Very good from @andrewduffeu.bsky.social
Ukraine needs to join the European Union as fast as possible.
Neither Trump nor Putin can veto this!
ANDREW DUFF advocates for the fast-track accession and calls for a revision of its terms and conditions:

Short #ncfc thread. Shocking indiscipline @ SoL. Unnecessary, petulant Sainz foul 20 yards out = FK for SAFC 1st goal. Winner followed sending off of Cordoba for 2nd yellow. They’re called ‘cautions’ for a reason. There could be subsequent charge for failing to walk straight away imo. (More …)

This latest shocking rise in sewage spills must be the final straw for Thames Water. The government must put this broken firm into special administration to give customers the fair deal they deserve.
