The Lions have lost another all-time great. Fergus Slattery played every minute of all 4 Tests for The Invincibles in South Africa in 1974. He is the 7th member of that Test XV to pass away following JPR, JJ, Phil Bennett, Ian McLauchlan, Gordon Brown, Mervyn Davies

Britain has 17.5 million hectares of agricultural land.

65% of it cannot grow a single crop.

Too thin. Too high. Too wet. Too steep. The kind of slope where a tractor becomes a story they tell in the village pub for generations.

It grows grass. Because grass is what evolved to grow there.

The cow eats the grass. The sheep eats the grass.

Your stomach cannot eat the grass.

Take the ruminants off and the food production from that land becomes zero.

Not lower.

Zero.

The ruminant is not blocking a better option.

The ruminant is the only option.

The activist who wants the ruminant removed is not reducing meat consumption.

He is outsourcing it. To Brazilian feedlots on cleared rainforest, shipped six thousand miles in a refrigerated container.

The British hill goes to bracken.

The Amazon goes to soy.

The supermarket label changes from Hereford to Mato Grosso.

This is presented as the ethical position.

It is the most expensively packaged self-deception in modern politics.

BREAKING: Jen Psaki just hit a MAJOR nerve with a story on Eric Trump’s China trip — and now he’s suing her.

As she does most every night on her MS Now program, Jen Psaki did a monologue on a current topic in the news. This time, however, Eric Trump lost his mind over what she had to say
.
The 42-year-old executive vice president of the Trump Organization took to X Wednesday night to threaten a lawsuit against Psaki and MS NOW after she reported on his presence alongside his father during the presidential trip to China — and connected it to a Financial Times story about a family-linked company pursuing a deal with a Chinese chipmaker tied to the Communist Party.

"I have NEVER been on the board of ALT5," Eric fumed, adding that he has "zero business interests in China. No properties, no investments, nothing!" He concluded by insisting he joined the trip purely as "a loving son who adores my father."

Sweet. But Psaki didn't make up the Financial Times reporting. She cited it.

That report describes how ALT5 Sigma — a fintech company connected to Eric and the Trump family's crypto venture, World Liberty Financial — has a memorandum of understanding to explore a deal with a Chinese computer chip manufacturer to build AI data centers. Congress has warned that the Chinese firm in question has connections to the Chinese Communist Party. Eric and his brother were photographed ringing the New York Stock Exchange opening bell with the ALT5 name displayed behind them.

Neither ALT5 nor the Chinese firm responded to the Financial Times for comment. The deal may or may not be real. But the reporting exists, and it raises exactly the questions Psaki raised.

And those questions don't stop there. Just last month, Eric was on Fox Business bragging that one of his companies scored a $24 million Pentagon contract. Don Jr.'s company landed a nearly $5 million Air Force contract. Both brothers are now part-owners of a drone company angling for major Pentagon deals — while their father's administration controls Pentagon spending.

All of this is happening while Trump's $10 billion IRS lawsuit seeks to shield the entire Trump family from financial audits. Forever.

Eric wants to sue Psaki for asking whether someone should check the books. That answer tells you everything.

It’s being reported that Britain is preparing for food shortages because of the Iran war. This sort of food supply jeopardy would be significant reduced if British governments actually prioritised and supported British farmers. Food for thought.

Could everyone please repost and share this tweet. I don’t normally ask, but this corner of Norfolk is going to be covered by solar panels and infrastructure the equivalent of 43,200 tennis courts. This insanity must be stopped. Thank you

[Cardiff Rugby @Cardiff_Rugby]

Saddened to learn of the passing of Mike 'Spikey' Watkins.

Spikey joined @Cardiff_RFC in 1975 & played 118 times for the Blue & Blacks, before departing in 84.

He went on to star for Newport & win Wales honours. Our thoughts are with his family & friends.
