s flow, by giving the manager an opportunity for instructions and also it’s time-wasting - and there’s enough of that spoiling games.

@KieranMaguire Never seen people have to remove vapes or lighters in searches… they could equally be used as an item to cause harm if thrown… just a thought, and wonder if they’ll end up Like power banks

Appreciate this ban affects all fans but Brighton fans have been advised that coins and phone power banks are banned from the Stadium of Light and there will be ‘enhanced searching’. “Any coins discovered during searches will be placed into sealed collection buckets. These will be donated to Brighton and Hove Albion Foundation” Twelve hours of travel plus the match itself on a single charge is pushing it. As for coins, I’ve never assaulted anyone with a 20 pence coin before, but is that how football fans are seen these days?

@patriotismbrit How did you even physically type that?😵 I just shared the link to a Reform UK tweet, thus providing as much context as Reform themselves did. And you're blaming me for a lack of context? So I'd assume with your level of intelligence, you'd have eaten your own fingers by now.

Why is this gormless cunt on Sky News pontificating on geopolitics? Most hilariously terrible Chancellor of all time, and he only got the job cos he was banging Liz Truss.
