Meet the man of the match
"Migrants, illegal or legal, weren't responsible for austerity. That was the Conservative government. Migrants were not responsible for Brexit. Migrants were not responsible for Liz Truss' failure of leadership." Brilliant audience contribution 👏 #bbcqt

The decision to invest €30-million in the world’s biggest bike parking (12,500 spaces) at Utrecht Central Station seems extravagant, but when you calculate the cost of the alternatives—in the context of tens of thousands of bike-train trips each day—it’s an absolute bargain...🧵

The Netherlands’ systematic approach to road safety—especially on walking and cycling—is a textbook application of the Hierarchy of Controls: an industrial method which identifies a preferred order of actions to best reduce hazard exposure based on their general effectiveness…🧵

The FA agreed to scrap FA Cup replays because of “expanded European” demands on seven elite Premier League clubs who don’t enter the Cup until the third round anyway, have big squads and some will go on post-season tours or to the Fifa Club World Cup. Such a senseless, heartless decision highlighted this weekend with Non-League clubs like Weston-super-Mare, Hednesford Town, Guiseley, Southend United and others denied a replay, a chance of more revenue and potential memories for a lifetime. The Cup is a great competition, a historic institution that should be cherished and better protected. The game is about David as well as Goliath. #FACup

You’ll barely notice, but this arterial road is intersected by several side streets. Rather than sinking humans down into the space of crossing cars, the foot and cycle paths are raised, continuous and prioritized—reducing driver entitlement. This should be standard everywhere.

Thanks for everything Joe Worrall. Captained us at Wembley to return us to the promised land. Phenomenal that year in the promotion season. Unreal at Chelsea away straight after the sad passing of his uncle. He bleeds red. Go well Skipper. ❤️❤️ Lived the dream #NFFC
Joe Worrall, former Nottingham Forest captain, is close to joining Burnley. Worrall, 27, is heading north after saying goodbyes to #NFFC team-mates. Medical scheduled and, if final details agreed, he will join #burnleyfc promotion push. @TheAthleticFC nytimes.com/athletic/5714413…

If you have a few moments to listen to this interview as a parent with your child. Possible one of the best post race interviews I have ever watched #PlayOn

Hey @easyJet I left a review on TP for your car hire partner in Pisa. The delightful #Surprice car rentals. Rude, disinterested, cars are filthy and they were ANGRY about me not taking their ‘optional’ gap insurance. I’d find another partner - reflects badly on @easyJet

Cancelling HS2 Phase 2 means no 900-seat trains London<>Birmingham<>Manchester, fares now need to rise to throttle demand on the existing line: bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c725… But it's worse than that, see next tweet... 1/3

Must watch on leaving the ECHR #BBCQT Lady in glasses, "Are you really considering leaving the ECHR to push forward the Rwanda policy which is inhumane" *Huge clap from the audience while the camera shows Rishi Sunak looks like a rabbbit in headlights* Rishi Sunak, "15 other European countries signed a statement about asylum seekers.. You have your view.. I disagree" Fiona Bruce, "Will you leave the ECHR?" Rishi Sunak, "I disagree with you. 15 other European countries signed the statement and agree with me" Lady in glasses, "Didn't the UK Supreme Court call it unlawful?" Rishi Sunak, "We passed a new piece of legislation.. If a foreign court including the ECHR forces me to chose between our security and a foriegn court, I chose our security every single time" *audience shout out shame* Fiona Bruce, "When you say it's a foreign court.. Great Britain set it up and we have a UK judge on the ECHR" Rishi Sunak, "Yes, but it is in Strasbourg.. It's not a British court" Fiona Bruce, "We were instrumental in setting it up" Rishi Sunak waffles then looks away to another question Fiona Bruce asks the questioner what she said Lady in glasses, "I asked if he's considering leaving the ECHR.. Rishi Sunak is putting words in my mouth" Arrogant, entitled, populist, drivel from Prime Minister Rishi Sunak
