MPs must deal with misconduct in Westminster before chiming in on Gregg Wallace Politicians talk tough over TV celebrities but are throwing stones from glass houses

Hard for the politicians to start wading into GreggWallaceGate when Westminster has its own issues around the lack of accountability for sexual misconduct. Two dozen MPs have faced suspension since 2019. Chance for the PM to get that particular house in order.

He doesn’t do it for show, retweets and all the rest of it. You’ll often find him on a train to unfashionable clubs around the country educating players & staff. But @towno10.bsky.social is absolutely deserving of his Honorary Doctorate of Human Sciences from the University of Greenwich. A legend. x

On the streets of Liverpool, there is a humanitarian crisis

A perfect storm of problems means more and more people are finding themselves homeless & sleeping rough & it’s getting worse - it’s a situation playing out across the country

A difficult 🧵 on what I’ve found reporting on this situation

Bentancur's seven-game ban is deserved but FA must be consistent in racism fight Tottenham midfielder Rodrigo Bentancur has been banned for seven games after making an offensive remark about teammate Son Heung-min and the punishment has highlighted the FA's inconsistency in the fi...

Yes, the FA’s disciplinary panels have legitimate questions to answer over inconsistency. But if the seven-match ban for Tottenham’s Rodrigo Bentancur took your breath away, it is because punishments for racially offensive language should.
