@Sofia50020Sofia It’s really not. Squash, snooker, pool, billiards, cricket, rounders, tennis, padel, real tennis, hyrox table tennis. Sure there are loads more!

@DPJHodges Are we now in ‘Countdown’ to the Burnham premiership?

@BillieJeanKing @Lachlan_Edi @Venuseswilliams Two titans of tennis. I admire and adore you both!

I was surprised when Jeremy Clarkson texted me on Boxing Day to say how much he liked my @paddypower ad urging men to get tested for prostate cancer. Now I understand.
I wish my old sparring partner all the best with his treatment. Guys, have a PSA test, it may save your life.

@joannaccherry This Scot living in exile in England absolutely loves this.

A Green councillor called Hamas founders "martyrs".

The Lib Dems made him cabinet member for children and families.

Birmingham deserves answers.

I’m not going to amplify Reform’s ad by sharing it, but the wilful misrepresentation of Kemi Badenoch - selectively quoting what she said about ‘white lives matter’ - is disgraceful and dangerous.

It needs to be challenged, including by those of us who are not Conservatives.

[Will Hutton @williamnhutton]

This Burnham campaign video deserves a retweet (and many more). Take a look at the vast (shady) money and professional media operation behind Reform. It’s going to be an existential battle.Wherever you stand on the Labour leadership, this seat must be won.

🟣 MAKERFIELD: I suspect Robert Kenyon won't last long as Reform candidate. When Kenyon stood here in 2024, the anti-fascist group Searchlight tweeted he was Facebook friend of Gary Raikes, leader of New British Union, reincarnation of Oswald Mosley's British Union of Fascists

@KarlTurnerMP @UKLabour @AndyBurnhamGM And I hope @AndyBurnhamGM, when he’s PM, lets you come home to your Labour family.

@soniasodha I do not understand the Labour Party, and I say that as someone who’s been a member of it most of my adult life.

[GeoffonX @geoffonX]

@soniasodha If Labour Party members vote for Starmer over Streeting, they may as well be voting for the party’s dissolution.

@lewis_goodall And Farage tried 8 seats before winning Clacton, which I’m still not sure he’d be able to locate on a map.

ITV is filming a drama about Queen Elizabeth I that will portray her as a trans-identifying man who hid his sex and became queen. She will be played by a trans-identifying man, of course.

I am so tired of this sh!t. Any historical woman who stepped outside of the narrow gender roles men tried to force upon her gets transed, and this particular idea is even more insulting to women than portraying Elizabeth as a woman who secretly identified as a man.

Almost as insulting is the stupidity level of the entire premise. Had Elizabeth been born male, she’d have been Henry VIII’s immediate successor, Anne Boleyn wouldn’t have lost her head, and Jane Seymour would never have wed Henry or produced Edward. We’d also have avoided Bloody Mary. There would have been absolutely no reason to hide a male child’s sex from a king who so desperately wanted a male heir that he broke from the Church in an effort to secure one.

@Miss_Snuffy We have lost the art of nuance, of disagreeing respectfully, but a restoration is necessary. We can show empathy, understanding & appreciation without endorsement. If us liberal lefties understood this we would know those attending aren’t necessarily “bad people” & we can engage.

[GeoffonX @geoffonX]

@Miss_Snuffy I do not subscribe to view of Unite the Kingdom march, but if “liberals” sneer they are being authoritarian & people become alienated. Left wingers can start by listening to people who have different experiences & trying to understand concerns without being patronising 3/4
