@Rovers There’s only one reward fans want. A successful team. For 15 years that’s been beyond the owners.

@RobKenyonReform “They’re” - “trying” to build 400 houses. You’ll “oppose it”
Wow.

@EwenDCameron @MotherwellFC @shebahn @chris_sutton73 That’s as clean a header as you’ll ever see.

@BBCLancsSport @readrovers I could listen to Souey all day. Top, top man. Really nice from him about TP. Exactly what I expected from him.

@jamesallcott It’s easy. Let the referee decide if it was deliberate and get on with the game. Trying to define “deliberate” can’t be done on paper.

[den @Iddonpup]

@BBCMOTD There’s only one thing that matters. It HAS to be intentional. Everything else is a pathetic attempt to define “intentional”. It’s down to the referees judgement. Let him get on with it.

@AndyBayes He’ll wait for offers from any club interested. That’s clear to me. So he should as well. If Rovers want him, which I’m sure they do they must reflect that in their offer. Hope he stays but with Venkys who knows?

@campbellclaret @blueshearer It wasn’t bs Alastair. £5m would make us all secure for life.
Farage is taking the piss, isnt he!

@Peston That’s not turning left, that’s making policies that are good for the majority. You’re obviously of the belief that the few matter most.

🚨 NEW: No 10 has published a letter from ex-Cabinet Secretary Chris Wormald to show Keir Starmer did not mislead Parliament

Wormald said: "The evidence I have reviewed leads me to conclude that appropriate processes were followed in both the appointment and withdrawal"

[Don McGowan @donmcgowan]

Our media fixation with Keir Starmer is becoming a literal drag on the country now.

As I write this, I can already see the replies forming below, accusing me of being a Labour shill etc. but, believe it or not, I am not.

Maybe it's worth setting this out — I have no party affiliation. None. I'm not 'on the right' … but that's as far as it goes.

There are policies and people that I admire across the Lib Dems, Greens and Labour. Conversely, there are policies and people I am vehemently against within each of those parties as well.

There are some decent Conservatives left but fewer and fewer in frontline politics and I can have excellent discussions with those moderate Tories that remain.

Where my line in the sand is drawn though, as I'm sure you're all aware, is the far-right. Reform UK and Restore Britain. I have no common ground with their populism — I see through the propaganda.

This doesn't mean that I think every member of Reform UK is a bad person, far from it, but I cannot rationalise their top-line bravado into credible politics.

So, with all that being said, I think the witch-hunt of Keir Starmer is distracting the public from some far more serious crises.

Since the very day Starmer took office, there has been an onslaught from the media; desperation to try and topple him and his principal team. This played out successfully with Angela Rayner, and they have been vicious and relentless pursuing Rachel Reeves.

I listened to Paul Brand on LBC at the weekend continuously comparing Starmer to Boris Johnson in terms of sleaze.

Have we collectively lost our minds? There is no other Prime Minister in history that compares to Johnson for scandal.

The elephant in the room — Peter Mandelson.

But is it really an elephant still? Clearly, Starmer should never have brought the Prince of Darkness into his team, that was a madness and severe failing of judgement. One for which he has accepted responsibility and apologised on multiple occasions.

The vetting process appears to be, pretty much, a non-story, despite what Dan Hodges and GB News are shovelling out.

So … we should be moving on. Shouldn't we?

Kemi Badenoch and her famously robust judgement felt not yesterday, and spent more of her diminishing political currency by pushing Starmer with six questions at PMQs on the subject. She was met with a well briefed lawyer, that, in all honesty, made her look a bit silly for continuing her defeated line of questioning.

While this continues to dominate the headlines, other far more crucial issues are being missed — we're going to run low on fuel soon, the cost of living is about to skyrocket, holidays will be cancelled imminently.

But mainly ... the cost of living is about to skyrocket.

We saw in yesterday's inflation rise that food is already moving upward, if Trump's ludicrous war in Iran continues, then we're all going to suffer the consequences.

Surely, this is a far more pressing matter? One in which the government should be fully engaged in order to help protect the public — it's number one duty.

It is very telling that Reform UK are spending very little time on the Starmer issue. They sent Lee Anderson out to raise this issue, for goodness’ sake. LEE ANDERSON.

Farage is hyper focused on the local elections, safe in the knowledge that the media is obsessing over Keir Starmer, once again. He's making hay while the S*n shines on Labour.

Jeez! This went on a bit, sorry, but it feels critical to me. We are being led around by the nose by the legacy media outlets. They smell blood in the water, but I really don't think the story is there. Not yet.

And while the sharks circle, Reform UK are flying under the radar, ready to swoop on the local elections [sorry for the weird mixed metaphors — it's early!].

Have a lovely sunny day. 🌞

@zarahsultana You have no evidence whatsoever that he lied.
You’re a disgrace.

[den @Iddonpup]

@zarahsultana There was no evidence of lieing. If there was you would have given it.

[Nigel Farage MP @Nigel_Farage]

Trump has proved once again that he is an instinctive peacemaker, not a warmonger like many of his predecessors.

@campbellclaret @TheAeronut Their silence speaks a thousand volumes Alistair. He knows he’s on his own and it’s creasing him.
