Issuing this thread again on Father’s Day…

[George Cazenove @KingofSW6]

So about *The Queue*….my father was in the queue yesterday. He’s a 75-year former Coldstream Guards and Parachute Regiment officer but spent most of his career in the City.

@DPJHodges Don’t really disagree but I don’t feel
the need to regulate the behavior of players post a good win and between matches especially when they’re playing at home.

[George Cazenove @KingofSW6]

I feel fairly certain that most England fans don’t give a monkey’s about this.

[Lawrence Booth @BoothCricket]

It’s hard to see how Ben Stokes retains his authority to lead England after this - not after everything that happened over the winter

@BristOliver You say that like it’s a bad thing.

[George Cazenove @KingofSW6]

Despite having just been DBS checked to be a school governor, I can’t umpire an U13 girls club cricket match in which my younger daughter is playing because I haven’t gone through the @ECB_cricket specific DBS process. It’s madness and maddening. Who makes this sort of stuff up?

@gbrew24 Stock market falls on Friday night make a Trump compromise more likely

At Lords today. It’s hard to overstate how impressive Emilio Gay has been. #ENGvsNZ

1/2 Our thoughts are with the families, friends, and comrades of Lt Cdr Chris Gayson, Lt Lily-Mae Fisher and PO Owen Green, who died when their helicopter crashed in Devon.

Cherished members of the Commando Helicopter Force, all three will never be forgotten.

Montgomerie is the sort of the guy that Tory, Labour, Reform, even Lib Dem activists bitch about at the count.

[Tim Montgomerie 🇬🇧 @montie]

A big week in my estimation of @KemiBadenoch. She is big about not making party politics out of the Nowak tragedy while making every party political point she can at every opportunity - and clearly conspiring with Keir Starmer in doing so. It was a particular giveaway that she didn't ask any question on the issue that's gripped the nation at this week's #pms. We see you Kemi, we see you.

[George Cazenove @KingofSW6]

For all his frequently espoused Christian faith and values, Montgomerie is very nasty piece of work and always has been.

[Nick Robinson @bbcnickrobinson]

In these globally turbulent times one man has regularly acted as a wise, thoughtful and witty guide for listeners of @BBCr4today. The former Head of MI6 Sir Alex Younger has analysed, explained and contextualised the actions of Trump, Putin, Xi and the Ayatollahs. After he first appeared in the programme I was lucky enough to get to know Alex and call him my friend. I’m desperately sad to hear the news I’ve long feared was coming. Alex has died after months trying to cheat the
prognosis he was given whe. They discovered the tumour he nicknamed “Putin”.
We’re always told not to speak of a fight with cancer because it risks implying that only those strong enough survive. I understand that. I really do but sod it. Alex fought so hard to find a treatment to give him a little longer to be with Sarah and their lovely children. And he used every last minute of the short time he did have to be with family and friends and to do what he spent a lifetime in the shadows doing - using his intelligence to understand the world, to explain it but, above all, to keep us all safe.

And there are people out there that have gone to BlueSky and are missing out on this stuff….

[Iain Cameron @theiaincameron]

Why, Australia, WHY?

[Victoria Freeman @v_j_freeman]

Anyone who has paid any attention to Badenoch on racism knows she has been consistent in pushing back on overreach so all Reform hope to do is appeal to those easily convinced by lies based on prejudices about the colour of her skin. As others have said, a real mask off moment.

[Obadiah Mbatang @residentadviser]

Kemi Badenoch did her hen do. Now Suella Braverman is repeating a) something which is a complete lie, b) something she knows is a lie, c) racial grievance mongering over a real tragedy, d) obviously a racist dog whistle against a former friend. This is Reform. What they are.

[Kevin Schofield @KevinASchofield]

Henry Nowak's father outside court yesterday: "We do not want Henry's murder to be used to create further hatred, division or tension."

[Conservatives @Conservatives]

Reform’s attack on @KemiBadenoch is a straightforward lie, and everyone can see it.

Here’s what Kemi actually said this morning ⬇️

[alexmassie @alexmassie]

Real ‘mask off’ stuff from Reform.
(And, for what it is worth a 100% and deliberate misrepresentation of what Badenoch said in both instances. Still, good of Reform to remind us who they really are.)

[George Cazenove @KingofSW6]

Utterly shameful and shameless. But no surprise from the racists at Reform.

[Reform UK @reformparty_uk]

Kemi Badenoch, just like Starmer, doesn’t care.

Only Reform UK will openly say that white lives matter too.

[George Cazenove @KingofSW6]

@wallaceme @patmcfaddenmp And Liam Byrne’s note was clearly a joke but them’s the breaks….

Why is the district line so incredibly shit? @tfl
