@OldRoberts953 @AllisonPearson Let’s hope there are some folk who understand there’s more than one act that meets a standard that should disqualify people from office?

A rare victory for common sense…

BREAKING: Met Police officer unlikely to face further action after fatal shooting of Chris Kaba in south London

@crockpics Didn’t see them at the beginning but made damn sure I caught them from the Axl / Slash / Duff reunion - worth the wait!

[Stefhan Burnard @Stefhanb]

@LeeAndersonMP_ @Nigel_Farage Yes, that must be it…. 🤣😂🤣

[Sky News @SkyNews]

Clarification: Sky News was not at the property at 7.41am. As has already been acknowledged, and as shown in the footage from 10.19am, Sky News was outside a property where Mr Farage was registered to vote at the last election. Sky News did not interact with Mr Farage’s daughter.

On a single occasion, we approached the property without a camera operator, identified ourselves as Sky News, and the adult occupant chose not to engage. We were seeking to contact Mr Farage to ask questions about the gift he accepted from Mr Cottrell. This is a well-established and routine journalistic practice when reporting on matters of legitimate public interest.

The footage clearly demonstrates that Sky News did not “hound” or pursue Mr Farage’s daughter. At no stage did we seek to speak to anyone other than Mr Farage in connection with this story.

@TiceRichard Employing the Prince Andrew defence is hardly a PR coup…

[Stefhan Burnard @Stefhanb]

@MelissaReddy_ This was ahead of its time! 👏🏼

[Stefhan Burnard @Stefhanb]

@montie Have they also accepted a £5 million gift from a friend? 🤔

[Stefhan Burnard @Stefhanb]

@TiceRichard @RobertJenrick @SkyNews ‘superb’… hmm the main take away from this interview was Jenrick accusing Sky of doorstepping Farage’s ‘kids’ who, as it turns out, are adults… and made the decision not to engage with Sky after they identified themselves… and weren’t actually ‘lying’ 🤷‍♂️

BREAKING: Donald Trump has just called Gianni Infantino and asked FIFA to “just find 4 more goals.”

[Stefhan Burnard @Stefhanb]

@SkyNews Given the self importance Infantino gives himself, any approach would have to be made by King Charles…

Madame Celeste Amarilla,
Vous êtes une femme méprisable et indigne de sa fonction.
Vous ne représentez pas le Paraguay, ce pays qui a transpiré la passion et l’honneur tout au long de la compétition. Par votre inconscience et votre racisme décomplexé, le monde entier a déjà oublié le parcours et l’effort historique que vos joueurs ont réalisés durant cette coupe du monde pour laisser place à une dame incompétente donnant la pire image possible de son pays.
Je ne laisserai jamais aux gens comme elle, la liberté de laisser propager leur haine et leur racisme à travers le monde.

@PressSec Not the win you guys appear to think it is…

BREAKING: UEFA accuses FIFA of crossing 'red line' by suspending US striker's red card ban - after Trump lobbying

I don’t know anyone with more journalistic integrity than Gabriel. Being a lobby journalist is a balancing act of source cultivation, protection and then criticism. Investigations are different. You just go after the story. Gabriel is the best reporter in the country imo

[Gabriel Pogrund @Gabriel_Pogrund]

In response to the amusing if bewildering accusation I’m a Labour stooge, please do pass this on to the following comrades:

— Keir Starmer and Waheed Alli, whose gifts of suits and spectacles to the PM was a story I broke

— Jeremy Corbyn, who furiously denounced a book I cowrote as “tittle tattle”

— Matthew Doyle, whose association with a convicted paedophile I exposed

— Tulip Siddiq, whose housing deals I examined and formed part of the inquiry leading to her resignation

— Keir Starmer (again), who said the thesis of a second book I wrote was “bollocks”

— Morgan McSweeney, whose group’s £750,000 of unlawfully undeclared donations I exposed

— Labour Together, which paid a US lobbying firm tens of thousands to investigate my work

— Ann Limb, who had her Labour peerage deferred after I revealed she made up part of her CV

— Joe Docherty, who was suspended as a Labour peer after I revealed his workplace sexting

— Angela Rayner, whose trip to New York alongside her boyfriend I revealed was funded by Waheed Alli

I recall many Reform figures vigorously agreeing about the public interest in those stories. Some have even referred to them in order to highlight the wrongdoing of the left since yesterday.

But also, it isn’t “my” story, it’s the Sunday Times investigation team, Insight’s story. It could not, would not have happened, without the whole paper, especially @ManuMidolo @venetiamenzies @GeorgeGreenwood whose revelations were indispensable and who have not to my knowledge (yet) been accused of being Labour activists.

Moreover the Sunday Times isn’t a Labour paper, or paper which exists to serve anyone or any party other than its readers and, to the best of our abilities, the public interest.

@Nigel_Farage @KemiBadenoch Surprised a mate hasn’t paid for you to be there to watch it…

[Yannick Bolasie @YannickBolasie]

All I’ll say is if this was AFCON and they let a man play after he got a red card, the nonsense being said would be crazy

Burn! 🔥

Really? Your lot didn’t show up to help until 1942, when we’d already repelled German efforts to invade in 1940. Maybe you should stick to the local politics of your own Florida backyard. You’re clearly out of your depth on historic and geopolitical matters.
