@SkyCricket I've loved watching the pure talent and exploits of Ben Stokes over the years - he's Box Office
But today's utter debacle was like an episode of The Office
@TiceRichard Polls aren't votes. You're a party of 8 MP's. Many viewers think you get on QT far more often than your parliamentary representation deserves.
The end of an era - After almost a century we said goodbye this morning to our great companion of the airwaves Radio 4 198 LW. I shall miss her warmth and crackle. Here’s the final sign off at the end of #theshippingforecast before she fell silent… ❤️
Belfast knife attack suspect Hadi Alodid was granted asylum under a fast-track application scheme introduced by two of Nigel Farage's senior colleagues. It meant he'd only to complete a Home Office questionnaire rather than attend a face-to-face interview. https://t.co/DhOJSLSv8w
Today in the House of Commons REFORMUK MP Sarah Pochin was accosted and threatened by the Liberal Democratic MPfor Inverness , Skye and West Ross-Shire. Angus McDonald. Photo below. Unparliamentary behaviour both hostile and bullying from a male MP to a female MP. Ms Pochin was extremely disturbed by the incident. I have sent an email to Daniel Greenberg CB THE STANDARDS COMMISSIONER. ([email protected])
Should any other person be as horrified, as I am, by this MP’s behaviour, Please send the Commissioner an email of complaint.
Or write a letter etc.

@danielmgmoylan A peer who should be better informed apparently clueless to the concept of the "3rd country" when it comes to travel, now that we're out of the EU. He resorts to insults which isn't a great look...

Southampton kicked out of Championship play-off final for spying. Correct decision, especially as it transpires they spied on three clubs in total. This is about more than a bloke standing behind a tree with an iPhone. It’s about how seriously the game should take cheating. EFL independent disciplinary commission have struck a blow for fair play, for integrity, for the need for respect between clubs, for coaches to have an expectation of privacy in training. 25% of goals scored in the Championship this season were from set-pieces. Clubs practised them. Understandably, coaches don’t want their plans revealed. EFL sending a strong message with this punishment.
Spygate 2 different from Spygate 1. Rules tightened and punishments introduced since Leeds United’s offence. Appeals, of course. It’s tough for Southampton fans to be denied the trip to Wembley and the chance of a return to the Premier League. It’s particularly tough that many have forked out for tickets, travel and accommodation. Their frustration and anger should be directed at their club. Southampton should recompense fans. It’s not the fans’ fault.
The stupidity in all this is that Southampton would probably have beaten Boro anyway. Better team, stronger bench. But this is so damning… “Southampton admitted breaches of Regulations requiring Clubs to act with the utmost good faith and prohibiting the observation of another Club’s training session within 72 hours of a scheduled match,” says EFL. “The admitted breaches concern fixtures against Oxford United in December 2025, Ipswich Town in April 2026 and Middlesbrough in May 2026.” So the punishment is proportionate. It should act as a deterrent. Honesty matters.
@FBAwayDays Southampton are banged to rights, having admitted to other offences at Oxford & Ipswich - so this wasn't an "accidental" one-off.
Southampton should reimburse all expenses already incurred by their fans who will have receipts for trains; hotels etc...
An Independent Disciplinary Commission has today expelled Southampton from the Sky Bet Championship Play-Offs after the Club admitted to multiple breaches of EFL Regulations related to the unauthorised filming of other Clubs’ training.
In addition, the Club has received a four-point deduction that will be applied to the 2026/27 Championship table.
The effect of today’s order is that Middlesbrough are reinstated into the 2026 Play-Offs and will proceed to the Play-Off Final against Hull City. The final remains scheduled for Saturday 23 May, with the kick-off time to be confirmed.

99.9% of voters on May 7th will have the chance to vote for Reform.
This is another phenomenal achievement for our party.
Vote Reform. Get Starmer Out.
