Ending my Twitter embargo to say this may actually be the best politician I have seen in my lifetime.
Sticks to his principles, engages a crowd, calls out the horrific governments around the world, and comes across as human in all media commitments. What a man.
Welker: Do you think that President Trump is a fascist?
Mamdani: That’s something that I’ve said in the past. I say it today.
Welker: You’ve called him a despot. Do you still believe President Trump is a threat to the democracy?
Mamdani: Everything that I’ve said in the past, I continue to believe.
Welker: How do you square working with someone who you still think is a threat to the democracy?
Mamdani: I think working for the people of New York City demands that you work with everyone and anyone—and that you always look to find those areas of agreement while not overlooking the places of disagreement.
Gary Lineker on winning the National TV Award,
"It's not lost on me why I might have won this award"
"Aside from presenting Match of the Day, the most iconic football show for 26 years"
"Also, I think it demonstrates that perhaps it's ok sometimes to use our platform to speak up on behalf of those who have no voice"
@GaryLineker Legend 👏
Idiots like this never get the point do they? If we want the best players to play at the top level to give us top quality games on a regular basis, we need to help them stay in peak physical condition.
Otherwise the games will deteriorate and the games will be a slog to watch.
They get paid generational wealth weekly to play for 90 minutes once or twice a week, some people have to go to a 9-5 everyday for breadcrumbs. Athletes have no idea how easy life is for them.
@rioferdy5@themichaelowen Liverpool fan - People need to respect Fowler more for his exploits in his teenage years.
Owen's point about managers picking him completely ignore the point he tried to make about himself. Fowler's best years were before Owen became pro.
Imagine the message it would send if @GaryLineker won 'Presenter of the Year' at this year's National Television Awards
Standing up for compassion, integrity, and the right to speak out
And the feathers it would ruffle...

£110m, a British record transfer fee, not a "proper fee"?? After his tweet comparing the booing of the national anthem to the minute silence for Diogo Jota being ruined, and now this, Henry has clearly lost his mind.
On the “Civil Wor” at Newcastle, maybe if Liverpool had acted earlier and offered a proper fee for Alexander Isak, a world-class centre-forward with three years left on his contract, Newcastle would have had time and funds to bring in a suitable replacement. £110m was disrespectful to Newcastle (and Isak). And who are Newcastle going to get at this late stage of the window with suitable targets moved elsewhere? Yoane Wissa is not like for like. Newcastle need two anyway with Callum Wilson gone. It’s very easy to see why Newcastle and their proud, tough owners who don't like losing - or losing face - are playing hard-ball and determined to keep Isak. The saga continues. #NUFC #LFC
Three separate wedding celebrations in NYC, Dubai, and Uganda.
It is always the same with these champagne socialists. It is remarkable how many avowed socialists during my undergrad in Trinity spent their study breaks skiing.
This performative nonsense from someone who has supported everything that has happened is sickening. Does he think everyone has forgotten everything he has said over the past two years?
The appalling scenes in Gaza are unrelenting.
The UK will pull every lever we have to get food and lifesaving support to Palestinians, and we will evacuate children who need urgent medical assistance.
This humanitarian catastrophe must end.
It's so sad that it's considered radical to say that even disabled people who are unable to work should still have nice things. A coffee every once in a while, a nice dinner, a fun trip. Just because you're unable to contribute to capitalism doesn't mean you should suffer.
Still can't quite believe it 💔
Feel guilty feeling so bad over one football player that didn't know me with everything else going on in the world, but you always felt like football was a separate world to the real one for some reason. What a player he was.
