@StandardLifeUK Is there a problem with your online platform? I've not been able to log in for two days now

@Paris2024 I purchased some defective merchandise at the Games. I have tried to complain via your shop but they say they only deal with online purchases. Can you please assist? I’m not best pleased

@stephensackur @BBCHARDtalk Apart from the personal loss to you and the whole Hardtalk family, it’s painful to see the BBC destroying yet another world leading British asset. @lisanandy and @DavidLammy must surely intervene to save this cheap to produce show.

Today’s shocking Grenfell report calls to mind the hell of Robert Tressell’s 1912 masterpiece ‘The ragged trousered philanthropists’. Corruption, exploitation, the Great Money Trick. How little has changed in the lives of the most vulnerable in society.

@JamesCleverly Evidence?

[HOPE not hate @hopenothate]

Despite the horrific events in Southport this week, the local community have come together with brave acts of resistance.

Including this very brave woman who faced down the rioters.

[HOPE not hate @hopenothate]

🫶 We have seen people in Southport come together to condemn Tuesday night’s violence and stand in solidarity with their neighbours.

However, they must not be left to deal with this alone.

[Joe Mulhall @JoeMulhall_]

Just been on @BBCr4today discussing far right involvement and the role of racist mis/disinformation in last nights riot in Southport that came after Mondays horrifying knife attack. More details from @hopenothate later today.

@RupertLowe10 your moment to stand up for @issydhan and others looking to enjoy your town

[Issy Dhan @issydhan]

Taking the family away to Great Yarmouth on Saturday for a week and I am seriously seriously having doubts as to whether we should go.

We are British. We are Muslim.

Home Secretary @YvetteCooperMP's full statement on the violence and disorder in Southport.

[simon gallant @simongallant7]

@faizashaheen Ludicrous methodology and claims.

[simon gallant @simongallant7]

@daveatherton ‘Mass praying’ must have been distressing. We need more of those nice white folk with guns blasting our wildlife to smithereens.

[simon gallant @simongallant7]

Disturbing story. Shall look forward to hearing what efforts @BrewDog made to protect its former member of staff.

[Tribune @tribunemagazine]

EXCLUSIVE: Tribune can reveal that an Asian BrewDog employee was sacked after raising concerns about the presence of the EDL on the day of a far-right rally.

@AndyRejoinEU I think you’ll find there is a whopping public interest that trumps her right to keep an alleged bet secret.

@hannahweisfeld @hamzeAwawde @antisemitism After a good film with John Ware on Rogers Waters last year, they’ve reverted to the usual foaming at the mouth. First the baseless call to get rid of the Head of the Met, now this. CAA are bad news for Jews.

Spain has long struggled to come to terms with the pain of its civil war. Efforts to do so have now taken a disturbing, backward step in Mallorca.

[Nick Lloyd @Civil_War_Spain]

Today in Mallorcan parliament during debate to repeal historical memory law the speaker, member of far-right Vox, expelled 2 parliamentarians for displaying photo of Mallorcan communist + feminist Aurora Picornell, executed on the island in 1937, and ripped up her photo. Fascist

[simon gallant @simongallant7]

@Conservatives Can you give me the odds on that?

[Jim Waterson @jimwaterson]

Excl: Here's what happens if you scrape Betfair data for bets on a July election.

This graph cuts off at the end of 21 May, the day before Sunak announced the election.

There's a flood of bets that day - before Rishi formally told the cabinet and stood in Downing Street.

[simon gallant @simongallant7]

@antisemitism @glastonbury This is a serious misjudgement by CAA. @hamzeAwawde is an inspirational, empathetic human being who seeks a two state solution. If only there were more like him.
