@montie @KemiBadenoch And we see you Tim, sadly we see you ...

@TheNewsAgents @maitlis @jonsopel 2 tier politicising ...

@henrywinter … and all the talk of what they ‘deserved’ and how he knew exactly what the club stood for…

[Ian Hamlin @iansabbath]

@henrywinter He did know, that’s why they went covertly. The staff knew, that’s why they told him. He made them go anyway.

[Ian Hamlin @iansabbath]

@SouthamptonFC Is that supposed to help?
Deserved ? Where the club belongs? From day 1 I knew what the club stood for…
… then proceeded to rip up all those values and pressure my young staff into cheating.
Taking full responsibility …. Hmmmm

@GuidoFawkes A reminder as to where Tories think the Tax Payers hard earned cash ought to be diverted ....

[Ian Hamlin @iansabbath]

@atptour Still fighting over there?

[Ian Hamlin @iansabbath]

@TheNewsAgents @jonsopel I like that line, but maybe there is something structurally awry, that it points to. If radicalism requires an element of risk, and, when markets rule, any risk is regarded as dangerous, and therefore not ‘sensible’, we end up stuck.

@simon_schama So, we’ve 2. historically suffering, countries beginning with I here. A sports guy from one of them is criticised as a monster for something his country did 80 years ago. But to criticise anyone from the other for what their government did 5 mins ago is heinous racism? I’m lost.

@TheExiledRobin Could it not just be a defensive point that it need not be a disaster to appoint around that time, it’s been done before, notwithstanding anything that’s gone on in advance. Manning going/No 1 candidate pulling out, end of May, beginning of June, arguably not so different 🤷🏻‍♂️

@trussliz Thankfully, the 'Truss era' did nothing at all.

[Ian Hamlin @iansabbath]

@lewis_goodall Thoughtful as ever, & surely right. Arguably, the need to protect & enfranchise those that AI threatens, like capitalism, the market & globalisation before it, is the central purpose of politics in our age. Sure as hell, as Blair points out, it doesnt need its support or consent.

@cjcg_bcfc @ChrisJCooper92 @BCFC_Supporters Indeed, lots of assumptions being made there …

@alex_crook @talkSPORT Guess some folk are happy to stay No 2

[Ian Hamlin @iansabbath]

@TheExiledRobin They’re welcome to him

[Ian Hamlin @iansabbath]

@FevsFootball @OSIBPODMAG Am sure it’s right to see him as part of that bigger whole, Ellis’s presence in particular brings support and ballast to what otherwise might’ve been a much more exposing gamble.

[Ian Hamlin @iansabbath]

@montie Sorry Tim, I don’t believe you. Your candidate at the last by-election was very clear, integration is impossible. Ethno-nationalism, keeping Britain white and grifting a few quid from the vested interests you might pander to is about as far as your project goes.

@michaelwhite Little more than a pamphlet for its owners interests, any broadcaster or other journalist that takes them seriously can also be safely ignored

@MrHarryCole Finally, a Brexit benefit!

@GuidoFawkes pass the salt Guido!
