You see this, this is what happens in real life. The bots can't show up on the streets. On the right there (yeah the far right) are the 6 nazis who turned up to cause mayhem. Everyone else is there to stop them. This is England.

Worth spreading these videos as much as possible, the more humiliating the better. Part of the task of the next few days is messaging: you'll be arrested, you'll go to prison, you'll regret it for the rest of your life.

The Tories keep pushing this deceitful £2,094 figure in the belief that people will get tired of highlighting the dishonesty. In the print era, maybe this was effective. In the digital era, it serves only to undermine their credibility. https://t.co/xBhfB2oubx

You've descended into a tinpot airline @British_Airways with no concept of communication: at first you said it was "a part" without saying that the spare part had to be driven in & would arrive 4 hours after scheduled take off. Why not cancel and de-plane?

Shambolic flight or attempt at flight by BA - the 3pm from Gatwick to NYC & we've had a broken plane, now food that might have gone off meaning no take off (it's almost 6pm). Terrible terrible service @britishairways Oh, and BA check in broken earlier. #BrokenBritain

V perceptive article by @benson_louise for @ArtReview_ and btw the @EveningStandard article cited and critiqued by Louise is literally one of the most laughable/awful things I've read about contemporary art in the past few years...!

In my experience, the inability to come to grips with what happened in #BlackJuly1983 still holds #SriLanka back.

So @AndyBurnhamGM @GuardianCricket India play tests at Headingly & Old Trafford in 2025 but that's not good enough because there's not an Ashes test next time round. This is exactly the type of implicit racism the recent report was about....

Problem with demanding an Ashes test must be played in the north @AndyBurnhamGM is that it denigrates every other test playing nation.Implication=test matches against other countries are second tier - it doesn't matter if those take place in North if a precious Ashes test doesn't

Cummins, Hazelwood & Starc were the bowlers in the sandpapergate Aus Vs SA test. Shane Warne later said he believed that the bowlers were in on the cheating in that match as much as Smith & Warner. Cummins hasn't changed, he's an unedifying cricketer #Ashes23 #Bairstow #Ashes

Not sure that #OllieRobinson verbally abusing the first Muslim cricketer to play for Australia is particularly sensible given his history of racist tweets (10ish years ago, but still)...not exactly Bazball good-vibes spirit @ECB_cricket eh?#Ashes

I for one, love Bazball. The anarchic will to lose is liberating. There's something that's tied into the loss of empire, Brexit-failure & a joyful revelling of what the nation will become #bazball #ashes #screwjerusalem #runtowardsdanger
