@rajsinghchohan @M_Bas1 Amongst that rubble, Jordan Henderson (a relative unknown at the time) was not a bad buy though. Dalglish wanted a British heart beat in the team because that’s the camaraderie he knew and wanted to recreate. Team spirit and unity. He wasn’t wrong but the world had moved on.

People saying #Stokes is not even that good any more miss the point that he’s England’s best bowler. Most likely to make a breakthrough and get something out of a flat pitch. Suspect England’s poor bowling resources probably contributed to his mental exhaustion

@ErikaMorris79 @WG_RumblePants It was fun whilst it lasted but any level of sport requires adaptive intelligence but you have to earn the right to do funky stuff. At this point, only an Alec Stewart - Andy Flower double act can be trusted to help England rebuild.

[Saviola @SavvasN]

@TJC1974 @David__Osland Couldn’t disagree more. Getting rid of independent schools is simply cutting down the tall poppy. Makes no sense.

[Saviola @SavvasN]

My mate’s dogs are named Messi and Stokesey. If you are not a cricket fan, that should tell all you need to know of the calibre of sports person Ben Stokes has been and the impact it’s had on the nation’s psyche. #thankyouben #stokesey #benstokes #captainmarvel

@TJC1974 @David__Osland How many netball matches do children in most state schools play on a Saturday? Not the be-all and end-all but saying a school has netball/rugby team is not the same as doing it well. Your daughter’s experience sounds wonderful, perhaps others want something different. Let them

[Saviola @SavvasN]

@TJC1974 @David__Osland I coach a junior sports team and even getting some support in state schools to help children apply for representative sport trials was like pulling teeth whilst independent schools achieved that without fuss. And how many state schools have a full 30-40 member school orchestra?

[Saviola @SavvasN]

@TJC1974 @David__Osland Good for your family and amazing experience for your daughter. It’s fabulous to have these wonderful enriching opportunities. That said, I am not entirely convinced it’s the shared experience for many children in state schools up and down the country.

[Saviola @SavvasN]

@DAaronovitch Especially Karl Turner!! What a lemon!!

[Saviola @SavvasN]

@GNev2 saying Darwin Nunez cost Liverpool £90-95m. Never were very good at Maths, were you chum

[Saviola @SavvasN]

@TheBarmyArmy Soporific

[Saviola @SavvasN]

@FreyaWoods8 Not necessarily. England barely bat long, chances to grind the opposition into the ground are missed in the altar of aggressive shot making. Other than Root nobody else can bat time.

[Jack Elsom @JackElsom]

Apparently there was a bit of afters between Kemi Badenoch and Bridget Phillipson.

Tory source says that on the way out of PMQs, Phillipson made some barb to Badenoch.

Badenoch is said to have shot back: “ I will never stop fighting you. You are destroying children’s lives.”

[Iain Mansfield @IGMansfield]

Phillipson's claim that imposing VAT on private schools wasn't 'spiteful' would be more credible if she hadn't abolished the Latin Excellence Programme, canned the IB and slashed advanced maths in state schools.

A small-minded ideology obsessed with cutting down tall poppies.

[Alexander Insley @alexinsley]

@bphillipsonMP It's not just Kemi @bphillipsonMP, it's also @NEUnion members who think the same.

[Sharron Davies HoL MBE @sharrond62]

What you did was cruel & vindictive. For what? Most private schools opened up their facilities to local, often rural, often lacking, communities. Those have gone along with all the jobs lost & the friends of those turfed out of their schools because normal families could no longer afford the increased fees.

[Bob Seely @IoWBobSeely]

She's too polite about you. Your divisive class-obsessed class-work politics shames you and that feable excuse of a political party you are a member of.

Some facts: 43k pupils displaced, 125 schools shut so far, the worst affected areas in the NE. 5000 teachers and school staff made redundant through closures.

Your claim that VAT off education amounted to a "tax break" was not a legally significant description, according to the courts.

Vindictive, vile and class-war obsessed. Nasty policies, Labour, the true nasty party

[Andy Burnham @andyburnham]

Any UK politician who gave Trump the time of day should be ashamed right now.

[Andy Burnham @andyburnham]

I have never taken part in a coup against any Leader of the Labour Party and I am not going to start now. 2/3
