Bracing common sense and truth bombs from Alex Massie on the BBC and its defenders. Best piece I’ve read so far on the crisis open.substack.com/pub/alexmassie…

Ben Marshall rumours will be starting again. Love to see it #swfc

Sheffield Wednesday boss Henrik Pedersen says there is a meeting on Monday when he hopes to be given the green light to sign a free agent player or players. #swfc | @footballheaven



The Kenny Dalglish film on Amazon is well worth a watch. One of my heroes as a kid and still very much as an adult. One of Britain’s best ever footballers, if not the best. Total legend #LFC

It’s been a tough day for David Lammy, who has given Labour yet another scandal. Here is the AI Lord Chancellor’s latest hit song: “Oops I freed them again”

Love this. I can’t imagine how excited the children would have been when he walked in 🤩

🎥 Bukayo Saka surprising children at his former primary school, as they deliver presentations on their role models. 📚 🗣️ ‘Hello! How’s your presentation going? Have I interrupted you? I’m going to sit down…” ❤️

The release of the Epping sex offender is a squalid new low for the British state. Hadush Kebatu should never have set foot in the UK in the first place. Politicians and officials have enabled his crimes at every turn, says Fraser Myers buff.ly/8zdDWz3

I sit in Parliament listening to these ministers, and it’s all just so depressing - the vast majority of them have never run a business, and it SHOWS. You would not believe how bad it is. They think ‘work’ means turning up to an office between 9 and 5, answering a few emails,…

China would not have cared if the Cash trial had gone ahead. 'Sometimes you get caught, China understands that,' an ex-CIA man said. Beijing DOES care about getting this vast new embassy near the Tower of London, which is on top of secret cables. Remember that when it's approved

The simple truth of the China spy case is this: 1) There was plenty of evidence to prosecute 2) If the DPP had wanted to bring the case there were multiple references in the govt’s evidence to China being a “threat” 3) If the govt, wanting the case to be brought (they claim) and…



This is just crazy. Our politicians are seriously incompetent at best and stealing money from us at worst.

An absolute must watch. Energy bosses have just told Parliament that EVEN IF gas prices halved by 2030, the soaring policy costs of renewables would mean bills go UP. Ed Miliband’s plan means more grid, more expensive renewable subsidies, more paying wind farms to turn off.



Australia women’s cricket team are just so good. They’re never beaten, they just keep coming and coming. Brilliant chase of 330 to beat a very good India side. Class all the way down the order 👏 #INDvsAUS #CWC25

I've got a birth certificate, driving licence, a passport, and an NI number. You know who I am. I am not the problem.

BREAKING: Digital ID to be made law for all adults in the UK. The proposals are the government's latest attempt to tackle illegal immigration, with the ID serving as a form of proof of the right to live and work in the UK. @MhariAurora reports. trib.al/ccTgxuY

Here's an extract from my Mail column, 'Starmer is my 13th Prime Minister - and the first I've despised. He is a small man doing huge damage, and every day he remains in power is a worse day for Britain': dailymail.co.uk/debate/article… I have worked with and written about politicians…
