Here's a 🎶 twist on @coldplay's thumping #VivaLaVida we're calling "Puppets on a Kremlin String?" It reflects on the grotesque disrespectful media spectacle hosted by #Trump & #Vance yesterday at the White House. In solidarity with @ZelenskyyUa 🇺🇦

Rather striking, what’s happened since the 2016 Brexit referendum…

Unbelievably crass, unfair and sad decision not to grant the Gold medal men’s eight from Paris recognition in the New Year Honours list

Brexit is having “profound and ongoing” negative impact on UK goods exports and imports, latest @jundu_econ analysis finds. No one lives in the counter factual world, but leaving single marks continues to cost UK. And 2023 was worse! 1/2

What an utterly inspiring performance by the W4x today. Their trust in each other and their joy in each other’s company shone through. And kudos to the Dutch; a race for the ages and real dignity in what must have been a heartbreaking finish for them.

A swimming related question: why do they not wear team branded kit? It’s only the swim caps not the swim suits. Pourquoi?

Sad to see so many empty seats at Paris Olympics. Too greedy on ticket pricing?

Congratulations @ThamesRC not only for a sensational set of results @HenleyRegatta across all club events but also for being the fastest VIII on Sunday at 6 mins 23s. Is that the first time @fatsculler that the fastest VIII in the finals came from the Thames Cup?

Sunak’s wine legacy.
The highest rates of duty on wine in Europe, with 64 bands of duty (to replace just 2!) from 1 Feb 2025.
Will the next government do the right thing - it’s a simple move - and help businesses and consumers?

Just watched 20 Days in Mariupol. Truly painful and awful to watch … but as the months go by it’s so important to remember the ongoing horror of what is happening in Ukraine. 20daysinmariupol.com/
