Left home yesterday morning at 7.40, returned more than 12 hours later as a marathon runner. Fabulous day. Thanks to @ParkinsonsUK @LondonMarathon and everyone who came out in the rain to volunteer, cheer on and support the runners.

@Arron_banks @DPJHodges And the other public representatives who have had their lives threatened here and elsewhere. Anything to say about protecting them? Thought not.

@beverleyturner @JDVance @SecRubio Don't make me laugh. The US president has done nothing to try to end the war. It's all performance and pretence. He believes in the strongman rule of law and recognises one in Putin. That's why he's done nothing that the Russian president has ever been unhappy about.

@danwootton You should have stayed silent.

[Ralph Cunningham @Ralph_Ire]

@lembitopik Nonsense. The investigation is continuing. The police came into new information. They felt it sufficiently new to update us. That's all that's happened here.

@OddsHunter @chrisgambler247 No, the House CMS committee is not the government. The chair is a Conservative, for a start.

[Ralph Cunningham @Ralph_Ire]

@chrisgambler247 The House CMS committee, not the Department committee. Not the government.

@HonestFrank @themichaelowen @FrankieDettori @sevenbarrows @PFNicholls @BetGameCouncil @nickluck @MCYeeehaaa @GamRegGB @DCMS @lisanandy @andyburnham No, not the government. The House CMS committee. Not the same. Caroline Dinenage, the chair, is a Conservative. One way parliamentary committees are different from the government.

@bbctms The @ECB_cricket statement is confusing. It's headlined "...stepping down...", suggesting McCullum decided, but the body of the story says he accepts the decision.

[Ralph Cunningham @Ralph_Ire]

@AllisonPearson You'll have to do a bit better than whataboutery.

[Ralph Cunningham @Ralph_Ire]

@JohnChaytor @TaraDH1 @UKLabour The majority of the MSM supports the left? It depends what you mean by the MSM I suppose? The press? Or the press and broadcasters? I don't see a left majority when you look at either or both.

[Ralph Cunningham @Ralph_Ire]

@andywigmore So it's a witch hunt when the media asks questions about Farage, but legitimate scrutiny when it's anyone else?

[Ralph Cunningham @Ralph_Ire]

@EssexPR You were ready to write that two years ago, weren't you? Objectively untrue, but you were determined to see him fail.

[Ralph Cunningham @Ralph_Ire]

@HonestFrank Great book. Makes me wonder where my copy is.

[Ralph Cunningham @Ralph_Ire]

@HonestFrank All-Ireland hurling semi-finals on Sunday: Galway v Cork, Limerick v Clare

[Ralph Cunningham @Ralph_Ire]

@danny__kruger Are you going to call for all scrutiny of the personal lives of politicians, eg, Keir Starmer, Bridget Philipson, Angela Rayner, Ed Mills and Hannah Spencer, to stop or just your company's leader? Thought not. Hypocrite.

[Ralph Cunningham @Ralph_Ire]

@MichaelLCrick Do you believe him?

[Ralph Cunningham @Ralph_Ire]

@HonestFrank It was big news that such a great champion came back, but some people were building it up as if she was a realistic contender to win the thing. That was never on the cards.

[Ralph Cunningham @Ralph_Ire]

@MartinD62864252 @gilescoren Your comment about her tennis ability is objectively untrue.

[Ralph Cunningham @Ralph_Ire]

@gilescoren It takes more than being an amateur to be seeded 30 at Wimbledon. You would think she was the only tennis player to be injured at the moment. You had plenty of other tennis players you could have had a go this week and you picked two women. Sad.
