Michael Keane with more goals than Isak (£130m) and Wirtz (£115m) combined this season?
On an unrelated note, looking forward to some fair and balanced coverage about Thierno Barry this week.

Having a very agreeable time @therestpolitics.bsky.social with Rory and Alister. Terrific so far, but they need to sort their tech out (eg get a proper app and not use a browser!)

Had an absolute terrific time at the #BritishGP. Fantastic result, pity the GOAT (Sir Lewis) didn’t get a podium but there’s always next year

In this new world, if you're not around the table, you're on the menu.
If China, Russia, US are allowed to decide Europe's future, our future won't be ours.

Caught between an aggressive Russia and a disengaging America, the continent’s western democracies must now rearm — or pay the price

Another upcoming road trip with my (younger) son, the #BritishGP2025 which we can't both wait for. I am very fortunate to be able to afford to but more importantly I have a wonderful son to share the memory with. As he said "Money is temporary, memories are forever" after visiting #thegrandoldlady

Had the BEST weekend with my son at the #grandoldlady for the last ever FA cup game. Pity about the result but we’re focusing on the PL obviously. Made even better as during breakfast at Bold street cafe when #efc legend Leighton Baines walks in. My jaw dropped! Thank you for the memories #utft

The UK can secure significant growth of 1.7% - 2.2% through a policy of deep alignment with the EU on goods and services, while staying within Starmer's red lines.
This is the approach to push for: peak ambition within the constraints Labour has set.
