“About 50 years ago, Britain stopped investing in its future... What we used to spend on roads, railways, power stations, homes, hospitals, and schools has been diverted to direct cash transfers to people.”

@WestTip1986 @HughRacing Lovely thread. He has a special place in my memory too as my grandad was a big fan - backed him every year for the national, i think - so I always remember my dad calling him out when we watched the race when I was a kid c.1988-1990

@Everton Based on how they performed under moyes at Everton, not how they did at other stages of their career:

4-4-1-1 Pickford; Coleman, jags, lescott, baines; arteta, Carsley, gravesen, pienaar; Cahill; yakubu

[Tim @westdrop]

@thecraiggordon @Everton Barry never played under moyes

@henrywinter You’re one, possibly two midfielders light given the workload they’ll have to get through in that heat across 8 matches.

Today is the 33rd anniversary of the day the IRA bombed Warrington town centre and killed my son Tim and 3 yr old Johnathan Ball. Words can never describe how losing a child leaves a huge hole in your heart and your family. Eternal love Tim ❤️❤️

@FootballCliches a good friend of mine died sadly in the week - taken far too young. One of the lads dug out this old photo of him. Any chance you could tell me the game he’s watching? Can probably give you the season if you need a clue! Cheers @sinicoll

@henrywinter @EITC @FourFourTwo Nice interview Henry. Worth a quick fact check though on number of appearances Garner has made for Everton - about 100 fewer than you quote in the piece

@TheBarmyArmy 🎶Ole, ole, ole, ole Matthew Potts Potts Potts🎶 to ‘feeling hot hot hot’ by the merry men. You’re welcome

Five years ago today, we authored the Great Barrington Declaration, arguing for focused protection instead of lockdowns. A wholehearted thank you to the almost one million co-signers. We were proven right.

“Since the readmission of the Jews to England in the 1650s (thank you Oliver Cromwell) until 1960 (when a Jewish student was killed by fascists), not a single Jew was killed in our country for being a Jew. This is unique in all Europe and the Americas.” https://t.co/Wu04mW8j6J

I wrote this about the genius of Barry Lyndon, my all-time favourite film which is unique among historical dramas for really getting the strangeness and distance of the past

@henrywinter Henry, I’ve got a lot of time for you, but that’s an awful take. It’s two teams playing a final for a major European trophy

@AaronBastani Why stop at 10-15 years, Aaron. Can’t rely on the invisible hand - it needs intervention: rent control, more building of homes, more good quality council homes, harder for people to have second homes and harder for people to just “invest “ in property like it’s a disposable asset

Go West completed his hat trick with a 25-length victory at Kempton today. Harry Cobden always had things under control helped by some superb jumping from his willing partner. He will go novice chasing next season but may run again this term. Well done to Alice who rides him every day, led him up and loves her winners’ photo! #gowest #ownersgroup

[Paul Nicholls OBE @PFNicholls]

Go West makes all to win @kemptonparkrace, his third win in a row under @CobdenHarry which is Harry’s 100th winner of the season, well done to him. Congratulations to his owners @ownersgroupuk. Well done to Alice who rides and looks after him at home. A big well done and thank you to all of Team Ditcheat as this win takes us over 2 million in prize money for the 23rd time. #86

@triggerpod @matthewsyed Been wondering if you’d ever have @matthewsyed on and I’m glad you finally have. Thought this was one of your best ever eps, unsurprisingly given the quality of the guest.

@RacingPost Akabusi ran the anchor leg, Steve, not Roger Black!!!

@ShiiineOn_ 14.

The Bends, Different Class, Maxinquaiye, Leftism and Morning Glory still get a listen.

Have still got this copy of this edition of the paper in my loft!
