Maresca??? Where are Shankley, Stein, Busby, Clough? These men had to win cups with spare resources. Surely Ramsey must be included. And Antonio Conte is football's one true genius. (Btw, wtf has Simeone ever done?)

Labour needs to revive the vibe of sorting things out in smoke-filled rooms and supping several pints of strong ale. Its current killjoy attitude is killing what little remains of its appeal to ordinary people. Just when everyone desires a pint, these Malvolios crush the spirit.

The equal and opposite is true of reputations relating to feted authors and their works. I recently read the renowned 'Scoop', which is confused, uneven and a long way from Waugh's best. You'd never know that from the obeisance it gains from the so-called cognoscenti.

@paulsimpsonHN She's unfashionable? I find that baffling.

I find it staggering. I think she's incredible. Never read anything by her that didn't leave me in awe.

Why are people so wrong?

There’s a puritanical, holier-than-thou vibe running through the Greens - killjoys…!!!

This is the City Barge pub in Chiswick right now. What do you notice? It’s 3pm and they’re open. It’s a sunny day. Yes, that’s right; they have had to remove all of the tables and chairs outside. They have had to destroy their own business. Why? Because Rick Rowe, a Green Party councillor on Hounslow council, who lives very, very, very close to this pub and complains about it almost daily, has banned all three pubs here on strand on the Green Chiswick, from having outside tables. I can only assume he hates pubs, hates business and hates the British way of life. This would usually be buzzing with people enjoying their afternoon. However, they’re the wrong sort of people for Rick.

Nonsense! If Scotland, Wales, Ireland or N. Ireland played England, why would the migrants from those countries living in London not cheer for their home nation? @NickBuckleyMBE has some strong points to make on our problems with immigration, but this makes no sense.

[Nick Buckley MBE @NickBuckleyMBE]

Football fans in UK celebrating that England is losing to their team. This is mental.
This is why mass immigration will always lead to mass violence. We are not the same tribe.

[William Clouston SDP @WilliamClouston]

@firasmodad Tolerance, in so many instances, is merely indifference. It amounts to not caring.

Time was once renown when west London's football clubs were like magnets for the world's most beautiful and sexy women. As when Raquel Welch came to Stamford Bridge and got the hots for Chelsea legend Peter Osgood - https://t.co/nQIOTOtbnx

If DR Congo ever face Belgium or the USA, this exercise in cultural-historical expression might grow rather gruesome. Our Congolese superfan might find himself facing a firing squad - and worse...!!!

The anonymity of the EU hierarchy is one of the big problems with the institution. Who actually holds the posts of authority? Who knows?

[John McGuirk @john_mcguirk]

For six months every thirteen years, when it is in Hibernian hands, the EU Council Presidency becomes the most important diplomatic office in world history. The rest of the time, nobody knows who holds it. Until yesterday it was Cyprus, apparently.

Parliament's complacency about this needless menace has gone on long enough. These machines are motor vehicles and should be treated as such. Drivinbg tests, Licence plates. Compulsory insurance. Serious minimum age. https://t.co/Zund5nssWw

It might be worthwhile recalling that when Dr. Johnson first published his dictionary, he defined Scotland as "North Britain". (I think he intended to give the Scots a bit of the rise.)

I first voted Labour when Callaghan was the leader and then always voted for the party whether or not I agreed with the leadership. Starmer was the last straw for me. I quit when he failed to oppose Johnson's lockdowns, but there's much more disaffection besides.

[Oliver Pridmore @OliverPridmore]

Interesting speech by Andy Burnham today - but he has a huge hill to climb to win back some Labour support.

I've spoken to some lifelong Labour voters in Mansfield today who say they'll never go back to the party. "Starmer's done it", one said. Much more on this tomorrow.

@davidyelland if I was paid to say what my bosses wanted to hear , I could have stayed at The Guardian.

We weren't left behind. We were purposefully left out.

[An Irish Scene @Spackymartin]

It's important to know Burnham's take on Orwell's 'Road to Wigan Pier', especially part two. In it, GO outlines the threat to the traditional, authentic Labour Party from a predatory liberal middle class, who despise the working class. Right now, Burnham makes GO look a sage.

[TheSimonEvansX @TheSimonEvansX]

I would like to find room for some serious works of political philosophy, such as Kahlil Gibran or The Alchemist.
