Almost never feel sad about celebrity deaths- but felt so moved all day today about Dolly Parton. What a woman. The story of America. We’ve recorded a special ep of News Agents about her politics and why she- uniquely- transcended even the bitterest partisan divides. In your feeds at 5pm.

Remembering the late, great Dolly, who brought joy, comfort and inspiration to so many - including the millions of children given free books through her Imagination Library. We will always ❤️ you.

@wesstreeting Well said 👏

@LBC @HenryRiley1 I wonder how John votes…

PC Andrew Harper was a hero.

He risked his life to keep us safe. The 28-year-old lost it in the line of duty after being dragged behind a car for more than a mile. His injuries were so catastrophic a colleague at the scene couldn’t recognise him.

His new bride became a widow within a month of their wedding.

Now two of the men responsible for PC Harper’s death (seen here) are set to walk free at the halfway point of their sentences.

Harper’s Law already exists. It was passed in Andrew’s name to ensure those who kill emergency workers face tougher sentences. But it doesn’t apply retrospectively.

If the law named after Andrew Harper can’t prevent the men responsible for his death being released this early, what was it for?

Read the room, prime minister.

Here's a crazy notion: If you used to be a Nazi, you don't get to be a politician. Even if you're rehabilitated. You were an adult at the time, and it wasn't that long ago.

Feel a deep sense of duty to your country? Pick up litter. Volunteer. Loads of ways you can satisfy that.

@andyburnham You shouldn’t be letting murderers out of prison and allowing them to walk free. Especially killers who murder police officers and show no remorse.

[The Telegraph @Telegraph]

'I confidently predict that Pc Harper's killers, whenever they are freed, will not reintegrate into society as reformed and rehabilitated characters.'

@PeterBleksley says, as a former police officer, the prospect of Albert Bowers and Jessie Cole's release sickens him, but argues there is still time for Andy Burnham to make the right decision ⤵️

Today I join others from across our game and call for Gianni Infantino to resign as FIFA President.

Infantino has debased the office that he promised to elevate. He has lied, deceived and tried to feather his own nest at the expense of the game he is supposed to serve. 

He has lost the support of his senior staff, his closest advisers, the vast majority of people who devote their lives to this sport and even, it would seem, the FIFA Peace Prize winner. 

It is too late to save his dignity but it is not too late to save football. He should go. Now.

No words are big enough right now to overcome this empty feeling in the stomach. We were close, really close to another final but it wasn’t enough. We’ve given everything over these last 7 weeks and to fall short is hard to take!

I know the expectations are high and rightly so, we’ve been knocking on the door for 8 years now but again are missing that final piece of the jigsaw! That’s where we have to go away, process it and find a way to get better. I’m so proud of the boys and what we have shown throughout this tournament - some tough games and tough environments that we have overcome.

Some memories that will stay with us players and I’m sure you fans for a long long time! Going for glory doesn’t always mean you will get it. You have to fight for it, get knocked down, pick yourself up and go again and that’s what we will do, there’s no other way but to keep believing and keeping pushing.

Thank you to every single fan that travelled and showed their support in the stadiums. Thank you to every fan back home for believing in us. Thank you to the boys and staff for everything you have given. As always Win or lose, we learn and go again! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🦁

@HKane @maitlis Thank you, you did us all so proud 🦁🦁🦁🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Liz Truss opens CPAC GB. In fairness it’s quite early.

[Michael Owen @themichaelowen]

Watch Spain at 1-0 last night. That’s courage. That’s bravery. And then watch England at 1-0. What’s the difference?
We are a better team than Argentina, I’ve no doubt in my mind. But we deserved to get beat in the end. In fact, it could have been 4-1.
Bringing on 3 defenders at 1-0 up. What message does that send? I wrote it in my Daily Mail column after the Mexico game. Until we understand that courage and bravery is controlling possession under pressure and not booting / heading it up the field 40 yards then this will always be the end result.

"England had Argentina EXACTLY where they should have wanted them." 😔

@Tim_Vickery says Thomas Tuchel's substitutions were to blame for their defeat to Argentina 💔

#BBCFootball #FIFAWorldCup #ENGARG

[BBC Sport @BBCSport]

"The decisions Thomas Tuchel made, we have to be honest on this, have cost us tonight." 😬

Wayne Rooney believes England's switch to a back five is what proved costly.

Andy Burnham is preparing to remove controversial plans to curb jury trials from David Lammy’s courts bill.

This came from sources close to the prime minister-in-waiting, as told to The Telegraph ⤵️
