Realistically, a bank holiday to reflect on the rich history of English (men's) sporting failure would be far more appropriate anyway.

How many times?
Jeremy Corbyn piled up votes in places where Labour was already popular.
Keir Starmer made Labour popular in more places.
Only one of those things is worth doing.
And a total vote count has no value apart from statistical curiosity.
🚨 NEW: Keir Starmer received fewer votes than Jeremy Corbyn did in both 2017 and 2019
2017 - 12,887,918 votes (Corbyn)
2019 - 10,269,051 votes (Corbyn)
2024 - 9,686,329 votes (Starmer)

Thing about attacking leakers - it looks like you're angrier about being found out than about the actual issue.

There's a line to go on the front of the manifesto...
Labour's Tulip Siddiq compares fiscal rules and the economy to murder in quite a colourful interview with @NickFerrariLBC
"It is a commitment depending on the fact it abides by our fiscal rules... everything has to depend on external circumstances... its like saying to your partner I will marry you but if I suddenly find out you murdered a two year old last year, you might not want to... I think that's what we are saying. If there's a global financial crisis we need to review our commitments that that time." @LBC

Hypothetically, pushing out big stories on Net Zero and HS2 ahead of party conference would really make sense if you had an even bigger announcement on the way.

Look, I'll be honest, if Todd Boehly's entire transfer strategy is based around trolling Liverpool, I can get behind that.

Enzo Fernandes making it clear that he is comfortably the best player on the pitch at Stamford Bridge today. Some glorious stuff there.

Coming soon to a newspaper near you - "Britain's surging wolf population is causing an ecological disaster. I have a solution. Bears."

Presumably it was a different Rishi Sunak who was Chancellor when the gov't rolled out a National Bus Strategy explicitly warning that -
1 - Growing car usage could grind UK roads to a halt
2- Transport across the UK needed to be *more* like London

If you're looking to get a quick, basic temperature check on how No10's approach to AI is evolving - @soundboy, who wrote this piece, has just been named head of the UK's AI foundation model taskforce.
One to watch.

Such a thoughtful conversation.
Many great points in here, not least that we are all lumbered with vocab from the 1950s.
Nailing down the language we use to describe emerging tech is a huge - and ongoing - challenge.
It feels like none of us are doing a great job right now.
Of all the AI conversations I’ve been having recently, this was one of the most thought-provoking. For @ftweekend, I had lunch with Ted Chiang, whose stories I encourage you all to read to expand your idea of what is possible.

Chelsea today locking in their position as -
- Not the best team in the country
- Of three, the worst team in West London
- Of seven, the second worst team in London, entirely.
Good riddance to a miserable season.

🚨 Firing off the new job klaxon! 🚨
There's never been a more important time to talk about AI. I'm really excited to be joining the excellent tech team at Edelman and play my part.

This is great. I’m not colourblind. But getting some kind of idea how badly the world (and the web) is designed on that front feels genuinely revelatory.
