Trump encouraging unarmed Iranian civilians to "rise up" against a regime (with the IRGC) that has shown little compunction in killing unarmed protestors is the height of callous ignorance

Really - Iranian commitment to stop funding Hamas, Hezbollah and the Houthis is a major part of the discussions atm alongside the nuclear element.

maybe it's because Trump wants to cut off backing to Hamas and others that threaten his Gaza gravy train.

Obviously Buttler getting some stick for being out of form but how does Banton even get in the side? Brook again showing he has the ability to be one of the greats in all forms of the game - once he sorts his red ball IQ out (despite being the quickest ever batsman to reach 3000 Test runs)...

that's a big day all round.

Tail wagging dog. Start of a slippery slope

if he's guilty then consecutive govts have covered it up. Security services/personal protection etc ultimately report to the Govt.

don't think we're a particularly good bowling side atm. Still seems a continuation of other England teams in that bowlers will do what they can and hopefully batsmen will bail the team out.

also to be clear it's only for EU nationals (not through choice but EU law). Generally those from 3rd countries(inc UK) wouldn't get anything

we're at 15%. Also a lot of other subsidies for families having 2 or more kids - home improvement grants, subsidised home purchase loans, etc

I'm really not sure about this season. Got a fear that more than ever it's going to be about the pitwall managing races rather than the drivers. Been a growing trend over recent seasons about drivers being told in race about having to manage xyz (rather than race) and that looks like it could...

US has been claiming (for many years both Rep & Dem admininistrations) that Venezuelan govt & military allowed & assisted transport of drugs from colombia via Venezuela into US

because he was associated with the right-wing candidate in the Honduran election and Trump wants the left out of Latin & South American govts. What seems to escape scrutiny is how many "financial" criminals Trump has been pardoning - often those whose lobbyists etc have strong contacts with the...

Drug trafficking and narco terrorism (us designated several drug cartels as terrorist organisations last year Inc tren de aragua)

Sometimes the selection policy rationale seems to border on the absurd. Brook (on why Crawley was picked having not played a 50 over game for over 2 years) "we like the height difference between Crawley and Duckett"

Chasing a total you'd hope sensible batting could get

True but due to Adil's large number of not outs. But Crawley only has 12 centuries against Adil's 10. What stats do show is that Crawley statistically an average first class cricketer.

Not sure what to say about this one. Lost 3/4/5 consecutive away 50 series. But turn up a few days before this one starts knowing it's going to be about spin but not getting any proper practice. Up against proper spinners which the batsmen aren't used to, bowling part-time spinners against...

Problem is Canada has the raw materials, natural resources and agricultural products (that it is no longer selling to US) that China wants (or is no longer buying from US) - Europe doesn't have the same to offer.
