@brumbymark I’ve belatedly spotted that your beloved Hull City is coming back to the Premier League - congratulations!

[Emmanuel Macron @EmmanuelMacron]

Bienvenue à Paris, cher ami Premier ministre @MichealMartinTD.

La France est le voisin le plus proche de l’Irlande au sein de l’Union européenne !

En juillet, l’Irlande prendra la présidence du Conseil de l’Union européenne. Nous serons à ses côtés pour faire avancer notre agenda commun : sur la défense et la sécurité, la compétitivité, la protection de nos démocraties.

Pour une Europe plus souveraine, plus compétitive, plus protectrice. Nous serons au rendez-vous !

@JP_Mc_C @marksandspencer That’s the gateway drug. In a few weeks you’ll have a wardrobe full of chinos and a pantry full of Triple Chocolate Crunch cereal.

This should be a bigger story in my view. Energy security is indistinguishable from national security.

@NiceGuyEddiek It doesn’t have to be this way 😢

@johnkellyjkcs Do you want to run the numbers here around recoverable barrels, field development costs and operating costs / boe versus prevailing commodity prices?

[Philip O'Sullivan @pdosullivan]

@JP_Mc_C I’ll hold a seat for you at the next @marksandspencer AGM

[Philip O'Sullivan @pdosullivan]

@JP_Mc_C Your transition to Centrist Dad is almost complete.

Interesting nugget in today’s morning note from @GoldmanSachs - “Taiwan’s stock market is now the largest MSCI EM constituent (24.8%), with its combined market cap now more than China (23.1% weighting), with TSMC accounting for ~57% of Taiwan’s weight”

M&S has been gaining market share in both of its primary business lines - Food and Fashion, Home & Beauty - supported by excellent product innovation. Behind the scenes, the recalibration of its supply chain offers the prospect of material efficiency gains to come (7/7)

Today’s announcement that @marksandspencer is buying an @ASOS_Menswear distribution centre is a timely reminder of the successful turnaround at M&S https://t.co/3b5fugwt2r (1/n)

[Philip O'Sullivan @pdosullivan]

And in 2022 M&S bought Gist, which had provided logistics services for it since 1932 https://t.co/4t5uRcPpn2 (6/n)

Today, the Defence Forces Cavalry Corps Team (Callsign Shamrock 1) took home first place in the Bradley category in the 2026 Sullivan Cup. The Defence Forces Cavalry Corps team competed in the 2026 Sullivan Cup, hosted in Fort Benning, GA, USA. The purpose of the Sullivan Cup is to identify and recognise the most skilled armoured vehicle crews internationally. The competition consisted of gunnery live fire lanes by day and night, vehicle maintenance, crew knowledge, call for fire, AFV recognition, medical lanes and physical fitness challenges.
Our team had a two week window to train up in theatre on the Bradley Fighting Vehicle having never used the platform before. After completing two weeks of training successfully, the competition started on 30 APR 26 and the Cavalry Corps emerged as the winners.
