Comedy palate cleanser. Robert Jenrick about to grandstand but reminded of his defection from one party to another this year is gold. The timing. First line great. Second line superb but crowd not recovered from the first to fully appreciate it 😊

NEW BOOK RREVIEW Hans Bolling, in his review of Andy Carter’s «Games, Greek and Pluck: Classicism, Masculinity, Elite Education and British Sport, 1850–1914» (Peter Lang), calls it an excellent book. @andykerrcarter idrottsforum.org/bolhan_carter2…

@Wil94831317Bill Sorry Bill no idea other than Rugby Union's strict amateur ethos in the past meant that they didn't really like to formalise competitions or have trophies for a long time. The Calcutta Cup was a bit of an exception because it got in before they really clamped down on it

@andykerrcarter Do you happen to know why it took until 2001 for The Tom Richards Cup to come into existence for The Lions/Australia tests?

Akbar is a unique example of tolerance in an era of religious divisions, presiding over an empire of flourishing religious pluralism and meritocracy. But how did he go about building and cementing this empire? And what lengths will he go to to eliminate those threatening his rule? Listen @EmpirePodUK as William and @tweeter_anita explore how Akbar consolidated his power. linktr.ee/empirepoduk
