@Philrhyl @MrChrisFoy Should haaland not have received a yellow as well?

[Tom Edwin-Reed @tmgreed]

Genuine question for @HACKETTREF if he has seen Isak’s goal & injury from a genuine but slightly late tackle from Van Der Ven.
1. Should Van Der Ven have been booked?
2. Should it have been a penalty if the goal hadn’t been scored?

@StickToCricket Enjoyed the episode and agree that need 90 + overs in a day. I would suggest making sessions 2 1/2 hours long. In England 10:30 to 1; 1:30 to 4 and 4:30 to 7.

@LFC All the best for the future Caoimhin and show how good a keeper you are.

@centregoals I would actually go and say both Trent’s and Mo’s passes were sublime.

Amazing success for the sports fund of the national lottery which have led to all of the Olympics since 2000 being more successful than any since 1924.

Remembering the Centennial Olympics in Atlanta in 1996 when Team GB 🇬🇧 won one gold 🥇 through Steve Redgrave & Matt Pinsentt and 15 medals in total.

We have now reached just passed 60 medals for the 4th consecutive games (and over 50 for 5 consecutive games)
1/2

Listening to this weeks @RestIsPolitics question time about the undercover Russian spy family. Proves the Americans TV series was based on some truth @RoryStewartUK @campbellclaret

I think my little one will get a bigger hug today when I pick her up from her not too dissimilar holiday activity today.

Hearts going out to the families of the deceased.

[Tom Edwin-Reed @tmgreed]

Hearing that another girl lost her life overnight after the attack in Southport, is so heartbreaking. This girl was the same age as my daughter and it’s unimaginable what the parents and friends of the deceased are going through.

Lovely morning watching the men’s hockey team beat Spain and see the first medal 🥉 for team GB 🇬🇧 #TeamGB #ParisOlympics2024

@mikegalsworthy His speech is gracious & what we should expect from one of our senior politicians. Unfortunately his two immediate predecessors would be unable to do.
I think it is a shame he is stepping down as leader as given the chance he could lead the party’s sensible wing in rebuilding

Birmingham, the night of the count.
Labour’s Jess Phillips is announced the winner on stage for Yardley. In an attempt to get a photo of the candidates on stage, am standing among a throng of men on the counting hall floor supporting the workers party candidate.
They boo Jess, cat-call and chant the candidate’s name over and over as if it is a boxing match. They try to drown out her voice. It is ugly and it is shameful.
As I extricate myself from the pack I shake my head in anger. There is nothing elegant in this brazen show of misogyny and bullishness.
Shabana Mahmood gets the same treatment. Both women show defiance yet overall, it is an unpleasant, unnecessary and degrading experience.
Elsewhere in Britain, post-election speeches were demonstrations of grace in defeat, and humility in success.
As it should be.
We aren’t tribal like America. We aren’t quick to protest like France. Sometimes we might admire the more direct approach of other countries.
Yet I love our restraint. The passion is there. Reservoirs of it. But the speeches often follow unwritten protocols that show honour and valour almost to the point that the victor becomes indiscernible.
Democracy is something to value and treasure. As Brits, I think we value it, although the disappointing turnout gives cause for concern.
Isn’t it a prize that our individual vote counts every bit as much as the Prime Minister? Isn’t that fantastic?
The workers party claimed to stand for Palestine. A cause I sympathise with, and one that deserves the attentions of the media. Hyped up and militant at 5am, it was clear that the main aim of the male group was to disabuse others of a respectful election. Particularly the female candidates.
Jess shook hands with all candidates after the announcement. All except one. The workers party candidate refused her, which was received with cheers for him and jeers for Jess from his swarm of supporters.
Surely a candidate standing on a single-issue platform, to improve conditions for Palestinian people, would appreciate the opportunity to build a bridge with his local MP. He could have used that opportunity to progress the cause.
Suffragists fought hard for voting rights just over a hundred years ago. Anyone who values women’s rights should be concerned by activities that seek to block their access to democratic choice.
There was overt and covert misogyny in this election. It needs investigating and fixing. If women don’t have voting rights, then we don’t have a democracy.

@jessphillips Shows what good work can be done in cross party campaigns where decent members work on what they agree on for the good of the country. Keep up the good work.

[Tom Edwin-Reed @tmgreed]

Although I don’t always agree with her, Jess Phillips is a politician I admire and should not have to put up with the boos she received. I am glad she retained her seat. We are a peaceful democracy & differing views should be respected.
