There’ll be noise tomorrow about the prison capacity crisis. But the people who should be released first - the people who should have been released *yesterday* - are those subject to cruel IPP sentences.

Long abolished.

A stain introduced by Labour.

It’s time to right a wrong.

@IanDunt Super thread here on changes he's made to England's process so that doesn't happen again in a penalty shoot out. https://t.co/nU9Zi4PKm9

[Geir Jordet @GeirJordet]

A subtle England penalty shootout innovation (since 2021) is their deliberate, structured & functional use of social psychology.

Here, Saka is picked up by John Stones after his penalty, to swiftly welcome him back in the team.

What did England do and why did they do it?

Jimmy Anderson's 701 test wickets per prime minister here. Really loved the rose garden years but at his absolute peak during the brief Cameron majority.

Blair 46
Brown 110
Cameron (coalition) 241
Cameron (outright) 57
May 121
Johnson 89
Truss 3
Sunak 33
Starmer 1*

As James Anderson is about to end his international career I wanted to write this thread.
It’s about this inswinger to Marlon Samuels that trapped Marlon plumb in front in the Bridgetown test in 2015.
It’s one of my favorite spells of fast bowling in Test cricket .

Lisa Nandy to DCMS staff:

“For too long, for too many people, the story we tell ourselves, about ourselves as a nation has not reflected them, their communities or their lives.

This is how polarisation, division and isolation thrives.

In recent years we’ve found multiple ways to divide ourselves from one another.

And lost that sense of a self-confident, outward looking country which values its own people in every part of the UK.

Changing that is the mission of this department.

*The era of culture wars is over.*”
