🗣️ Joseph O'Brien on Thundering On: "A final decision is yet to be made on Thundering On as she has the option of the Diane or Epsom. It'll be one of those two. The Diane is looking strong and the Oaks is looking strong too but maybe a bit more open.

"We have to see how her final work goes over the next week or so and we'll discuss it with the owners."

@Silberdamian I directed it. I’ll tell you zero ai was used my friend. 50 real humans on set, a team of people making hand crafted animations / CGI designs for weeks, 16 people in the post process to keep up with different names & 26 glorious lions leading us into battle. Let’s have it 🦁🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

[Politics In The U.K. @politixintheuk]

Times columnist Fraser Nelson pointed out over the weekend that new Home Office statistics paint a striking picture: net migration has fallen dramatically since Labour entered government, now sitting around 80 per cent below the record highs reached under the Conservatives.

And it is not just the headline figure shifting. Remove international students from the equation and long-term immigration levels are now “probably at a multi-year low”, Nelson wrote on his Substack — a remarkable turnaround after years of Tory chaos, broken promises and soaring numbers.

The asylum backlog is also being rapidly reduced under Labour. After ballooning in the aftermath of Covid while successive Conservative ministers appeared paralysed and unwilling to grip the crisis, Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood has begun making serious progress in clearing the system.

Away from the Westminster psychodrama and endless Reform stunts, an uncomfortable reality is emerging for Labour’s opponents: the Government may quietly be delivering results where the Tories failed for years.

The Tax Avoiding Rich Leaders of Reform have convinced the poorest people in Britain that it’s other poor people -the young, the sick, the disabled, those on welfare & migrants -who are responsible for why they’re not as Rich as the Tax Avoiding Leaders of Reform

A final piece of advice from Holly Butcher - written the day before she passed away from cancer at just 27:

“It’s a strange thing knowing you’re going to die young.

At 26, I thought I had time…
To fall in love.
Start a family.
Grow old.

But cancer doesn’t care about plans.

Now, I understand how fragile life really is. Every single day is a gift, not a guarantee.

I’m not writing this to scare you. I’m writing to remind you: really live.

Stop stressing over little things. Be kind to your body- move it, nourish it, stop criticizing it. One day you’ll wish you had appreciated it.

Go outside.
Look at the sky.
Feel the sun.
Just be.

Spend less time chasing “stuff” - more time making memories. Don’t skip moments with people you love.

Laugh more.
Write a note.
Tell someone you love them.

Complain less.
Give more.
Helping others brings more joy than anything you can buy.

Be present.
Put your phone down.
Show up - really show up.

You don’t need to have it all figured out. You don’t need a perfect body, or a perfect life.

Just follow what makes your heart light up. Say no to what drains you. Make changes when you need to.

And please - donate blood. I wouldn’t have had that extra year without it. And that year gave me memories I’ll hold close… forever.

Thank you for reading this.
Live your life well.

And maybe… we’ll meet again someday.”

People love to look at football and turn it into a Hollywood story. This year alone you have Disney with Wrexham, Netflix with Birmingham, and Sky Sports endlessly discussing a fairytale Premier League champion dropping into League One.

But let’s have it right—if we get over the line this season, there’s no better subplot than what’s happened down in SE16.

If we go up this season, Sky, the FA, the EFL and the Premier League will try and spin a narrative that everyone else underperformed. That big bad Millwall are going to be up and down the country causing trouble every week. That ain’t the story.

Our story is a club that had to fight tooth and nail to keep our home against a council that didn’t want us.

Our story is about a son stepping into his dad’s shoes under the most tragic of circumstances to do his family proud.

Our story is about a club legend stepping up and saving us from relegation.

Our story is about a dressing room having to pick itself up and go again after another tragic loss—this time their teammate and friend.

Our story is about a club that doesn’t have TV cameras following us about, doesn’t have a huge budget or superstars on massive wages.

Our story is about a club doing things the right way. Staying true to what it is, staying true to its fans.

And we’re two fucking games from the promised land.

For John. For Mati. For yourselves. Two more games

There’s your Hollywood story…

Harry Kane is 32 years old, married to his childhood sweetheart, has four children, runs his own mental health foundation, and donates regularly to armed forces and mental health charities. He doesn't drink, doesn't smoke, and has spent his entire career in the spotlight without a single scandal attached to his name.

On the pitch, the numbers are extraordinary. His country's all-time top scorer. His boyhood club's all-time top scorer. Six Golden Boots, four in the Premier League, one at a World Cup. Figures that the vast majority of strikers will never get close to.

And yet he remains one of the most written-off and underappreciated players of his generation. A man who has devoted everything to club and country, never once put a foot wrong off the pitch, and embodies every quality you could want from a professional footballer.

If you're looking for a role model, it doesn't get much cleaner than this. The fact it even needs pointing out says everything.

No good for my each way trixie today. Treanmor ran no sort of race at all, Quinault grabbed a place and I couldn’t watch SixtyGeesBaby but seen no place there either… so apologised if you followed that one lads.

The win trixie had a non runner with Hawk Mountain to kickstart that which is frustarting. Does anyone know why it was pulled? Hopefully Amadeus Mozart and/or Fidendum can grab their wins though 🤞🏻

Anyone landed a nice one yet today?

If you voted Conservative between 2010 and 2024, then you don't really have a right to complain about the sluggish growth, the gutting of our armed forces, the ballooning welfare bill, the shit in our rivers and sea, or the open borders.

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

God’s heart is torn apart by wars, violence, injustice and lies. But our Father’s heart is not with the wicked, the arrogant, or the proud. God’s heart is with the little ones and the humble, and with them He builds up His Kingdom of love and peace day by day. Wherever there is love and service, God is there. #ApostolicJourney #Algeria

There's a good chance that Forest v Aston Villa is unreal for Bet Builders.

They're the two most-fouled teams in the Premier League this season which is interesting.

Forest average 11.3 fouls drawn per game and Villa average a league high 12.5 fouls drawn per game.

The previous meeting this season was wild. There were 30 fouls in total, Forest committed 20 of them and Villa committed the other ten.

Surprisingly there were only three yellows, but there's a decent chance we see that increase with the season getting closer to the end.

Games at the City Ground I always associate with beaming sun and one of the best home atmospheres in the Premier League.

Forest are a proper club. But they're 100% in a relegation battle right now and it should add to the intensity.

Another interesting factor is the referee appointment - Michael Salisbury.

If you look at referees in the Premier League who have done more than five games, he has the highest fouls awarded per game average at 23.56. He also ranks third-highest for yellow cards per game at 4.56.

Here's what I think is a good value Double that I'm going to place some money on:

▪️ Matty Cash to win 1+ Foul
▪️ Ollie Watkins to win 1+ Foul

Cash averages 0.92 fouls drawn P/90 and he was fouled in the last meeting. Up against Neco Williams who has fouled in seven of his last nine league apps - he committed two fouls in last meeting.

Watkins has won a foul in each of his last three, he won multiple fouls in two of those. In a big physical battle with Murillo and Milenkovic today.

18+, gamble responsibly
