I am expecting Parkrun to be very quiet this weekend.

I followed Nigel Farage on and off for 10 years. When all's said and done about his standing in Clacton, milkshake incident etc, he remains at the end of the day one of the most repugnant shameless liars in UK history. Some of his standout lesser-known lies I've compiled FTR 🧵

I spoke at length and extensively with Nigel Farage for 3 weeks while in the jungle. I wanted to make my own mind up about him and his views. Conclusion is simple. He was very good at washing the dishes in the river but when it comes to politics he has no plan and no substance

Not once has Harry said "faithfuls". He only says "Fatefuls" and I think he thinks that's what they're called. #TheTraitorsUK #TheTraitors

Searched Mr Q, hoping they'd sell snooker and pool cues. Alas, more gambling. Sigh. #TheMasters

Not much better in sport than watching a 147 in the snooker. Superb. #masterssnooker

The official music video for ‘Now And Then’ is live on YouTube directed by Peter Jackson. TheBeatles.lnk.to/NowAndThen… He describes finding “a collection of unseen outtakes in the vault, where the Beatles are relaxed, funny and rather candid. We wove humour into some footage shot in 2023. The result is pretty nutty and provided the video with much needed balance between the sad and the funny. I realised we needed the imagination of every viewer to create their own personal moment of farewell to The Beatles" Jackson concludes by saying he has “genuine pride” in the finished piece, his first ever music video “and I’ll cherish that for years to come”.

WCH storylines I’m most looking forward to: 100W: Deep field + Should be fast + Sha’Carri! + SAFP 🐐 + Sha’Carri vs Jamaica. 100M: Fred defend? Jacobs???? Omanyala 1st African🏅? Noah 100m medal? 200W: Shericka vs Gabby! 400M: WR holder Wayde is back! Versus OLY & WCH🥇 Gardiner dominant since Waydes injury. 110hM: Can Holloway three-peat vs the Jamaicans? 1500m: Can Nuguse medal for the US? Kipyegon double attempt. Hassan triple attempt again. Lyles 200m WR and 100🏅attempts. US 4x100 relays: Can they avoid DQ’s and win? 800W: can Hodgkinson get a 🥇 + Moraa vs Hodkinson. If she runs is Mu as good at 800 this year?

Is it just me or is the commentary on @BBCSport @BBCOne a second or so ahead of the visuals, creating a mess of an experience to watch? #ENGNGA #Lionesses

No spoilers, but this is the cleverest football advert I've ever seen.
