I call upon the Western media to confirm or deny that the Maccabi football supporters, well before any skirmishes, were marching on the streets on Amsterdam chanting: "There are no schools in Gaza, there are no children left there. F-ck the Arabs." [They did!]

[Richard Sanders @PulaRJS]

Maccabi Tel Aviv fans were filmed chanting racist, genocidal slogans. They were also reportedly attacking local Muslims.

For the BBC to fail to mention this in its reporting of the violence in Amsterdam last night is disgraceful. Sky the same. /1

@Peston Course they can. Labour won on such a low vote share, their big majority has really weak foundations, so all the Tories need to do is persuade a decent chunk of Reform voters to come back by tacking even further to the right.

@BladeoftheS For 'the UK' read England, which has a proud record of being blissfully unaware of the difference between the two.

Kemi Badenoch: if you don't belong here and you're racist, you're not welcome but if you do belong here and you're racist, we don't give a stuff.

The left populism of the Greens? Yeah, taking the climate crisis seriously is pretty fringe...

[Paul Mason @paulmasonnews]

3/ Meanwhile there is strong apprehension among party activists, councillors and MPs... we are facing a challenge on two fronts - the left populism of the Greens and Muslim independents and the far right racism of Farage ... the original strategy to fight them didn't really work

@JMatt_62 Thanks. I'm afraid I tweeted for help because none of the taps I could see on YouTube look like mine. My problem is how to remove the lever to get to the inner workings and I can't find a video of the same type. 😭

[Alan MacDonald @macfoggald_alan]

Help! Swan neck tap dripping and can't see how to get the tap off to get into the valve. Wee screw in 2nd picture loosens but tap stays put. Cover unscrews but can't get at the inside without removing the unmemorable tap!

@MCleaver @Alex_McGinlay @RevRichardColes @BertDalziel Scottish urban housing is much more like France than it is like England.

@MrJohnNicolson No words.

@JohnMasonMSP @HeraldPols @AngusRobertson @DanielaGrudsky 'What Israel hopes to achieve in Gaza'? Seriously?

[Alan MacDonald @macfoggald_alan]

@danielmdirks @MassMediaEnjoyr @RonFilipkowski That's something of a non'sequitur. Sure, he's a deeply unpleasant person who mocks and belittles others instead of using substantial arguments, but here he crossed a line by mocking someone because they were disabled.

[Alan MacDonald @macfoggald_alan]

@danielmdirks @MassMediaEnjoyr @RonFilipkowski But the reporter was disabled and he was mocking the disability, not the reporter qua reporter.

[Alan MacDonald @macfoggald_alan]

@danielmdirks @MassMediaEnjoyr @RonFilipkowski We've all seen video footage of this revolting orange idiot doing this. This is just a still.

@RevRichardColes and it's born of a fundamental inability to understand that one can be motivated by anything other than greed.
