I hope another Sinclair can ignite a gaming revolution with the Pi-powered GamerCard | Stuff The 6.5mm GamerCard is a featherweight handheld from Sir Clive Sinclair’s nephew – and it’s gunning for its own slice of retro-gaming glory

Had an absolute terrific time at the #BritishGP. Fantastic result, pity the GOAT (Sir Lewis) didn’t get a podium but there’s always next year

Rhetorical question, but why didn't Jotta get a yellow for simulation? As he DEFINITELY simulated contacted and then DEFINITELY simulated going down.

Who will defend Europe? Caught between an aggressive Russia and a disengaging America, the continent’s western democracies must now rearm β€” or pay the price

In this new world, if you're not around the table, you're on the menu.

If China, Russia, US are allowed to decide Europe's future, our future won't be ours.

European leaders...lead!

Another upcoming road trip with my (younger) son, the #BritishGP2025 which we can't both wait for. I am very fortunate to be able to afford to but more importantly I have a wonderful son to share the memory with. As he said "Money is temporary, memories are forever" after visiting #thegrandoldlady

Let's be honest, Everton weren't great at times and even despite that, we still managed to collect the 3 pts ! #Moyes2.0 continues and #beto has been revelation. Excited to see what #charley does next too #efc #utft

FT. The last-ever Merseyside derby at Goodison ends even after Tarkowski's late, LATE strike.

A point was no less than we deserved. UTT! πŸ’™

Whatever way you want to cut it, and whatever the result, the reds do NOT look or play like a team that are 30 pts above us. Fact. #utft #efc

Oh I’ve had pleasure in the past where I’ve taken him as an away afcBournemouth fan to Goodison, OT, Ethihad, Emirates, st Mary’s, the bridge etc but he was blown away by the home fans on Saturday. He can’t wait to go to Bramley Moore Dock now! #efc #utft

Had the BEST weekend with my son at the #grandoldlady for the last ever FA cup game. Pity about the result but we’re focusing on the PL obviously. Made even better as during breakfast at Bold street cafe when #efc legend Leighton Baines walks in. My jaw dropped! Thank you for the memories #utft

Research claims EU deal will fuel growth β€” and Labour is listening A report says Britain can mend some of the economic damage of Brexit without crossing the red lines set by Keir Starmer

The UK can secure significant growth of 1.7% - 2.2% through a policy of deep alignment with the EU on goods and services, while staying within Starmer's red lines.
This is the approach to push for: peak ambition within the constraints Labour has set.

Trekking up from the south coast for my last (most likely) visit to the grand old lady on Saturday with my younger (afc Bournemouth fan) son ❀️ It will be emotional but I am so looking forward to it one last time #utft #efc (also watched Howard’s way again last night 😍)

Just watching FCSB vs Man U Europe League game and in the stadium they're celebrating their European Cup win in 1986. I was just thinking that should have been #everton not FCSB if things were different.... #utft

Graph showing whether Brits think we were right or wrong to vote to leave the EU since the referendum

Graph showing whether Brits think we were right or wrong to vote to leave the EU since the referendum

The number of Brits who think leaving the EU was the right decision is at its lowest level EVER.

This is a moment.

New polling from @yougov.co.uk five years on from Brexit.
