The decision by
@LUFC
to sarcastically single out a pundit for expressing a completely valid opinion is poor. That the pundit is a woman means it has incited a sexist and abhorrent tide of abuse towards her.
It’s unacceptable.

deserves much recognition.
"This is the director of communications at the Post Office essentially briefing against his own sub-postmasters"
Recordings have emerged of a Post Office official continuing to defend Horizon systems despite a High Court ruling that they were at fault in the postmasters scandal.
As a fitting tribute to Caroline Flack we should take a moment to think about how we consider and support those around us professionally and personally. Just a small thing we can all do, because no one should be made to feel that taking their life is the only option

Spot on Micah. Three white men are changed up on a popular football programme & immediately twitter decides they’re being replaced by black pundits. And then absolutely lays into those black pundits (both excellent) because they *might* be considered for the job. Not great is it?
I saw I was trending today in relation to a brilliant & institutional Sky Sports TV show that I’ve never even been on. The underlying insinuation of tweets immediately linking mine & Alex Scott’s names makes for some uncomfortable truths. Peace and love ✌🏿

What I would love, is for Jürgen Klopp and some of the club’s most senior players, say Jordan Henderson, Mo Salah & TAA, to ask the men at the top why the ‘LFC family’ chooses to build a brand new training facility and completely ignore their women’s team. It’s unacceptable

Four weeks for me, even with antib's which seemed to make no difference, then I finally started feeling more like myself. It was awful. Very frustrating and felt a bit blue! Vit D mouth spray and a good multivitamin to keep you sane.. you will get better.
Pictures show fans scaling gates and perimeter fencing. Gates closed, fans unable to get in, other supporters entering without tickets. Reports of tear gas being used.
I’d also like to know why the same level of abuse has not been directed at Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink, who can be heard wholeheartedly agreeing off screen when the comment was made.
Happy 2nd birthday

In the picture is Polina. In Mariupol a 6yo was killed after being caught in shelling. During attempts to resuscitate her, a doctor in medical scrubs turned to a photographer and said: “Show this to Putin: the eyes of this child, and crying doctors.”

Argh. Am on a bus basically surrounded by maskless young people. I get that they think they don’t need masks but not great when that seems to be as far as the thinking goes..
You’re basically forcing people who feel vulnerable off public transport.

😡This is utter crap. And actually really sexist.
To allude that unmarried women with a partner and kids can’t be happy because they resent never saying “I do” is ridiculous!!
I’m unmarried (our choice), in love, with kids, a mortgage and a cat. How isn’t that enough?!!
"Of all the unmarried women with children I know, only two aren’t secretly simmering with resentment because their other half has never proposed" writes Judith Woods
