What a refreshing change! Scoring first 🇹🇷

This paragraph is spot on, but the public have been brainwashed for decades that “tough choices” must be inherently worth it, and they should never be the beneficiaries of public investment

BP Win to Scarlets then 😊

- remember the fraud claims against this Tory donor who flew Rishi Sunak in a rented private jet last year?

- now we can reveal that he's had £14m of assets frozen by the High Court Financial Times

Most damaging bit of the Mark Menzies story is the allegation that government whips knew about this for months and chose to do nothing

Kate McCann I am an economist i did listen to her alternative view and discarded it as being batshit crazy. If any of my students had made any such claims i would have failed them. So why should i listen to utterly stupid deranged ideas that i warned before they were implemented would have

Darren Hughes Thanks Darren.

What we do at Ospreys is actually very similar to what we did at Gloucester. Gloucester isn’t called a region, but still works with the grassroots clubs in the area it’s assigned.

With the new management at the WRU I’m genuinely excited about what we can achieve.

Yet, still no strategy nor any progress in the domestic game- 2 senior teams have folded & 1 more will this year

Imagine where we could have been now, 3 seasons in.

Do something!

Some of the Liz Truss 'discourse' over the last few days is criminally indulgent. Governing isn't a game/political show. A key reason democracies have tended to have faster economic growth is economic accountability; leaders that do a bad economic job pay the (political) price

But most policy isn't that clear.

I read a LOT of centre left pamphlet-speak calling for industrial policy ... 1/

Great to chat with the Scarlets’ academy head Scott Sneddon on the pathway, the threat of English clubs and a special crop of players coming through.

Brenden Nel They chose to enter a weekly knockout competition whilst being 10,000 miles away from the competition; just highlights the stupidity of having them in

US adversaries are learning that the US can be manipulated into abandoning its interests in a winnable fight.

La Rochelle have such an amazing squad. French rugby is something else
