Caught the end of the match. The gunners looked to be one dimensional and out of ideas.

[Arsenal Women @ArsenalWFC]

A tough result to take. Onto the next one.

[Clive Butchins (happily retired) @Clive4IT]

@ArsenalWFC back in about 2016 when I was mayor and met Kim and others at the open day event in meadow park the match was cancelled, but I was promised an invitation to one in the future. Has the future arrived yet?

Is there anyone in Elstree & Borehamwood who would consider hosting a very nice Ukranian refugee and her seven year old son?

What's a Mendip and how does one farm it?

[Ivor Baddiel @Ivorbaddiel]

I think Jacob has just added Mendip Farmers’ Hunt to the rhyming slang lexicon.

As long as the UK subscribes to the Good Friday agreement we will never be free of the EU. Which is the key problem of Brexit.

[Gavin Barwell @GavinBarwell]

Editor's note: throughout her period as leader of the Conservative Party, Margaret Thatcher supported UK membership of the EEC. She played a pivotal role in the creation of the single market, and strongly criticised Labour's plans for Brexit in 1983

The cruelty of Muslems to other Muslems never ceases to amaze me.

@MayorofLondon The scrappage scheme does not apply to those bordering the extended area so will cost jobs and livelihood for those that can least afford it.

I don't know, but it is a good way to lose support for Israel from the Jewish diaspora.

[Jonathan Freedland @Freedland]

Netanyahu’s war on the judiciary is escalating. How will the US - and US Jews - relate to an Israel led by the far right? For this week’s Unholy, @LeviYonit and I talk with the veteran @nytimes columnist and Middle East watcher @tomfriedman https://t.co/dflqWJAz8N

So our leaders - and probably most Western Democratic Nations, were preoccupied with other issues that seemed more important at the time, so took their eyes off the ball. Russian issues didn't win votes.

First top team I ever saw, featured Haynes. ?Boxing day 1963 I think v. Ipswich, so always had a soft spot for the Cottagers.

I feel like all today’s Premier League games should start with a ‘Previously on…’ recap.
Anyway, it’s the biggest game of the season for @richardosman and me, so may the best team win*

No. That's the misconception of the Unions. I don't even hear Parliamentary Labour supporting that view to their credit.

[Daniel Susskind @danielsusskind]

Much of what is happening in Britain at the moment is a consequence of our collective failure to reckon with the fact we are simply not as prosperous as we think / as other countries. They are fights and frustrations over the fact our economic pie is far smaller than we imagine.
