So chuffed with my prize from @paulfergusonJTF a fantastic guide of horses to follow through the NH season… signed by some of the top jockeys who all contributed to the book, including my personal favourite - Brian Hughes aka King of the North.. #CheltenhamFestival #HorseRacing

What a disgraceful decision by @BBCSport to cut all radio match commentaries of #RugbyLeague for the three Cumbrian clubs - a pivotal part of West Cumbrian & Furness sporting culture for many decades ditched …. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Reform’s Joe Martin calls a press conference to protest about the lack of free speech in the Welsh Parliament. When he is asked whether Reform is a racist party, he says "How dare you ask that question. How dare you!" 🤣

This is totally dishonest polling by Tory donor who isn’t even a member of the British Polling Council. He had us at 21% in May and we achieved 28% - his polling has been proven as bogus time and time again.

On Thursday I wrote about the 2014 injunction Russell Brand obtained against a woman who accused him of assault. I've now obtained the final order. It's breathtaking. She had no lawyer. No trial. Yet she was silenced for life - even barred from speaking to the police. 🧵:

Absolutely moronic and sociopathic. Idiotic. Pitiful. Irresponsible. Disrespectful . I had a debate with her at a friend’s party a couple of years ago where I told her about my friend’s firsthand experience with Russell. And she dismissed it and said there’s no evidence - that he’s not being convicted of anything and it’s a witch hunt. And now he has been convicted, apparently it’s still a witch hunt.

If you are genuinely curious and want to think beyond the click-bait headlines ( I realise that will be a stretch for some of you) feel free to read what I wrote 3 years ago. 👇 Warning: it will require more than 5 seconds of your attention. gbnews.com/opinion/russell-b…

Trump is the biggest RINO of all. Does he care about the Republican Party? Not a bit of it. He only cares about himself. He is a monument to selfishness.

Thank you, Donald, for all of your hard work (i.e., incompetence, corruption, treason, and betrayal of the American people) in ensuring Democrats win in a way that will make your life miserable for the next two years--and make our lives better.

Trump doesn’t think the results are a rejection of his leadership. Of course he doesn’t. That would require honesty and self-reflection. The man couldn't find either with a search warrant and a mirror.

BREAKING: President Trump congratulates Democrats on their midterm victories but makes one thing clear: He does not view the results as a rejection of his leadership. “Congratulations to the Democrats. They did a good job. They’ve been looking for this one for 11 years, and they finally got it. But I don’t view it as a hit on me. I think we’ve done ... We’ve had the greatest two years in the history of the presidency.” Tune in to Fox News Channel now for live midterm election coverage
