Conservative MP Kevin Hollinrake says the #PostOfficeScandal will cost the taxpayer around £1,000,000,000

He then says that Fujitsu will pay a proportion of this

Given that Fujistsu are responsible for this, why is the tax payer contributing? Shouldn't Fujitsu pay the full compensation bill?

I'm confused- if immigrants need £38k+ to live in UK, why are the state pension & minimum wage so much lower than that?

The ECB are running a course for current and aspiring umpires. The course is designed to give new umpires the key skills, knowledge, and confidence to stand as an umpire in cricket. To find out more information and to book, see the below link 👇

@ITVTonight @RachTownsendITV I was diagnosed with Sleep Apnea over 11 years ago, the only reason for this was I fell asleep while driving home from work one night, but fortunately the hard shoulder woke me up and probably saved my life.

Who remembers receiving their wages in these brown envelopes?

Picturesque ground is not the word, you have to experience it to appreciate it.

Hey @BorisJohnson, thought I’d do a survey to help you read the room.

A simple question:
Should Stanley Johnson (Boris Johnson’s father) receive a knighthood?

Outside of Dickie Bird, for many fans the world over, Kiwi Billy Bowden is one of the most popular umpires. A lovely article describing how he still continues despite suffering from arthritis. Shame there aren't more characters like him on the circuit!

In June 2017 309 MPs voted to give nurses a proper pay rise. 323 MPs voted against it, including every Tory MP except one.

When the result of the vote was announced & the Tories found they had succeeded in blocking the nurses pay rise, they cheered.

Never liked the guy and by saying this confirmed my intuition why I don’t like this guy who is looking after himself and not his constituents. I hope his constituents remember all this next time they go to vote.

There's been a big response to @peter_levy's interview with Sir Edward Leigh last night. The MP for Gainsborough is calling for an end to the triple lock on pensions.

RETWEET if you detest Jacob Rees-Mogg.

@bbctms Not within the Spirit of the Game, the bowler deceived the batsman, but why didn’t the Indian Captain withdraw the Appeal.
Not a good day for Cricket and especially in Womens Cricket which has been exemplary within the last few years. 🥲😭
