I absolutely agree that more needs to be done to support working class kids to get the chance to reach the top in Tennis, but dismissing or diminishing Arthur's success this week is totally unfair. Even with help most don't make it to the top 500, much less the last 8 of a GS.

Arthur Fery will play a #Wimbledon quarterfinal today, the last Brit standing in the singles. “Just a rich kid” the comments on Twitter often read. But everyone I spoke to described him as “just like all the other kids”. inews.co.uk/sport/tennis/a…

Absolutely brilliant win. One of the best. Amazing commitment despite all the setbacks. Stones, Spence and Burn brilliant off the bench. Gordon outstanding, plus of course our two talismen - Bellingham and Kane. Every player did their job. Come on!!!

For months, I have called for the UK government to make more information about this attack public, including in the Chamber just last week, so the British people can see we are already in a conflict with Russia...... (1/2)

At a time when so much of our sport is lost to terrestrial viewers, @Wimbledon continuing to forego revenue in order to keep it on @BBCSport is so important and should be saluted. Tennis's most invaluable shop window- inspiring future generations.

Kemi lost her head at PMQs - and afterwards too. It's not the first time. She's compared me to a Gestapo officer. I wonder what it is about a working class woman driving record investment in state schools by ending private schools' tax breaks that the Tories hate so much.

The Gestapo marched hundreds of thousands of innocent people to their deaths. I've ended private schools' tax breaks to invest in state schools. No responsible leader makes vile comparisons like this. Kemi Badenoch is not fit to be Prime Minister.

Farage on #BBCBreakfast: “If Andy Burnham becomes PM we need a General Election, no mandate!” Sally Nugent: “Do your MPs who defected from the Tories have a mandate?” Watch the chancer’s face as his own logic gets rammed straight back down his throat. Pure gold. This is the

Thoughts are with all those affected by the @EastMidRailway trains that collided near Bedford. I understand it was the 1640 Corby and the Nottingham trains that collided, so not one that comes from Chesterfield for those who were wondering/ enquiring.

Would hope the two remaining men's wild cards would go to Dan Evans and Liam Broady. Would also like to see Heather Watson get the women's one. All have made good use of WCs before as well as giving great service to British Tennis over a long period.
