@CrossCountryUK are you able to provide an update on the train currently being held up? 17.09 from Birmingham New Street to Nottingham.

[Ben Green @BenGreen_92]

I might not like the guy, or agree with his politics. But I can respect him for this. Having watched my grandpa and step-dad live with, and die from dementia, the system is broken, and it needs to change, because it isn’t fair. I hope @andyburnham stays true to his word.

Andy Burnham, whose father died this month, has promised to reform social care, saying he recognises millions face unfairness with the current system.

Ed Miliband is going to be the most dangerous Foreign Secretary we have ever had.

He is putting the safety of British Jews at risk.

And, he is destroying our reputation on a global stage.

He is a serial failure. But this time, his failure with have dangerous consequences.

[Chief Rabbi Sir Ephraim Mirvis @chiefrabbi]

This is truly a dark day for British Jews.

Today our Government has chosen to ignore the deep concerns expressed by so many of us.

The measures announced amount to little more than political flag bearing for mendacious anti-Israel rhetoric and those who harbour a dangerous obsession with the Jewish State. These measures will succeed only in bolstering the very extremism they seek to target.

On the eve of Rosh Hashanah and at a time when our community is more vulnerable than ever to the wave of extremism that has been building over recent years, these sanctions do nothing to advance the cause of peace. Nor do they make anyone safer – quite the contrary.

Gesture politics of this kind feeds into an increasingly hostile discourse about Israel, and the cumulative effect of such punitive policies is to further embolden those, at home and abroad, who use hatred as a weapon against Jews.

@Ed_Miliband If you want to stand up for what is right, you’d not be saying anything as ludicrous as this.

[Ben Green @BenGreen_92]

This would not have happened under a @Conservatives government.

[Ben Green @BenGreen_92]

well, according to your website; we were 18 minutes behind schedule, so how are we now “on track”? No explanation. No apology. Just the most airy pathetic announcements, no explanation. “No driver”. No other industry would get away with operating like this. An embarrassment.

So tin pot for a massive footballing nation.

The Argentine FA has announced 15 July will be 'National Football Teams Day' to mark Argentina's 2026 World Cup semi-final victory over England on that date ⚽

[Luís Figo @LuisFigo]

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.

he's precisely what an organisation like FIFA needs.

@talkSPORT @JeffStelling Hear me out here, lads, but seriously, a decent shout for FIFA President is Sir Keir Starmer. Nothing to do with politics but as David Bernstein said, the appointment should come from outside of football. Whatever you think of his politics, he is a very…

[Ben Green @BenGreen_92]

good diplomat, completely removed from the internal mess within football, is a genuine football fan, and would almost certainly act on a fair and credible basis and provide a clean break for FIFA. I caveat this by saying that I am no fan of Sir Keir at all, but I genuinely think

Please stop. You’re the Prime Minister.

@Chelsearory It's not been the Jules Rimet trophy since 1974 when the trophy was replaced, having been permanently awarded to Brazil for the fact they'd won it 3 times.

Why on earth is Roberto Martinez singing the national anthem of Portugal (where he’s not from) especially against the nation of his birth. How bizarre.

Right. Nothing signals a fresh start like bringing back Sue Gray.
