@Rui__Saldanha No player is playing the snooker behind the black from there mate 😮

Interesting situation this... Foul by Amir Sarkhosh and 6 points and a Free Ball to Liam Pullen, he could play a snooker behind the Black as Free Ball. Instead he puts back Sarkhosh to retake. Probably didn't know the rule at this particular situation. Amir won the frame later.

Incredible clearance given the occasion, his years (15) and three colours not being on their own spots. 👏👏👏

Do you want to tell him, or shall I?

A Trump insider opened a $51,000,000 oil short position — hours before Trump announced a ceasefire with Iran. This guy is now 16 for 16. $170 million in profit. A perfect streak. This is not a talented trader. "We placed the bet." "The ceasefire dropped." "We cashed out." Sixteen times in a row. That is not skill. That is not instinct. That is not research. That is someone who knows what is coming before it comes. Think about what that actually means. A private individual is placing a $51 million bet that oil prices are about to collapse — hours before a sitting president announces a ceasefire that collapses oil prices. Not once. Sixteen times. Zero losses. There are only two explanations and both should terrify you. Either someone inside the White House — or with direct access to it — is leaking ceasefire negotiations to traders before diplomats, before the press, before the American people hear a single word. That is insider trading. That is corruption. That is a federal crime. Or the timing of the announcement itself is being shaped around the trade. Which is worse. This is not a genius investor who reads the news faster than you do. The news hadn't happened yet. He wasn't reading the news. He was getting a phone call. While Americans were watching the ceasefire announcement and feeling relieved — somebody already knew. Somebody had already bet $51 million on it. And somebody was already counting their winnings. You are not watching a free market. You are watching a White House with a side hustle. Via~ Really American

@PressSec We are worse off by every objective metric and Iran is better off as a result of your administration’s actions. This is one of the most humiliating moments in American history. The Strait was never an issue prior to the war. Now Iran is making $2M per ship. What a disaster.

"Calm down. He won't be that bad." "He won't go after political opponents." "He won't try to overturn an election." "He won't start a stupid, costly war." "He won't purge the military." "He won't use nukes." <--- We're currently here.

@RhianReads1 Incredible things in action aren't they

@BigginSimon I've managed to keep my plants alive and my mate grows these so he promised me one last year, I'm gonna need some shelving put up because I want some cactus too

Got my Venus Flytrap today, its so tiny but I hope it will thrive because I get good sun here

@RhianReads1 Doh, wrong spelling is my bad 🤦‍♂️ TACO is simply 'Trump Always Chickens Out' Has form for saying something outrageous that he'll do - and ends up not doing it. Hopefully that's the case here. Will somebody just arrest the president.

@BigginSimon What is TACO? I'm not sure if this is a joke because of how you spelled preying 🤷‍♀️

He's spiralling fast 😬

I JUST WANT TO POINT OUT THAT THE MADURO REGIME IS STILL IN CHARGE OF VENEZUELA... THE IRGC REGIME IS STILL IN CHARGE OF IRAN... AND THE EPSTEIN REGIME IS STILL IN CHARGE OF AMERICA 🤷

@cruciblecrush You just cannot believe what they're allowing to go on can you? Impeach the mother fucker and evoke the 25th amendment

Will we ever see another lunatic western leader as mad as #DonaldTrump ? I doubt there will be anyone to touch him in the next century He’s next level crazy dangerous 😳 Do something #America #RemoveTrumpNow #Trumpiscrazy

Reform UK promised Kent County Council would be a "shop window" for how they'd govern Britain. One year on, residents say nothing has changed, the Elon Musk-inspired DOGE efficiency unit found no significant waste, more than ten councillors have quit or defected, and the council has raised taxes by 3.99%. Is this what a Reform government would actually look like?

@M18Snooker Yeah, reading the frame scores when I got home, It looked disappointing and looked like it wasn't the match that we all wanted .

@BigginSimon Not really, Judd barely turned up, Zhao played... I don't even know how to describe how he played aside from it was more of the afternoon session, he potted some amazing balls, but missed some sitters. Really bizarre match

I missed this evenings tour Championship final. Saw this afternoon's and gutted I was going to miss the conclusion. Looks crap on paper though Worth watching back or not? #snooker

@SnookerLoopy_ Yeah, I have to 'force stop' it before every use. If I don't, it opens up and nothing works

Anyone else had real issues with the 5 app? TV, iPad, phone so many times I’ve had to restart the app or use the website instead

Latest Trump message to Iran: “Open the Fuckin’ Straight you crazy bastards, or you’ll be living in Hell.” This is a waterway the President has said is largely unimportant to the United States. In a war which was won weeks ago.

I hope we have a good full match tomorrow. But on this week's form I can only see Xhao winning. #snooker #tourchampionship

@InTheBalls147 Cheers mate

So I have gone with mostly my heart rather than my head. Come on, Jimmy 😅🤞
