I am playing tennis tomorrow. If I get a bad call I am going to smash my racket, protest that I am a father (so!), call my opponent a thief, demand an apology and claim that I have been treated differently because of my gender. Than I will go home and grow up.

What of Suleimanis deeds before his death? The murdered people in his own country? The woman imprisoned for not covering their hair? The teachers imprisoned for requesting a living wage? The peril of being gay or an environmentalist, lawyer or journalist? Only now you protest?

Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab’s declaration of ‘sympathy' for Trump’s reckless and lawless killing of Iranian general Qassem Suleimani is craven and dangerous. Boris Johnson’s government must oppose this escalation towards another devastating war in the Middle East.

Friendly note to media. Kyle Edmund is not a beginner who wandered into the Australian Open and happened to win 5 excellent matches. Kyle has made the 4th round of the US Open and is a Davis Cup winner. There is no such thing as an overnight success in pro sport.

Serena Williams was fined $175,000 after the 2009 #USOpen s/f meltdown v Clijsters. This will be hefty too. Not sure how any unbiased observer who knows the rules and history of tennis can look at what happened and defend Serena.
