@Peston Would love to have heard what your expectations were 2.5 years ago.

[Adam Keys @adamkeys_]

£100m Jack Grealish scored his first goal in over a year today; a penalty against Solford City, but people will tell you that #Arsenal messed up by spending £65m on Kai Havertz who scored 21 and got seven assists during that time. Media narratives are wild. #AFC

Wow! Must watch car crash interview with Nadine Dorries

Nadine Dorries, "I'm a victim of child sexual abuse as well, through the Church of England"

Victoria Derbyshire, "When did you realise you wanted another inquiry?"

ND, "When the call came for one"

VD, "From Elon Musk?"

ND, "I wasn't aware the problem was as widespread as it was... The inquiry was more further reaching than the grooming gangs.. A national inquiry on the grooming gangs and the people who knew"

VD, "So why didn't the Conservatives do that?"

ND, "That's a good question"

VD, "You were in government"

ND, "No, I was Culture Secretary, this didn't go anywhere near my desk"

VD, "You were sat around the cabinet table"

ND, "The entire time I was in cabinet this was never discussed"

VD, "Why?"

ND, "I.. I.."

VD, "Because there are a number of Conservatives who were in government who are calling for it now"

ND, "I can't answer the question.. A good person who can answer the question would be Suella Braverman and Priti Patel"

VD, "There's no record of you speaking in the parliamentary chamber about any of the local inquiries or ever calling for a national inquiry"

ND, "You don't have to stand up in the chamber and speak about something to support something.. I attended meetings in committee rooms"

VD, "Tomorrow the Conservatives are calling for another inquiry.. That's despite the Conservatives setting up that 7 year £200 million independent inquiry on child sexual abuse.. And then the Conservative government didn't implement any of the 20 recommendations.. Isn't calling for another one the very definition of political opportunism?"

ND, "Frequently inquiries take place and none of the recommendations are implemented"

VD, "The same people who didn't implement those recommendations calling for another inquiry, isn't that the definition of political opportunism?"

ND, "Its a definition of what we need to do to fix how government deals with inquiries"

VD, "You had 14 years to do that"

ND, "Dealing with recommendations made from people outside of Westminster, the people who put them in place are civil servants"

VD, "So it's the civil servants fault?"

ND, "No, what I'm saying your dealing with something outside of the normal processes so maybe it can't be delivered by government"

VD, "Well the Conservatives didn't deliver any of the 20 recommendations"

Narrator: Nadine Dorries blames the process for why the Conservatives didn't deliver, while Labour use the process to start delivering, make it make sense

@WaddleandSilvy That literally makes sense that the first round is the same setting and same playing field for all. How is this even remotely a big deal?!!

[John McTernan @Johnmcternan]

Here’s what the inquiry report said:

[Charles Watts @charles_watts]

"He gave the ref no other choice........."

[Arsenal Family @arsenalfami1y]

A reminder that this is NOT a penalty!

[Luke Mather @matherlu]

@clayharbs82 What is he doing on offense????????????!

[Luke Mather @matherlu]

@sam_golf Edddddieee P

[Luke Mather @matherlu]

@DannyParkins 12-15

[Luke Mather @matherlu]

@danorlovsky7 Must be a great feeling to be so right about everything and so confident about every opinion!

[Luke Mather @matherlu]

@clayharbs82 Having a top 5 QB helps!

[Luke Mather @matherlu]

@ChaseDaniel “Greatness”. The over reaction and the certainty of opinion when anointing rookie QBs never ceases to amaze me.

[DaBearsBlog @dabearsblog]

I honestly can’t remember a more underrated season from a rookie QB than Caleb’s. Has everyone completely lost perspective?

[Luke Mather @matherlu]

@WestSportsPT @danorlovsky7 It’s the season where if you got something right during draft season we have to hear it loudly ad nauseam. It’s a massive turn off.

[Luke Mather @matherlu]

@danorlovsky7 This is the dull part of season where people who were pro him during draft season go wildly overboard and vice versa. He was and is great, he also threw two awful interceptions.

[Luke Mather @matherlu]

@Brett_leverton @Carra23 It’s so funny. Liverpool fan says one of their best players should stay because…..the fans like him.

[YankeeGunner 🏆 @YankeeGunner]

what does VAR do? One day they're rubber stamping a shit call like this. The next day they're turning a challenge on the halfway line into a red from a yellow. VAR is a bunch of accountants applying the "letter of the law" except where violence is concerned

[Adam Keys @adamkeys_]

The problem here was that Estupiñan didn’t trip his man 40 yards from goal. Instead he just almost broke his leg. The PGMOL has prioritised technicalities over player safety, and it gets worse.

[chief 🏆 @aliladiere]

Jamie Carragher “Winning 5-1 here is great but Mikel Arteta needs to start winning trophies now”

I must have missed the bit where a trophy was available during this game today. Absolutely pathetic child like FT commentary from Carragher today.
