Have to say Ravi Bopara and Tash Farrant have been fantastic additions to Sky this year, complimenting the great work the whole team does @tashfarrant @ravibopara @SkyCricket

The local elections in one chart. Labour has been squeezed between the Greens in young wards and Reform in older working-class wards

Excellent from @CameronSteel44 on the range of emotions all pro cricketers feel as the end of a career approaches https://t.co/MCIdXHsfpM

“Crawley laid down his game for his country.”

Wisdom & compassion from @theoldbatsman, who recognises Crawley’s tragedy as what it is.

Strap in: Follow one of our paratroopers from @16AirAssltBCT jumping in to Tristan da Cunha – one of the world’s most remote communities – to deliver vital medical support 🪂

Argentina seems to have forgotten what happened the last time they attempted to seize the Falkland Islands from Britain.

@ZackPolanski - this is magnificent. Three things I can’t deny:

1. It is a video.
2. You are wearing a jacket.
3. Then you aren’t.
4. Then you are again.

Unfortunately that’s where the accuracy ends.

A few corrections for you:

Peter Thiel is not our CEO. Alex Karp is — and has been for 20+ years. (A lifelong Democrat, for anyone keeping score.)

We are not a “spyware company.” Spyware is malware. Malware is illegal. Calling a software company spyware is, technically, defamatory (don’t worry, we are not suing).

We don’t build surveillance technology. We build software that helps organisations make sense of data they already hold. Not the same thing.

There was no “private tour” of our HQ. There was a public photocall to which the media came. Hence, why there are so many pictures of the event.

Our MOD contract is not “the biggest defence contract in UK history.” Ajax armoured vehicles = £5.5bn. Dreadnought submarines = £31bn. We’re grateful for the work, but let’s keep a sense of scale.

We have no more access to NHS data than Microsoft has to the contents of your Word documents. I think you know this by now.

We don’t have access to patient medical records. Same story.

I agree that “nothing matters more than our health.” Which makes it worth reminding you of what Palantir’s software is actually doing in the NHS right now:

->110,000 additional operations
->15% fewer delayed hospital discharges
->7% more patients finding out within 28 days whether they have cancer

Respect again for what you did with that jacket.

Matt Fitzpatrick was asked about his reaction to the crowds down the stretch at the RBC Heritage:

"It didn't get out of line in terms of no one was shouting on backswings or anything like that, which was great. I'm all for it. I love the people -- they're supporting Scottie; that's great. You want golf to have an atmosphere in my opinion. I grew up watching football. I'm paid so much money to be out there in front of those crowds, having them chanting at you every week, it's great feeling.

"However, there's no better feeling than coming out on top against that. There isn't a better feeling."

[ALASTAIR CAMPBELL @campbellclaret]

Only watched the opening of Olly Robbins’ evidence because @RoryStewartUK and I were recording this week’s @RestIsPolitics and trying to follow simultaneously (multitasking!!) From what I saw and hear from people whose judgement I trust it is clear he is a big loss to the civil service. As for Rory’s views on the PM … not for the faint-hearted…

An important point of etiquette - if you're going on a podcast, it's just plain rude not to dress up for it in a dinner jacket. https://t.co/giK1O1DHuh

@holland_tom Are you going to be making a guest appearance on the pod 👀

[Isabelle Westbury @izzywestbury]

Why did the French readily embrace rugby but not cricket?

We missed an opportunity there - imagine a Bordeaux or two at lunch, world class cuisine, a cheese board for the ages, pastries at tea & an attitude towards everything that it shouldn’t be taken too seriously. 🧀🍷🥐

Thanks to all the team that put the London Defence Conference together…great topics + great debate + great people = great conference.

Obviously, should the ball came loose from the back of the scrum…
