@AllThingSkyBlue There were several scouts there tonight looking at Darnell Furlong a full back who can certainly tackle well without alarming the referee or drawing his attention, yes the scouts from Harlequins, Exeter Chiefs and Leicester Tigers were very impressed with his performance.

#goldenwhistles I am interested on comments about cost. Are we referring to operating cost, capital cost of construction or cost of infrastructure maintenance? UK construction cost is between 25 and 35% higher than comparable countries with similar timetable needs,

Excellent result for Coventry City at Swansea City but a special mention of the performance of referee Sam Allison and his assistants Messrs Dallison and Singh Gill who ensured the game flowed with the minimum of disruption

Not just in the Coventry Motor Museum but also at the entrance to the British Ambassador’s residence in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

@LewisJWarner Lynda, may we discuss this? I had severe doubts about Andy Street’s programme. You may remember I was asked in 2023 to review the programme by Transpirt for the Midlands, which subsequently withdrew the invitation on Mr.Street’s insistence. Michael

NEW: Richard Parker tells me his independent review of transport promises will make judgement on whether Andy Street lied about transport projects and the funding behind them. Mr Street insists he left billions behind for transport. Read: itv.com/news/central/2…

I agree with this. #VAR destroyed the #FACupsemifinal. There was no “clear and obvious error” by the officials on the pitch and the 4-3 goal by heroic @Coventry_City should have stood. Instead of being remembered as one of the greatest FA Cup matches in history, it's yet another VAR washout. The offside rule was brought in to stop goalhanging, not to disallow a run by a striker whose big toe is further forward than the last defender. Absolutely gutting for everyone watching.

@AllThingSkyBlue Missed chances, not helped by an appalling referee, Gavin Ward, usual incompetent performance allowing Norwich to kick lumps out of Tats in the first 20 minutes, without awarding fouls, then pulling us back to the touch line for our free kick, when we were 2 on 1 with the keeper.

@FlywheelMedia1 At £3.9 bn it is incredibly overpriced, beset by unnecessary procurement methods and a wasteful form of contract.

It's good news because it needs doing, but £3.9bn to upgrade EIGHT MILES of railway makes #HS2 look like a bargain. Rebuilding while the shop is open is very expensive and guarantees years of disruption to passengers.

Hearing that Network Rail has landed the funding it needs for the major TransPennine Route Upgrade remodelling work around Huddersfield. I can imagine DfT ministers will want to announce this one - hopefully soon.

@Anthony_Hornsby Beaten by a very ordinary team, to which we paid far too much respect, if we have converted the penalty we could well have won in the second half

I know the 10min highlights aren’t an exact reflection of yesterday’s game, but they suggest that actually we were not that bad other than the defending for the two goals conceded. Bidwell chance, Wright offside goal, penalty, goal at the death. All positive. #pusb

@AllThingSkyBlue I thought he had a decent game, given his lack of service and support from midfield and the wing backs in the first half. He is improving week by week and was, in my opinion, unlucky to be substituted

@mbpcworldwide Can you point me in the direction of where you have published the workings supporting those figures (the £182.1bn). Apologies if you’ve already done that previously and I missed it, but it would be useful to see.

The most recent 6 monthly report to Parliament on HS2 by @HuwMerriman makes fascinating reading (see end of tweet for link). It’s calm and measured with no ‘alarm’, ‘spiralling’ or ‘out of control’ rhetoric. It notes that inflation is causing concerns (but doesn’t go mad (1/4)
