@ConorMcFall How many lives did getting treaty of Versailles wrong cost? European treaties Utrecht, Vienna, Rome provide the backdrop to stability in Europe. Brexit is nationalistic xenophobic isolationist. It aligns us with the rise of the far right in EU. Where does that end?

I am #XTwitter .The everything app sounds like hell. After 14 years I'm gone. App deleted from phone. Will spend week getting names I want to track on other platforms. Any suggestions on shortcuts of downloading useful data.

Dear @MetPoliceEvents
I would ask that you take this tweet down bearing in mind that there is an ongoing investigation and you risk prejudice to that investigation and/ or trial

@robertofmercia I have to admit I am a convert. A traditionalist but loving it. Just don't get me started on the hundred.

@NotTheHundred Stolen our sport, grounds,players and August. Now they steal the momentum of an amazing summer of cricket and hand it back to football in the middle of summer.
I hate THE BUMDREAD

[Greg @gregduffield]

@thehundred Give me back my August. Cricket has been stunning this summer. Now it all stops for some teams with no history, no rivalry, no records, no loyalty,no fans to earn some cash playing
THE BUMDREAD

Okay guys, maybe there's room for one last Indiana Jones movie.

Apparently there are quite a lot of deleted tweets like this. But even if some of the details are wrong and no crime was committed, it’s all in the public interest, says Harry

I am not sure if anyone cares
what a 26 year old with autism
and special needs has to say,
but I want to help inspire others.
I lost both my parents when
I was 18. I was attacked
and bullied.
But it hasn’t broken me.

Can you retweet this
if you care what I have to say?

@TheCricketerMag @GeorgeDobell1 4 gens of my family watched Essex in August, Will London Spirit fans still be with you in 100 years. Will my grandson ever watch a live 100 game. Not till he's old enough to take himself ( maybe 12 years) Bedfordshire Essex in August is cricket. London Spirit is a scam.

[Andy McDonald MP for Middlesbrough & Thornaby East @AndyMcDonaldMP]

Sainsbury's CEO Simon Roberts total pay for 2022/23 was £4.9m.

On a 40 hour week, that's over £2k/hour.

His lowest-paid workers earn just £11/hour.

I asked how on earth that's justifiable, especially during a cost of living crisis.

The silence was deafening.

[Martin Chandler @MartinChanpex]

As a kid I always looked forward to Essex being on the tellybox, solely due to this man, Keith Boyce, fine fast bowler, aggressive batsman and a truly spectacular outfielder with a fantastic throw - his was a sad decline though and he died far too young, on his 53rd birthday 😟

@EssexCricket A lot better than Dan Lawrence.

I think there should be formal divorce ceremonies where the registrar says:
“Do you take this person to be your lawfully unwedded ex?” and you reply “Adieu”.
