It got pretty intense on @JeremyVineOn5 as @theJeremyVine, @lara_e_brown and I discussed the political response to the brutal murder of #HenryNowak. Have the police over-corrected because they fear being called racist, or are #Farage & co using a tried and tested playbook?
"There are plenty of opportunists out to make capital out of this."
@bonsuman says history is repeating itself as Nigel Farage and Tommy Robinson seek to use the Henry Nowak case to tell white people that equity is a loss for them.

Sounds like things haven't changed much since #Lithuanian football "fans" tried to hound @BigBadAdebayo out of their country. @LithuaniaMFA, where do you stand on this shameful story?

A Black woman is facing possible jail time in Lithuania after a ski resort refund dispute escalated into a criminal hate speech case over comments about “white woman’s tears”.
Lithuanian authorities accuse her of “mocking” white people.
Delighted to be moderating the inaugural @profgusjohn lecture at @dmuleicester, which addresses key questions on race, power and collective action, in an age of nativism, populism and denial.

"The £5m gift to Farage is likely to raise fresh questions for the Reform leader, given what he said in the run-up to the last election". If this stuff is emerging 3 years from the next General Election, imagine what may come out as we get closer. #Farage

The day after more Brits run the @LondonMarathon than ever before, today we learn from @BBCNews that
"UK healthy life expectancy falls by two years in past decade". We really are a divided nation in more ways than you think. #healthy#longevity

"Afrikaners were at the heart of the apartheid system of white minority rule from 1948-1994, leading to decades of hostility between them and South Africa's Black majority. Wow, @PBS, this is one of the most benign takes on the hell of Afrikaner apartheid.

@YardleyShooting@JonBenjamin19 Indeed, Mike, but that headline figure of 50% is misleading as it includes both ads where, say one out of ten characters are black, and those where half the characters are black.
Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin are about to meet in Alaska, and Times Radio will be bringing you up to the minute analysis and expert commentary throughout the evening with @darrylmorris and @bonsuman.

@_PaulHayward True, Paul, but surely (at least) in the latter stages of the Ladies grand slams, they've got to play best of 5 sets. Best of three gives a player no time to recover - hence the disaster we just witnessed.
@slyowusu@Wimbledon That's the point #Djokovic used to make until he was battered into submission. Best of 3 gives little time for a player who's had a bad start to fight back. This is the biggest stage, and matches like this are a terrible advert for the game.
This @Wimbledon ladies singles final is a disaster. #Anisimova is crushed by the weight of the occasion. This could be over within an hour... Another reason to have the women play best of 5 in the grand slams - at least in the semis and the final. Sad.
Another day, another s**show at @NetworkRailEUS. As ever, no explanation, no direction, and everyone is bewildered. For one of our key transport hubs to be so lacking resilience, 20 years after #7/7, the mind boggles...
We know that the @ukhomeoffice can be a heartless organisation, but keeping a £3K health surcharge from a man whose wife died before coming to the UK is surely next level. https://t.co/Mzxhwo9QhC
@DrNeilStone So it’s now very confusing. On the one hand i have an infectious disease doctor telling me one thing while on the other hand i have a podcaster, Hollywood actor and environmental lawyer telling me something completely different. It’s very difficult to decide.
