@henrywinter Good. Let’s hope they clamp down on this in the premier league next year. Just a shame that Tuchel chose an “anti-football” with the express purpose of beating teams through set pieces.

@thematrixb0t Absolute conspiracy-theorist nonsense.

[Mark Newman @marknewman]

@sw_train been waiting at Clapham junction for 30 minutes. No train, no announcement, nothing. Absolute shambles.

[Mark Newman @marknewman]

@BritishTennisUp @the_LTA Absolute nonsense. Jack played fine. It was all about Opelka today.

@BenKentish @RachelReevesMP Just think how many of our best doctors are going to go and live abroad to avoid paying back their loans. Those left behind end up paying for a graduate who ups sticks and leaves.

[Mark Newman @marknewman]

@sophielouisecc It's not about whether you should pay for your degree. It's about paying obscene rates of interest on your loan. And this is going to hurt UK PLC. Graduates are moving abroad to avoid the 69% marginal tax rate leaving others to effectively pay for their education.

@JamesMelville Our GDP has declined by 6% as a result of Brexit. I bet this wasn’t mentioned in the article.

[Mark Newman @marknewman]

@OliDugmore Well said. The principle of student loans isn't the problem, it is the outrageous interest rates that are being applied.

@MailSport What a thoroughly unpleasant comment, from a journalist working for a thoroughly unpleasant newspaper. Why don't you do your job properly and focus on the corruption and rule breaking from "elite" clubs and administrators?

I am not a Labour voter but what Trump says about Sadiq Khan is rubbish. He keeps pushing the line that London is broken and that Khan is to blame.

I live here. I do not just stick to the west of the city where I live, I move around and see it as a whole. London is alive, busy, and brilliant. It is nothing like the picture painted by Trump or the right.

Trump is not confused, he knows what he is doing. He plays up division because it suits him. The truth is that London’s strength comes from the mix of people who call it home. Different cultures, faiths, beliefs and backgrounds all live side by side. That is what makes the city powerful and wonderful, and why I think it is the best city in the world.

And whilst I do not vote for Sadiq in London, I believe he is a decent man, a man of principle, and that counts for far more than the sneering right who shout down any good he does for their own political gain.

Daily Mail say today we need Farage and Reform to save the country. A reminder of the role the Mail played in getting us into this mess.

So, @SW-Help, you cancel the penultimate train from Portsmouth to London this evening because of “staff shortages” and then the last train is a three-hour rail replacement service arriving at 2am. I’m assuming you will be reimbursing my uber fare.

[Mark Newman @marknewman]

@lucylocket1700 Jesus wept. You think he's gone away and analysed UK energy costs and the viability of North Sea oil exploration? You do realise that a) it would take several years to exploit any oil that is available and b) the oil would be sold on international markets at international prices.

[Mark Newman @marknewman]

@DrEliDavid Measuring the origin of emissions is misleading. The west has outsourced a huge amount of manfacturing to China. The emissions are a function of what we consume.

[Mark Newman @marknewman]

@realsb4feelings I take ferries between Britain and France regularly and I can assure you that this is absolutely not happening. Absolute nonsense.

[Mark Newman @marknewman]

@Nigel_Farage What @Nigel_Farage is most upset about is that the British and French government are working together to find a political solution. He has no answers - he just wants to exploit the situation for his own benefit.

[Mark Newman @marknewman]

@JamesCleverly It's not meant for people like you. Stop weaponising and help sort out your Party.

[Mark Newman @marknewman]

Top two British men playing @QueensTennis in a half empty stadium. What a disgrace - corporates denying genuine fans the chance to see Jack Draper.

[Mark Newman @marknewman]

@stevejarrett @orange Thanks for the briefing with Laurent, really interesting.

@ShadowbannedRep @AmbJohnBolton Did it matter when Germany invaded Poland in 1939?
