Club made a mistake. Listened to fans. Made it into a positive. Everything Chansiri has failed to do for 10 years. He’s been embarrassed yet again, by compassion and thought and a little bit of brain power. Well done Rob and @Wrexham_AFC 👏🏻 #SWFC #WxmAFC
There are 10k more gold shirts available. The profits from any gold shirt purchased between now and Monday will go to Sheffield Wednesday ST #upthetownS

The reporting on #SWFC this week is another reminder how important local media is. When a club’s in crisis, they’re the ones that step up. That’s why it’s so important to read/share/listen and support them. It could be your club next. 👏🏻 @AlexMiller91, @YesWeCrann, @robstaton.

We can all pretend Trump and Vance are some sort of inspired geniuses. Or we can see two soft bullies haranguing a man who has been fighting a war to save his country for three years.

Thanks to His Honour Judge David Dixon who came in to speak to @sheffjournalism students today about court reporting and why it’s important. A fascinating insight into the criminal justice system.

To stay on X or to go, now that Musk has turned this platform into an incubator for fascism? I don't blame anyone for leaving. But I'm staying. Why? Because of this solid political principle: *Never let the far right drive you out of any space.*

You have no idea what our wonderful country is really like and are, like the planet Mars, both toxic and empty.
@LeoKearse Why does the UK media, with a few exceptions, just parrot the government?

Couldn’t agree more. Also…Get your shorthand. No audio or video recording in court.
It's times like these that the craft and art of court reporting comes in to its own. So vital that society sees justice being done. Keep up the good work @sophcorcoran

One of the most repulsive, inaccurate and frankly embarrassing headlines in the history of the Daily Telegraph. It has appalled many of its own journalists. It is beneath contempt.

It’s inaccurate to define racist thugs as protestors. BBC TV pls, pls stop it. This is the story: Far Right groups have attempted to set a hotel in Rotherham alight after rumours circulated that it housed asylum seekers. Several police officers have been injured as they 1/

This is how it's done. You know Axel Rudakubana, accused of the Southport killings, is not an illegal migrant, so you say "ordinary people" think he is. Once upon a time experienced journalists saw it as their job to put people straight.

Meanwhile, over at Truth Social, the "unity" candidate, committed to being President for all of America, salutes his former opponent and wishes him the best in all of his future endeavors.
