Could everyone please repost and share this tweet. I don’t normally ask, but this corner of Norfolk is going to be covered by solar panels and infrastructure the equivalent of 43,200 tennis courts. This insanity must be stopped. Thank you blockeastpyesolar.co.uk @AllisonPearson @TiceRichard @KayMasonBillig

@DanKingdom96 Completely agree. Many is the time we would have lost three or four wickets nervously struggling to a small target like that. To do so in that manner is a huge statement of intent. Impressive !

This is up there with our best victories this century. To go to Chelmsford and dominate Essex like we did is not something that away teams do very often. It's a minor detail but I loved the way we went about the small chase - no fuss, just got it done in no time.

@CollinRugg Trudeau remains an utterly vacuous narcissistic twerp.

NEW: Former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau was spotted attending Coachella with his girlfriend, Katy Perry. The 54-year-old former prime minister was seen wearing a white shirt and a backward hat. Just over a year ago, Trudeau made the announcement that he would be resigning as Liberal Party leader in Canada. Wild.

@SomersetCCC @CountyChamp Stonking win !

VICTORY IN CHELMSFORD!!! 🔥 What a performance from the boys, as we win in Chelmsford in the @CountyChamp for the first time since 2010!! Archie finishes in a flurry, with 41 off just 25 balls!!! #ESSvSOM #YouAreSomerset

@antgib @SomersetCCC @craigoverton12 @bbcbristolsport Great result !

Terrific win for @SomersetCCC which has indeed established their Championship credentials. @craigoverton12 immense with bat and ball and the seam attack out-bowled Essex. Archie Vaughan batted with beautiful fluency to polish things off. BLACKBIRD!! @bbcbristolsport

46 years ago Today, Terry Fox, a 21-year-old Canadian who lost a leg to cancer, began his Marathon of Hope—a cross-country run to raise funds and awareness for cancer research He ran 5,373 km in 143 days before cancer forced him to end his bold journey.

@Kevin_Maguire So 20% tax not paid by REIT, but 30%+ paid personally. Seems HMRC got a good deal Kev..

Richard Tice demanded Angela Rayner quit over £40,000. Will he over £120,000?

@antgib @SomersetCCC @bbcbristolsport Any chance of turn for Jack ?

View from our comm box on a sunny but chilly and windy Chelmsford morning. Big day for @SomersetCCC. If they can turn a winning position into a win it will establish their credentials as genuine C Championship contenders. If they can’t…….? ⁦@bbcbristolsport⁩

@drrkhalid1 @Keir_Starmer Meanwhile back on Planet Earth…..

‼️🔥🚨Breaking At a time when noise often replaces nuance, Keir Starmer @Keir_Starmer is quietly restoring the value of measured, principled leadership. His emphasis on diplomacy, commitment to international alliances, and focus on long-term stability over short-term theatrics reflect a rare seriousness in modern politics. Not every leader needs to be loud—sometimes credibility, clarity, and consistency speak far louder. 🇬🇧 @10DowningStreet @UKLabour

@JeremyClarkson Agreed. Many are like Sherman tanks !

I wonder perhaps if maybe they could also look into the enormous weight of electric cars.

@DanKingdom96 Terrific performance overall, especially from Craig. But **in isolation** 330/6 to 348 all out, (thereby chucking away batting bonus points for the second game running), is simply criminal.

Oh ffs

@somersetpodcast More likely his speeding ticket !

Is that Will Smeed's Police Escort I can hear in the background?

@somersetpodcast @antgib Many runs Smeed heads for the M4.......

TKC off for an X-Ray confirmed by @antgib

@ToppersSnr @antgib @MashStPaddy Re a sub replacement for TK-C, Will Smeed has today scored 209 not out for Somerset 2nd XI at Cardiff, to add to his 148 in the first innings. Time to hit the M5/M4 ?!

Here’s the surface for today’s Esx v Som Day1 Championship fixture. Som have won the toss and will bowl. For Esx: Benkenstein comes in for Thain, whilst Som have no Gregory (injured), as Shaw makes his Som debut today. @antgib @MashStPaddy join me on BBC comms.

🔴 In a damning intervention likely to increase pressure on the Energy Secretary, the former prime minister’s think tank said the Government should immediately approve the Jackdaw and Rosebank oil and gas fields 🔗:telegraph.co.uk/business/2026/…

@antgib @SomersetCCC @bbcbristolsport Great commentary gents ! Two points: 1) Re Alfie being 'rested'. Didn't we do that to Craig O. last season ? Then he got a back spasm & ended up missing the next game as well ! 2) Who would be allowed to sub. for TKC ? Given his 2nd XI tons, do we feel the need for Smeed ?!

All set at Chelmsford, where the good news is that @somersetCCC have won the toss and will bowl and the bad news is no Lewis Gregory. Shaw in for Ogborne ⁦@bbcbristolsport⁩

@DanKingdom96 Tough call for sure.

@HarryHaydon6 Agree to an extent but think we should give the current line-up a proper run first

Well well well. It's early days, only Cardiff UCCE, and we don't have a reason to change our first-choice batting line-up yet but if Smeed keeps this up he's going to be hard to ignore. Otherwise he might look for a loan move to get some County Championship cricket.

@PolitlcsUK Norway & their fossil fuel funded $2Trillion state wealth fund seem to be managing ok.

🚨 NEW: Keir Starmer says he is "fed up" with Donald Trump and Putin "I'm fed up with the fact that families across the country see their bills go up and down on energy businesses bills go up and down on energy because of the actions of Putin or Trump across the world"
