Had to put the sad 13 yr old to bed with words ‘you’ve got plenty of tournaments left in your life to see England win one’. Get downstairs and im thinking “Christ how many have I got left at this rate!”

New post, on why people shouldn't 'never-skill' themselves with AI: kucharski.substack.com/p/dont-never...

are we closed because of the game? or are we closed because we're never open on Mondays? the answer to one of these questions is yes, and you must look inside your heart to learn which

Bring on the megafauna finale of Haaland versus Dan Burn

No way we win that game in extra time given 10 men and players exhausted. Taking Kane off literally bets the whole World Cup on winning it in 90. Not convinced Rogers was the right sub on, but that’s big management chutzpah. No way Southgate does that.

Henderson reaching John Terry levels here. Doesn’t play but manages to get booked and get stretchered off in front the media

Pickford should be knighted after this game

Pickford is turning into Gordon Banks here

So glad I have Shearer here to tell me it’s a good idea not to concede another goal.

But great men tremble when the lion roars

All the evidence points to conclusion that Cottrell doesn’t have serous money. So where is he getting the money he spent on Farage?

The BBC could steal a march on that pompous-looking Christopher Nolan film by putting this up on the IPlayer.

The team writing the strategy are going to have a lot of corporate lobbyists selling them Kool Ideaz™️ just now, but a good strategy for a PM who wants to be liked is to start by talking about skills and jobs for young people, who are quite literally the future of the tech industry

England hasn't attacked this ineffectually on 1st July since The Somme.

Spotted at Walton on Thames Cricket Club yesterday….

England could have won this by playing normal Test cricket against a bowling attack held together by elastaplast and bandages. Stokes should have been prevented from opening the batting and playing like there were three overs left. #ENGNZ

Reminder of Great British Patriot!! Nigel Farage, laughing his socks off as the pound crashed on the night of the EU Ref 10 years ago Making the rest of us poorer

I hope Hull History Centre won't mind me sharing this lovely letter from Roy Hattersley's papers, on the sad news of his passing aged 93. RIP.

Andy Mitten is so much better to listen to than Goldbridge. Andy talks facts & has links with United including 20 years knowing Michael Carrick. He goes to watch United every week Goldbridge's views are based on promoting his own image and simply guesswork that any of us could offer

We’ve seen it all, we’ve won the lot!!! OT rocking #mufc

What a goal from Mainoo! #mufc

Nightmare second half for united this

'Ooo remembers Macclesfield v Man City?'

I'm not joking when I say mRNA technology is more important than "AI" and it's a tragedy we're throwing billions into one while our government is aggressively defunding the other.

When Angela Rayner underpaid £40,000 in stamp duty, Richard Tice said it was "morally completely indefensible” and she should resign if she had “any moral decency”. Now we learn he set up four shell companies that let him avoid paying £100,000 he owed in tax and to then transfer the cash to Reform

Our new report: Richard Tice signed accounts wrongly claiming £98,000 of tax exemptions A 🧵 with the evidence:

Pouring one out for Jimmy Hill tonight.

Today in THIS CHANGES EVERYTHING, we always assumed that the dickhead in this meme was Heston. We apologise to Heston, but not to Gregggggg. THIS CHANGES EVERYTHING. #Mastertwat

Finally a bit of good news for the UK economy

He's finally gone full Macbeth.

Trump: “I could be Pope, you know, if I wanted. And they’re saying I should be. Isn’t that right? Some people said this. They say I’d be the most powerful pope the world has ever seen. Who knows? I might do it. I like white clothes. But I’d probably change it to 24-karat gold. It’d be so expensive.”

Unbelievable statement here in the impact statement for the Govts policy on energy standards in social housing. They have chosen the option that will bring LESS people out of fuel poverty! www.gov.uk/government/c...

A job for Darrius Jedburgh and a Harrods carrier bag (Edge of Darkness Ep 5, Northmoor, Tx 25 November 1985)

It is absolutely stupid that a major focus of policy response to the Iran War is on the planned 1p rise in fuel duty in September (watching Trevor Phillips interview Bridget Phillipson). Of no help now to anyone to abandon it. Shows how trivial our political debate has become.

'The findings are uncomfortable. Students are submitting work they cannot fully explain, facing AI policies that do not function in practice, and responding strategically to assessment systems that reward production over understanding.' 1/3

Oh nooz, there goes the Strait of Hormuz! Go, go Godzilla!🐲

This is a dreadful sentence.

Ok Mr Trump it's getting serious now. Have to finish the war in time for the cricket season.

They’re telling me a great empire will be destroyed if I attack Persia. Even the oracles who don’t like me very much, very nasty, they all said to me, “Sir, it’s one of the great empires, and it’ll be destroyed. And all because you attacked Persia.” That’s what they’re telling me.

I'm reminded of one of the conclusions in my biography of King John: 'He set about needlessly provoking people when he felt strong, then desperately trying to win them back when his confidence had evaporated.'

Possible solution to the Strait of Hormuz?

It’s crystal clear now that Trump has lost control of this war. He badly misjudged Iran’s ability to retaliate. The region is on fire. 1/ I’m going to explain to you in this🧵what I’ve learned - in part from closed door briefings - about the four biggest current crises.

"We have already destroyed 100% of the Normans’ military capability, but it’s easy for them to shoot a close-range arrow somewhere along, or in, this Battlefield, no matter how badly defeated they are.”

How it started ... How it's going

Regarding Iran's threats to the Strait, Trump claims, "We have the greatest mine sweeping ability." Um, no. 1/4
