All I’ll say is if this was AFCON and they let a man play after he got a red card, the nonsense being said would be crazy

@StanCollymore Random bloke asks former international footballer if he's ever played sport for "more than 45 minutes straight". I love this website.

2 hours ago Tory MP Richard Holden posted this tweet👇🏼

I was the first person to reply to correct him - this was a Thatcher introduced law!

So he blocked me, hid all replies calling him out AND retweeted it himself🙄🙄🙄

Two Muslim men pulled an elderly couple and their grandson from a burning house in Leeds last Friday.

You probably didn’t hear about it.

Mohsin Qayyum. 22.
Mohammed Yusuf Iqbal. 20.

Both from Bradford.

They drove past the garden. They saw the fire. They ran straight in.

Sheila Robinson, the grandmother who was trapped inside, posted on social media:

"My family and I will be forever grateful to these young men."

Her granddaughter Kayla wrote:

"Drove past the garden, seen it, and ran straight in and made sure everyone was okay without a second thought."

Everyone got out. The house can be replaced. The family is alive.

Every outlet that covered it called them heroes.

They deserved every word.

But not one headline told you they were Muslim men.

We have seen this before.

Two weeks ago, a teacher was stabbed in the neck protecting his pupils from a knife in his Manchester classroom.

Maysum Abdullah. 27. Science teacher.

LBC named him a hero. So did the Independent, the Manchester Evening News, the Mirror, the Sun.

He ran towards the blade.

A hero in every paper. A Muslim man in none of them.

This is the pattern.

When a Muslim name appears in a crime, the faith leads the headline.

When a Muslim name appears in a rescue, it vanishes from the page.

Now look at who that erasure clears the path for.

Bradford, the same district these men come from, is now led by Reform as its largest party.

One of their candidates, Daniel Devaney, topped the poll in his ward after writing on Facebook that Muslims were "pure scum" and that he wanted to "blast [them] off the face of the earth."

He was not deselected. He was not suspended. He was elected.

They are loud about our religion when they want to call it a threat.

They are silent when that same religion sends two young men running into a fire.

The book they want to criticise is the same book that commands us to save a life.

"Whoever saves one life, it is as if he had saved all of mankind."
— Qur'an 5:32

Qayyum and Iqbal lived that verse on a Friday in Leeds.

Abdullah lived it in a Manchester classroom.

And the headlines recorded the act, but erased the faith that drove it.

When we are the suspect, our religion is the whole story.

When we are the rescuer, it is not worth a line.

Their names are Maysum Abdullah, Mohsin Qayyum, and Mohammed Yusuf Iqbal.

Muslim men.

Say both.

I am guessing photos from the World Cup will be in the next edition!

That’s the way it was back then!

This is fascinating. The BBC’s own scrutiny of its flagship TV News discusses its clear bias towards selective reporting of crimes committed by immigrants & asylum seekers and no one from the News team will defend it. What is going on behind the scenes?

Why propaganda and disinformation are essential to far right parties like Reform in a nutshell.

Exactly a month ago, 21:28 call from @fkhanage - "Emirates. NOW!"

Ran out the house without giving the wife any explanation...but she knew.

Finding @AFCMet and @WaynesWorld20_ outside the stadium. Then celebrating with @8T3_nawaz at Spice Hut on Holloway Road.

Genuinely a night I will NEVER forget for as long as I live.

[Filly ☘️ @fillypepper]

@TomTugendhat Fucking hell Tom you’ve got a short memory. You lot cut £12 billion during your first five years in office. Then a 25% reduction in the number of Royal Navy warships, a 50% cut to mine-hunting ships, and delays in upgrading the UK's nuclear deterrent.
Sit down!

An excellent, balanced but also factually accurate & no-punches-pulled two minute analysis by @robpowellnews of the Farage claim that Britain is a two-tier state against white people.

[Fraser Nelson @FraserNelson]

It's not just the exploitation of a tragedy.

JD Vance's picture of Britain - where migrants have led to a crime surge - is the opposite of the truth.

All announced policy

Spending on working age welfare has barely shifted as a fraction of national income in decades. True that spending on some incapacity and disability benefits is rising but others are being squeezed. Torsten is right. That is not what is pushing up total spending and taxes.

The Spitalfields Tea Dance is a free monthly lunchtime social dancing event held from 12.30 pm to 2.30 pm in the canvas-covered Crispin Place at Spitalfields. Market. Completely free to attend, with complimentary tea, coffee, and biscuits served around 1.30pm.

[Paul Johnson @PJTheEconomist]

This is brilliant. If you want to understand energy policy, why electricity is so expensive, and how and why climate policies contribute to that, have a listen. Perhaps the clearest explanation I’ve ever heard.
