Brooke Goldstein sat on a CNN panel and did the one thing that table almost never allows. She spoke as someone who actually went.

Two years in and out of Jenin, Ramallah, Tulkarem, and Nablus. Interviews with Hamas, Islamic Jihad, and the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades, not through a press release and not through a translator who works for the story. They told her to her face that they want war. That is not a talking point she invented in a green room. That is what they said.

The rest of the table looked the way people look when the script gets interrupted. They have never been in Samaria or Judea. They have never watched the propaganda machine operate on the ground and then come home to hear it repeated as news. They sit on a sofa in a studio and decide what Israel is allowed to do, while the people who have been there keep getting treated as the problem for noticing that this is an ideology that teaches children to love death and then parks those children in front of the launcher.

She said the quiet part without raising her voice. It is not only Hamas. It is what the schools print. It is what the commanders admit. It is why there can be food in the Strip and still be starvation, because Hamas treats the warehouse the same way it treats the tent.

CNN will air the clip, then go back to calling itself journalism, and still act wounded the next time someone says the network is selling a product instead of a report.

@GoldsteinBrooke already did the work they refuse to do. They just did not like hearing it at their own table.

Foolish by Phil Foden, deserved to go, kicked out two-footed at Bruno Fernandes, clear red, “checked and confirmed by VAR” (@PLMatchCentre), violent conduct, three-game ban (inc LFC away). Officials' exchange: Ref Michael Oliver: “Red card Phil Foden – kick out into the body of Bruno”. VAR Matt Donohue: “That looks like a clear red card to me. Looks to be a secondary movement. Confirming the red card for Manchester City’s No 47.” Foden had to walk.

But… Fernandes incredibly fortunate to escape any punishment for initial provocation, kicking Foden twice. Is it a question of who milks contact most? Which team appeals to ref loudest? And why doesn’t VAR look at initial kick by Fernandes? No excuses for Foden’s kick - straight red - but decision-making inconsistent here. #MUNMCI

What a sanctimonious bellend.

Dover’s parkrun gets cancelled, the port gets blocked, and your first instinct is to sneer at the people who live there. “Go home, get a job.”

You’re an MP. That’s your job. You’re just shit at it.

We’re fed up of Palestine marches grinding cities to a halt every day.

We’re fed up of boats still landing, hotels filling.

We’re fed up of watching the people you waved through rape women, attack kids, and murder innocents, then watching you treat the public’s fury as the scandal.

They take housing, services and money and don’t give anything back except court dates and funerals.

You lecture the blokes who showed up today because it’s easier than facing the voters who have had enough.

This is why Labour is finished. Not because people are “idiots.”

Because you’re so far out of touch you’d rather insult them than admit they’re right.

Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library was the best contribution to child literacy ever made by a celebrity. Our paths crossed once, in the 90s, backstage at a talk show, and I was completely tongue-tied and starstruck. RIP Dolly. You were a complete, irreplaceable one-off.

I see I am being ritually insulted for my support of this man

The uneducated call me a racist

I am not a racist

I am a culturalist

I believe that some cultures are better than others

I prefer cultures to do not advocate stoning, pederasty,
wife beating, female genital mutilation, and beheading opponents

Call me old-fashioned...

Chris Packham went on Gogglebox last week, watched the cartoon at the start of Clarkson's Farm, and announced that most farms are horrible monocultures sprayed with deadly chemicals, the ground pumped full of fertiliser, the animals indoors in crates being crushed and kept in the dark.

A cartoon. Not a farm, not a documentary. The little illustrated title sequence.

Clarkson replied in his Sun column and it is the best two hundred words he has written in years. He called Packham endlessly angry. He noted that the man had erupted in blind fury at the Winnie the Pooh-ish opening credits of a television programme. He pointed out, patiently, that it was a drawing.

Then he dropped the actual grenade.

Packham has been to Diddly Squat. In 2012. He drove there, on purpose, to look at the birds and do a bit of foraging.

Sit with that one.

The naturalist who tells a primetime audience that British farms are lifeless, poisoned industrial monocultures once picked a British farm as the place to go and enjoy the wildlife. And to gather food off the ground. Voluntarily. For pleasure.

If the fields are sprayed dead, what were the birds doing there.

And if the animals were indoors in crates in the dark, you would think he might have raised it at the time, rather than waiting fourteen years and bringing it up on a sofa while looking at a cartoon.

He has doubled down on Instagram since, with a graphic about glyphosate and pig housing, asking whether it is really all happy smiley down on the farm. Which is a fair question to put to a farm. It is a strange question to put to an illustration.

Here is the part that should genuinely annoy people.

Clarkson's Farm has explained British agriculture to the British public better than every campaign, report and documentary of the last twenty years put together. Subsidies, weather, supermarket margins, the lot.

Packham had the platform to join that conversation.

He used it to lose an argument with the title sequence.

[Manchester City @ManCity]

Everyone at Manchester City is devastated to learn our former manager Kevin Keegan has passed away, aged 75.

Kevin was a transformative manager who brought optimism and vibrancy to City during his four-year spell in charge.

The promotion campaign in 2001/02 will never be forgotten, and Kevin then established us once again as a top Premier League side in the years that followed.

Our thoughts are with Kevin’s family and friends at this very difficult time.

I am married with a young daughter, both myself and my husband work.

-We are not entitled to housing benefit, or any other benefit for that matter.

-We do not get free eye tests, free dental care or free prescriptions.

-Our daughter is not entitled to free school meals, or free breakfast clubs, or free wrap around care, no help with her uniform.

-We don’t get council tax discount, or any other discount.

-We don’t get help with our energy bills, or low cost broadband.

-We don’t get help with the cost of going to the cinema, or days out at theme parks.

-My daughter is unable to play outside unsupervised, because you have failed to secure our borders and the streets aren’t safe.

-If I work more hours, I fall into the higher tax band.

Why should someone like me, vote for someone like you? @UKLabour @andyburnham

What are you offering my family?

😳 Extraordinary Bust-Up: Zia Yusuf vs Fiona Bruce in Fiery BBC Audience Bias Row!

Zia Yusuf just went head-to-head with Fiona Bruce in a heated clash over Question Time audience bias and he refused to back down!

After only 4 hands went up for Reform (rising to just 8 on a recount), Zia said:

“This is interesting given that Reform is averaging 28% in the polls.”

He called it “no way close to representative.”

Fiona pushed back, saying there’s more than that in the audience but they’re just not putting their hands up.

Zia fired straight back: “Ok. We’ll all just have to take the BBC’s word for that.”

Fiona insisted: “We are scrupulous making sure that our audience is politically representative.”

Zia doubled down: “And we all just have to take the BBC’s word for that.”

Fiona, clearly annoyed: “Well I’m certainly not lying about it!”

Zia stood his ground: “Fiona, with respect, where’s the evidence for that? You just made an important claim, you appealed to authority, which is the BBC, so you should believe us, but where’s the evidence for it?”

Fiona replied that everybody is checked, questioned and interviewed before they are picked, but “not everyone wants to put their hand up and show their political allegiance on national television.”

Zia wasn’t convinced: “Ok. Which is why I just said we’ve got to take the BBC’s word for it which you agree with.”

Fiona’s last word: “And I’m happy to do so.”

You may be happy to do so Fiona but Zia and millions more are not. We don’t trust the BBC one bit. I’m glad Zia called this out and refused to back down.
