Christian Horner is tarnishing F1. Red Bull broke the rules but Horner says criticism is affecting the mental health of the team. This is a blatant deflection technique but also trivialises the difficulties of people with real mental health problems

- I love James Milner! He learned Spanish so he could teach his kids to be bilingual, he’s teetotal, he married his childhood sweetheart, he doesn’t have tattoos, he has record assists in a Champions League season. And he never gives up. Genius 👍 thetimes.co.uk/article/i-love…
- This is from 2013. The scandal was obvious back then to most right-minded people but not deluded Chelsea fans who kept chanting the name of #Abramovich from the stands (and, shamefully, still do)This piece on #Abramovich at Chelsea by @matthewsyed from 2013 is an incredible watch & searingly insightful as to why he ever bought the club.
- This guy, far right, blue jacket, glasses, screaming what looks like vile racial abuse. Kick him out @ChelseaFC @premierleague @kickitout. Does anybody know him? Not just awful for Sterling but other fans, not least the black guy behind him.
00:00 - The Palestine Action protesters have been characterised as warm, decent, cuddly. I went to talk to them and the mask slipped. Just a question or two about what they really think exposed the increasingly potent and assertive antisemitism in the UK thetimes.com/article/650ab7…
- Those who hate Cummings will regard that as a car crash. Those who admire him will see his explanations as entirely reasonable. Each side will regard the other as "mad", possibly "contemptible". This is the reality of echo chambers in a digital world #cummingsPRESSconference
- The severe health risks of cousin marriage have been serially censored or downplayed by scientists fearful of offending cultural sensibilities. This is a scandal that adds yet more weight to the argument of @RicHolden that the practice must be banned
- Huge admiration for @RachelReevesMP for having the guts to go into politics. A 100x braver than the armchair cowards on here. Crying doesn’t show “weakness”. Don’t agree with her policies but salute her courage, not least for going into the chamber while feeling miserable
- Blaming Trump for questioning NATO is deluded. Europe has failed on defence for decades, while increasing welfare budgets. Even now 8 Euro nations are not meeting the 2% obligation. Why should American taxpayers fund European incapacity benefits? thetimes.com/article/b7e711…
- Time to scrap PGMOL and introduce a black box thinking approach to improve the dire quality of refereeing
- The majority are right that borders matter; love of nation is admirable; illegal immigrants should be deported; biological males shouldn’t compete in women’s sport; people should be judged on merit, not colour; & western history is admirable, not shaming
- Love this from Gareth Southgate. #GrowthMindset “I've learnt a million things from the day [missed penalty] and the years that have followed it. The biggest thing being that when something goes wrong in your life, it doesn't finish you."
- Horrid TV. It's just bear-baiting from the interviewer and obfuscation from the politician. People ask politicians to give straight answers & admit to mistakes. But if they did, @piersmorgan wouldn't commend their honesty, he'd eviscerate them. This is TV in a viral age, folksReplying to @GMBHere’s the moment @theresecoffey disconnected her camera from the interview after calling @piersmorgan 'insulting'. Watch the full interview here👉bit.ly/2MLB661
00:00 - The missing link in the grooming gangs report: cousin marriage. Incredible that Casey missed this!
