Andy Murray is one of those sportsmen who takes his job seriously but not himself (See also James Milner).He'll be missed.

A tweet praising Starmer certainly activates the nutter magnet.

Andy Murray driving himself on in the last few moments of his career in the same way as he's done for years. A true sporting great. #OlympicGames.

Thank God we've a serious Prime Minister with a legal/law and order background, not a hedge fund manager like Sunak or a piss poor journalist like Johnson. @SkyNews.

Wish it was possible to bottle the joy of the British women rowers and the Irish men rowers at their bronze medals. #OlympicGames.

I had the privilege of working with some inspirational Heads. They didn't spend their time on social media, appear on GB News or describe themselves as Britain's strictest Head. They spent their time improving the life chances of working class Teesside kids.

Easy. Racists full of coke and cider wanting to beat up people with brown and black faces. The police are in the way. .
I still don’t understand what these people want: all the clips of people at his marches say they want a ‘voice’ yet we hear almost nothing but their voices. They have votes, like everyone else, they have Reform in Parliament. What do they actually want? I don’t think they know.

The Daily Mail isn't exactly blameless. Spent years stirring up tensions.

A word of praise for the efficient brutality of those distributing lottery funds. A friend of my son did well in Beijing, won Commonwealth gold but had a mare in London. A fortnight later she was working in Asda. #Olympics.

I don't for one minute believe Tice, Farage and Lee Anderson are violent but their words provide cover for those who are. Must have missed them condemning the events in Southport.

Anyone seeking to justify or excuse the events in Southport yesterday evening need to question their priorities in life.

Since Twitter became X, the site has become coarser, less fun, more open to spreading misinformation and conspiracy theories and content negligently monitored. It reflects its owner.

Notice it's not the policies that Badenoch says will beat Labour but her personally. Arrogance and egotism will be her downfall if she becomes leader. Hope she does.
So it looks like the Guardian hit job I warned about last week has dropped. Clearly my campaign launch has spooked the lefties and now they’re coming for the one person they know can beat Keir Starmer. (1/3).
