Two World Cup semi-finals; two Euros finals. John Stones has been at the heart of England’s post-2016 revival. Always crucial at tournaments. England’s greatest centre-back since Bobby Moore

Elliot Anderson is a ridiculously good football player. A brilliant talent

Hed be virtually free with shirt sales and proper marketing....

Alan Nixon, formerly of The Sun reporting that Jamie Vardy to #swfc is still a possibility but won't be cheap, as is a possible deal for Colby Bishop at @Pompey. Need to decide where the money is best spent.

Thoughts?

Was in Sheffield yesterday and decided to visit this place and photograph it on the way home, 1st time I'd been back since '94 - not changed much has it!
Location - Ringinglow Road, between Ringinglow and Hathersage. There's rather convenient parking just off road at the site.

A special Independence Day message from a Wednesday icon 🇺🇸 🦉

[Football Away Days @FBAwayDays]

Thomas Tuchel has a message for parents ahead of the 1am start for the game against Mexico on Sunday night.

“Write an excuse for school and let them watch the game…”

He’s spot on, everyone should be encouraged to get up and support the country! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

The Most Arrogant Entrance in Boxing History? 👀

Naseem Hamed kept Kevin Kelley waiting for several minutes before getting right in his face.

What happened next turned into one of the greatest fights Madison Square Garden has ever witnessed.

And yet these wet wipes also ignore '75, '76 and other years

@owenjonesjourno Forecasting 10 days out requires"significant caveats"

But the forecast 10 years out is "genuinely frightening"

OK

In other words / worlds - a nice summer

[🇬🇧 Gerald de Boing Boing 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 @BootsVernon]

Were having a few warm days.

And the Met Office has gone into overdrive:

- life threatening they say
- Only travel if absolutely necessary
- We're under a heat dome

Schools are closing too, why? I survived the summer of 76 when it really was hot and hotter for weeks.

My advice is wear as little as possible, drink plenty and enjoy it.

SERIOUSLY. Are we living in a parallel universe?

OpenAI paused its UK data centre project last month. Energy too expensive. Too hostile. Even for them. Starmer found out this morning apparently.

Because he spent today at a tech conference selling Britain's AI future. The same week OpenAI quietly walked away from it. He didn't mention that bit.

UK electricity prices 125% above the EU average. Four times higher than the United States. Highest in Europe. Data centres consume 5.8% of national electricity and rising. Your energy bills going UP because of it.

The Unilever factory employed hundreds of Warrington families for 130 years. Closed 2021. 116 job losses. The data centre replacing it? 20 to 50 permanent jobs. No legal obligation to create even those. THREE permanent AI job vacancies in Warrington in 2025. Three. Specialist roles brought in on fast tracked visas. Not for local kids.

Manufacturing creates thousands of jobs. Data centres create dozens. 8 million UK jobs at risk from AI. UK hit harder than any other major economy.

Your pension redirected by ministers into the tech companies building those data centres. Without your consent. Funding the machine that's replacing you.

And while he stood on that stage. 1,200 children safeguarded from grooming gangs every single month. Child abuse conviction data buried for years.

The world's biggest AI company just walked away from Britain because it couldn't afford to run here.

And he called that confidence.

They always announce these rules and they always baffle me because pubs already serve outdoor pints in their beer gardens and I watch the premier league on outdoor screens so what is he talking about?
