Four years ago today, we lost Frankie Wilson. Our lives were so much richer for having known you Frankie, and are so much emptier without you. Time passes, but the memories, laughter and friendship never fade. Still missed, still remembered my friend. ❤️
After that incredible #Tottenham performance yesterday, I was so proud to hear this beautiful story about what Kinsky said to Penders after the game.
“I went straight to him because, honestly, I felt for him. I know how difficult that moment must have been. You make your first Premier League start, you want to show everyone what you can do, and suddenly one mistake becomes the moment everybody remembers. I told him, ‘Look at me. Keep your head up. You are still the same goalkeeper you were before that corner. One moment does not define you. People sometimes forget how lonely it can feel to be a goalkeeper. An attacker misses three chances, and people talk about the chances he might score next week. A goalkeeper makes one mistake, and suddenly people question his entire career. That isn’t fair. I told him the next time you make a great save, remember that the people laughing today might be the first ones praising you tomorrow. We won 2–0, and of course I’m happy. But I’m also a goalkeeper, and I understand what that moment can do to your mind. I hope he has people around him reminding him that he’s more than one mistake”
What remarkable kindness, compassion and wisdom from a young man who has faced so many challenges already in his career.
Very proud to have him as Spurs number 1.

I can’t wrap my head around an economy where nursing homes cost enough to bankrupt families, yet the aides caring for our grandparents still rely on food banks. Or where daycare can consume an entire parent’s paycheck, while the people providing that care still can’t earn
@marcus_buckland Big shout out to Kinsky aswell. He's certainly not flawless, but we don't play that football without him. SKY shitting on him as per usual at times. Such a fan #COYS
The brilliant Premier Injuries website tries to detail as accurately as possible all players unavailable at Premier League clubs.
Notoriously PL clubs in Europe struggle but hard not to look at this and reach conclusion injury problems at #THFC remain off the scale right now…
Forget the euphoria of Britain's change of policy on settlements. Palestinians, totally abandoned by the international community, are being ethnically cleansed in occupied east Jerusalem. I report for Middle East Eye on house demolitions in Al Bustan:

This is absolutely insane.
The UK seems to have been involved in the kidnapping of Maduro - and the story spiked by an MOD D-Notice.
The kidnapping was the most brazen act of criminality, and UK involvement would almost certainly have been given with Starmer's sign-off. A wretched, wreck of a PM. An unforgivable assault on international law.
