How annoying, was looking forward to the earlier kick off
🔴 UPDATE: England's World Cup last-16 tie against Mexico will still kick off at 1am on Monday after Fifa decided against bringing the match forward.

Indeed, that was tooo close. Sloppy and sluggish first half and even the second half started poor but Kane saves the dream for another match
Fab shot! That’s how you do it #englandvsdrc
OH MY WORDDDD! 😍
About time, thank god Kane delivered. Now please repeat 🙏🏻
Terrible play by England in first 20mins. Sloppy defence and poor shots at goal #englandvsdrc #worldcup
Come on England, let’s get some more and try not to rely on penalties
Fully agree, @AmazonMGMStudio had a fully geared up and ready fan base to build upon with their new show, instead they cancel it for stupid reasons and angering everyone #bringbackstargate #SaveStargate
What’s going on? @AmazonMGMStudio @PrimeVideo? Martin Gero’s Stargate series was greenlit, people are ready. So what’s holding it back? #SaveStargate
Big news, seems @Keir_Starmer is failing defence of the nation at a critical moment. Healey has done the honourable thing
JOHN HEALEY RESIGNS AS DEFENCE SECRETARY
Such a terrible shame, the fans (myself included) were looking forward to this. The reason, according to rumours, because it favoured fans too much 😡
Sadly, it's true. Amazon has elected not to move forward with the new Stargate series.
There's not much I can add beyond confirming what's happened. But I will say this...
Creator Martin Gero developed a new Stargate series over two years, ultimately crafting a show that offered a fresh jumping-on point for new viewers while deeply respecting existing canon. It was a series that avoided the pitfalls of several modern remakes and reboots by fully embracing the core of its predecessors: action, adventure, exploration, wonder, heart, humor, and found family. And based on that creative vision, the new Stargate series was greenlit in November of 2025.
As of today, officially, that original vision is no more. We'll never get the opportunity to introduce you to that world and those characters - or reintroduce you to, and check in with, some familiar faces from the past.
My heart breaks. For the incredibly talented writers who worked tirelessly to bring this show to life. For Martin who maintained an unwavering positive outlook throughout despite the challenges, and who always strove to make a show that would honor the fans while welcoming a new audiences. And for the long-suffering Stargate fandom who waited so long and came so close to getting a show they truly would have loved.
Something everyone could get behind, though I’m sure most would go further and ban completely
This is a political failure of the current & last govt, and a regulatory one. The solution is simple... BAN (ABOVE INFLATION) MID CONTRACT PRICE HIKES.
- They took too long to tackle mid-contract above inflation price rises
- When Ofcom did, it just said 'mid contract rises are ok, if you say in £s at sign-up what it'll be'. This has resulted in even bigger % above inflation hikes.
“Starmer is a dead man walking”
Labour MP @jon_trickett says the Prime Minister has ‘lost the confidence of Labour voters’ and that a ‘timeline’ must be agreed for his departure
#Peston
Two men live in Zone 2 London.
Both are around 30. Both sleep in a one-bed flat.
But only one believes he has a future in the city.
James was born in London.
He went to university, got a degree, found a decent job and now works at a marketing firm near Old Street.
He earns just under £60,000 a year.
On paper, he is doing well.
But every month James opens his payslip and watches a third of it vanish before he ever sees it.
Income tax.National Insurance.Student loan.Then comes the rent.
Nearly £2,000 a month for a small one-bed flat with mould around the windows and a landlord who only renews the tenancy six months at a time.
Every evening James scrolls Rightmove looking at tiny flats he cannot afford in the city he grew up in.
Even the cheapest one-beds near him now cost around £400,000.
The deposit alone feels impossible despite earning more than most people in Britain.
His parents bought their first home younger than he is now.
James still does not know if he will ever own one.
So he keeps renting.Keeps waiting.
He watches friends delay children.
People earning what used to be considered “good money” still checking every direct debit before payday.
Now meet Shaheed.
He arrived in Britain recently and was granted refugee status.
He does not work.
He lives in a one-bed flat in East London. His housing costs and council tax are largely covered through the welfare system.
He qualifies for free prescriptions, dental treatment and eye tests.
He does not spend his evenings worrying whether the next rent rise will wipe out what little he has left at the end of the month.
And this is the part driving so much public anger.
James works full time, pays a fortune in tax and still cannot see a long-term future in the city he was born in.
Shaheed does not work, yet has more housing security than the man whose taxes help fund the system.
