Our country needs to hear this right now…

This is Jonathan Miller taking on Enoch Powell

Calling out the baselessness of racial fear and hatred

…and we need our leaders to follow suit.

I covered #England under 10 managers, including some caretakers, very august names and figures among them. Not one of them achieved what #GarethSouthgate has, some with potentially exceptional sides in 98, 06 and 10.
(Venables might have, but couldn't swallow his pride and do a Euro 96 'audition', though it was really the FA suits fault for insisting he did.)
Worth remembering too, that England failed to qualify for a Euros and three World Cups in the 70s, 80s and 90s.
Not only is Southgate's record of achievement quite brilliant, he did it with enlightenment, by developing and empowering young men, showcasing them as shining representatives of a diverse and - largely - tolerant nation, partly bolstering a nation's self-esteem in some dark years and ridding the national team of a world-weariness.
There are those who called him woke. He certainly woke English football. The 'Dear England' letter was a masterstroke.
There were mistakes, moments he missed, opportunities that slipped through his fingers. He will surely reflect on them more than anybody.
They are not for today, nor does today belong to those who have been vilifying this most honourable, articulate and steadfast of men for perceived failures that really aren't.
Today is for him to be assured that those who have any realistic sense of English football's history and standing, and who appreciate a return to being able to hold heads high, are humbly grateful for his eight years of inspired, yeoman service.

I hope Graham Taylor is looking down at
the result and thinking “Do I like that” 😉

Watch this it’s fascinating - I asked James Timpson what he’d do about prisons and sentencing if he was in charge. He believes only a third of prisoners in jail should definitely be there. He’s now in charge of prisons (but not sentencing).

The reaction here from Andy Burnham is delicious 😂😂

And another (far more important) thing while I’ve got your attention…

Analysis from some of the England fans leaving the stadium early.

[Liverpool FC @LFC]

The thoughts and support of everyone at Liverpool FC are with our legendary former captain Alan Hansen, who is currently seriously ill in hospital.

[@forgottengoals @forgottengoals]

What a ball playing centre half Alan Hansen was. Love this build up to John Aldridge's goal for Liverpool at Man United #lfc @KingKennyStand @Anfield_Talk

[James Hogg @JamesAHogg2]

Can't believe it's ten years to the day since the mighty Rik Mayall left us. Couldn't we just do with him now!

I've posted this before, of course, because it's f*cking brilliant.

Behold, Rik Mayall's five mantras for life.

[Mark Littler @littler_mark]

@Upton_Blues Just unplayable the season he got injured, the night matches under lights . I was probably 11 yes old, going to the game with me dad, I'll take those happy memories to my grave , fabulous player 👏👏

[Football Away Days @FBAwayDays]

Luton manager going round the stadium clapping the Luton and Bournemouth fans to thank them for their support after Luton player Tom Lockyer collapsed on the pitch, forcing the game to be abandoned.

A touching moment, fingers crossed the lad is ok! 🙏❤
