I’ve been working in politics a long time. But I’ve never seen a more perfect illustration of the political incontinence of the hard-British Left than their splenetic rage at Keir Starmer for daring to prioritise actual seats over vote share.

UKIP 2015: 3.8m votes - 12.6% Reform 2024: 4m votes - 14.3% The media narrative could easily be: why hasn’t the hard-right made more progress in the last ten years? But it isn’t.

Have to say when Cameron became PM of a majority govt in 2015 on 36.9% of the vote I don't remember quite so much concern about vote shares.

Jordan Pickford = really good. Pass it on.

The football we play may be frustrating at times but you can’t knock 3 semi finals out of the last 4. Think of all the managers we’ve had to put up with who would kill for that record. #ENGSUI

Love the fact that the thing that brings these Pakistan and India fans together is England!

Can’t believe it’s over. What a career. What a fella. We’ll miss you #JimmAnderson

The British facination with [GUESS WHO?] is utterly toxic. You all can't stop giving him a platform, talking about him, quote tweeting his shit, sharing clips of him on social media. Don't kid yourselves that you're ridiculing him. You're not. You're spreading engagement for him.

Listen. The squeal of Swifts. The chuntering of Crows. The distant siren. The mew of a cat. The clunk of a dish being washed up next door. The distant hum of a road. The yap of a puppy. The chirp of a tit. The drone of a plane. The rustle of leaves. The buzz of a bee. Listen.

Thanks Andy Murray . What pleasure you’ve given us over the years. Congrats on a stellar career. #murray

Unusually for the UK, the best of Britain is to be seen the morning after. Real patriots getting out on the streets to clear up the mess left by mindless thugs.

Ps: if it’s past 6pm and you don’t know where you children are, who they are with or what they’re up to: when the police come knocking, it *is* your responsibility.

I’m at the gym and I just saw someone put their water bottle in the Pringles holder on the treadmill.

Newsreaders describing sentences for rioters as ‘harsh’ and describing riots as protests… something seriously wrong with the language being used 🤬

These 2 Plymouth rioters have been convicted of 209 previous offences + they told the police they were rioting because immigrants cost the taxpayer too much money. Judge Linford made them work out how much their offending had cost Britain's taxpayers over the last 38 years.👇🏻

Bet Will Shindler is a wibbling mess about now… congrats, fantastic win and fully deserved both for players and fans 👏👏👏
