When I moved to London to go to uni in the 1980s, people couldn’t wait to get out. Population had fallen to 6.8m. Everything was closing. Now people flock to the greatest city on earth - pop 9m. The city is transformed. Nobody forces you to live here. If you don’t like it..bye!

Thank you very much indeed Middlesbrough Football Club. And all who sail in you.

Imagine being so unpatriotic that you talk down the greatest city in the world. What is wrong with these scared little boys?

What a fantastic player and human being - credit to the club

God he’s great isn’t he? Not so much a breath of fresh air as a bloody gale!

Whoever the guy in the white top is, give him a medal. There is good and evil in ten seconds of footage

Thank you Mehdi Hasan for saying this and doing so in such a clear way. It’s alarming that there are so many people who seem to find it much harder to articulate. Thoughts and prayers with the Jewish community on such a sad day.

Just don’t look at it Mark! You don’t have to, you know. Delighted with the kind words though, thank you!

It’s 2025 and there are open racists, Klansmen, sitting in the United States Senate.

An abomination of a Test match. Regardless of result. It’s not entertainment, it’s mediocrity. It’s certainly not Test cricket. A bitterly sad day for this once grand game. Players, coaches & curator all culpable. Diabolical. #Ashes
