This is awful from the referee/officials. More very poor stuff. Scotland still should have won, though. No getting away from that.

@jonesy_ That's enormously frustrating to hear. But huge well done to the Lib Dem candidate on massively increased share of the vote. 👏

Despairing at the 7,000 Beaconsfield Labour voters who, if they've voted tactically - logically, sensibly! - could have helped get rid of the Conservative MP. 🤦‍♂️

13 + 7 > 18

This sum is going to be annoying me for some time!

Good grief! England getting utterly demolished by South Africa right now. And perhaps not for the last time today...?! #ENGvRSA #CricketWorldCup #rugbyworldcup2023 #eng

#Ashes couldn't be going better for @englandcricket, as far as I'm concerned. We lost the First Test in 2005 after all. #BBCCricket

As a concession, I'm prepared to say we find out what kind of coronation it would have been if Charles had to pay for it... then we pay for *that* event. Or maybe go halves?

[Stephen Robb @stephen_robb]

Disgraceful.

I'm pretty indifferent on the monarchy... but spending all this public money on a do for a billionaire born into his wealth while nurses and teachers are having to strike for a wage they can live on (plus arresting peaceful protesters) seems so plainly wrong.

I’m a republican.

I accept I’m in the minority.

Enjoy the coronation.

But when they arrest people who’ve fully cooperated with the the authorities and have committed to peaceful protest, you shouldn’t be glad they won’t spoil your day. You should be very worried.

"The Foreign Office says ... people in Dr Babikar's situation are allowed to enter the UK but must make their own way there."

From Sudan?! Even by this government's abysmal standards, this feels like a new low.
