This is a good and positive attitude from Birmingham.

Amazing run chase. Baz Ball with Brains... Maybe that's the holy grail? I'd say the brains part was maybe a little overdue... Anyway, great test, top quality and if this series carries on like this we will be very fortunate! #EngvInd #EngvsInd #Cricket

Well, this is looking very good so far... Must not get carried away! #EngvInd #Cricket #TMS

Insisting a country should respond with diplomacy as your missiles fly toward that country is unlikely to be successful but what do I know.

Nigel Farage's new non-dom policy "would provide a very large and expensive tax windfall to a small number of very wealthy people who are already here... [that] would amount to £34bn of lost Government revenue over five years" taxpolicy.org.uk/2025/06/23/b...

A few people have asked for a shorter summary of our piece on the Reform UK "Britannia card" proposal. We've also updated our report with a full copy of the Reform UK paper. Quick thread:

What a fantastic test this is turning in to. #EngvInd #tmd

I mean, maybe putting them in wasn't the best idea? #EngVInd

Well, putting them in doesn't look like a great decision so far... #EngvInd #LovelyTestCricket #TMS

This is unfortunate, was a good pub the Post Office Vaults.

Don't think I've ever encountered the "Cementitious" before, what a great word!

A 7-year-old lioness reunites with the man who raised her after she was abandoned as a cub 🦁❤️ He slept beside her outside so she'd grow up as naturally as possible. Now she tackles him with love-hugs, face rubs, pure joy-until they collapse in a pile of trust. 🫶 #WildBond #HeartmeltingNature

From Shifty, the new Adam Curtis documentary series. This also describes every Tory Thatcherite twat that has come since and, my goodness, there have been a few...

A ticket for the Sunday of the #Edgbaston Ashes test in 2005 was £36 (Eric Hollies stand). Adjusted for inflation that's now around £64. A ticket in the same stand for the #ENGvsIND series is £115. The fact that it's a sell out does not justify that. #TestCricket is being priced out reach. #TMS

Mr. Antiwar President has us inches away from a Civil War at home and a nuclear war abroad in defense of an ally that is starting random hot regional wars to detract from its ongoing genocide. I’m sure all of this will just naturally cool off.

Give this a listen if you haven't already, very interesting and funny! www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...

Reminder of the felons military record:

Very much enjoying the World Test Championship final, what a great game of test #cricket. Added bonus if the Aussies don't win 😄 #WTCFinal #AusvSA

Asking at the interview if the job involves me having to do "a bunch of bullshit"

How the Daily Mail responded to Liz Truss' economy-crashing tax cuts for the wealthiest, vs how they responded to Rachel Reeves spending a few per cent more on hospitals

A terrifying escalation:

Find someone who is as enthusiastic about you as the ITV Freeview channels are about old Bond films.

Devastating: I needed a specific type of plug and it was exactly where my husband said it would be, in his giant box of plugs and wires that might come in useful one day.

I have a new hero. This owl stole a child's hobby horse and flies around with it!
