Dan Jarvis confirms that, not only was there no Home Office involvement in witness statements of Deputy NSA regarding the China spying case, but the CPS made this *a requirement*. Wouldn't the then Home Sec Cleverly & HO ministers Philp, Jenrick, & Tugendhat - pushing conspiracies - know this? 🧐 ~AA

Newcastle United have completed their 4th signing of the summer, shelling out ~£40m for Jacob Ramsey from EPL rival Aston Villa.
Like Thiaw, the club have secured a player that’s been on their shortlist for a long time. Why does Howe like him so much? It’s time to take a closer look 🧵 #NUFC

The 24/25 season was historic for #NUFC. Howe turned a rough summer into our first major domestic 🏆 in 70 years—and UCL qualification.
But success brings expectation. With PSR easing & more games in 25/26, fans & Howe expect investment.
But who to buy? Welcome to my third annual Summer Transfer 🧵
