Didn't she commit treason secretly negotiating with the Israeli government?

Unbelievably crass statement. But, as the evidence presented throughout #DifferentClass reveals, the ‘Type K’s’ described in the #ICEC Report have always believed the game is theirs and theirs alone. 👎🏻

Andrew Strauss blaming the booing on ‘people who don’t normally come to Lords’…he’s talking about the tickets being £25 🤢🤢🤢

Honoured to have been asked to pass comment on @Criticalcook’s forthcoming book on #cricket #capitalism and #class. 🏏 Given the title, I think I’m gonna love it! 😍

Not holding my breath. But if this is as good as it gets, I regard it as vindication of the long years it took to produce #DifferentClass and the stories relating to #class, #race and #society it conveys. Thanks to all who have supported me over the last 18 months (or longer)!🥰

Big thanks to all who supported me this year. Clearly the publication of #DifferentClass was a momentous event (in my life not just 2022), and I appreciate all those who helped promote it and, more importantly, it’s message. ✊🏻

#TheHundred being worth £1bn is a joke. If the private equity mobsters get a foothold it'll decimate English #cricket. It is the #Uber business model writ large: own nothing / exploit everyone (and existing infrastructure) / take everything. The #ECB need their head's examined.
