@tmsproducer Adam. Long time TMS listener. I have an SOS regarding a tragic fire on Monday that burnt down our clubhouse at @ChessingtonCC in Surrey! I’m at the Oval tomorrow and as cricket Chairman wondered if we could connect! Full details on our website and in local press! 🙏🏻

Useful tip

[Sachin Tendulkar @sachin_rt]

The first time I saw Anderson play was in Australia in 2002, and his control over the ball looked special.

Nasser Hussain spoke very highly of him back then and today, I am sure, he would say, “Maine bola tha” — that he had called it so early. 😀

700 test wickets is a stellar achievement. A fast bowler playing for 22 years and performing so consistently to be able to take 700 wickets would have sounded like fiction until Anderson actually made it happen. Simply magnificent!

"We can work with the bell curve or become the bell-ends"

This, by @scullyp, should end up in every dictionary of political quotations - and every lecture on Downs and the median voter.

Paula Vennells, CEO of Post Office, given CBE 2019 "for services to the Post Office and to charity"

Alan Bates has refused an OBE while she retained hers. #MrBatesvsPostOffice

For years Labour @KevanJonesMP has been officially asking for her CBE to be withdrawn.

Here is his SECOND letter to the Honours Forfeiture Committee 👏🏼👏🏼

The award of a CBE to Paula Vennells, "a person who resided over the widest miscarriage of justice in English legal history, is utterly wrong and deeply insulting to those who suffered prosecutions during her tenure."

We await the reply from a Committee which needs to pull its finger out.

How anyone can draw a line between art and politics or doubt the power of the arts to shape the National conversation. #MrBatesVsThePostOffice continues to trend for ALL the right reasons. Bravo to all involved in this immensely powerful drama.

We’ve had 4 nights of this.

4 nights of sheer frustration.
4 nights of sheer despair.
4 nights of sheer disgust for The Post Office & Fujitsu

Alan Bates has had over 20 YEARS.

He is incredible

Despite everything in #MrBatesVsThePostOffice:

🚩 Fujitsu still get multi-million contracts from Government.
🚩 More than 11,500 post offices use Horizon software today.
🚩 Government is yet to bring a civil case v Fujitsu to recoup £1bn cost of scandal.

Couldn’t agree more.

"I honestly did not see any good reason for the declaration. I just don't buy the argument that it put time back in the game."

@markbutcher72 wasn't a fan of England's declaration at Edgbaston 👎

Honestly, when we sent her in undercover, we never thought it would work this well. As we celebrate/mourn today 100 years since the last Liberal PM, Agent Liz is ensuring that the Conservatives now get their opportunity to have a century out of power…

[Simon Burge @SimonBurge]

This can’t be shared enough. This is it. This is the ball game. Nicely summarised @Peston. Shocking mismanagement that will now cost an absolute fortune.

Absolutely disgusting response from #Accessorizer @MonsoonUK following complaint made as my wheelchair bound daughter couldn’t access the children’s section of @Accessorize in Kingston. Lift had been broken a while … not seen as a problem! @sophmorgTV @EdwardJDavey @DisRightsUK
