🚨 NEW: The Tories have mocked Lucy Powell's grammar in a post celebrating her appointment as Education Secretary

[Pippa Crerar @PippaCrerar]

I've spoken to some of those with Keir Starmer at The Grafton pub in North London on the day he left office - and while they accept that politics is a tough business - there is some residual anger over the reshuffle.

They argue that by sacking so many loyalists Andy Burnham has unnecessarily created a faction that could prove a thorn in his side - former chief sec to the PM Darren Jones has already been so.

There is also a sense that more senior male No 10 staff than female staff had survived in the new regime. Just one of the four great offices of state is now held by a woman, down from three.

Others, however, tell @peterwalker99 it's obvious that a new PM would want to bring in his own people and that the changes were handled sensitively - with Burnham calling outgoing ministers himself & special advisers given chance to discuss their futures.

But one warns: "It's less a purge of Starmerites than getting rid of people who were loyal to a Labour leader, while promoting people who were serially disloyal. That’s a dangerous message to send your MPs.”

Paul Hollywood and Nigella Lawson are reportedly “not getting on” on the new series of The Great British Bake Off.

Paul reportedly liked that Mary and Prue let him be ‘top dog’ while Nigella insists he’s ‘all rather cringe’ and finds his daily helicopter commute ‘ghastly.’ #GBBO

i think a lot about that guy in the early 1900s who went to bosnia to the last illiterate communities in europe and found out they were still reciting homer epic-length poems to each other from memory.

but when they became literate they lost the ability to remember the poems

A senior Labour source on Andy Burnham's first speech as PM: "He calls for stability after he spent a year trying to destabilise Keir. Unbelievable."

Andy Burnham is like that 26 year old teacher who wanted to be seen as 'just one of you guys' and sat on the corner of his desk, or sat on his chair the wrong way round and said stuff like: "Yeah, I'll buy that. Cool beans dude" and every single student thought he was a cunt.

Yamal a 19 ans
Il porte le numéro 19
La finale de la Coupe du monde c’est est le 19
Et il va jouer contre Messi 19 ans après être lavé par celui ci et qui portait le numero 19 à l’époque

[Annalise Keating @Ariannnyy_]

You can’t convince me life is just a series of coincidences. What do you mean Lionel Messi was randomly paired with a five-month-old baby after the baby’s family won a UNICEF raffle for a charity photoshoot while Messi played for Barcelona… and that baby grew up to be Lamine Yamal?

Lamine would go on to become one of the brightest young stars in soccer, wear the same No. 19 Messi wore for the same team when that photo was taken, and now, nearly two decades later, could face Messi in a World Cup Final???????

[. @LAHXLLUClNATlON]

the way twitter would literally explode if this happened today😭

[Stack Hodler @stackhodler]

If Argentina win tonight, the two people in this photo will face off in the World Cup Final 19 years later.

What are the odds that:

> Baby wins a raffle to get a pic with Messi

> Baby grows up to be a generational talent

> Baby becomes third youngest player to ever start a World Cup final

> Messi remains so great that he would be the oldest outfield player to ever start a final

> Both of their teams beat the odds of reaching a final in the same tournament

The odds of this happening are impossibly small.

And yet we're one game away.

The same year that photo was taken, Messi featured in an Adidas campaign about being too small to make it. The slogan:

"Impossible is Nothing."

I've been watching sports for 28 years and can confidently say this...

- Spain dominates France today
- Mbappe scores 0 goals, he can't rely on individual skill to beat a country playing like a TEAM
- Argentina beats England 3-0, Messi scores a hat trick
- Spain wins the entire World Cup

You're welcome.
