The scale of despair in the country and Starmer gets involved in this issue. FFS !

[Politics UK @PolitlcsUK]

🚨 WATCH: Keir Starmer launches an attack on FIFA for banning refillable water bottles at the World Cup

"It's just wrong... and I can't help but think that it's about making money. The tickets themselves cost a fortune - far too expensive in my view. Think of the fans"

Raymond, we lost our dog 18 months ago and my wife still misses him greatly.

[Raymond Gray @raymondgray63]

@JohnNicholRAF @Ralph_Retriever @seandilleyNEWS As @seandilleyNEWS says so eloquently says they give so much and ask for so little. Sleep tight Sammy. 💔

There are shite comedians that are charging way more than you.

[Kevin Bridges @kevinbridges86]

Interesting but we’re clearly talking about FIFA and their World Cup tickets costing over a grand. Nobody said anything about away tickets in Scotland.

Hang in there @plarrazabal

“It’s not easy to not think about the cut. The last cut I made was in Qatar, the first week of February. I’m coming here with eight missed cuts in a row and suddenly it doesn’t matter how many golf tournaments you’ve played in your career, I started shaking.

“This is how tough this game is and how ugly it gets sometimes. Those four putts on the 5th hole were all about shaking, I couldn’t make it in the hole. The second putt was shorter than 2ft and it didn’t even touch the hole.

“This is my 19th season out here, I have a family to support and I have a kid to take care of. Out of the 480 tournaments I’ve played in my career, the first five and these last five, I have been thinking about money and that’s not easy to play with.”

Nine-time DP World Tour winner Pablo Larrazábal reflects on a tough season as he currently sits on the cut-line on his 480th appearance 🗣️

FFS !

[Jason Groves @JasonGroves1]

No 10 says that 'broadly' the PM expects his ministers to tell the truth. But suggests it does not apply in this case as Jones's team are claiming he did not have access to his messages and had misremembered them

Hopefully not the prawns !

Outstanding piece of advice from Sun Tzu.

[Stuart Crawford @509298]

I don't know who is advising @JohnSwinney on his media comms atm but he/she/it is making a complete pig's ear of it. But as Sun Tzu said, "Never interrupt an opponent while he is in the middle of making a mistake". 😳🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 @ReformUKScot @theSNPMedia @ScottishLabour @ScotTories

Chris, how would you describe @darrenpjones ?

[Chris Bryant @RhonddaBryant]

So far today I’ve been called a seedy cunt, a wanking grifter, a poof, a shitty poof, Mr Humphries (sic), a bumboy and an ugly bumboy.
All before breakfast.
Happy Pride month folks. 🌈

[David McLaren @mcl38]

Yep.

[(((Dan Hodges))) @DPJHodges]

This is what drives people up the wall with Labour:

a) Every Minister, from Starmer down, mouths the platitude "our priority must be Epstein's victims".

b) Mandelson is forced to resign because of his friendship with Epstein

c) Darren Jones sends Mandelson a sycophantic, fawning message AFTER his relationship with Epstein is fully exposed.

d) Darren Jones literally goes on national television and lies about sending that message.

e) Darren Jones lies are finally exposed themselves.

f) Jones "allies" then start roaming around, briefing the media HE is the victim.

g) Jones carries on in post as if nothing has happened

[David McLaren @mcl38]

Outstanding analysis from someone who knows what they are talking about. @TheBorisBecker falls into the same category.

[The Tennis Letter @TheTennisLetter]

Andre Agassi on Jannik Sinner's loss at Roland Garros:

"I know he can play for five and half hours, he's proven it. I know he's the best player on the planet right now. But, I know there's no excuse for him to run into a wall at an hour & forty-five."

I could do with the app to predict the crap weather here in Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[Henry Winter @henrywinter]

England have access to sophisticated weather apps which forecast exactly when thunderstorms will hit Palm Beach Gardens where they train. Scattered thunderstorms forecast for this afternoon. More due on Monday and Tuesday. Significant problem last time England here (before 2014 World Cup) when training and games were disrupted. #ENG

@darrenpjones What is your response now ?

Ian, This is when I regularly watched this Hibs team. Unimaginable that years later Alex Cropley would became a good friend of mine.
