@reformparty_uk @AlisonKing40717 Because the ones you don’t like you don’t let in the room!!

Starmer cherry-picks from a handful of his favourite journalists. Reform UK always takes a question from every reporter in the room.

@BigDaveDrums @SkySportsNews Exactly this. The best ref’s are those promoted due to performances, however much we disagree. The asst ref’s are those promoted due to performances, again. The VAR’s are their mates & as Mike Dean once said he did not want to embarrass his mate by sending him to the screen.

@SkySportsNews The people in charge of officiating before VAR were making so many mistakes. VAR came in and it was controlled by the same people. What change were we expecting? If they were seeing it wrong then, they will see it wrong now. They now just take longer to make the mistake!

"VAR is a poisoned chalice" Dermot Gallagher discusses a survey conducted by the Football Supporters' Association, which found that three-quarters of Premier League fans are against the use of VAR 📺

For those out there who loved to prank call people. Here is one with a twist. I don't know how long I could last on this one. 🤣

@GavinNewsom He’s worried

Why does he keep bringing this up? Only one answer: Donald Trump is definitely dyslexic.

@zarahsultana @UKTogetherAll Maybe both are an issue

The real enemy of the working class travels by private jet, not migrant dinghy. That's why I'm proud to be joining the @UKTogetherAll march *this Saturday* in London ✊🏽 We reject the racism and division of the far right. See you on the streets 🫡 togetheralliance.org.uk

@sussexmarco A more pointless role I can’t quite imagine #StopOrI’llShoutStopAgain

The Speaker of the House of Commons Sir Lindsay Hoyle interrupted Boris Johnson on multiple occasions during Prime Minister’s Questions (PMQs) to demand he answer questions rather than pivoting or asking counter-questions. #PMQs

@jimmaxcricket No surprise at all. He probably already knows his 11 and the order they will bat in so why turn up any earlier?

I am staggered Brendon McCullum is turning up just days before first Test telegraph.co.uk/cricket/2026/0…

I smell bullshit!!

🤲

@Garysonfire Never been a fan of Diego Simeone and his style of football but he’s probably exactly what we need at the moment, not that there’s a cat in hells chance of him working with our d*ckhead SD’s.

We’ve always been at our best when we’ve been a bunch of bastards that antagonise the opposition. This style we’re going for just isn’t us.

Possibly our next PM!!

@smokelessworld @SmokelessWord Isn’t this the guy from the Fast Show?

"The Prime Minister is there because of his backbenchers. And they all think they are the next Prime Minister - and the only thing in their path is you." Boris Johnson on the real mechanics of power in Westminster. Hear more on The @SmokelessWord.

A great day but a nightmare trip back, Chelsea Travel eh!!

Boom

Almost 3 years later and still waiting

THE GREAT ESCAPE was released 61 years ago this week. Featuring a huge all-star cast and one of the most iconic themes in film, the making of story is as extraordinary as the events on which it is based… 1/39

This still makes me smile everytime I watch it!!

@ScottyHayter Went to the cinema tonight instead of going to the match for the first time ever. Disinterested would be an understatement.

I’ll adore Chelsea football club until my dying day, but so much is simply unrecognisable. Even back in the early 90s before the likes of Zola we had a side to be proud of. These days, we are a poor side, coached by a complete wet wipe, run by absolute jokers. Soulless.

Off their long run up!!

There are bigger issues in the game than Chelsea’s huddle around the ball. Howard Webb has bigger issues to address as refs' chief (VAR application, refereeing standards, grappling at corners etc) but he should have a quiet word with Chelsea. It was the opposition’s kick-off. Do your huddle in your own half. Someone at Chelsea should have a word with Liam Rosenior. Consider your reputation. If the huddle is mind games, new-age bonding or designed to wind up the opposition, whatever, it's not very effective. It’s hardly the Haka. Chelsea lost. At home. Rosenior is a promising head coach but the way he defends the huddle is slightly weird and undermines only himself. Rosenior has already shown he’s territorial pre-match, having criticised someone from Arsenal being in Chelsea’s half during the warm-up. A ritual “to respect the ball”? Respect the game first. Respect the opposition. Respect their kick-off. Respect your own fans by winning. Rosenior’s post-match comments were either naïve, cringe-making or diversionary after a defeat. Those of us who want Rosenior to succeed hope he does open his eyes and ears, who perhaps has a managerial mentor he can turn to (Leroy?). Because Rosenior does have some very good ideas, because we’ve seen his promising work at Derby, Hull and Strasbourg, and spoken to him along the way. He's trying to succeed at Chelsea with a club recruitment strategy that has left him without sufficient experience on the field, certainly at centre-back, or elite quality in goal. Rosenior doing well would be good for the standing of home-grown coaches and also good for Chelsea not to have constant managerial churn. But he's yet to convince many Chelsea fans he's worthy of the role. New ritual side-shows don't help. What about rediscovering Chelsea's old ritual of winning? Back to Webb. He should also have a word with his ref Paul Tierney. Be stronger. Tierney looked weak trapped in the middle, a supply teacher surrounded in an unruly playground. Hugged by Cole Palmer, Tierney’s authority was undermined further. Tierney should have spoken to Reece James, Chelsea’s captain and one of the more sensible characters in the game. Tierney should have pointed out it’s Newcastle’s kick-off and tell him to do the huddle further back. There are enough match-balls around the apron of the pitch. Borrow one. Do your ritual - and then focus on getting into the Champions League positions. That will safeguard Rosenior's job, not respecting the ball. #CFC
