Long tribute from Kemi Badenoch in her conference speech to Jeffrey Archer, complete with round of applause. The world is a "less colourful" place without him, she says, which is one way to describe a serial fraudster, fantasist and liar who wrecked several lives in the process.

Tom Johnstone been done dirty in that World Cup squad. Shocked Mikey got in after this season. And I genuinely don’t recognise a few of those players…my lack of NRL knowledge not helping

I remember that famous Louise mensch twitter post about her being willing to block Theodore Hertzl because he used the term Zionist, showing wonderfully how she had no idea of the term or its origins.A few Green Party supporters seemingly showing the same lack of understanding/research this evening.

It isn’t my sport, never played it, only watch it on the odd occasion nowadays, but not only is Rugby League brilliant to watch, those lads are the fittest out of all elite professional sportsmen. Certainly in this country.

This has been some performance from Trinity. Tom Johnstone has been ridiculous. You’d have won some coin betting on KR and wakey as back to back champions a couple years back 😂

Going to acknowledge I didn’t watch the England game last night, but every article I’ve seen this morning is about Trent Alexander Arnold. And it’s seemingly always so if he plays. Am I missing something about him? He’s not that good to there be such an obsession over

These anonymous MPs saying it's 'electoral suicide' to tinker with the triple lock. Exactly the type who got us into this mess: unwilling to lead, unwilling to recognise reality for fear of offending voters, unwilling to solve long-term problems if it presents the slightest short-term risk.

The BBC news summary this morning went seamlessly from "critics warn PM scrapping triple lock would be electoral suicide" to "critics ask if PM has nerve to make tough decisions" and I don't think it's a particularly pro Burnham stance to suggest he might not be the entire problem here.

Turns out that if you are an old lady with a banner supporting Palestine, the government arrests you on charges of terrorism. If you are a masked white male thug bringing a national port to a standstill, the government does absolutely nothing, and the media covers it like some lads on a day out.

I want the Prime Minister to look into a TV camera and say the RNLI are heroes, that we do not change policy by street violence in this country, and that he expects any criminal action to face the full force of the law. That's it. That's all he has to do.

If someone acts on their 'concerns' by attacking people in their homes and by biting and throwing rocks at cops, no one should assess if those concerns are 'legitimate' or not. That violent behaviour waives any claim to 'legitimacy'. The phrase comes across as justifying violence, not condeming it.

If "legitimate concerns" were considered to excuse illegitimate methods, then nobody from Just Stop Oil or Palestine Action would have been arrested. So we know it doesn't. In fact that phrase is only ever used in one context. Only in that context is uniformed mob intimidation "peaceful protest"

Ryan Bridge - Founder of "Raise the Colours" flag protests - charged with 14 offences including common assault. Danny Thomas - ringleader of Dover/Portsmouth thuggery - an ex-con jailed for attempted kidnap at knifepoint. Almost like they're not "ordinary people with concerns" but criminals.

All this everyone has a right to peaceful protest stuff is fine had the cops not been arresting grannies and sending them to prison for less. Burnham, predictably, falling into some of the same traps that did for Starmer.

Not quite the same but my mum still tells the story of when she had a west stand ST back in the 70’s, coming back to her seat after half time, tea in hand but back to pitch. Game had kicked off and ball flew into the stand caught her flush on back of the head. She says she can still hear the cheer 😂

Oh ai. There are things that can be improved but all I ever hear, from podcasts to sky etc, bodies that should be promoting the game, is the game is on its arse etc etc. the game and the product are ace and the support exists but it’s rugby league, we’ve hated our own sport since 1895

Seems the difference between ‘protestors’ and ‘terrorists’ is that protestors wear balaclavas while terrorists hold placards.
