@WG_RumblePants wouldn’t call this middlesex team high quality, precisely the exact opposite. The rivalry would be better if they had a half-decent team!

The Blast feels like such a genuine product. Is it always of the highest quality? I’d be lying if I said it was, but it’s not always wholly about that, is it? County rivalries in the Blast still feel like they mean something. It’s proper English and Welsh cricket, warts and all and it’s really rather special.

@t20tracker they should just leave the hundred, nobody wants them in it.

MSG deleted that AI slop kit reveal video from Twitter 😭😭 had more QTs than likes 🤣 Twitter really is the most brutal platform

@fcmad1960 @saintlymark @JacobWSmith10 it’s literally half term this week 😂

@saintlymark @JacobWSmith10 Because The Hundred now occupies the peak, school hols weeks of the season, when the (superior) Blast used to be played; and also because The Hundred ticket prices are subsidised and the Blast's are not. Can't explain it any more plainly, sorry!

Commentators blaming everything other than the real reason for the poor crowd at Lords. The hundred is the Manchester supergiants mascot in the room.

@ToryWipeout @MatthewTorbitt @AndyBurnhamGM didn’t know the wider economy was growing at 3.1% that’s news to me?!

@MatthewTorbitt @AndyBurnhamGM So nothing different to the current government

Lots of conjecture about what @AndyBurnhamGM may do or not. But he’s already laid out a blueprint in Manchester for the country. 3.1% growth Housing First to tackle homelessness Technical education parity with university Increased housing Tackling the skills shortage

I am not a huge Burnham fan, but the criticism that he held different views 15+ years ago and therefore cannot be trusted is a bit strange coming from Green Party members, considering Zack Polanski was a pro-austerity Lib Dem Zionist 15 years ago.

I can confirm that I will be requesting the permission of the NEC to stand in the Makerfield by-election. I grew up in this area and have lived here for 25 years. I care deeply about it and its people. I know they have been let down by national politics. Ten years ago, I decided to leave Westminster. Why? Because, after 16 years, I came to the conclusion that our national political system does not work for areas like ours. I learnt this fighting its failure to invest in the Wigan borough, for justice for the Hillsborough families and against its treatment of Greater Manchester during the pandemic. Over the last decade, I have been challenging this failure from the outside and building a new and better way of doing politics. We have built Greater Manchester into the fastest-growing city-region in the UK and put buses back under public control, introducing a £2 fare cap to help people with cost-of-living pressures. However, there is only so much that can be done from Greater Manchester. Much bigger change is needed at a national level if everyday life is to be made more affordable again. This is why I now seek people’s support to return to Parliament: to bring the change we have brought to Greater Manchester to the whole of the UK and make politics work properly for people. Millions are struggling and they need the Labour Government to succeed. It has already made changes to make life better for them in its first two years. After this week, we owe it to people to come back together as a Labour movement, giving the Prime Minister and the Government the space and stability they need as the by-election takes place. I want to recognise the difficult decision taken by Josh Simons and the sacrifice he and his family are making. I have worked closely with him as Mayor on issues like flooding and illegal waste dumping and have seen first-hand how effective he has been. He has put the communities of Makerfield first, made a real difference for them and should take great pride in that. Finally, I truly do not take a single vote for granted and will work hard to regain the trust of people in the Makerfield constituency, many of whom have long supported our party but lost faith in recent times. We will change Labour for the better and make it a party you can believe in again. ENDS

bro just discovered democracy

🚨GREEN CANDIDATE: Mohammad Suleman. Newcastle Greens Arthurs Hill candidate is a director of Fenham Properties Ltd.. convicted for environmental vandalism. In Dec 2024 his firm burned waste in a skip at Grade II listed Pendower Hall to “cut costs”. Council prosecuted: illegal waste disposal + operating without environmental permit. Suleman admitted the offences. Company fined £8,500+ in June 2025. Still their candidate for May 2026. The Green Party … self-proclaimed champions of the environment … happily fielding a candidate whose company was guilty of illegal burning and pollution. Peak hypocrisy from the environmentalists.

@Joe212455328289 @ACDAFC @fredp2003 whether the rich would leave or is not is irrelevant, tax revenue would fall given that the top 1% contribute the most, public services would suffer as a result and borrowing would continue to rise to fund it, leaving the UK without enough wealth to pay back any debt.

@ACDAFC @fredp2003 How is lowering the wage gap pure waffle, what so people get paid more the rich earn less this sounds like a perfect system

Socialists are incapable of thinking through the second order consequences of their policies.

“Far right Christian fundamentalists” Says the Marxist with a keffiyeh round her neck. Don’t let anyone tell you this whole thing isn’t a spiritual war. It’s anti white, anti Christian, anti God, anti nation state, anti family, anti freedom and anti law and order. It’s pro censorship, pro islam, pro authoritarian. Pro mutiliating children. Pro aborting babies. Pro Net Zero, anti-human. Pro destruction, pro chaos. All disguised as “fighting fascism” Demonic.

@Jeetv27 agreed, i think as well NKR opening the howling is ridiculous

@BTalksltn Yeah, early days. I want to see how it things shape up for this pace attack at the halfway mark of the tournament.

Jaydev Unadkat Brydon Carse David Payne/Jack Edwards Eshan Malinga Harshal Patel Nitish Kumar Reddy Uncapped ones are average too. Incredibly poor pace attack assembled. Shivam Mavi may not sound like a great choice, but I'd back him over any of the pacers mentioned above.

@Jeetv27 makes them look even less effective if they are all bowling in wrong phases

@Jeetv27 payne is a great bowler and should have been used more effectively. the overall bowling attack isn’t great but the way they have been used is awful, especially in the powerplay

@t20tracker i don’t understand why is it that the PSL teams can trade players after an auction?

🔁 | PSL 2026 – Trade Alert Islamabad United have indicated that they are involved in a trade, while the owner of Multan Sultans recently confirmed that the team is processing a couple of trades What might the deal involve? 👀 #PSL2026

@t20tracker josh hull, granam clark and farhan ahmed should all be bankers to be picked as well.

Genuinely surprised that Luke Wells and Toby Albert went unpicked. Albert is highly rated in the English circuit, while Wells is a versatile squad player who can slot anywhere in the top six & bowls quick wristspin, providing valuable flexibility.

@pantiyerfc what’s your thoughts on it?

The most interesting part of Sunrisers Leeds buying Abrar Ahmed is the Indian owners,Sun group have 100% equity stake in the franchise,unlike the other franchises(except Southern Brave) where the private owners equity is 49%. #TheHundredAuction

@ManchesterSGs genuinely think that is a ridiculously good squad, bowling is superb, muyeye for me is a ridiculously good bargain buy and getting paul walter back helps the balance of the team. I think they’ve played a blinder

It is rare in an auction that the first three players that you really want to see land all head in your direction, but the signings of Markram, Tongue and Baler were exactly what we were hoping for. After that the squad filled up nicely and we are satisfied with a job well done.

@umardott @22ReasonsWhy__ that’s london spirit 🤣 the whole backroom staff is RCB

They made Perry and her "lookalike" captains.

Sir Keir Starmer could pay for 15 new warships or quadruple the size of the British Army by halting this year’s £18bn rise in welfare spending, analysis has shown. Read more here: telegraph.co.uk/news/2026/03/0…

The same woman who built her career claiming to be a voice for Muslim women is cheerleading a regime that has silenced, tortured, and slaughtered Muslim women for half a century. Just another lapdog for Islamic oppression.
