What are the odds on a @SkyCricket pundits panel later this test series that includes Ben Stokes and Kane Williamson?! 🤭 #EngvNZ

A great player retires... But bizarre to embark on a test tour like this and abruptly retire in the middle of it. Graeme Swann did it, and that also felt really odd. bbc.co.uk/sport/cricket/arti…

Exciting test match but some very low balls coming through, ending good innings by Bethell and Smith. Not a great Lord's wicket... #PeaRollers

Why do journalists take this sort of thing? Because they grit their teeth and believe it’s better to keep on holding Donald Trump to account than to defend themselves and their reputations. But no other US president has spoken to reporters like this.

Source unknown, but very useful to throw at a lamppost lover.

How depressing to hear some in the crowd *booing* after Wu Yize beat Mark Allen in a thrilling #snooker semi-final in Sheffield. Come on, people - what a match and what a finish!

🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

Ooo-er... POTUS close to breaking the Royal protocol that you never relay externally something the monarch may have said to you. (Or, er, didn't actually say). @realDonaldTrump may want to impose his Iran and Ukraine thinking onto #KingCharles, but his comments cross a line!

Sorry to hear this news. I remember Big Jim talking a lot of sense on Talkback in the 1990s, with David Dunseith. RIP Jim.

A final piece of advice from Holly Butcher - written the day before she passed away from cancer at just 27: “It’s a strange thing knowing you’re going to die young. At 26, I thought I had time… To fall in love. Start a family. Grow old. But cancer doesn’t care about plans. Now, I understand how fragile life really is. Every single day is a gift, not a guarantee. I’m not writing this to scare you. I’m writing to remind you: really live. Stop stressing over little things. Be kind to your body- move it, nourish it, stop criticizing it. One day you’ll wish you had appreciated it. Go outside. Look at the sky. Feel the sun. Just be. Spend less time chasing “stuff” - more time making memories. Don’t skip moments with people you love. Laugh more. Write a note. Tell someone you love them. Complain less. Give more. Helping others brings more joy than anything you can buy. Be present. Put your phone down. Show up - really show up. You don’t need to have it all figured out. You don’t need a perfect body, or a perfect life. Just follow what makes your heart light up. Say no to what drains you. Make changes when you need to. And please - donate blood. I wouldn’t have had that extra year without it. And that year gave me memories I’ll hold close… forever. Thank you for reading this. Live your life well. And maybe… we’ll meet again someday.” Holly 🩷 Repost & share Holly’s important advice. ❤️

Golly, gets confusing when 3 brands merge. MBNA is... Mastercard ... is now... Visa. Keep up!

Hilarious

A White House spokesperson says any implication that people linked to the Trump admin have used inside info to make big profits from putting bets on US attacks on Iran, peace deals or falls in the price of oil is ‘baseless and irresponsible reporting’. Phew — that’s a relief.

Very sad to see this news. I didn't know Andy, but I did know he was a proper journalist at heart. RIP bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cn9q…

JD Vance is lecturing the Pope on Catholicism and Pierre Poilievre is lecturing Mark Carney on economics and RFK Jr is lecturing scientists about vaccines and Donald Trump is lecturing the world on tariffs and Pete Hegseth is quoting Pulp Fiction and thinking it’s the Bible

Ukraine is victim of an unprovoked invasion by a barbaric totalitarian killing machine. And the VP of the USA says he’s proud not to be helping it. Immoral, callous charlatan. Let’s hope we never hear of him again after 2028.

🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

😍😍

How demeaning. POTUS loses the plot. #unhinged #trump Suddenly we are not in the Oval Office, but in a bar, near closing time.
