A great show in Shoreham last night, and a lovely chat afterwards about Deepcut and Mytchet and East End grandmothers - looking forward to your next UK visit.

All 11 should go to SA, although openers could be looked at and atm Atkinson replaced by spinner if required. Robinson didn't win MOM (it must have been close) so likely McCullum would have left him at home.

Yes, that is true to an extent, but many of their batters av around 40 - that's not bad. Don't forget, England do well - opposition or pitch are awful. England do badly - England are awful.

Yes, correct IMO. It was a fantastic experiment needing some tweaks. (Joe Root is a sportsman who dares to answer difficult questions & gives his opinion tactfully & thoughtfully). But...if McCullum et al hadn't ignored Robinson, Foakes & Dawson, perhaps England would've won, & retained, the Ashes.

The more I see this man perform, both on AND off the pitch, the more I like him. What a superstar. A credit to UK sport.

England play Pakistan at Edgbaston this week. Joe Root has given his thoughts on the ticket prices for the same venue for the Ashes next year - when a ticket in the Hollies Stand will cost £165.

"If there there was a window it was not broken, but it if was broken it was not by Nigel Farage's ball, but if it was his ball he certainly did not kick it, and if he did kick it, it was an accident and he knew nothing about it" said a Reform spokesperson.

The best tribute to Dolly Parton is that she regularly and repeatedly refused to have anything to do with Piers Morgan

Never met her, never interviewed her (despite decades of unrequited requests) but thought she was utterly fabulous in every way.

I’m 60+ and can’t recall another time when BBC/MSM headlined the “look at me” policies of a minority Political Party plummeting in polls, with just 8 MPs.. The LibDems have 71 MPs, when was the last time they got this coverage❓🤬 Yet Reform’s every racist, flawed utterance gets reported religiously

Reform says it will prioritise British-born young workers for social housing

Labour called the plan "unserious and unworkable" and accused Reform of pushing "gimmicks and division".

Oh fuck off. Funding for everything is inadequate!! Schools, NHS, public transport, infrastructure investment, public sector pay, road maintenance, mental health provision, social care etc etc It’s all bloody inadequate thanks, in large part, to YOUR Brexit costing the country £100bn a year.

Farage refused taxpayer-funded security because it was ‘inadequate’

Reform UK decided to continue providing its own protection for Nigel Farage, rather than ‘gamble with his life’, a spokesperson said

Good for Meloni. One reason Starmer has lost so much support is because he’s never had the balls or self-respect to properly call out all the offensive remarks directed towards him, his govt, or the UK in general by Trump and his administration, or take resolute action against agitators like Musk.

Hmmm....just as I suspected. It always surprises me how lightly May is criticised in hindsight compared to Cameron, Johnson, Truss and Sunak. The worst PM we'd ever had, because of performances like this. The path we followed post Brexit was largely due to her decisions. Desperate to stay as PM.

Is it any wonder our society feels like it’s being ripped apart? People are literally calling for violence on the street and nothing is done. Others march against actual genocide and get the full force of the law thrown at them! It feels like the far right have become untouchable.
