The passion for pints when it hits 20 degrees is second to none in this country

🥲❤️ This is why football is more than just a game... Carla, Go Ahead Eagles’ laundry worker for 27 years, is retiring at the end of the season. Before the match against AZ Alkmaar, the club and fans surprised her with a special tifo. She was left speechless. 🫂

@CTRLFC it’s just not good enough

THE MAN THEY CALLED A NUTTER JUST GOT A KNIGHTHOOD In 2003, the Post Office fired Alan Bates from his small branch in Llandudno, Wales. The reason? He refused to repay £1,200 that the Horizon computer system had invented out of thin air. He invested £65,000 in that post office. He made 507 calls to the helpline. He kept meticulous records proving the software was broken. The Post Office's response was to terminate his contract and walk away. Their own internal documents called him "unmanageable." People at industry conferences called him a nutter and a thief. He couldn't afford a hotel room at one protest event. He slept in a tent. So naturally he spent the next 20 years building the Justice for Subpostmasters Alliance, dragging the Post Office into the High Court, winning a landmark judgment in 2019 that proved Horizon was riddled with bugs, errors and defects, and triggering the overturning of more than 900 wrongful convictions. Over 900 people were prosecuted. Around 700 convicted. 236 went to prison. The scandal was linked to at least 13 suicides. The compensation bill has now passed £1.2 billion. Fujitsu (@Fujitsu_Global) knew about the bugs from 1999. The Post Office (@PostOfficeNews) knew. They prosecuted people anyway. Then they destroyed the evidence, sacked the forensic accountants when they got too close to the truth, and deleted social media comments from victims. Paula Vennells, the CEO who presided over much of it, collected a CBE. She kept it for years. Bates turned down an OBE in 2023 specifically because of that. He finally accepted a knighthood in 2024. After the ITV drama. After the public inquiry. After the nation had caught up with what he'd been saying since 2003. Twenty years. Sleeping in a tent. Called a thief by the people who were supposed to represent him. Sir Alan Bates was right from the start. The institution was lying from the start. That is the whole story.

Jewish communities are living in fear amid rising antisemitism, including these appalling arson attacks. We must confront this. At the same time, antisemitism is being weaponised to shut down criticism of the Israeli government. Both true. Both concerning. Both antisemitic.

The Times, "Britain should rejoin EU, says man who led Brexit department" "None of Leave's 'heady promises' had materialised"

Sunrise in Whitby never disappoints 🌞

🇮🇹Italy Just OFFICIALLY REJECTED Trump’s Wild Proposal to Replace Iran in the World Cup. 🇮🇹Italy said “No. We’ll qualify the old-fashioned way- by actually playing football.” A rare moment of pure sporting integrity