That is how a city loses its young people, because they stop believing hard work leads anywhere.
London has to become a city where the people who work, contribute and build lives here can realistically afford homes, raise families and feel secure again.
Fighting talk but will it help or hinder him?
PM’s statement to cabinet. Nutshell: he will not set out timetable for departure. And he is, in effect, baiting Wes Streeting to challenge him
The Prime Minister told a meeting of the Cabinet:
“As I said yesterday, I take responsibility for these election results and I take responsibility for delivering the change we promised.
“The past 48 hours have been destabilising for government and that has a real economic cost for our country and for families.
“The Labour Party has a process for challenging a leader and that has not been triggered.
“The country expects us to get on with governing. That is what I am doing and what we must do as a Cabinet.”
My unscientific weekend poll of Labour MPs and government ministers is that Keir Starmer will be replaced as their leader and the country’s prime minister “by the end of the year”.
They also say that an immediate defenestration and snap leadership election should be avoided if possible, for two reasons.
First, the party needs to have a debate about its future direction and what could be a “big story of hope for Britain” they could coalesce around and sell to voters
Second, the leadership change should be orderly, respectful and likely to yield a stable outcome.
This means, they say, that the process needs to be long enough to allow Andy Burnham the opportunity to resign as mayor of Greater Manchester and contest a by-election.
Which is not to say they all want Burnham as Britain’s next prime minister. Some do. Some don’t.
What it means is they fear he and his supporters would never cease to lobby to be Labour leader, and therefore no new leader would be secure, unless Burnham was given the opportunity to win a leadership contest or crash and burn.
“If Andy feels he is blocked again, any new leader will be toast before the next election,” one senior MP said to me.
And to give Burnham the rope he wants, the leadership contest has to be delayed till the autumn, say his friends and foes.
I have two other pieces of intelligence, or perhaps more properly unintelligence.
No MP or and minister is able to explain to me how this “orderly” transition to a new leader would actually transpire, if the PM were to dig in and refuse to leave - which right now Starmer shows every sign of doing.
There is a chance that the cabinet would unite against him and collectively make him an offer, to go with dignity on a set timetable, that he could not refuse. Ministers are as we speak talking to each other about just such a scenario.
But that would be to believe they are capable of sublimating their individual personal ambitions and enjoyment of high office for what they will see as a nebulous greater good.
Most of us don’t need to consult an AI superbrain to attach the appropriate probability to ministerial turkeys voting for Christmas.
So tomorrow’s 49th relaunch speech by the PM is both profoundly important and trivially unimportant.
If it is an absolute car crash then the consensus of MPs and ministers that Starmer can stay a few more weeks and months will evaporate, and the accidental rebel Catherine West would secure her 81 nominations to be the stalking horse challenger.
Starmer would be fighting for his political life.
But I have been briefed to expect a speech that shows contrition, that Starmer “gets it”, but that it is too soon for him to come up with a bold and unifying new vision for the country, not least because he avowedly hates doing “the vision thing”.
In other words, the speech will probably be a bit of a “meh”, neither one thing or another, neither hastening his exit or cancelling it.
Which, possibly, for Starmer, in his current dire straits, would be a win.
And so it begins #leadershipchallenge
🚨 BREAKING: Ex-Minister Catherine West says she will launch a leadership challenge against Keir Starmer if the Cabinet do not remove him by Monday
Another crack in No.10, why he thought this was a good idea is beyond me. More reason the MPs will eventually say enough is enough
The Gordon Brown/Harriet Harman jobs already showing signs of backfiring.
One Labour MP texts: “Pure gimmick vibe bringing in these former Labour figures into part time unpaid powerless roles.”
Was it really wise of No10 to make this their first response to an historic local elections drubbing?
Was a wonderful concert for a true legend, loved the film with birthday letter from the King carried by the various animals of our nation to Sir David

He can insist all he likes but if the party fears election oblivion more than the chaos a leadership challenge will bring it matters not what Keir wants
NEW: Keir Starmer repeatedly says he "won't walk away" from leadership - and that doing so would "plunge the party into chaos".
While many Labour MPs don't want him to resign now, there's a widespread view he shouldn't lead them into next election.
Asked by @bethrigby if he would stand as PM at next election, Starmer says: "Yes. There’s a five-year term I was elected to do. I intend to see that through."
(There is, of course, a difference between "seeing through" this term, and fighting the next one. He says "yes" to question, but can't reallsay anything but, without undermining his authority)
