Draper making quick work of this final v Rune.

There will be some full that he's too close the pitch and players might land on him if play continues.

Liverpool win lots, they won't go about a league cup win.

Come on Liverpool ffs. Can't be doing with Newcastle winning anything. Firstly success justifies their deplorable ownership and secondly we'll never hear the end of it.

Been mentioned already but Bob Mortimer. Impossible to hate the man, so many amazing and hilarious stories and his brain works in such a unique way.

Probably not in the mood for dancing anymore.

Just got home, the junction coming off the M69 to the M1 to head north was fine, no issues. Mira flooding has gone but looks like the one just past the Holly Lane island heading to Tamworth is still there.

Gone from Loughborough to Atherstone today. Too an hour answer 45 minutes, for what's normally a 40-45 minute drive. Should have turned round the moment I i saw the crossroads at the Spartan chipshop was flooded. Ended up crawling down the A42/M42 and A5. Going home A5, M69 and M1 i think.

He has won things consistently this year though. He's second in the one year rankings and have shot up to 4th in the world overall . He's won the Grand Slam, Premier League and World Series of darts in 2024, and got to the world championship final, all in his debut season. It's sports personality of the year, not a life time achievement award, so why should someone have to build up years of winning things before being up for the award.

Well I'm not sure being shoved in a hotel and given a pittance each week is the land of milk and honey you think it is, but even if those coming over in boats are getting lavished with many pounds, that doesn't really change the above. The numbers of these boats has increased since brexit. When in the EU we were protected by that law in Germany, which we no longer are, and it's been discovered a lot of the smugglers are working out of their, knowing full well as a third country the German law didn't come into play when trying to smuggle people here. So sorting this will have an affect as the Germans can prosecute these gangs working out of Germany. Maybe they'll find other ways but it's closing a door, making it harder for them to smuggle people. I mean the answer to all this is offer safe routes to these people so they don't have to be smuggled in boats and to pull our finger out our arses and process them so we can either send them back or let them integrate into society. There doesn't seem to be much desire from any party to provide safe routes but Labour are processing more and sending more back than the tories were. So all being well, the step up in process applications coupled with the change of law in Germany, we will start to see the number of boats and the numbers in hotels decrease over the next year. Oh and the UK ranks 17th in Europe or Asylum seekers per 10000 population, so we aren't massively more targeted then the rest of the continent.

Yvette Cooper has just agreed a deal with Germany to tighten up their smuggling gangs law. Previously their laws only made someone a criminal of you were smuggling people into another EU country. So Brexit has directly made it easier for smuggling gangs to operate from Germany and bring them to the UK.
