I was always football mad, but with a Mackem grandad & my first 5 matches at SJP we didn't score a single goal, was I always destined to be a Toon fan? King Kev and his Entertainers suckered me in. Thank you #7 RIP The Messiah I'd love it if we beat them, love it x #NUFC

The away end is an integral part of English football β€” a glorious, viscous, putrid glue that keeps the whole edifice together. These people are a special breed; faithful, hardy and very committed, left at the mercy of the fixture list and travel disruption, which is frequent. @GeorgeCaulkin was in the away end on Sunday to watch Newcastle United beat Crystal Palace: nyti.ms/4BudJF9

Since the American President announced the energy ceasefire a week ago, Russia has deliberately attacked Ukraine’s energy and oil and gas sectors 76 times. Last night alone, there were strikes on substations in the Vinnytsia, Zhytomyr, Khmelnytskyi, and Odesa regions. Tens of thousands of families remain without power. Energy workers and repair crews are working virtually around the clock to restore electricity supply. Overnight, the Russians also struck residential buildings in our regions. As of now, 12 people have been reported injured, including two children. Two people have been killed. My condolences to their families and loved ones. This morning, there was a strike on an agricultural enterprise in Volyn. All necessary services are working at the site. In total, over this past week, the Russians have attacked Ukraine with almost 2,700 attack drones, 1,700 aerial bombs, and 66 missiles, most of them ballistic. The main targets of these strikes are energy facilities – the Russians are trying to cause a blackout. And America should see that Russia is not taking any reciprocal steps in response to sanctions relief or agreements. On the contrary, they take every signal of an opportunity to make money as proof that their bet on war is paying off and they can keep fighting. It is because of this position of Russia’s that the war continues, not because Ukraine is rightfully defending itself. It is Russia that must face pressure for peace to have a chance. Thank you to everyone who understands this and helps.

Currently exporting 5.6GW of power, 20% of everything we are generating. Norway and France hungrily gobbling up nearly 2/3rds of it. A good period to not be burning gas across Europe. #NetZero #EnergySovereignty
