The danger of using voxpops in place of real analysis. Cameras are a magnet for motivated activists. These two made it into four different reels + a dozen print pieces. The illusion is that we're getting an insight into "Clacton voters". In truth, we just know what Farage Megastans Jim & June think.

Has a corner been turned for the San Diego Padres? 2 in a row after a dismal 8 run losing streak. Still need the big hitters to step up

In case you missed it, here's Count Binface's appearance on the BBC this morning.

The £5Mill-Farage-crybaby-by-election-farce is the funniest political blunder of recent times. He’s now campaigning against a bin. And Reform losing their shit in a frenzy of humourless self-righteousness just makes the whole thing even funnier and more absurd. Keep going guys. We needed this.

absolutely spot on re Nigel Farage’s speech - from Tom Peck

First boos for Inantino just heard at the #SuivCpl match

EXC - The £5m gift to Nigel Farage by a cryptocurrency billionaire was reported to the National Crime Agency by bankers who were concerned it may have been laundered money, the Guardian can reveal. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Things are starting to look very dark for Farage. He's stuck in a ferocious scandal where he cannot get his story straight and his excuses raise more questions than they answer inews.co.uk/opinion/nige...

I've just read Infantino's statement, and I have absolutely no idea what he's saying, or trying to say. It's just meaningless words

FIFA is one of THE most corrupt organizations on this earth. Period.

Is binning expert correspondents in eastern Europe a good idea at a time like this? Disinformation on the rise, Russia interfering in many countries, threatening several and actually at war with one? Well, BBC News management seems to think so. It's disposing of me and 4 of my colleagues.

Something serious going on near Holland Park London. 6 fire engines have gone flying past in last couple of minutes. Fire in London somewhere?

The Zlatan and Thierry just VIBING, with Lalas only featured long enough to get got. I love it. Right into my veins.

Reform have now lost six by-elections in a row in England, Scotland and Wales. Their national poll rating is 26% – below Labour in 1983 – and Farage’s approval rating is -37. They’re very far from the voice of the people and need to stop being treated as such.

Even by normal summer cricket standards, this is an epic collapse by England!! #EngvNZ #TMS

your regular reminder that Reform published a draft bill in May last year which promised to deregulate the crypto industry and cut stamp duty on transactions from 24% to 10%

What Reform did today was an incitement to rioting and an insult to a grieving family. This bloke should have hung his goddamn head in shame.

Yeeessss!!!! Get in the 2 boys #Raceacrosstheworld

Southampton kicked out of the play off final!!!! Wow!! Huge call

Nigel Farage’s claim that he paid for a £1.4mn house with his fee from a reality TV show has been challenged by corporate accounts that appear to show that the income remained on his company’s balance sheet after the property purchase. www.ft.com/content/88ce...

Speaking as a US citizen, that is NOT what you want unless you hate your fellow citizens. I can't afford to treat any but the simplest and cheapest of health problems. A single night in the hospital would bankrupt me. And no, most Western nations do NOT use the US model. So H-B is a liar.

Not a bad 24 hrs for Arsenal

How informed are Reform UK's new hopefuls about their own party? Chris Atkins set up a fake channel, 'Patriot News UK,' and engaged in some mild subterfuge to find out.

At this rate, #Chelsea will have more managers than points.this season!!

Feeling sorry for this Olly Robbins guy. Clearly being hung out to dry. Not sure he is giving enough to hang Starmer alongside him

Privileged to be at the Cardiff City Promotion party, even though I was in the Reading end!! Great day, well done the city. Up the football league we go!! #Bluebirds

Covid Bereaved Families for Justice have written to Reform following my story on the party's Covid-conspiracy theorist candidate and others

It can't be another playoff between Rory and Rose at the #Masters can it???

Superb win for Cardiff today, after our reason run of blips. We secure our promotion either midweek or on Saturday imo!! Uppa City!!

I only ever share Wordle when this happens, so extremely rarely!!! Wordle 1,726 2/6 ⬜⬜🟩⬜⬜ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩

Someone in the UK is £181m richer tonight. Not me sadly

Cardiff were properly schooled by Lincoln today. No complaints, we were thoroughly outplayed. They were bigger, fitter, stronger, first to the ball, very well organised, defensively superb and took their chances very well. They will win League 1 no doubt

Fair play, that was a huge effort by England, but India performance was just too good. #T20WorldCup #IndvEng

Huge chase required for England. They got absolutely walloped all over the park by India. Will need a record breaking chase score to get to the final. #T20WorldCup #IndvEng

A superb captains knock from Harry Brook #T20 #worldcup #PakvEng

#TeamGB Women's Curling have quite literally, been inched out of the Semis. So cruel #winterolympics

Cardiff City were superb 2nd half. They were also superb 1st half on Saturday. Put them together and they will batter a team soon!! Special mention to Wimbledon fans there tonight, didnt stop singing throughout the game. Great support, fair play.

At last, a medal!! Gold!! Well done Matt Weston Smashed it #TeamGB #WinterOlympics

Victory about to snatched from the jaws of defeat?? 3 wickets in the over. Fantastic game #srivEng @tntsports.com.br.web.brid.gy

What a catch Joss Buttler!! Outstanding #SrivEng
