Great win in the end. The Afridi injury probably had a significant impact on the result but hats off to Ben Stokes again. Phenominal talent and character.

The West Ham semi-final is my lowest point as well. I think things affect you more when you are younger. I went by car with two lads I knew from Runcorn. They dropped me off at Runcorn station on the way back and the only train to Liverpool was a football special bringing Liverpool fans back...

He's the Liz Truss of the business world.

A lot of Tory party members blame Saunak for Johnson having to resign. In a recent poll the majority of them were in favour of Sunak's economic policies over Truss, but they want their revenge on him. Given a choice they would prefer Johnson over Truss or Sunak.

He got lots of credit for his late intervention in the last Scottish independence referendum, although probably not from the Labour party.

Sounds like he could be Homeward Bound.

Never trust a Tory.

If it ain't it'll do until the mess gets here.

Sunak will have been well aware what he was saying. Truss has been banging the rip up the NI protocol drum for months and I think Sunak was making a point to remind people of this and to posiion himself as a man of honour. It is also, I think, a further dig at Boris Johnson.
