Yes, it’s just a headline, but the sheer arrogance of this. The man should be saying nothing but ‘sorry’ for his suicidal WC semi-final tactical substitutions, over and over again.

The annoying thing is that immigration is down, boat crossings are down, the economy has been pretty stable, we’re reintegrating with the EU, NHS waiting lists have gone down… what else do people want Starmer to do? We’re a small, poor, stupid country. The right won’t let us be better.

BBC Sport continuing to cover itself in glory. If Robinson has mistakenly said the *opposite* of what he means in the moment, fair enough. But surely one of the two (two!) #journalists working on the live feed should be saying as much underneath, rather than just repeating it wholesale?

This glorious meeting of one cycling team’s two sponsors is also a lesson that just because you’re rich, it doesn’t mean you should be given a platform to spout this shite.

God Farage is a bore. He voted against improving workers’ rights. He doesn’t want us to have control over our lives. He demands that we live within the stifling confines of his stale old prejudices and resentments. Fewer rights. Less protection. More exploitation. That’s his plan for the rest of us.

Use of the drone footage in the downhill is nothing short of exhilarating 🤌 Shame they cut to a front-on shot right before the jump – the athletes are getting 50m+ air time every time, but you don’t get a real sense of the distance they’re travelling because of the angle. Still. Mad bastards.

This Vuelta a España cannot continue with Israel-Premier Tech. This calls on serious governance from the UCI. David Lappartient has always insisted he can't take political decisions that don't align with the IOC's view, but this is beyond political: it's affecting the running of the sport.
