I went to Tokyo last year and discovered you can only buy metro tickets with cash. It was a total pain.
Thank you Gary Lineker for using the platform you earned with your talent and charm to stand up for some of the most victimised people in the world. You're a shining example to us all.
I’m old fashioned enough to think the BBC should be leading on what the deal is and what it means. Rather than the political claims from both sides.
Cathy Newman, "Has Keir Starmer lost his way?"
Alf Dubs, "This is not the Keir Starmer I know and have for a long time a great deal of respect for"
"If we call them strangers, it's hard for local communities to be as welcome as they want to be"
Starmer: this is "incalculable damage"
laura loomer tweet: WOKE MARXIST POPE
Cassocks are red
Conclaves are dope
Wake up babe we got a
A question that I haven't heard a good answer to: if cutting migration by a third in a year hasn't changed the narrative on it at all - what would make you think cutting it by another third (or half] would?
NHS cancer patients denied life-saving drugs due to Brexit costs, report finds.
Britons found to have ‘lost out’ while rest of Europe benefits from golden age of research and treatments.
RIP Barry Hoban who has died at the age of 84. He rode the Tour de France 12 times and won eight stages. Also won Vuelta stages, Gent-Wevelgem, the GP Midi Libre, the Henninger Turm and more. Pictured here on the left here with team leader Raymond Poulidor

The number of people travelling from Europe to the US in recent weeks has plummeted by as much as 35%, as travellers have cancelled plans in response to Trump’s policies and rhetoric, and horror stories from the border.

A senior Trump administration official tells Rolling Stone how deeply unfunny Elon Musk is.
"He’s not funny. Like, at all. He makes these jokes and little asides and smiles and then looks almost hurt if you don’t lap up his humor."

I wish there was some fancy economic term for when a person deliberately lowers the price of every single stock on the planet before then raising them all with a wave of their hand, in a manner you might say would grant immediate, near-infinite wealth to anyone informed of such plans beforehand.
The only good thing about having insane people in charge of the US economy is seeing Tesla’s share price tank again today. Bizarre that shareholders of that firm are continuing to employ a CEO who is dead set on destroying the company and what is left of their damaged below the waterline brand.
This is really unfair to everyone who just voted for him for the racism.
This is the most striking similarity to the Truss episode - Sunak described pretty accurately in advance what would happen if she beat him in the leadership contest, and nobody cared/listened.
Pogacar is such a beast. What a rider. I love Flanders and seeing him win it in the rainbow jersey is super cool #RVV
Trevor Philips, "Is the 10% tariff on the UK a benefit of Brexit?"
Caroline Lucas, "Leaving the EU costs us 5% of GDP"
"Trump's 10% tariff has an impact of 0.3%"
"And this special relationship with the US is no better than an island with a whole load of penguins on it"
An utterly repugnant and obnoxious man. How dare he speak to someone like that?
Your tariff rate is your star sign divided by the number of boys you've kissed, multiplied by one
Surely the answer here is the rest of the world trading with each other more. The US can erect their wall and live in total isolation, selling themselves their own products (likely ever bigger guns). 7.7 billion humans don’t need 340 million insane people dictating to them. Just leave them to it.
The mRNA COVID vaccine was a scientific miracle, and people reading history a century from now will be completely bewildered by not only the lack of celebration but the outright hostility toward this achievement.
Simon Tisdall's final column for the Observer has a powerful message for Britain. Well worth taking a moment out of your Sunday to read:

Keir Starmer keeps saying he doesn’t want to reverse Brexit. This is what Brexit means. Isolationism and economic pain.
"Free speech, I fear, is in retreat and in the interests of comedy, my friends, but also in the interest of truth, I will admit that sometimes the loudest voices for censorship have come not from within Europe, but from within my own country"
–J D Vance, in Munich, last month
Thousands of people are ditching Tesla. Here’s one of them with a message you can see from space.

Tesla's brand and sales are plummeting in the US. We can do the same here—and March is key. This should be our biggest month for EV sales because a tax break expires at month-end.
Here's three ways you can ensure Tesla misses out on their slice of that pie. 1/4

This guy is clearly a Russian agent. What on earth are America doing letting him run their country?
Trump is even worse than the disaster that was Liz Truss. The poor guy is clearly senile and needs to be in some kind of nursing home. What is America doing letting this loser destroy their economy? It’s a slow motion car crash.
