I got on one knee and she said “Fuck off”, followed by Yes a few seconds later.

@itshudson85 @PolitlcsUK Lib Dems have the 2nd most MPs in greater Manchester

@SenseiChanning Were you on Spicy Marg and Touleen as well?

I’m no Tory, but anyone with any sense knew they at least had a chance. Stats for Lefties once again embarrassing themselves. They’ve deleted this now.

@LeftieStats They’ve gone odds on on the betting exchanges

@KeejayOV3 Don’t forget the US Open (I nearly did)

His first point negates everything else he says. Calling the Character “Dr Who” instead of “The Doctor” is cringe. Only Capaldi is allowed to call him that.

[The Spectator @spectator]

The BBC has binned its planned Doctor Who Christmas special and put the show 'out to tender'. This is a face-saving TV industry term for saying you've kicked an ailing show into the longest of grass, but don't want to enrage its most rabid fans.

Good luck with that, chaps. Essentially it translates as 'Somebody please, please take this nightmare off our hands'. It’s like one of those Facebook ads you see for a dog that needs rehousing because it barks all night, gnaws on toddlers, and has no control of its bowels, but is a total sweetie, honestly.

If by some bizarre quirk of circumstance I found myself the unwilling owner of the tender, I'd put Doctor Who on ice for at least a decade. Much has been written in the past few days about what happened to poor old Doctor Who, how the thing was revived in glory and then retoxified in shame.

As a former writer on Doctor Who, I was actually in the room when some of the mistakes were made. I offer the following suggestions – in a reflective but constructive spirit – for anybody barmy enough to take the thing on. (And yes, I broke many of these 'rules' myself, but I know better now.)

@KeejayOV3 Had the dual forecast, was worried for all of 2 seconds!

@KeejayOV3 Senegal and Ivory Coast are my tips for African teams. Spain defo team to beat, Portugal contenders if they drop Ronaldo. I think Japan beat Netherlands!

[Matt McMaster 🔶 🇺🇦 @MattMcMaster24]

@TomABacon Potentially unpopular opinion, but it should have ended when Capaldi left. His last few episodes were a thematically perfect way to end the show

You meet your 15 year old self and you’re allowed 3 words.

what would you say ??

[Matt McMaster 🔶 🇺🇦 @MattMcMaster24]

@drewoodm @LiamPatterson6 @WilliamHill No it’s not. The 8 fold on its own would pay at 2057/1 (excluding the acca boost). Nothing close to 30/1

@politicsbetclub I love how the arrow is pointing at the Lib Dems, classic case of poorly designed squeeze message

@AngeloSan17 @magneficodave @Ellis_ Only one of our teams has the same number of European Cups as Middlesbrough

[Matt McMaster 🔶 🇺🇦 @MattMcMaster24]

@TeeteeMr That’s some great value you found there. I think we came second overall. I recall Sunderland getting backed into 10/1 on this market so think it hurt the bookies

[Matt McMaster 🔶 🇺🇦 @MattMcMaster24]

@codyhaine91 @ThomasClay3 To level the playing field. Each team gets a certain head start, in theory they should then all finish on nearly the same points if they perform to expectations

[Matt McMaster 🔶 🇺🇦 @MattMcMaster24]

@ThomasClay3 It’s hilarious, because by their logic you could back the 3 league favourites to win the handicap at 16/1 each and one would be almost guaranteed to come up. When you look at it that way it’s so obvious how it works

[Matt McMaster 🔶 🇺🇦 @MattMcMaster24]

@reece_kerr @SkyBet Sunderland won the handicap, United placed though, so an each way bet would have won
