If the problem is you're borrowing too much, that arises because you're spending too much. If you're spending too much, you must reduce your spending...It's a very silly person that says, "I'm going bankrupt the way I am but I can't afford to cut so don't ask me."

[...]

You know 30% of the people in council houses have higher household incomes than 45% of the people in owner-occupied homes. And yet, the people in the owner-occupied homes are having to subsidise some of that 30%.

You don't cut subsidies to those people who need them. The trouble now is they're right across the board.

And where do subsidies come from? Not from the government, but out of the taxpayers' pocket.

@CroftyF1 @SportmphMark @MBrundleF1 @karunchandhok @F1 This is the youngest podium in F1 history! @wearetherace @autosport

@MarcusSimmons54 He was wild through Westfield. Im pretty sure he had it in the tyres earlier in the meeting whilst we were spectating there. He was the sort of guy who you stretched your neck a little further for every lap. I became a massive fan that weekend too….

@tiff_tv I know you have great passion for entertaining racing. With that in mind I can seriously recommend the German Carrera Cup races from Imola as being wildly entertaining! On YouTube :-)

@adamcooperF1 So enjoyed all your work over the years….. :-)

@TelegraphSport @tomcary_tel Just bidding up the price Horner has to pay 🤭

[Tim Richardson @TimRichardson9]

@MartinSLewis @Ed_Miliband I paid 57.7p per litre 19 Feb. Cheapest quote on Boilerjuice today is 124.17p per litre. Disastrous situation!

[Tim Richardson @TimRichardson9]

@CastleCombeUK Williams are great people to deal with. Nice partnership :-)

[Tim Richardson @TimRichardson9]

@gavinemmett Brilliant call by Simon Crafer. Quick, crisp and accurate decision…. f1 take note !

[Tim Richardson @TimRichardson9]

@tiff_tv @NASCAR @PremSportsTV Tremendous entertainment….Atlanta has become such a spectacular two or three groove circuit.

@denkmit 1/2 So. Liberty are obsessed with growth to the detriment of the sport. Dubious new races with high hosting fee, existing races are oversold with massive fan price rises, pander to the fashion fan..most will be gone to darts soon, stewards who obsess over every little incident

[Tim Richardson @TimRichardson9]

@tiff_tv …..and the Thailand track is dreadful :-(

“Football is a sport, not a laboratory experiment. If the stewards of the game continue to prioritize technical perfection over the spirit of the law, they risk alienating the very people who make the game what it is: the fans. It is time to bring the “Beautiful Game” back to its roots.”

This “urgent call for reform” email to IFAB will strike a chord with many fans. Broadcaster Dave Johnson voices the views of supporters' "growing frustration - and frankly, disillusionment” – with the current application of VAR in offside decisions. “While the pursuit of accuracy is noble, the current “microscopic” approach has reached a breaking point that threatens the entertainment value and emotional integrity of the sport”.

“Football is a game of flow and spontaneous joy. Currently, that joy is being strangled by lengthy delays that often exceed three or four minutes, only to result in goals being overturned by the width of a shirt seam or a “toenail”.

“The recent controversy involving Fulham and Manchester United, where a goal was disallowed because a player’s elbow was deemed offside, serves as a perfect indictment of the current system. When the “clear and obvious” error mandate is ignored in favour of sub-pixelgeometry, the game moves away from fairness and into the realm of pedantry”.

Johnson outlines “key areas of concern”. 1. Spirit of the Law: “The offside rule was designed to prevent goal-hanging, not to penalise an attacker for having a larger shoe size than a defender”. 2. Fan experience: “Supporters in stadiums are left in a vacuum of silence, unable to celebrate goals, waiting for a verdict that often feels disconnected from the physical reality of the play”. 3. Margin of Error: “Current frame rates and the manual placement of lines do not account for the biological reality of movement, making “millimeter-perfect” decisions scientifically questionable”.

He seeks “fundamental changes to how offside is officiated”. 1. "the serious consideration of Arsène Wenger’s proposal. By requiring a clear gap of “daylight” between the attacker and defender, the advantage is returned to the attacking side, encouraging goals and reducing microscopic disputes”.

2. “Margin of Error” buffer: “Implementing a 5-10cm “tolerance zone” where the on-field decision stands unless the infraction is undeniable”. 3 Time limit on reviews: “If a decision cannot be reached within 60 seconds, the original on-field call should be upheld. This ensures that only “clear and obvious” errors are corrected”.

Johnson concludes his email by looking forward to “seeing these issues addressed in upcoming technical sub-committee meetings”. Good luck.

@Motorsport My 55 year love affair with car racing has been well and truly overtaken by NFL. Unpredictable and wildly exciting….. basically F1 in the 80s…and brilliantly run by Roger Goddell and his team.

[Tim Richardson @TimRichardson9]

@Footballtweet Josh King Fulham even worse….

[Tim Richardson @TimRichardson9]

@WilksJeremy Totally agree. I’ve been a regular user since its launch but I sense a total lack of investment. We’ve had several six hour plus delays in last twelve months which is a pretty miserable experience. Brittany Ferries kit is great…. Time to swap back!
