The beautiful Adelaide Oval during the only ODI of the West Indies tour, December 20th 1975. I was lucky enough to visit the ground in December and while massively changed it remains somewhere every cricket fan needs to visit. (Patrick Eagar)

Captn. Ferrers telling me, among other Court passages, how about a month ago, at a ball at Court, a child was dropped by one of the ladies in dancing, but nobody knew who, it being taken up by somebody in their handkercher.

The mask slips and the Trumpish petulance of authoritarian mouth-breathers comes out.
The full tweet is even worse given that it's a journalist, on behalf of a political party, threatening to use public funds to discipline a university because of a decision made by one of its student societies.

This is pretty menacing.
Sarah Pochin wrote to Bangor's university student run debating society requesting that she attend to "answer questions from students."
When they said "no" Reform rolled all it's tanks onto the lawns and said they'll cut funding to the entire university if they win.

This is fair, but why has Starmer got the lowest ratings ever? Seriously, what mistakes have caused this ebb? The comms seems to be a big problem, along with relentless Chris Mason style "It's a day ending in Y, what is Starmer going to to do counter the big beasts of Reform"?
Getting really tired of "this is all a media concoction"...
Starmer has the lowest approval rating of any PM in history bar Truss. Senior ministers are openly and unsubtly positioning. His Chief of Staff, Director of Comms and Cab Sec have all resigned on the same day.
I mean come on...

U.K. might lose a prime minister because a guy who worked for him knew another guy who hung out with Epstein. Meanwhile the U.S. opposition party is telling our President, who was Epstein's best friend, that his secret police should get better training so their public street murders look less messy.

I'm convinced AI is our generation's radium - a discovery with genuinely useful applications in specific, controlled circumstances that we stupidly put in everything from kid's toys to toothpaste until we realised the harm far too late where future generations will ask if we were out of our minds.

What a ridiculous situation. Starmer should and I expect will put his head down and get on with the programme.
Am told Eluned Morgan, First Minister of Wales, is going to follow Anas Sarwar in calling for the PM to stand down;
Also that there will be "Scottish MP ministerial resignations" afterwards
Ministers saying it's the end game...

No, he isn't.
The UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer is about to be thrown from office by his own party. Probably in the next 24hrs.
Not because he’s in the Epstein files, but because he hired someone who was.
That Trump remains President (largely unchallenged) will stain America’s global reputation for 100 years.

I have today been informed that, despite personal assurances to the contrary, the Green party have once again used my image and misrepresented my words on a second leaflet circulated in Gorton and Denton ahead of the by-election. I have now lodged an official complaint with the returning officer.
