Apropos of nothing I found a dead magpie in the garden today. Entrails eaten but the head was absolutely clean decapitated and gone. Do cats do this? Can’t work out why it would take the head - can’t be overly nutritious, and not eat the meat on the legs and wings. Only other land predator here is a polecat so found it quite odd.

I've backed Croatia twice at 16s just after they conceded a goal and then laid them twice just after they scored a goal at 6s. So I'm green all round. I might do this more often. I know nothing about football but this is fun.

Reverend Steenwyck: Their heads were not found severed. Their heads were not found at all.
Ichabod Crane: The heads are... g-gone?

The expansion of Heathrow is set to move a step closer as Sir Keir Starmer plans to publish the blueprint for a third runway within days
I think it's too late for this, and also I appreciate that I 'would' say this, but Starmer should really tack right to combat Burnham. The big centrepiece of which would be to dump Milliband and challenge Burnham to say whether he'd reinstate him. Burnham's 'clean air zone' in Manchester is a black spot on his reputation. Make Burnham the standard bearer for Millibandism and Net Zero, while statesmanlike Starmer realises we must go slower for the good of our national security. Burnham also dumps Milliband he pisses off activists and members and looks weak. Or he embraces Milliband and picks the wrong side of the argument.
It would work well politically, but it's probably too late now as any big moves, including Milliband being forced out, would probably bring the whole house of cards down.
That would permanently cement Starmer as entirely redundant dud from Labour’s perspective. “Asthma for our kids!” v Burnham’s “Freebies for everyone”. Only one winner there.
And we can disagree on the underlying argument, but there’s no doubt that Miliband is on the right side of opinion for all Labour and Labour adjacent voters, which is what matters here. Even Reform voters are surprisingly pro renewables.
And the hundreds of thousands of unemployed, as a direct result of the highest energy prices in the OECD, are the price worth paying for Ed Miliband.
This is just bollocks and you know it. Industrial electricity has been insane for decades here, and Miliband has actually cut costs to a small degree.
Not gone nearly far enough mind, but the Conservatives are highly vulnerable given it’s their system we are encumbered by. And as far as I can tell Farage wants us to prostrate ourselves to global fossil fuel markets which is a niche opinion at best.
What EM policies have cut energy costs, specifically? As opposed to just being lucky with global prices falling.
Some sensible stuff on network costs, BICS too (though that should be expanded much further to 100% of businesses).
To be clear, these measures go nowhere near far enough IMO given we should be moving to electrification as fast as possible - I think Miliband has been an abject failure but from a different perspective to you. He should be going much further and much faster.
But he has no storage plan, so all of the renewables need O&G backup.
Personally I’d have been all-in on nuclear like the French. Much as I dislike commending the French.
He’s approving massive batteries all over the place. And he’s approved new CCGT to provide that backup.
Honestly it really is a derangement. None of this stuff stands up to scrutiny; you’ve just decided you don’t like him and therefore anything he does. The inverse of your love of all things Trump, I guess.
VAR reckons that was onside, but I’m totally lost as to where they’re actually drawing lines any more.
So anything you cannot legitimately score a goal with isn't offside, so that's why is arm is ahead of the defender's foot's it's not offside, everything the Croatia player could legitimately score was not offside.

Some hope on that front given Trump’s supposed unconditional surrender.

I've now backed Croati for a third time at 22s. I'm still green on England. Come on Croatia. i need to lay you again.

Braver souls than I doing that in Economy or Premium Economy. I did 16 hours on China Airlines economy and almost threw a wobbly.
We did that with Qantas with a refuel in Bangkok
The only problem we lost an engine 2 hours out of Bangkok, resulting in a long period jettisoning fuel from the wing tips before a full emergency landing back at Bangkok
Did you ever wake up, kiss the person sleeping beside you and feel glad you're alive?
I did.
Can’t fly with QANTAS any more though.
This morning actually.
Lucky you.
I absolutely got bodied my eldest son recently.
He's doing his exams and we were talking about his future, and I told him his grandparents might want him to have an arranged marriage, my son's response was
'I might go for that, they've been married for over 50 years, you've not had a relationship that's lasted more than 5 years.'
I think England will be better defensively if they pick Guehi.
I’d seriously consider putting Rice at centre back. It’s actually what he is.
You've seen him live more than I have, what I do like about Tuchel is that he doesn't give a shit about what people think, he'll do what he thinks will work.

Agreed and Rice taken off which is a bit of a surprise when you’re leading by a goal.
The fullback situation worries me. I’m not that big a fan of O’Reilly. It’s all fine when you’re dominating a game as Man City do, but he’s not that good when under pressure and having to defend.

Trump on Iran/Ballistic Missiles: They have to have some. Some of these guys, I don't think they are smart. "Sir, you should let them have any missiles." What am I going to do, let Saudi Arabia have missiles but they can't have them? Missiles aren’t the problem. Missiles, they hurt a little location, but they don't blow up the planet.

This second half is the most I have enjoyed watching England for a long time as much more active and forward going. The match has been very much like a premier league match, fast, physical and mistakes. Best game I’ve watched so far.

England teams are always better when trying to play positively.
That doesn't mean attempting to play positively will always work.
But it has a much better chance of working than trying to play cautiously or trying to be sophisticated and 'continental'.

Absolutely insane attacking football yet you could drive a coach and horses through our defence at times.
An amusing illustration of how the price increases of the previous few years can be partially reversed.
Many / most people will not recognise that as they would still compare to the pre covid price of IIRC 33p or 35p for a standard tin.
Donald Trump's never had a lentil on his face.
With the tackling / fouling of that era their bodies would have been falling apart by their early 30s.

Great game to watch.
Cracking match, and well done England!
