"That's the best interview I've ever seen!" 🤣

Our pundits found Harry Kane's post-match interview hilarious... but he took it like a champ 😂💪

@SeppBlatter Imagine Blatter calling you out for corruption.

That’s the greatest England performance I’ve ever seen

People don’t oppose new homes. They oppose ugly developments which scar their sense of home. They're willing to support gentle density which is attractive, predictable & fits the street they already know & love. New development should make old places better, not worse. Here's how

[Sir Greg Hands @GregHands]

Much for the U.K. to learn from here!

[Nicholas Boys Smith @boys_nicholas]

I try to be optimistic but it’s hard to remain upbeat when policy & standards just keep impoverishing us & making new buildings less attractive to no environmental benefit whatsoever. Britain is destroying jobs & shooting itself in the face. Perhaps we should stop! 😡 😠 😢

[Nicholas Boys Smith @boys_nicholas]

We’re banning bricks, our most popular building material, by mistake. Quite, quite mad.

The size of the lines waiting for fuel in Russia reached mind-boggling levels. Some regions in Russia are already at the verge of total logistical collapse.

This is absurd. Palantir tech saves lives.

If the NHS can’t interpret its own data well it will continue to deliver substandard care.

In Florida, Palantir software has more than halved sepsis deaths. Down 68%. It spots trends early that humans can’t. Abandoning that for ideological reasons is *insane*.

[createstreets @createstreets]

.. people LOVE brick (our latest UK-wide visual preference survey is here).....

[createstreets @createstreets]

Should Britain ban bricks? Amazingly, that's what we risk doing. Even though...

This fact should be leading our news bulletins every single day.

Something really interesting just happened, hear me out.

1. Iran designed the MOU to trap Israel, pit the U.S. against its ally, and protect Hezbollah.

2. Israel bypassed the trap by signing an expedited deal directly with Lebanon. (Brokered by Sec. Rubio)

3. The new framework between Israel and Lebanon ties Israeli withdrawal to Hezbollah’s disarmament.

4. Hezbollah has just become the obstacle to Lebanon regaining full control of the south.

5. Now is the Islamic regime is complaining that the U.S. is breaching clause 1 of the MOU.

6. U.S. says this was deal between two sovereign nations.

7. Iran is not really sure what to do. (We will watch how this plays out)

This is good news.

Soho should be for people, not the curtain twitchers.

In the UK, the anti-fun lobby is real.

Just like the Soho Society, they oppose everything and anything.

They want you to be miserable and have no social life.

Do you think this is a good move?

[Tom Harwood @tomhfh]

Why are buildings far uglier today than in times past?

Part of the reason is that regulations punish builders who use materials deemed to be high carbon.

What materials does the government deem to be high carbon? Bricks.

Yes, bricks.

Mad regulations suggest bricks wear out and have to be replaced after just 60 years, which will come as a surprise to anyone, like me, who lives in a victorian house.

In fact, @createstreets has estimated that nearly half the country's homes are made out of bricks that are more than 60 years old.

These regulations have undoubtedly played a part in helping to shut down our brick factories. Production has collapsed from two billion bricks in 2022 to 1.3 billion bricks in 2024.

We've accidentally created a de facto ban on one of the most sustainable building materials we have. Thick as a brick.
