🚨🎙️ Roy Keane on Ryan Gravenberch’s Red Card Against Manchester City; 🗣️"Listen, I’m sitting here absolutely flabbergasted by what I’ve just witnessed. We are talking about Liverpool versus Manchester City at Anfield. This isn't a pre-season kick-around, this isn't a mid-table dead-rubber—this is as big as it gets in world football. You’ve got millions watching around the globe, two top-class teams going toe-to-toe, and the entire match gets ruined because the officials want to be the main event. Look at the match context! Ryan Gravenberch was having one of his absolute best games in a Liverpool shirt. He’s driving through the midfield, he’s testing Gianluigi Donnarumma with a cracking strike from range, and then literally seconds later, he makes a recovery challenge in the City half on Jérémy Doku. Was it a foul? Yeah, fine, give a free-kick. But to whip out a second yellow card in the 62nd minute for that? It is an absolute disgrace. The first yellow card early in the second half was soft enough as it was, but to issue a second yellow—effectively killing the entire spectacle—requires a level of common sense and match management that these referees simply don't possess right now. Where is the game management? Where is the understanding of what is at stake? Referee Chris Kavanagh couldn't wait to get his card out. It’s refereeing by a textbook without having a single clue about the emotion, intensity, or context of a massive Premier League fixture. You treat a big game like a big game! You let the players fight it out on the pitch. You don't send a lad off for a minor collision on the halfway line when neither tackle warranted a sending off. And what happens? The moment Liverpool go down to ten men, the entire balance shifts. City take complete control, Erling Haaland scores two minutes later, Doku gets another, and the game is done. The decision-making from the officials today was shocking. It robs the fans, it robs the players, and frankly, it ruins what should have been an iconic battle. They need to start applying some real football intelligence out there instead of hiding behind harsh whistle-blowing."

Last August, @DC_Police interviewed me under caution for posting 3 factual tweets copied from a news article about a former sergeant charged with harassment. The College of Policing says suspects should receive updates every 28 days. A year later, I've received none. Why not?
🧵Last week I was interviewed under caution on suspicion of harassing an ex-Devon + Cornwall Police sergeant. All I did was post 4 accurate, professional tweets stating he was arrested + charged with harassing a woman. It raises big questions about free speech + public interest

This is well worth a read. Not so much for the P&R rebuttal but for the island perception of where real power lies and concerns over the numbers underpinning the GST argument.

Elon Musk is worth $1.1 trillion dollars. He could buy EVERY SINGLE HUMAN ALIVE a McDonalds and STILL be a trillionaire. (Even without a bulk discount) #elon #elonmusk #mcdonalds

The pure brilliance of @JinkxMonsoon last night made my phone glitch, so I only got this tiny bit of the standing ovation (but shows the incredible crowd reaction at least). ⭐️ Don’t miss #EndOfTheRainbow at @sohotheatre until June 21st sohotheatre.com/events/jinkx… #DragRace
