Walking around the backstreets near Westbourne school and it's lovely to hear and see owls flying about #Sheffield

We don't comment on politics, but if we did, we would say the orange faced one has had all three stumps uprooted by a devastating reverse swinging yorker. No ball tampering detected.

Reform absolutely obsessed with the riots in France!
Why?
Because they want it here, they hate our country with a passion.
Reject.

She is speaking shite.
I never once received a lesson teaching me to hate this country.
My mother is a headteacher and hating Britain is certainly NOT on her curriculum.
The people who are running this country down are the so-called patriots who tell you this country is broken while shagging flags.
If it is broken, it’s broken by them.

@TomSwarbrick1 can’t help but grin after Burnham vowed to scrap pensions triple lock.
JS Cricket retweeted
Everyone upset about the rumoured triple lock changes, remember, is insisting that the state pension should rise *faster* than the wages of the people who pay for it. That’s the only thing at stake here. Andy is not cutting the pension, or even suggesting it should stop rising.
JS Cricket retweeted
Genuine question for the pensioners, if ending triple lock mean you got to pass on the value of your home to your kids without state taking it to pay for care, isn’t that a fair trade off? Or do you want to keep triple lock and sell your house if you need care?
Just discovered the #PoshCast with Sophia Money-Coutts and Cleo Watson. It is hilarious, and has put me in a very good mood on a monday.

They want to leave the ECHR because it will allow them to abolish the State Pension, the Minimum Wage, and paid holiday and sick leave.
It would make them tens of billions a year.
But of course they say immigration, because they can't tell you the real reason.

Farage: "We are not sovereign until we leave the ECHR."
The only European countries outside the ECHR are Russia and Belarus.
For the UK to quit the ECHR would be to hand a huge victory to Putin in his war against human rights and international law.
Farage continues his treasonous collaboration in Putin's war against democracy, freedom, and human rights. He is a traitor, and that is the biggest issue by far in today's British politics.

For several days, my timeline has been full of people doing a good impression of the Death Eaters from Harry Potter insisting only purebloods can call themselves English. No time to reply to all of them, but five quick questions for any who care to engage 1/6

Trump: I demand Greenland!
Denmark: No.
Trump: Ok, how about you agree not to let Russia and China establish military bases there?
Denmark: Well I mean we weren’t going to do…you know what? Deal!
Trump: My enemies fold again.

In 2014 Nigel Farage went on LBC to complain about hearing foreign languages on trains.
James O'Brien: But your wife and kids speak German.
That was the first and last time they ever spoke.

It’s all going to end, very soon, enjoy it.
“At your funeral, your friends and family will argue over who gets what.
People will want food to eat.
The topic will shift from your life to their lives.
They’ll drive away thinking about their looming to-do list.
Some people won’t be able to make it because ‘something came up’
And we worry about…a low performing post on social media.
Or what someone “thinks of us”.
Or a bad customer review.
Or whether we’re going to finish our to do list in time.
We die like we go to sleep.
With things unsaid and unfinished.
The only judge who has complete context on our lives, dies with us.
A reminder of the heavy weight we place on things that matter little.”
