On the left, though wondering exactly where; history, sport and television bore.

I knew Margaret Thatcher well. Her judgement of people was usually good, but she took an unaccountable liking to Jimmy Savile & invited him to stay at Chequers several years running. Would the vice-chair of the Conservative Party accuse her of providing a safe haven for perverts?

Getting a bit fed up of hearing: "well the #ICEC report doesn't reflect MY experience of cricket". That's nice for you, but you do realise the report is grounded in real lived experiences? Maybe check your privilege and have a go at listening.

[Tim Curry @NotTheTimCurry]

Indeed. I’m actually choosing not to die for this very reason.

A quote for our times...

It's strange how Suella Braverman says here that 4,000 people have received Windrush compensation when the actual figure is only 1,681 - much lower.

The press office says she made a mistake

But this was the most important figure for the interview

The #Ashes should be on terrestrial tv. Imagine the viewing figures. Incredible action from both teams

[TheYoungOnes @youngonesfan]

39 years ago today, after just 2 series and 12 episodes, #TheYoungOnes reached the end of the road

This is brilliant @LFC 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[Jessica Ransom @jess_ransom]

🎺🎺 There’s a brand new #HorribleHistories Father’s Day Special out tomorrow, 17:30 @cbbc in which my ACTUAL SON plays my LITTLE BROTHER and absolutely nobody found that confusing.

Sacked, resigned, survived,
Sacked, resigned, lied.

Boris Johnson would have been suspended for 90 days, which is, let’s not forget, nearly 2 whole Truss terms.

[Paul Brand @PaulBrandITV]

Remember that this is the *third* investigation into partygate.

Boris Johnson is asking us to believe that the police, civil service and privileges committee have all wronged him. That there were no parties, no breaking of guidance/rules, and no misleading of parliament by him.

[The King of Blackadder 👑🇬🇧 @pitchblacksteed]

Today is #Blackadder's 40th anniversary. I am 40 followers short of the 50,000 milestone, be a great day to hit it. So the question is: Are you going to RT this tweet to help me get there or do you want your heads cut off?

[Marc Morris @Longshanks1307]

#OnThisDay 1215 King John issued Magna Carta, promising to govern within the law.
"He was a very bad man," said one contemporary chronicler. "Whenever he could he told lies rather than the truth."
"No man may trust him," said another, "for his heart is soft and cowardly."

[paul bassett davies @thewritertype]

Disability is a spectrum: we are all, at different times, more able, or less able, physically, emotionally, mentally. We need help to begin our lives, and to reach the end. To scapegoat the disabled is to scapegoat humanity, and is deeply ignorant.

[Zoe Gardner @ZoeJardiniere]

I am angry & ashamed that we’re unlikely to see a single politician in the news today reacting positively to net migration figures.

Please speak up to show they don’t represent us!

Think of our migrant friends, neighbours & family enduring another day of this rubbish. #r4today

[Stephen Reardon @stephen_reardon]

Blimey. Watching an ITV3 repeat of Foyle's War. Laurence Fox is playing a young racist inadequate Brit during the Second World War, whose twisted world view leads to tragic consequences.

[Stephen Reardon @stephen_reardon]

@sophwors9672213 Thanks a lot. I've done it now. The waiting resumes and the anxiety goes on.

[Stephen Reardon @stephen_reardon]

So the waiting resumes. #costoflivingpayment
