Jamal’s decapitation was “sad” but at least she’s “got food.” Jeez. #JamalKhashoggi #NewcastleTakeover — PolitiTweet.org

@mrsmacchan @dmoscotia I’m not. Referenced “some fans.” — PolitiTweet.org

Quick tweet. Happy to chat to Newcastle supporters about why I opposed sportswashing at today’s Commons @CommonsDCMS But if you post abuse from anonymous accounts you’ll get blocked so you’re really wasting your time. If you send threats to my office they’ll go to the police. — PolitiTweet.org

JOHN NICOLSON M.P. @MrJohnNicolson

@mrsmacchan @dmoscotia Of course. Murder too “political” to interrupt celebrations. — PolitiTweet.org

@Kristo86 I get that. I suspect #JamalKhashoggi ‘s wife will find it harder to see the joke. — PolitiTweet.org

JOHN NICOLSON M.P. @MrJohnNicolson

@Kristo86 @CommonsDCMS @MailSport I wasn’t an MP when that takeover happened. Ergo I couldn’t ask questions in Parliament about it. — PolitiTweet.org

@jaimsiem @tariqpanja @CommonsDCMS It was a Commons Committee on recent BBC Sports football coverage. That was the subject of today’s hearing. — PolitiTweet.org

JOHN NICOLSON M.P. @MrJohnNicolson

@Garymiller69Gm @robgl @caravanorak It doesn’t “suit” me Gary. I‘ve ZERO interest in whether your club wins or loses football games. I couldn’t care less who wins your league. I know this is incomprehensible to you, but that’s how it is. Today was Commons Sports Committee. We ask sports Qs not defence Qs. — PolitiTweet.org

@LinnheD Did you read the tweet? — PolitiTweet.org

JOHN NICOLSON M.P. @MrJohnNicolson

@IndScotYes @CommonsDCMS I’m hiring Gary when the call comes. I think he’s got the eye for accuracy and detail my new boss Boris Johnson will appreciate. — PolitiTweet.org

JOHN NICOLSON M.P. @MrJohnNicolson

You said I had big links with Qatar. It’s nonsense. And the “little vested interest” suggestion is both untrue and libellous. — PolitiTweet.org

JOHN NICOLSON M.P. @MrJohnNicolson

@Garymiller69Gm @CommonsDCMS What? That doesn’t make even the most basic sense. — PolitiTweet.org

JOHN NICOLSON M.P. @MrJohnNicolson

@Garymiller69Gm Can’t you google Gary? That’s really the daftest tweet. — PolitiTweet.org

JOHN NICOLSON M.P. @MrJohnNicolson

This guy thinks I’m part of the UK Government…. Jeez. @CommonsDCMS — PolitiTweet.org

JOHN NICOLSON M.P. @MrJohnNicolson

I’ve no links of any kind to Qatar. Never been there. Don’t know any Qataris. Never worked for any Qatari firm. So this is made up nonsense. @CommonsDCMS — PolitiTweet.org

JOHN NICOLSON M.P. @MrJohnNicolson

@Wingman1882 @premierleague Obviously I’d have felt the same. The issue isn’t the club or the league but sports-washing murder. — PolitiTweet.org

“John Nicolson MP said ‘I'm trying to imagine what it must be like to be #JamalKhashoggi ‘s widow. Her husband was chopped up & murdered yet she sees numpties dancing around in cod-Arabic dresses outside Newcastle United. That must be heart-rending.” https://t.co/FxBSYoz9Nj — PolitiTweet.org

JOHN NICOLSON M.P. @MrJohnNicolson

“BBC Sport's #NewcastleTakeover coverage was called into question by John Nicolson MP, who said it had downplayed human rights concerns. He said BBC Sport had a moral obligation to focus on Saudi sportswashing.” @CommonsDCMS https://t.co/USvBSMvTbh via @MailSport — PolitiTweet.org

JOHN NICOLSON M.P. @MrJohnNicolson

@PaulHenry11 @CommonsDCMS No. You are aware that I’m not a UK Government supporting MP? — PolitiTweet.org

@jaimsiem @tariqpanja @CommonsDCMS I’m not responsible for journalistic choices made by the media in Scotland. Today’s Commons session was about recent BBC coverage of football. — PolitiTweet.org

@PaulHenry11 @CommonsDCMS Err not sure what your point is. — PolitiTweet.org

@GY1Matt Oh I don’t know. Numpties pretty mild as a critical word. — PolitiTweet.org

@gallagher1927 @PeterGrantMP @CommonsDCMS I’ve raised this precise issue - their human rights abuses and treatment of workers - at a previous session. — PolitiTweet.org

@Garymiller69Gm Realistically I’m not going to be able to change Saudi domestic policy. But I can highlight the regime’s crimes at occasions like today. — PolitiTweet.org
