🚨OFFICIAL: Brazil World Cup final squad announced 🇧🇷

@carvillshill Tbf, it’s 6 mins of shite we’re not missing.

[Greg L @Gregor31]

Fuck me, Zico, Pele, Proper Ronaldo etc would be turning in their graves watching this Brazil team, if they were all dead.

Waiting to board our flight in Washington and there are 3 Scotland fans in kilts walking past. An American lady says" I love your skirts"
"They're nae skirts lassie they're kilts , We're Scots not Trannies" I genuinely Lol #tartanarmy #fifaworldcup @jk_rowling

@tbuckleythinks @JimProudfoot @kevinhatchard @andybrassell All good thanks mate, hope you are too. H&J are quality too. I used to listen all day when I’m driving, but it’s becoming painful now.

[Greg L @Gregor31]

TalkSPORT really has gone now. Breakfast is awful mostly, missing Brazil obvs. Weekends have been shit for months, yet now those same presenters are inflicted upon us in the week. Sad to listen to.

Done ✔️

[Greg L @Gregor31]

10 out of 17 bags done of the @LEGO_Group_UK World Cup. Has to be finished before the World Cup starts or I owe the little ones £20 each.

It’s pretty bleak that the Business Secretary’s justification for taking these company stakes is that it would give him an incentive to do the thing he’s already supposed to be doing.

This means I'm going to lose my job I work at Beds University and it takes me 2 & half hours to drive to work I often stay over in cheap hotels- when this opens I wont be able to drive to work the M1 will be even more insane than it already is & there will be no cheap hotels.

@TempletonPeckJr He already has, basically anyone who’s not British born gets executed if they do anything wrong.

Really sad to see Noel has had to give it up. Loved when I had a hoof in horses with him, great fun & funny as anything, plus gave us a few winners.

[Nick Alexander @kinneston]

Another day and another good trainer packs up. Sensible for Noel but sad for the sport, the only way to turn the sport round is radical reform of prize money to create sustainability at all levels. Noel’s last winner would have earned £1917 for the Owner… says it all, completely unsustainable and the horses simply won’t be there in the future if this doesn’t change

Hard to think of a more midwit position than being anti-supermarket.

Tesco is an unmitigated force for good. It supplies tens of millions of people with luxuries their grandparents couldn't imagine, employs 1 in 200 people, and runs on paper thin margins through sheer competence

[Greg L @Gregor31]

@quevega Appears to be taken in a prison cell, so I’m guessing £0. Maybe remind the guard to take the spoon away next time, just for safety.

[Iain Martin @iainmartin1]

The more you read about the energy crisis the more you realise everyone else, every serious country, is going flat out increasing production, more oil/gas, prioritising domestic production where possible,
ripping up policy assumptions, Uniquely, one major country is pressing on in the opposite direction. It would have to be us, wouldn’t it? Banning new oil and gas exploration and fields, by law! It is quite mad. Future historians will be astonished. Like looking back on Tony Benn’s policies in government decades later and thinking how on earth was that allowed to happen?

[Greg L @Gregor31]

Spot on.

This is more or less what I feel. It's out of all proportion to anything that has ever gone before it.

I hear Jordan Pickford is taking a keen interest in this breakthrough.

The idea, or movement to try and cap to supermarket prices is remarkable.

1) The govt must know some regulations are onerous, hence their Carrot dangling. Those regs should go, regardless.

2) No one can afford to cap prices, food retail is a low margin business, theft is at an all time high eg and drives prices up.

3) As do taxes; people heavy industries like retail, hospitality, food production etc have been hit hard with the NI rise and other associated taxes.

4) For example there is now a packaging tax that we're all paying for, alongside high energy prices (before Iran) that feed in to prices at the shelf edge.

5) No one can afford to cap prices in peacetime. Let alone now - things are hugely uncertain. Imagine signing it up to it and seeing Oil rise to $whatever a barrel, directly impacting prices. But being stuck to charging Y because the govt said so.

6) Why would anyone bother to innovate in foods if the prices are to be capped?

There is more. But this is insanity. The government can take several measures to ease food inflation, some are naturally related to Iran (and that will start to feed through now in greater numbers).

Iran is an impact but food prices were on the rise before this. HFSS is another one; moving products around the store aimlessly so no one buys them.

Banning multibuys on govt deemed "unhealthy" products also hasn't helped food prices. Or consumer sentiment.

The latest thing after hundreds of millions spent on changes, reformulation and the rest.... Is the news that the government are bringing more products in to the rules....

The ridiculous legislation, NI rises, tax rises, etc etc can all be looked at.

Why not do that?

IE the consequences of your own actions as a Govt?

It would be funny, if not so serious.

@jack1024lfc @Carra23 I do like his description of Jones, tbf.
