Sticking two fingers up at the EU after 47 years of peace, prosperity and cooperation. Sacrificed on the altar of small-minded nationalism.

What a thoroughly depressing day 😢

Incredible 🤯

[Australian Athletics @AustralianAths]

GOUT OF THIS WORLD 🌏🌏

In 20.04-seconds, 16-year-old Gout Gout has sprinted into athletics history as Australia's fastest ever man over 200m, taking down Peter Norman’s Australian record of 20.06 from the 1968 Olympic Games.

20.04 (+1.5). The oldest record in the books is gone.

Love is love.

The world needs far more of it.

There’s been a staggering amount of invective, particularly on social media, about two athletes in love, Sam Kerr and Kristie Mewis announcing the greatest news of their young lives.

Sam’s club, @ChelseaFCW even had to turn off comments in the face of massive homophobic abuse, as did Sam.

All my love and support to them both.

They’re strong and courageous to proudly display their love to the world, knowing the abuse that is sadly still far too prevalent in the game of football, and outside.

With one small proviso, as long as Kristie understands this child will Captain Australia to a World Cup title 🏆

Which will be the perfect riposte to the haters 💚💛

Donald Trump has won the 2024 election.

Four years after launching an unprecedented attack on democracy and leaving the White House in disgrace, the convicted felon will return to Washington, DC, as the 47th president of the United States.

America is known for its large portion sizes. But a second helping of Trump? WTF 🤯😱

Word of the day is ‘recrudescence’ (17th century): the return of something terrible after a time of reprieve.

Well, if you needed yet another reason for the UK to join the EU - here it is.

This is the darkest morning. For Ukraine. For the US. For all of us.

Imagine being the founder of parkrun.

Stood in this spot 20 years ago with a handful of your mates.

Today alone, more than 350,000 will have done a parkrun. For free, in their local community.

Thanks to the determination of this man.

Enjoy your special day @PSH_A1674 🧡

What's happening in Gaza is totally unacceptable.

A school turned shelter for around 12,000 people was hit by Israeli airstrikes again today.

Six of our @UNRWA colleagues are among those killed.

These dramatic violations of international humanitarian law need to stop now.

If you have a few moments to listen to this interview as a parent with your child.
Possible one of the best post race interviews I have ever watched #PlayOn

Anti-English, xenophobic bigotry has always been the nasty underside of some Scottish Nationalists. It is usually kept well hidden. But here it is in full display in the house comic of the SNP. Those who work for should be ashamed.

[Matt Haig @matthaig1]

The Green Party have as many seats as Reform so let's hope they get the same coverage as Farage going forward.

Finally.

Now let’s get the NHS back to where it belongs.

Thank you for everything you’ve given us, Andy.

Of all the memories Andy Murray has given us, one stands above the rest.

On 7 July 2013, in living rooms and town squares across the country, we celebrated the end of a 77-year-wait...
