If European Digital Sovereignty is to mean anything, it ought to mean NOT posting on a platform owned and run by a fascist intent on undermining the EU!
And don't give me the bullshit you have to be there for "balance" or "reach" - the rules are stacked against you from the outset

Bloody hell. Proper batting. Imagine if we did this whenever the situ merited and bazballed say 2 sessions a test. Would become multifaceted with a functioning cricket brain. One can hope. #ashes

Really interested to see where (English) test cricket goes next. It can't go back to 4 month tours and 2 runs per over, but in context of modern game there has to be reversion to 'normality'. Bazball has been an entertaining but reckless experiment. It needs binning irrespective of personnel. #ashes

I'm really pleased that the accusations against Farage are quite rightly not going away. He appears very, very rattled and deservedly so.
This is very long overdue.

I am definitely Baz out. Losing heavily to a world class team is one thing. Losing heavily to one in decline whilst batting recklessly and with no preparation is quite another. #ashes

The thing to note is that all the lads were boiling with white hot fury at old Jezza, but they will all at very least sit on their hands for Farage. Because the latter might be a fascist but he’s officer class, and he’ll listen to a lot important people who matter rather than disregarding them.

If you need to understand what's happening, this farce is a perfect place to begin.
A broken, unhappy man is being given a fake award he doesn't deserve by a corrupt group looking to bribe him and earn favors. It's meaningless, everything he wants, and it won't matter to him within an hour.

The "don't have an extra kid if you can't afford it" brigade get awfully upset when you suggest they don't stay in their £2m house if they can't afford it, don't they?

The UK, where the day after a decision to take half a million children out of poverty, the media & political world has been full of sneering at those same children & their families, labelling them as ‘Benefits Street’, while the same people are moaning about a tax on £2m mansions. Shameful stuff.

A reminder that almost all of the "migration crisis" of the last 18 months is a manufactured one – and probably says more about how much X has poisoned our politics than anything about realities on the ground.
NEW: Net migration falls sharply to 204,000 in the year to June.
That’s a fall from 649,000 in the year to June 2024. It is a drop of nearly 80% from its 2023 peak.

I thought, given the paucity of ambition, and the terrible inheritance it was actually an okay #budget. Where is the mission and vision?

Serious howls of outrage in the media this morning at what is a relatively modest Budget from Labour that does nothing more than fiddle around the margins.
It does highlight the missed opportunity. If you’re going to get this reaction anyway, why not at least get it for attempting a big swing?

Well said deputy speaker. Media vox popping the shit out of #thebudget and G briefings pre budget day was always going to heighten risks of leaks like this. G and Media has to do better.

Listen to the rapturous applause as a student does the job our press and media won’t, and holds Reform UK’s Richard Tice to account over his lies RE his connection to ex-REFUK Wales leader Nathan Gill, recently jailed for 10+ yrs for taking Russian bribes as an MEP.

Great innings by Head, obviously. But going to bumpers 8 overs in after failing to leave balls when batting. Basically fed him 90 of his runs...inexcusable from England. Cricket isnt ice skating. You dont win marks for artistic impression. Pretty angry tbh. Brainless. #theashes #ashes
