In a nutshell

Multiculturalism is great when it comes to food, art, clothing, festive customs, etc. It's not so good when it involves conflicting moral values such as whether homosexuality should be permitted, whether women can show their hair or whether antisemitism should be encouraged.

John McGinn’s last five games: beat Liverpool, beat Man City, win the Europa league, beat Bolivia 4-0, score at the World Cup. No one has had this much fun in the last month

[John McGinn @jmcginn7]

A childhood dream fulfilled but scoring Scotland’s winner in our first World Cup game in 28 years is just bonkers! The support last night and back home is just as expected. Quality! Let’s keep going!! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Less is fewer. That's one fewer thing to worry about.

I enjoyed this tweet. Callaghan shows aplomb & wisdom as Labour crashes. But some replies criticised @labour_history’s grammar, insisting that ‘less votes’ is incorrect. They’re wrong. I’ll explain. 🧵

This is the Irish minister for foreign affairs pushing sanctions for Isreal while she remains silent about the huge scandal around the russian refinery that still sends 14 ships to St Petersburg per month.

@MichaelRosenYes Was he homeless? Was it a shared garden run by incompetent Englishmen? Did he pay for his little patch of dry earth and improve it beyond measure? Was it actually his ancestors' garden and had they been going on about it forever? Did the others refuse to share any of it with him?

@RachelMoiselle Forgive my pedantry, but if you are relying on others, it's not self defence. It's just defence.

@nguyenhdi There's a lot to unpack there.

There is something wrong with this country and last night was a perfect example.
Ireland played a slave state with a shocking human rights record and Irish fans protested- against Israel, who weren't even playing.
This level of obsession is deeply stupid and genuinely sinister.

Arsenal had the LOWEST possession by a team in a Champions League final on record (since 2003/04)! 🤯

The British Museum has cancelled a Jewish Culture Month event on Ancient Israel and Judah due to ‘security concerns’.
If publicly-funded institutions cannot host such events without folding to pressure, serious questions arise about that funding.

@InstituteGC This requires a considered response. I will set one out tomorrow.

Emery has won the Europa League 5 times and with three separate clubs. But they all have Villa in the name
