@gmc_63 @YTJourno I thought he was taking them to the Premier League?

This is so sad. Wonderful musician and humorous man.

@huwzat @TheCricketerMag You always were a wise man

The disaster of Brexit

@RealBristolBoy @kevinhollinrake @EvanHD @BBCPM and "the vast majority" of the population is not grieving over the death of the Queen.

@RealBristolBoy Scott has to play. Our best midfielder.

A good man. Not all politicians are the same

Chris Bryant is not only a credit to Labour, but British politics. In a government brimming with con men he holds up a mirror. It’s his integrity that enrages them.

The Ukrainian counteroffensive has been slowed down by a stubborn hedgehog.

@TomHardcastle @TheExiledRobin It doesn't.

@RamsgateMH Great show last night with @elizacarthy and her dear Dad Martin. Such a feel for live music.

@TheExiledRobin Sensitive times, and a certain amount of protocol (lying in state, foreign dignitaries flying in etc) plus big crowds mainly in London are tempting targets for mischief makers, protestor, even terrorism.

@CricketMirror Of course you are right, Deano. I'm old-school enough to feel it shows a lack of belief in your batters and gives the oppo the chance to boss the match. Recent stats are distorted by the general poor quality of Test batting.

The fracking ban will be scrapped on Thursday, as per @benrileysmith, with planning requests for new drilling expected within weeks. Yet this is what new chancellor Kwasi Kwarteng wrote on March 6 👇🏼

[Colin Bateman @ColinExpress]

@RealBristolBoy Everyone seems scared to ask Pearson obvious questions, even if it is simply an update on injury situations. Very odd having only one defender on the bench

@gmc_63 Another swamp that needs draining, and another reason we need proportional representation at elections.
