9 points + 2.5 terrible performances = All the boys get dropped from the national teams

Great start! 👍🏾

Huge thanks to Mark & Nick - I really enjoyed chatting to them about my research last week!

Conversations like these remind me that working in Sri Lanka was an honour, and get me excited about the future of cricket on the island. If anyone wants to learn more, get in touch.

Very proud to open the first @vittles.bsky.social magazine with a ‘barnstormer of an investigation’ on curry awards

'Fun' was our watchword when compiling Issue 1. Food can be many serious things in disguise - class, economics, migration - but it is also absurd, a testament to the extreme lengths to which humans have gone in order to make things delicious. Issue 1, therefore, is filled with charlatans, hustlers, frauds, arguments and gossip. It opens with the most entertaining piece we've ever published: David Jesudason's barnstormer of an investigation into the organisations that run Britain's various curry awards — a long-read so full of animosity (and uncles) that it also wins the dubious honour of being the first essay we've had to fully legal. In a dispatch from Karachi, the great Sanam Maher has written about the family who first brought sushi, kicking and screaming, to Pakistan, dispelling the myth that South Asian food is all about tradition and your grandmother's time-honoured recipes.
Meanwhile, Aaron Timms, our finest critic of the absurdities of modern food culture, sends a scathing report from New York on the exploits of four of our ludicrous privately-educated exports - the food influencers Eating with Tod, Jolly, Topjaw, and Thomas Straker
- and their attempts to crack America.

Scottish Labour has broken a solemn promise to save #Grangemouth Who’d now trust Labour leader Anas Sarwar? But what of the new Grangemouth Labour MP? Having misled voters so egregiously surely if he’s any sense of honour he’ll resign? More here… youtu.be/mN9R2Ggu4F0?...

When America grieves the President is, traditionally, Comforter-in-Chief. Not so #Trump Faced with a fatal plane crash he blamed “mentally disabled” air traffic controllers. He’s incapable of human empathy. It’s not normal. More over on my YouTube channel. youtu.be/1lnH9eo6jec?...

Arsenal V Man City today

City seem to have found their groove and feel Arsenal are boxing through with 1 nils... who do you think will win?

Or is a draw on the cards?

So - #Trump hasn’t ended the war against #Ukraine or slashed food prices. But he has banned #LGBT flags & declared all Americans female. I look back on the very stable genius’ first week. Have a watch & please subscribe (free) to my YouTube channel! youtu.be/W7ERQ1ybJYg

What if you got free public transport to and from Heathrow when you bought a ticket for a flight?

So a free Heathrow Express ticket from Paddington or a National Express bus ticket from other major cities

Would that mitigate the environmental issues around a third run way

Remember the #Trump election promises? He’d stop war against #Ukraine on day 1 & slash egg prices? War still raging & food prices still rising. But the very stable genius has banned #LGBT flags & declared all Americans female. More on my YouTube channel! youtu.be/W7ERQ1ybJYg?...
