So England draw following a penalty scored by a team that should have been (but weren’t) down to 9. #ENGvURU
With all the subjective calls VAR does get involved with, why on Earth do the not get on the blower to say: ‘Ref, you’ve given that guy two yellows’. #ENGvURU

@mrjamesob.bsky.social I always felt that Trumps line about shooting someone in Times Sq. was borderline plagiarism anyway, see: www.youtube.com/watch?v=QOSx...
@nature (specifically the briefing) Stop encouraging the acronyms!! Those shared are at best Backronyms (created to fit the word) and at worst WOMBATs (Waste of Money Brains and Time).
@mrjamesob.bsky.social Radio phone in host?
I hate even suggesting this @mrjamesob.bsky.social James but the Overton window now apparently includes blatant, outright racism.
New Reform slogan should be: Let's give all the worst Tories another go?

@tomswarbrick.bsky.social If we have to improve the screening for PIP, how much does that cost? If tougher rules (rather than improved screening). How many people who actually do need PIP are we prepared to exclude on the basis of catching a few who are swinging the lead?

If it takes an act of parliament to remove Michelle Mone from the House of Lords then let's get on that. The government has a massive majority. Who's voting against removing (in the beautifully appropriate words of Dr Rachel Clarke) the "utterly avaricious greedy scumbag" #PPEScandal #MoneOut

Is the #postoffice sponsoring #ITVdrama to change the narrative? Like BoJo talking about model buses? I do hope compensation money for subpostmasters hasn’t been spent on sponsorship.
I feel like we missed a trick by not using an Uncle Sam/Lord Kitchener (who is the chemistry equivalent?!) image for this....but either way, read this...it's important. Here's a free-to-read link in case you don't have access rdcu.be/eDGTW
