I, Kevin Rowland (the son of Irish immigrants) and the main songwriter of ‘Come On Eileen,’ am disgusted to learn that Nigel Farage has used our song to make his entrance for his party conference. Myself, and all of Dexys are passionately against Farage’s politics.

It is excellent.

“Cleaning a river without a permit. What about you?”
@EnvAgency is really plumbing new depths of malevolent uselessness here.

Musk as a trillionaire- anyone as a trillionaire- is a grotesque economic, moral and political problem. We cannot have individuals with that level of power, whatever they might have achieved.

A) as we’ve discussed before, you don’t need to quote tweet. B) You know as well as I do that extraordinarily concentrated wealth makes a difference to the lives of everyone in a democracy.

Surprised that among all the Redknapp, Sherwood, Mason and Sean Dyche shouts of who could go into Tottenham for the final nine games that Chris Hughton hasn't had more of a mention. Historical link to Spurs, calm nature and not out of management *that* long. He'd be my pick.

A passenger on a train in Australia captured the most beautiful thing on their mobile phone. I doubt you'll see this on mainstream media. Much respect Australia ✌️

I’ve reported 18 wars over 35 years. I’ve been shot at, kidnapped, threatened, nearly raped. I’ve lost friends from Sarajevo to Syria. I thought I’d seen the worst of humanity. I was wrong. Nothing compares to Gaza — or the complicity letting it happen.

Why is @RobertJenrick chasing down common folk skipping out on a few quid? He should be chasing down the billions of public money, lost in the PPE scandal - gifted to Tory donors - chase them down Robert, why not?

Earlier today I was carrying out water testing in the River Roding in Ilford & became increasingly annoyed by the insistent buzzing of a helicopter directly overhead. It was only when I saw the police approaching from both sides of the river that I realised it was for me!
I know the police have a tough call in these kinds of circumstances, but I’m not convinced that two police cars, half a dozen police, an ambulance, a police boat, helicopter & suspension of flights out of London City Airport were really necessary for the guy in waders & a waterproof collecting samples in a knee deep river.

The teen in question was not arrested for selling flowers without a license. He was arrested for punching the female officer in the eye after being told to leave the area.
