It’s better to walk alone than with a crowd going in the wrong direction 🇬🇧

The minute this touches earth, all gold already here and in this asteroid becomes worthless.

[Night Sky Today @NightSkyToday]

🚨: Asteroid Psyche 16 has been found to contain gold reserves worth $700 quintillion.

That's enough to make everyone on Earth billionaires.

Shocked. Shocked I tell you!

Steve Gibsons legacy. Sue!

Whilst I appreciate this may have happened anyway, it’s naive to think this isn’t a consequence of Gibsons greed and opportunism

[DPS @TortosaExpat]

Everton were ordered to pay Burnley £35m for breaking the financial rules and Burnley being relegated that season. There is now a legal precedent set.

If you apply that to Man City in the Premier League from 09/10 to 17/18:

Missed out on Champions League
Sours x 4
Everton..

Andrew Neil’s Brexit reality check on BBC Question Time.

In a nutshell:

Rejoiners are ignoring the huge political wind of change sweeping Europe and the UK v Germany/ France/ Italy growth rates make a nonsense of their Mickey Mouse economic arguments too.

I’m not bothered by ministers not knowing every detail of other departments’ policies. But your own? That’s the bare minimum. Otherwise, you look utterly incompetent.

[Kevin Edger @KEdge23]

The Secretary of State for Defence doesn’t know his own figures.

Total car crash interview for Labour’s Wes Streeting. This is the man in charge of our defence.

Labour are putting this country at risk.

[Darren Pickering @dazza_pickering]

He’s admitted the book contains lies about @piersmorgan, & Lorraine managed 1 question about it.

Is it any wonder why Earl Spencer chose Lorraine for the interview! She’s unable asks difficult questions, she’s a platform that lets people promote whatever they’ve turned up with

She travelled to Cardiff to attend a meeting she cannot attend! 😂 🤡

Performative bullshit, as expected

[Michelle O’Neill @moneillsf]

On my way to Cardiff for a historic meeting of Sinn Féin, the SNP and Plaid Cymru.

For the first time ever, there are three nationalist and pro-independence First Ministers, here in the North, in Scotland and in Wales.

This is a time of enormous change and opportunity.

[Darren Pickering @dazza_pickering]

100000% agree with this

It could have been 113 minutes and we still wouldn’t have scored

[Derby County @dcfcofficial]

There will be THIRTEEN minutes of added time. ⏱️

COME ON, DERBY! 🙏

Tax. Overnight visitor tax! Fixed it for you!

[Dan Tomlinson MP @dantomlinsonmp]

Big day today - we're confirming plans for an Overnight Visitor Levy.

This is the right policy to help raise funds to support regional leaders to invest in growth and the visitor economy in their region.

Some Mayors will use it and do great things with the power. Others will decide not to use it. The opportunity for different decisions is good. We will see how different places fare over time with different choices.

And whether or not to use it will be a source of debate at the next Mayoral elections - also good.

Over to you now Sadiq, Bev, Tracy, Helen Steve, Kim, Oliver, Richard, David, Claire, Paul, Ben, Luke and Andrea!

[Darren Pickering @dazza_pickering]

We don’t need another tax. We need the current high levels of tax to be spent better!

[Mayor of the East Midlands, Claire Ward @MayorEastMids]

The East Midlands is an incredible place to visit, and people travel from miles away to enjoy the world-class sport and culture, beautiful countryside, thriving cities, market towns and historic places.

But none of these things... (1/2)

[Darren Pickering @dazza_pickering]

Also, there were not 27k in that stadium last night. Massive gaps all across North East and North stand

‘We had a good spell in the first half’

No we didn’t. We got what we deserved. Admit it!

We want to progress. We’ve just played a team that was relegated. A team we should prove we can compete with

We’re told we’ve “signed 10 players”have 2 players for every position & are capable of competing.

We can’t compete. #dcfc

All the fans moaning about all the fans moaning. Irony at its best. #dcfc #dcfcfans

@AndyMargett Well said mate!!

[Darren Pickering @dazza_pickering]

@gempopmoo 100% agree, but there are two ways he can go. Sacked or take responsibility and resign
