Italy showing Eng how it's done. Not in the sock-Ah, but cricket.

Nepal - who took England to within a boundary of losing - were all out for 123 and failed to take a single wicket against Italy who wrapped up a 10 wicket victory. (Maybe this indicates that England’s bowling isn’t really working?) Congrats Italy - well played. #T20WC #Cricket

Clare Connor, ECB Deputy Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director of England Women, has announced she will leave the organisation at the end of this summer’s home ICC Women’s T20 World Cup.

Poo, Spew, Richer Than You, Cuntface, Dribble, Twat.

Looks like they won't be finding the bodies after all

I fucking despair at the damage this socipath is doing

I despise this woman from the depths of my soul. Never, in all the years of Tory misconduct and corruption did she ever say a word against them yet she’s been hounding Starmer since day one. She’s the epitome of disgusting journalism 🤬

Morgan Sweeney, Keir Starmer’s chief of staff has resigned over Mandelson Many will cheer this

Given the number of people I'm seeing who say they have just joined the Labour Party in the last couple of days, I think this link may well be useful to more of you! join.labour.org.uk/join

Six Nations: ITV playing adverts during the match… WTF??!!! 🤬

Just a word of thanks to our fantastic media. Despite my racist bullying at school, having a senior colleague imprisoned for being a traitor, breaking the MP’s Code Of Conduct 17 times, my dodgy house purchase and even being in the Epstein Files, nobody is demanding I resign!

Farage - a total hypocrite on the Mandelson appointment. And, besides, the Epstein files expose him too. A grubby apologist to Trump. A useful idiot to Bannon. And a traitor to the UK. open.substack.com/pub/adambien...

Reform are the party for bitter, entitled, racist, misogynist old men. Probably the only party followers where you can just look at them and know exactly who they will vote for. #Reform

Saw her, wanted her, took her. No less of an evil bastard than anyone in Epstein and Trump's ring. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

Meaning….’as government attempts to appease Reform’ 🙄

I understand how this woman feels. I was attacked by a stranger in 1979. Fought him off and reported him to the police. They sent two MALE officers round who actually asked me “did you egg him on?” No wonder women don’t come forward,..even nowadays. news.sky.com/story/only-s...

🥱

Noticeable absence of asylum seekers, trans people and drag queens listed as child rapists in the files. Pretty much all very rich, very powerful and very white men. Almost as if that’s who the problem has always fucking been, isn’t it?

I’ve just caught up with the 2015 documentary by Sam Collins & Jarrod Kimber (Death of a Gentleman) about how the ICC is controlled by three countries’ boards to the detriment of the rest of international cricket. It’s a must view for cricket fans. Has anything changed since? #Cricket 🏏

I’ve read several reports about the latest release of the Epstein files and what’s in them and not one of the reports highlights the mentions of Trump within these files. Why are the press covering up for this piece of filth?

Read County Cricket Matters roving reporter Harry Everett’s Ashes diary available on our website 👏 Harry talks about his time in Australia and meeting up with some county players along the way… www.countycricketmatters.com/post/harry-e...

"I guess you think I was just a gypsy boy..." My god, I love this song. www.youtube.com/watch?v=DgEi...

Watching Jamie Overton bowl just now leaves me feeling grateful that England’s selectors have yet to clock that his brother is ten times better and Somerset can retain the services of a classic allrounder. 🏏 #Cricket

Lewis Goodhall's analysis of the Braverman defection is Test cricket compared to Chris Mason's Grassingtion and District over 50s Evening League. Like night and day.

All going to plan for the expected blatant rigging of the midterms - and it’s all about as subtle as a smack in the gob with a brick.🙄

Starmer is such a lily-livered pussy 🙄 news.sky.com/story/politi...

Root out 😱 Here comes the Brook so let’s see what he offers the team today. #EngvSri #Cricket

What Crawley is out flashing outside off stump not moving his feet??? #SriLankaVsEngland

England U19s playing well. It’s a pleasure to watch some really good orthodox cricket shots. Thomas Rew leading the way. #Cricket #EngU19 #EngvZim

I’ve just been going through my daughter’s messenger chat to redownload the many photos I’ve managed to lose off my laptop. Found several photos that made me chuckle but this one caused a full on belly laugh.

Religion…..👇

I cannot understand anyone with half brain wanting the Tories or Reform to run the country. Just listen to what they're saying, it's Temu Trump garbage

“It seems unlikely not to have occurred to [Farage] that the reason he is so popular… is that so many people have had enough not just of people like Zahawi, but in this case, people who literally are Zahawi” Here’s to hoping their piss-taking opportunism does for them both. (Times sketch)

As I thought. People had 14 years of the Tory incompetence and destruction and they don’t want them back again….even with a different cloak on. The more Tories defect the more damage is being done to Reform. Long may it continue.

If you don’t think misogyny is a huge part of MAGA and Trump ever since Bannon activated the ‘monster energy’ of Gamergate against Hillary Clinton, think again. As in Putin’s Russia, the desire to dominate, subjugate and kill women is the key psychopathology of Trumpism

Reliving my youth catching up with the rerun of Hill Street Blues…as good now as it was then. #Pizzaman

My post-Ashes thoughts: I hope Stokes stays as captain. But I think the focus on whether McCullum stays or not is far less important than some practical changes that are needed. For a start, ensuring England players play a lot more county cricket.

Exactly this. Our current test players don’t play long format once selected - they only know T20 and 💯franchises. Same as ODI - how do they expect to win a World Cup when the domestic 50 over game is left to county second XIs? Big bash walloping doesn’t produce test players. #Ashes #Depression 🏏

Turns out you can score runs when you don't treat a test match like it's a T20. Well done Jacob (he's only 22!).

Dogshit final session from England. 75 runs short with the bat. Short and wide (and bloody terrible) with the ball. Thrown away the match advantage like reckless drunken fools. Travis Head spectacular again. England wayward and woeful with the ball. Again. #Ashes #TheAshes #Cricket

When Stokes came more to the fore playing for England there was an influx of Durham players added to the Squad. Now is the time to tell Stokes that his two Durham pals weren’t good enough then and they’re not good enough now. #Ashes 🏏

We’re not getting any better 🙄 #Ashes 🏏

If I were to sum up 2025... It was the year I was sure I would drown and was certain I would. Until friends I didn't even know I had dragged me onto the beach and said "have a biscuit, mate".

“A generation of Afghan Australians no longer see themselves reflected on Australia’s biggest cricket stage.” Mate, try being a woman. 🤦🏼‍♀️

That’s the trouble these days - anything more than 4 overs and they struggle with injury. #Ashes 🏏 www.bbc.co.uk/sport/cricke...

Wickets are falling so frequently in the #BBL it’s like watching a Test match.

The only thing worse than the hunting mob are the idiots who aren't posh enough to join in and so stand in the street just to screech and clap as they ride by, off out to tear a beautiful living creature limb from limb and then rub its blood over them. Scum. Scum doing it. Scum applauding it. IMO.

“Well, we’ve managed to win a test in Australia for the first time in 15 years so ‘our’ way must be the ‘right’ way” They’re gonna feel so vindicated now 🙄 #Ashes 🏏

That’s English test cricket…..T20 in all but name 🙄 I give up now. Done. #Ashes 🏏

Okey doke - who got what? I was fortunate to get gig tickets to see Johnathan Pie…so excited.
