The game was perfectly set up to bring on fresh attacking subs after we scored and kill the game off and Tuchel bottled it

As Argentina was throwing in the towel at the end of the Falklands War, journalist Max Hastings, incredibly, walked into occupied Stanley ahead of the British forces. He speaks to the dejected Argentine soldiers and asks if they’re surrendering. Some of them glare at him but he meets no resistance. He then continues to the town pub, the Upland Goose, where he's met with cheers. The landlord says: “We never doubted for a moment that the British would come… Would you like a drink?”

Fact is, England need to make it to the World Cup final because who else is going to boo the entire half-time show??

I don't usually write personal stuff, but a few words about my experience of being interviewed by Gary Stevenson.

It started with a nice chat, comparing taste in hoodies... then the tone changed. He demanded to know why I'd deleted a tweet criticising him.

I will accept Nigel Farage’s request to be appointed Steward and Bailiff of the Manor of Northstead.

It is a farce and a desperate distraction, and the people of Clacton deserve better.

But if he wants to spend the summer arguing with a bin, I won't stop him.

Unease about gentrification?

Here’s what Ancoats looked like 10yrs ago

There are now entirely new areas of the city that didn’t exist a decade ago.

They have shops, homes businesses etc.

Would the greens prefer we had crumbling warehouses and fenced off car parks?

Te odio, Cooling Break. Odio que cortes el partido a los 22 minutos, odio que pares todo para los cortes comerciales, odio tus publicidades, odio tu pausa de hidratación que no sirve para nada. Odio que creas que esto es la NFL. Odio toda tu existencia. Te odio, Cooling Break.

Extraordinarily - and this seems to demonstrate a complete disregard of the seriousness of defence at the heart of government - John Healey was only told what the offer was for additional defence funding on Monday afternoon.

I am told Number 10 then tried to rush and publish the Defence Investment Plan on Thursday.

Then a handbrake was applied by Mr Healey and his military chiefs. The (now ex) defence secretary made clear that racing to release the blueprint without a settlement that had been accepted by him and his team would be a risk for defence and for its soldiers, sailors and aviators.

You can only imagine the tone of the exchange that must have taken place - and I know that people were in the MOD until very late last night.

But John Healey firmly believes the settlement was inadequate and, if left unchallenged, would not enable the UK to keep the country safe or meet its international commitments - such as help defend Ukraine in the event of a ceasefire with Russia.

A key detail is that Mr Healey believes defence spending must be increased to 3% of GDP by 2030, up from 2.3% now. This would guarantee tens of billions of additional pounds for defence.

But - despite the stakes and the position of the defence secretary - the Prime Minister and Chancellor agreed just to inch it up to 2.68% of GDP within that time frame, after hitting a new target of 2.6% next year (which is already being inflated by lumping in the 0.1% that is spent on the intelligence agencies).

Utterly incredible.

What must our allies and our adversaries be thinking, let alone everyone in the UK armed forces and, frankly, everyone in our country?

We all rely on a secure UK to live, work, go to school, enjoy holidays, access healthcare, spend time with friends and families.

This is not a divine right. It happens because we have security - something that might not be apparent until or unless it is compromised...

The Treasury has been the real problem at the heart of the Defence Investment Plan for months. Everyone in and around defence knew it. Now the Defence Secretary has said so publicly, and resigned.

I knew John Healey when he was shadow Defence Secretary and I was the SNP’s defence spokesman. He understood what was actually at stake, and took it seriously. He won’t have done this lightly.

The DIP was supposed to turn the government’s defence commitments into funded reality. It’s been delayed and fought over for the best part of a year while the threat environment has got worse, not better. Starmer needs to treat this resignation - arguably the most significant yet - as the warning it is.

People are so incredibly mean to this woman because she actually had to live through the consequences of their favourite theocracy and didn’t say it was epic wholesome chungus.

Hasan Piker is an apologist for China’s oppression of the Uyghurs, Russia’s invasion of Crimea, the Assad regime, Hamas, Hezbollah and the Houthis.

Whatever your view on the ban is, it is not simply because he is a “critic of Israel”.
