Richard Mayers

@GregMulholland1 I don't disagree. But I think it's largely communication issue. Noone is going to make a tangible difference to people's lives in <2 years. More and more people seem to want a populist leader who's going to tell them there's rainbows and piles of gold just around the next corner.

@rickmayers That’s an interesting question and no doubt there will be different views within the Labour Party and outside on that. Regardless though, Keir Starmer’s position is completely untenable. He’s lost all confidence of country & now party.

Keir Starmer only has two credible choices. Announce he will resign (with or without timetable). Or announce that he accepts there’ll be a leadership challenge & that he will stand to win. Continuing the nonsense of trying to carry on (‘fight on’) is untenable as well as absurd.

@dxrrp2 Should be a yellow to the Wolves player for simulating a head injury. Yellow for the push.

How on earth is that not a red??? disgusting from Gabriel Jesus 🤮 #wwfc

@CyclingForMind @itsbigjobber People turning left are likely to be able to move off the roundabout as quickly as those going straight on, so not making more congestion just putting it in the wrong place

@itsbigjobber Okay, but they are leaving the lane clear for traffic going straight at the roundabout and are not causing further congestion by using the one lane.

Merge in turn at the Hexham merge where the congestion in lane 1 is hanging out on to the first lane of the national speed limit dual carriageway creating a dangerous situation where the traffic proceeding on the relatively empty dual carriageway is encountering slow / stationary traffic incorrectly queuing in one lane instead of two to enter Hexham at rush hour! #merginglanes #mergeinturn #zippermerge #zipmerging #dashcam #driving #bigjobber

@AcutePete @acutemedicine @DanLasserson @_HospitalatHome @CatrionaWaitt @At_The_EQUATOR @IDIMakerere Ah would have been interested to chat Uganda. Spotted the poster, good to have an international flavour!

Enjoying being @acutemedicine conference. Highlights from day 1 for me were hearing @DanLasserson talking about @_HospitalatHome and also sessions on #SeriousIllnessConversations excellent to hear real life examples of impact.

This is exactly what happens when sports organisations get into bed with dictatorships. As many of us commented at the time, the UCI should never have chosen Rwanda as a venue for the World Cycling Championships. belganewsagency.eu/belgian-journa…

Wealth and power intrinsically linked. Yet we are being told 30,000 migrants are the problem with this country.

@gordonmck Those Kanelbullar look very authentic, and delicious

For #CAMW we launched a new wellbeing initiative called Fika Thursday. Its based on a Swedish concept of coffee and cake helping people connect, and a short pause at 11am let us go back to the ward round feeling energised.

'You will let me finish, and then you can curse me all your life' After speaking out from the podium at the Royal Albert Hall, #Israeli maestro, Ilan Volkov, says he will no longer perform in his home country in protest against the war in #Gaza

If someone with a medical complication is not starving and you cut off all food for several months so then they're starving the medical complication is not the relevant variable. This is not complex to grasp intellectually or morally.

Baseball commentators would have their minds blown by cricket. No gloves either!

@boblister_poole Investigated for what?

BBC pulls Thought for the Day after guest brands Jenrick ‘xenophobic’ Refugee charity founder Krish Kandiah said shadow justice secretary had fuelled ‘fear of the stranger’? I Think Krish Kandiah’s Charity Showed Receive Zero Funding & Be Investigated! telegraph.co.uk/news/2025/08/1…

@RalphBlackburn Yet no delay in announcing support for Heathrow 3rd runway of course @henrimurison

Exclusive: The Government's summer Northern Powerhouse Rail announcement has been delayed, with the big unveiling now expected at Labour conference in Liverpool. Heidi Alexander told me: "We’re working through some detail following the Spending Review." yorkshirepost.co.uk/news/transport…

Approving Heathrow’s third runway further exposes this soulless, corporate-owned-Labour government. Equality, community, nature, our children’s - & all of our - futures, willfully decimated to grow the wealth of millionaire & billionaire shareholders. standard.co.uk/comment/heathr…

@SaferRoadsYorks Also insufficient gap with the car in front

The van driver who asked for his day in court. "You can't prove a careless close on a cyclist" "The Highway Code rules on this is only guidance, not law" "I'd challenge it in court and win" Maybe he took some legal advice from X and tried to defend it in a number of ways.

Starting the day with Bluey Cricket episode on CBeebies. The greatest 7 minutes of TV produced. #bbccricket

@cheseabourne Match fit?!

Tonight @Channel4 at 10pm: Gaza: Doctors Under Attack.

"I’m struggling to think of any other recent event in the UK where a mob has called for the death of human beings."

Good news - @Channel4 will air this important film by @Basement_Films about medics under fire in #Gaza. The one the BBC refused to show. Watch at Weds 10pm.
