This photo is a perfect encapsulation of everything wrong with modern policing standards. A woman who cannot even grasp the single most basic rule of firearm safety, keep your finger off the trigger until you are ready to shoot, is being publicly celebrated and armed by the Metropolitan Police. Her index finger is squarely on the trigger of a rifle while she smiles for a promotional photo under a banner that reads “Women in Firearms Attachment.” This is not a minor slip. It is the kind of catastrophic negligence that gets people killed. And the fact that a sergeant is standing right next to her, grinning, while this happens tells you everything about the quality of instruction and supervision in that unit. @metpoliceuk if this is the standard your firearms officers are held to, you have no business putting anyone in possession of a weapon. Retrain your instructors, or better yet, stop pretending this is competence. #firearms #incompetence #safety

Seriously how are these people getting into University? 🤔

This was one of the most PAINFUL CAR CRASH interviews you’ll ever see with Labour foreign minister Stephen Doughty on @GMB about Andy Burnham saying Russia interfered in the Brexit referendum. Susanna Reid grows increasingly frustrated as he refuses to answer her questions, and even Ed Balls eventually tears into him for the “embarrassing waffle”. Doughty is asked again and again about the Prime Minister’s claims but he just keeps ignoring the questions and repeating the same empty line: that Russia has been attempting to interfere with our democratic processes for many years. Susanna tries to force him onto the 2016 vote itself. She asks what Russia actually did, whether it influenced voters, and whether it affected the result. He refuses to give any specifics and just repeats the line. When she asks “Why are you not getting into specifics when the Prime Minister has just got into the specifics?”, he claims Burnham was only speaking more broadly. She keeps pressing. He keeps repeating the line like a robot. She asks if the Prime Minister was wrong. Doughty: “The PM has been very clear about Russian attempts to interfere in our democratic processes.” By now Susanna is openly angry and accuses him of “muddying the waters not clarifying them”. He almost laughably says the same thing again. He isn’t listening. He might as well have come on just to read a statement. Susanna points out that if the result of such a huge decision was influenced, the public deserves answers about what the interference actually was. Doughty claims the PM only said “attempted to interfere”. Susanna cuts in immediately: “He doesn’t say ‘attempted to interfere!’” They play Burnham’s actual comments. Doughty goes straight back to the identical line. Susanna tries one final time. Same response. It is at this point that Ed Balls, clearly fed up, lays into him: “This is EMBARRASSING. It’s really bad for politics when you just blatantly don’t answer the question on something so important and go back to a nonsensical line, which is contradicted by what the Prime Minister just said!” He goes further: “Either answer Susanna’s question or just say I’m not going to. This waffle is embarrassing!” Doughty: “It’s not waffle at all Ed!” Then repeats the line yet again. It is waffle, and I never thought I’d say this but well done Ed Balls for bluntly calling him out. It was embarrassing. Andy Burnham should never have said it. We’ve been through all this. Russia did not in any way, shape or form influence the outcome of that referendum. Dragging this nonsense back up is reckless and a disgrace.

🚨𝗠𝗔𝗝𝗢𝗥 𝗕𝗥𝗘𝗔𝗞𝗜𝗡𝗚: Ryan Gravenberch red card will be canceled and there will be an apology to Liverpool after the PRO ref (PGMOL) review the first yellow and said that wasn't supposed to be a yellow card offense but it was a foul.

The Premier League should address these chants against our players. Let them concentrate on football without being subjected to this nonsense. This shouldn't be condoned.

🚨 🚨 Chris Kavanagh explains Ryan Gravenberch’s controversial second yellow card against Manchester City: 🎙️ “People can disagree with the decision, but my responsibility is to apply the laws of the game, not to consider the consequences for either team. Ryan Gravenberch had already been booked, and when you commit another foul, you put yourself at risk of being sent off” “The fact that the foul on Jérémy Doku might look soft to some people does not automatically mean it cannot be punished. A player who has already received a yellow card must understand the position he is in. You cannot expect the referee to ignore another offence simply because a dismissal would be controversial” “I understand why Liverpool supporters are furious, but would we be having the same conversation if a Manchester City player had received that second yellow? You cannot demand that referees enforce the rules consistently and then question the decision simply because your team is the one being punished “

Two seasons ago, Chris Kavanagh watched Doku raise his boot into Mac Allister in the box, waved away the penalty, and showed no card. But Gravenberch gets the softest contact and he’s quick to send him off. Make it make sense. @premierleague INVESTIGATE THIS REFEREE NOW!!!
