@TNTSportsBR still haven't posted *yesterday's* #GirodItalia extended highlights, let alone today's... Maybe they're being a bit relaxed while the race is in Bulgaria...?

[T.A. Gilbert @TAGilbert]

So I was just watching the end of the extended highlights of the #Villa - #Forest semi final on @hbo, and was about to watch the other semi final when the commentator told me the result!
Shan't bother now!
Please stop spoilers in highlights! @footballontnt @TNTSportsBR

@69Erastus69 @EdwardJDavey Despite being coined by MAGA Republicans, when history is written, I suspect the phrase Trump Derangement Syndrome will more likely come to refer to the derangement of the president himself.

[T.A. Gilbert @TAGilbert]

@Tesco Thanks, Ross. Don't seem able to message on Twitter/X, now however. Perhaps the rules have changed for free accounts. Let me know how else to DM you.

@SeabrookCrisps Just opened a six pack bought @Tesco Norwich Harford Bridge last Saturday... And there are only 4 packets inside. Maybe the machine had a hiccup?
Codes - all 6063 - and times in pic below.

[T.A. Gilbert @TAGilbert]

P.S. BTW, Do you do a salt and vinegar only six pack, @SeabrookCrisps? And if so...

Why don't you stock it, @Tesco? Only this mixed pack, cheese and onion, sea salt, or prawn cocktail available in six packs @HarfordTesco it seems.

"There is disagreement over whether Lebanon is included in the ceasefire."

This current US administration really is a bunch of amateurs.

Labour video contrasting Badenoch's view of the war now with her gung-ho attitude at the start of it.

[The Labour Party @UKLabour]

Kemi Badenoch hasn’t got a clue. Don’t believe us? Watch this.

[The Lincoln Project @ProjectLincoln]

WATCH: The White House took down this video, but we still have it.

Trump: We can't take care of daycare. We're a big country. We're fighting wars. It's not possible for us to take care of daycare, Medicaid, Medicare, all these things.

[Ed Davey @EdwardJDavey]

Kemi Badenoch and Nigel Farage cheered on Trump’s illegal war in Iran, and now we are all paying the price at the pump.

We want to cut Fuel Duty by 10p to save families 12p a litre and keep Britain moving.

[Ed Davey @EdwardJDavey]

Good to see Sadiq Khan joining Wes Streeting and David Lammy in finally catching up with the Lib Dems on the need for a UK–EU customs union.

We have led the way, won the vote in Parliament and will now fight to make sure Downing Street wakes up to the damage done by Brexit too.

[T.A. Gilbert @TAGilbert]

@LindseyGrahamSC @POTUS NATO is a DEFENSIVE alliance, whereby members are obliged to aid fellow members who are ATTACKED.

But the United States was not attacked by Iran. Trump launched a war of choice.

I suspect his anger stems mostly from the fact that it's not going as he thought it would.

[T.A. Gilbert @TAGilbert]

@Colcestrian @afneil @JEyal_RUSI Not sure about the geographical limitation, but the point is that NATO is a DEFENCE treaty. Members are obliged to aid fellow members who are attacked, not fellow members who attack others.

Trump's bootlicker in chief strikes again.

Farage is no patriot, he's just a stooge for the White House.

[Liberal Democrats @LibDems]

You don't suck up to bullies like Trump.

You stand up to them.

[T.A. Gilbert @TAGilbert]

This is vile. Put simply, Trump is not a fit person to be president.
Americans should get rid of him, asap.

[Morgan J. Freeman @mjfree]

Yesterday the Kennedy family announced that JFK’s granddaughter Tatiana Schlossberg had died from cancer.

A few hours later, President Trump re-posted some social media garbage attacking the Kennedy family.

What kind of heartless monster does this?

[Ed Davey @EdwardJDavey]

Fixed that for you 💅

[Ed Davey @EdwardJDavey]

Trump is coming after our BBC. He’s suing it for $10 billion, and the Conservatives and Reform are cheering him on.

The BBC must not pay Trump a penny. Instead of rolling over, it should sue Trump back for the lies he’s telling about it.

[T.A. Gilbert @TAGilbert]

Even @footballontnt have a goal alert switch, if you want to watch the other games later but, though @AmazonUK give you the great option to turn off an irritating commentator, I have to resort to my Heath Robinson alert blocker... 🤦😂
