Big argument on Irish TV as to the first goal. No dispute that the ‘handball’ was a travesty though. Madley and the linesman looked at each other and then Madley panicked and awarded the handball. VAR should have called him to the screen though. #NFFC

Jim O’Callaghan manages to be an embarrassment to himself, Ireland and the legal profession all at the same time.
Justice and Migration Minister Jim O'Callaghan said he's committed to ensuring Ireland is 'not viewed more favourably than the UK by those seeking to claim asylum'.
His statement comes following proposed reforms to the UK's asylum practices

Incredibly, the #Browns losing to the Jets might not be the most shocking Cleveland sports story of the day…..

Didn’t think we played badly at all in that half but when you’re down the bottom, you are more likely to fall victim to PGMOL incompetence and this looks like another example. Still think there’s something in this game for us but the next goal is crucial. #NFFC

Why the obsession with this? Those who spoiled their vote were able to cast one at a general election less than 12 months ago for a wide range of parties. Linking the spoiled presidential vote to the recent riot in Citywest seems more like an attempt in some quarters to move the Overton Window.
A total of 213,738 people spoiled their vote in the recent Presidential Election, and questions remain as to why so many people chose to do so, writes Juliette Gash.

Musk, presumably, did not read as far as the Scouring of the Shire.
Yes, Lord of the Rings is about how you must trust the “hard men.” Just as Narnia is about an evil lion. And the New Testament tells a tale of a wimp who wouldn’t fight back. Next week on “fascists read classics,” we’ll meet tech visionary George Orwell…

Q: Just last week a minister was shot directly in the face with a pepper round by a DHS agent that left his face bloodied. Are you concerned that this is a religious freedom issue?

Opinion: Donald Trump’s ill-wishers often reassure themselves that his health will fade soon, yet the 79-year-old is still going in roughly the same way, writes Edward Luce. The same is broadly true of the US economy on.ft.com/3LxQd4z
