We don't think doctors are the best people to judge whether someone is too ill to work, so we are giving that job to unqualified private contractors, whose pay will depend on finding everyone fit for work.

# #bbcfootball My telly is broke. Its showing a different match to the one Jermaine Jenas is watching. De Bruyne whose tackling is Scholes like, wasn't even close to City's best player. That was Rodri.

This is Nick Buckley MBE, an independent candidate for Mayor of Greater Manchester. This is a thread on why you shouldn't vote for this complete and utter bigot....

I've been invited to write something, details to follow when it happens, but first a question:

Who are your favourite short fiction writers?

An audio clip appearing to be a recording of Sadiq Khan making comments about ‘Remembrance weekend’ is recirculating online.

But there’s no evidence that it’s real, or that Mr Khan made any such remarks. (1/2)

#bbcfootball Player of the match for Man United Women today? Mary Earps was brilliant but without Kirsty Dowle turning down THREE blatant penalties, allowing Le Tissier to foul Ramirez persistently and ignoring Mannion repeatedly kicking the ball away United would be well beaten

Wonder if anyone BBC Radio 6 Music will sneak Courtney Love (the band featuring Lois Maffeo and Pat Maley) into today's celebration of Courtney Love the singer? maryanne hobbs maybe ? Deb Grant ?

Myself and so many other working creatives supplement their income by teaching within the arts. These cuts not only wipe out generations of future artists, they devastate the professionals employed to teach them.

Not many people know that Rachel Corrie was a proud union member w/ SEIU. After she was killed 21 years ago today in Rafah, some of her fellow SEIU members tried to pass a resolution to divest from Caterpillar, but union officials stopped it. 🧵

Hey Rishi Sunak this is how #MobRule started
Within seconds of publication these MPs got death & rape threats. One had to have armed police protection. Many caved in to threats & abuse & didn’t vote as they wanted to.
Parliament & a compliant media let the rot set in

#BBCFootball Liverpool youngsters did really well, but Chelsea's side is very young too. Gusto had Doku in his pocket last weekend and Dias today. Most of the team under 23! Credit them too

#BBCFootball it's time these smoke flares ard banned before someone gets hurt.

The utter insanity of what Christopher Rufo claims - and Rowling has retweeted - ie. that puberty blockers turn off the hypothalamus and 'what makes us human' is demonstrated by the fact that the same drugs are used on adults for endometriosis and various cancers.

#bbcfootball that petulance by Kyle Walker is the sort of thing that is supposed to get a yellow card now.

#BBCFootball the emphasis on City Women's 10 wins in a row giving them confidence ignores Chelsea's identical run presumably giving them confidence too.

The Israeli military is bombing Rafah, the most densely populated area in the world, while Americans watch the Super Bowl. This is intentional. This is genocide.

We're demanding the world watching the #superbowl turn their eyes to #Rafah . #alleyesongaza #CeasefireNOW

Time for a thread. Let's have a look how the Conservative/right wing commentators are now backpedalling furiously. We begin with Darren Grimes. He confidently declared on GB News that Prince Charles was a 'clown prince' rather than the Crown Prince.

Two stonewall penalties not given. Liverpool have got away with this.
