@WG_RumblePants I'm envious. You're in for a great day's cricket. After Lord's, this is shaping into a proper test match. I hope you see one of the English Batsman take the game by the scuff of the neck and build a big innings.

@SarahForRuncorn In the build up last week's by-election, I had someone tell me Reform were not a racist party. Comments like this, coming from their MPs, proves that they most definately are.

[Simon Roche @simonproche]

@ReformDaily_ @ElectionMapsUK Over 2/3rd of voters reject Reform, as their support falls by 20% makes a hopeful headline.

@DavidWatts12 Reform on Notts County Council has voted to sell Broxtowe down the river and force us into the City Council. This is against what they said in their manifesto back in May, along with their broken promise to freeze council tax. It's time to stand up for Broxtowe.

@johnlbirch @gu41257530 @ElectionMapsUK I am one of the candidates, and I wouldn't want to have money on it. Labour won in 2023 by 12 votes from Lib Dems. The winning Labour councillor who passed away split from the party as part of Broxtowe Alliance. Throw Reform into the mix and add Tories and Independent.

@Heccles94 Nottingham UK - Originally Centreish, but these days, with the shifted Overton Window, regularly called a lefty.

[Simon Roche @simonproche]

@Conservatives But not as weak as the Leader of the Opposition.

Honestly, is this the best comment your party can put out? You really need to take a long hard look at yourselves. You are about to be pushed into extinction, on the right by Reform and on the left by the Lib Dems.

@Beardyface4 @PeaChannon @dlLambo @metpoliceuk After listening to a KC on the radio your logic is kind of right. He was saying Bob Vylan could use a similar defence too, because who in the audience at Glastonbury or watching on BBC had the army needed or even the ability to wage war on the IDF?

@NorthRacingClub @CDP1882 It says he works for GBNews in his profile. Judging by their output, I don't think proper research is something they are big on.

@icelandcricket @BorisKonijnbrg Thanks. You have another follower over there now! Hopefully we can all switch over there soon.

@AshrafRehm75574 @Ankananupamdash @bodhan11 @icelandcricket Don't worry, I keep an open mind and stick to facts and don't fall for the propoganda. I watched the Modi documentary on the BBC and have seen the iron control he likes to keep. Sadly, it was banned in India.

@g_gosden Thanks, just found and followed. Very close to ending my X account now.

@Ankananupamdash @bodhan11 @icelandcricket I agree there are terrorist elements in Pakistan, yet the average Pakistani is just trying to get through their day (the same as many) and has little to do with that. It was 'no one cares about Pakistan' that I was objecting to. If India don't want to go, that it is up to them.

[Simon Roche @simonproche]

@Billridley @scteviyah @BLAIMGame Some of it did seem crazy even at the time. We had all these new unthought through rules with some police not using common sense on enforcing them. Hence you had an old person getting in trouble for siting on a bench for a rest during their daily exercise.

[Simon Roche @simonproche]

@Ankananupamdash @bodhan11 @icelandcricket I appeciate the damage British colonialism did and your feelings towards Pakistan, I work with many Indians. I just hope we could leave politics on the boundry and enjoy the sport for what it is.

[Simon Roche @simonproche]

@bodhan11 @icelandcricket As an Englishman, I do, so not 'nobody'. Your point of view is subjective, not fact.

Every country that wants to play cricket should be respected. The love of our great game should unite people, not divide.

[Simon Roche @simonproche]

@CharlesTannock @LordRennard @HouseofCommons @UKHouseofLords @LibDemLords I think a few appointments are a good idea as long as they are experts in their field and can add value to bills that are being debated. They should not be there just because they are owed a favour by the current government.

@mikegalsworthy Hershey's can't even be called chocolate in Europe as has only 10% cocoa content. They really could do with making it higher as it may take away the taste of sick.

Their cheese can't be called cheese either. Even the FDA call it "Pasteurized Processed American Cheese Food".

@LawrenceTJ13 @davidvance The veterens who were there weren't there for trivial political point scoring. They were there to remember the fallen.

To turn your back when a wreath is being laid would be an insult to their memories.
