Why does a seventh-tier club in a Leicestershire market town get thousands of Spanish football fans watching their games online and groups coming over to watch matches?
A very cool story, like a real-life watch along Football Manager save.

Vital piece of investigative reporting from Sky. They've uncovered the X algorithm which feeds users extremist right wing material from the moment they join the site. It is a far-right radicalisation engine, by design.

This is a disaster. We've gone from having one of the best defences in the Prem to one that leaks goals and can't defend set pieces.

At the World Championships in Tokyo, Armand Duplantis cleared 6.30m for his 14th pole vault world record. He’s literally raising the bar again and again.
But what does breaking records have to do with climate change? 🧵

One of the many reasons the Green Party is 'refreshing politics' is its refusal to adopt a defensive stance. This is how we will make progress - tell them loudly we know what they're doing and why.
Many on the right will try and belittle and undermine what’s happening.
But here’s the truth. Tens of thousands are joining Greens. Polls are at record highs. People are just starting to feel hope again.
