None but ourselves can free our minds

[Matt Capon @MattLCapon]

One of my best friends at school was murdered after being struck repeatedly on the back of the head with a hammer.

I sat in court and listened to the details of his death. I will never forget hearing his mum sob as she learned what her son’s final words had been.

His murderer was sentenced to life in prison for the life he took.

I cannot begin to imagine what it would have felt like if that trial had collapsed because someone prejudiced the case and destroyed any chance of a conviction, simply for the sake of meagre political point-scoring.

I'll never agree with the politics of Ann Widdecombe, but she deserves justice. And that's something you and your party seem hell bent on preventing at all costs.

NEW: Am told Keir Starmer wrote handwritten notes for every single member of No 10 staff - in the hundreds - thanking them for their public service

Micah Richards completing that broadcast is incredible in the circumstances. I’m pretty sure I couldn’t have done the same in his shoes. RIP to his Dad. 😔

Hope people don’t forget this Jude Bellingham tournament. One of the greatest displays by an English player in World Cup history. His interview post Semi-final speaks volumes too. We may not have got it done, but we can be proud of this group. Jude as skipper for the next WC 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

[Daniel Sturridge @DanielSturridge]

Say what you want, but since 2018 this is statistically the greatest generation we’ve produced since ’66.

Two finals. Two semi-finals. One quarter-final. Five major tournaments.

No trophy yet, but they’ve made us believe again. I’m proud of them, and their time will come.

This will go down as one of the worst, if not the worst opinion in the history of opinions

We really laughed at Birmingham City for retiring his number…

[CounterPressers @CounterPressers]

That is one of the greatest England performances ever from Jude Bellingham.

One man ALWAYS steps up in crunch time. Forget the two goals he scored, did you see the pressing in the 110th minute of regular time leading the line with his side down to 10. People will talk about Jude vs Mexico at the Azteca in 2026 for the rest of time.

A warrior, a leader of men.

[Jack Pitt-Brooke @JackPittBrooke]

Are England perfect? No. We could poke holes in them all night. But they have two world class attacking players who can score against anyone. They have unity, commitment and spirit. They can defend in a 5-3-1 for 45+ minutes if they have to. And they can win in the Azteca.

[James Ducker @TelegraphDucker]

One of the greatest ever performances by a player in an #England shirt that from Jude Bellingham. Quality, timing, reading, understanding, leadership, will, effort etc ‘aside’, the fitness in those circumstances is off the scale.

And one of its best goalkeeping displays too from Jordan Pickford.

Loads of big performances but those two immense

[Simon Phillips @siphillipssport]

Thomas Tuchel might have a questionable talent ID, but when he does what he's best at, there aren't many better motivators and knockout football experts out there. It's a different kind of England team this, but one that never gives up and knows how to fight. Tuchel effect.

Cape Verde went to war with Spain, Uruguay and Argentina in their first World Cup. We will make sure history remembers this run

[FC Bayern München @FCBayern]

Best 9 in the world. RT if you agree.

Because maybe, you’re going to be the one that saves me.
