Not many people would’ve predicted that Californian born Cameron Steel would be leading wicket taker in the #CountyChampionship by the end of Round 3 - ahead of both Jamie Porter and Sam Cook.

But with 20 wickets in 3 matches he’s proven that leg spin can work in April.

🧵 This week, a UK hospital announced that they'd now be using an app which lets disabled people notify them of any access needs in advance. A lot of people are not happy about this, and I'm going to try and explain why.

Almost a quarter of 5-7 year olds have a smartphone. 38% in that age use social media, including 22% accessing Instagram.

Most of those in this age group using social media do so unsupervised.

I reckon It'll be in Saudi or Dubai, not the US.

I’m increasingly falling out of love with football. 20 of the 700+ teams that play in the FA Cup have decided that a potential 4 extra replays is too much, despite travelling the world pre-season to play other Prem teams in friendly tournaments. Those replays SAVE football clubs.

I don't have this feature. I'm a premium user in the UK, so surely I should? Contacted SpotifyCares and after reinstalling the App several times, getting me to try on different devices and logging in with test accounts, I'm told it's a gradual role out. newsroom.spotify.com/2024-04-07/spo…

The police shut down of the National Conservative conference in Brussels is a disturbing attack on civil liberties.

If you support the right of the state to shut down your opponents, you legitimise the state wanting to shut you down, too.

Certain corners of Rugby Twitter are going to look very very silly if Northampton don't put a massive score on the Bulls this evening. Yes it's a QF. Yes they've heavily rotated. Yes they're from South Africa which means a travel headache. They're also a stacked side.

The replies to this tweet are just depressing. I'm not sure if that's an indightment of British Politics, the culture on here these days, the internet in general, societal decline… I don’t know… I'm going to bed.

Tory party discipline completely breaking down as one of their MPs, Nick Fletcher, calls on voters in Ashfield to back Reform UK's Lee Anderson.

Rishi Sunak already facing calls to sack him.

I feel so conflicted about assisted dying.

I’m one of a minority who voted in favour of the last Bill before the Commons.

In the last six months I’ve watched two people I loved die slowly and painfully, wishing it could end sooner.

Matthew Parris’ argument is chilling.

The second part of this tweet is the big bit of good news. No more hiding half the weekend fixtures behind pay per view. Yes, not free to air, but this is a massive step forward.

The Secretary of State for Work and Pensions seems to think you get permanently signed off work if you tell a GP you're 'down and bluesy'. That is... not how it works.
