It’s absurd that coming out is a brave thing to do in football. It is though, and I’m full of admiration for Josh for treading a path hopefully many others will follow. I’m sure the overwhelming majority of football lovers will support him and erase the fear others may have.

[Gary Lineker @GaryLineker]

Alan, please forgive me. I had no idea that by choosing to follow me, you get to decide what I can and cannot tweet about.

“When 45 senior military retired officers including many ex chief of defence staff write an open letter to the PM, Foreign Secretary, Home Sec, Defence Sec- [on interpreters] and it’s not really taken seriously then I think there’s a gap in who’s listening to whom in govt atm.”

Plan for voter ID is blatant voter suppression as targets people less likely to vote Tory

Alongside crushing local democracy over planning & scrapping PR voting, this is deliberate attempt to squeeze support for other parties

Tories aiming for a one-party state

Ed Davey - "Forcing people to show identity papers in order to vote... is a plan ripped straight from the Donald Trump playbook... these are the actions of despots...

There seems to have been a redesign on ‘Casualty’ -everything has become blue. The lighting has a blue tinge. Curtains, equipment, walls, throws, jumpers, t-shirts, suits, directories, storage boxes, shirts, shadows, shelves, chairs. It’s like no 10’s Briefing Room.

Have never seen Johnson so rattled and angry at the despatch box in his final answer to Starmer - red faced and ranting at the end ... denied his ‘bodies’ quote again and still didn’t answer the central Q about No 10 flat - who picked up the bill at the start

[Mike Galsworthy @mikegalsworthy]

I thoroughly object to my taxpayer money being used to fund a party political promotion piece via the BBC.

Put BBC News in the bin and nuke it from space.

All I hear is 20,000, 25,000, thousand, thousand! Who is this pipsqueak Govt. Minister on @BBCQT.
There is no cause for National Pride unless its for the Scrubbers, the Drivers, the Rubbish Removers, Teachers, Carers & vols, but this Government is an epic fail.

Grorge Eustace @bbcqt clearly told to say “ this will be very powerful tool” shame he doesn’t know anything about it.

Delaying second dose of vaccine grave mistake @MattHancock disillusioned with the way whole pandemic has been handled in the U.K. 5 weeks post first dose - Covid positive with terrible symptoms : As a frontline NHS staff would have liked the second dose rather than claps !

Who wants their EU citizenship back?

[Joe Biden @JoeBiden]

I know masks have become a partisan issue — but it’s a patriotic act. Experts say wearing a mask from now until April will save more than 50,000 lives.

A reminder that Trump’s fake news tactics have been drawing admiring glances from this side of the Atlantic https://t.co/2bZ1ZF11mC

[Donald Tusk @donaldtuskEPP]

The EU and UK should react together to the Chinese repressions in Hong Kong. Let us show that despite brexit, we are still a community when it comes to universal rights.

[Rob Merrick @Rob_Merrick]

Astonishing fact the UK has suffered more Covid deaths in 24 hours (1,041) than Australia has since the START OF THE PANDEMIC (909)

What a monumental failure

[Agnes Bergman 💙💛 🇺🇦StandWithUkraine @AgiBergman]

@bbclaurak When the media will stop giving equal weight to far-right voices to “balance out” arguments we will get our sanity back. Until then fake news will proliferate with the help of mainstream media.

[Tom Brake @thomasbrake]

From now on there will be no scapegoats, no excuses, no one else to blame.

Having your cake and eating it becomes £7 billion of extra business costs, a 4% drop in GDP and a loss of influence globally.

Populism just hit the buffers.
