Penniless and homeless, Raynor and Moth Winn found fame with their story of their 630-mile walk to salvation. The Salt Path became a global bestseller and was adapted into a major film.

But we can reveal it wasn’t the whole truth.

Jesus Holdstock, the bat hit the pad BEFORE the spike, that was the front pad. Incompetent, WIndies being robbed by the third umpire. #WIvAUS

DavidY @djy1976.bsky.social · Jun 26

Genuinely think the third umpire should have gone to #specsavers. No way that was out and the one yesterday wasn’t #WIvAus

Important clarification- I've had emails from constituents saying that I had legalised abortion up to birth (which isn't true)

Lewis Goodall @lewisgoodall.com · Jun 19

No, MPs haven't legalised abortion up to birth. That lie was spread on X by many who should know better. The change is about saving a handful of vulnerable women from trauma and prison. Women about whom those people do not even think.

The USification of British political discourse continues apace

The Ballad of Wallis Island is a gorgeous little instant classic. I laughed hard, I wept, I sighed — such a beautiful film. Go see it in cinemas, and support a charming UK indie

Saw it on Sunday and absolutely agree, just a thoroughly lovely film.

Would be fun to have a grumpy dismissed opener taking square leg for a spell….

Very good thread

Fergus McKee @fergusmckee.bsky.social · Jun 9

After a few days of reflection, I'll start by staying, fair play to the board / Levy for sticking with Ange during the season. I assume they felt his position was untenable, yet they didn't fire him and in return he won the Europa League.

Yet, I am still irked by the board's decision, because;
