Just thinking. In 2021 Jack Conan was Ireland’s 2nd choice No8, behind CJ Stander. In 2025 he is Ireland’s 2nd choice No8 behind Caelan Doris.
He is about to start his 6th Lions test in a row at No8.

Sanction the whole country
Times reporting UK will sanction far-right Israeli ministers Itamar Ben-Gvir and Bezel Smotrich.
Smotrich approved expansion of West Bank settlements. Has said he wouldn't allow "a grain of wheat" into Gaza. Ben-Gvir has advocated the expulsion of Palestinians from Gaza.

Incredible tennis. Hard to believe that in just a couple of weeks both these players will lose to Jack Draper, as he wins his first Wimbledon

Jesus, that is a proper bollocking.
David Lammy furiously confronts Priti Patel as the Conservatives refuse to condemn Netanyahu for his war crimes and horrifying plan to starve (any remaining) children in Gaza.
Grim scenes. Just when you think the Tories can’t get any lower… along comes Priti Patel.

A quick reminder of what today is really about: Russia threatens Europe. America is gone. It will not save us. Britain and Europe must work closely and with trust, on defense and everything else, in order to counter the Kremlin threat.

Brexit was a referendum on whether the UK should leave the European Union.
The UK has left the European Union. Referendum fulfilled.
If the people bleating about "Brexit Betrayal" wanted the Referendum to enshrine their pet policy preferences, they should have included them in the question.

I think this is very true
The happiest people are rarely the most successful. The most successful people are rarely the happiest. The core of happiness is satisfaction, a sense of having enough. That sense is the enemy of the highest achievement.
So choose which is more important to you and pursue it.
