Rarely in history has a nation so willingly and deliberately shot itself in the foot, yet continued to insist that the wound is an improvement. Brexit, what a waste of time and effort. https://t.co/vp6rb57Nq6

📸 - Mexico have conceded 0 goals in 3 World Cup matches, 9/9 possibles points as of now.
They are winning 2-0 in the 77th minute… and Memo Ochoa comes on for a TRIBUTE to his legendary career.
He is not the starter in this World Cup and there was NO need for him to play today, but he still got his moment for one last dance.
HISTORIC. THIS IS WHY WE LOVE THE WORLD CUP. 🇲🇽❤️
🚨🇿🇦🇲🇽 Mexico and South Africa fly to World Cup round of 32! ✨

Mexico win the group with 3/3 wins. 🌪️
10 years ago today we were digesting the Brexit vote. To be for Remain was to be tarred with being liberal establishment southerners - disciples of experts. Ten years on Britain, Europe and the west are all the weaker. We were right. And we must always have the courage to say so.
Fresh from Andy Burnham's victory in the Makerfield by-election, the public are divided in their opinion on the man expected to be the next prime minister
Favourable: 34% (+4 from 14-15 June)
Unfavourable: 38% (-3)
Net: -4 (+7)
Note: fieldwork largely conducted prior to Starmer's resignation
I think the issues now is when, and not if, we reach “Crossover”. The point where Reform are no longer ahead in the polls. And what the internal and external reaction will be.
Andy Burnham leads a list of politicians as the politician most likely to do a good job as Prime Minister.
35% of Britons believe Burnham would do a good job, putting him ahead of Kemi Badenoch at 29% and Nigel Farage at 27%.
How does voting intention change, when party leaders are named with Burnham as hypothetical Labour leader.
Labour go from 7pts behind Reform, to 1pts ahead gaining 6pts
Reform, Greens, Lib Dems also lose votes
The Tories gain one point.
Combined right/left share barely changes.
