We naturally absorb the feelings of the people around us, that's why regardless of what you want to achieve, it's a big competitive advantage to be surrounded by people who are calm, confident, optimistic about the future.

Former Navy SEAL Jocko Willink said it right: “Other than death, all defeats are psychological. Never give up.”

I’m in love with this sentence: “The longer you stay on the wrong train, the more expensive it is to get home.”

Watch Spain at 1-0 last night. That’s courage. That’s bravery. And then watch England at 1-0. What’s the difference? We are a better team than Argentina, I’ve no doubt in my mind. But we deserved to get beat in the end. In fact, it could have been 4-1. Bringing on 3 defenders at 1-0 up. What message does that send? I wrote it in my Daily Mail column after the Mexico game. Until we understand that courage and bravery is controlling possession under pressure and not booting / heading it up the field 40 yards then this will always be the end result.

1. Argentina were not creating much to warrant shifting to 5 at back 2. Tuchel even had time to ditch the disastrous idea of 5 at back as Argentina were creating chances even before the equaliser All in all those are the worst in-game changes that you will see. Sold the match.

@Henrik115 You’re not worried about road blockage unrest causing covenant breaches for Orvana? Looks uncomfortable

Stop being so considerate in situations where you are not considered. Kindness is a gift, not an obligation. You'll be drained if you keep pouring into people who don't reciprocate. Protect your spirit and well-being. Redirect your warmth toward those who reflect it back to you.

The US just did something that should be a wake-up call for every business and policymaker in this country. We’ve just witnessed that a frontier AI model can be switched off worldwide, overnight, by a single government directive. Anthropic didn't choose to switch off our access. This came from Washington. Britain is in the process of building its productivity story, its public services and its future labour market on AI it doesn’t own, cannot govern and cannot switch back on. The compute is elsewhere, the models are elsewhere, and the off switch is elsewhere. We learned this with gas supply in recent conflicts. We are about to learn it again, in the one technology that actually matters to us for the next decade. What this shows us is that we don't have an AI strategy. We have a hosting arrangement. And the host just showed us the terms. This may blow over and get switched back on. But questions regarding national self-sufficiency and resilience, in a world where alliances are more fragile, should be screaming in the minds of our politicians this morning.

The US government, citing national security authorities, has issued an export control directive to suspend all access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 by any foreign national, whether inside or outside the United States, including foreign national Anthropic employees. The net effect of

Each circle has a different story

International creditors are alarmed that of the £132bn Labour borrowed during the fiscal year to March, a jaw-dropping £110bn went on debt interest payments – almost the same as state education spending, twice what we spend on defence. Yes, the Tories left national debt north of 90pc of GDP. But this economically naive government has made a bad situation far worse. Now, with Labour lurching further left after getting hammered in recent local elections, the markets are calling time. It’s clear Keir Starmer will soon be replaced by someone even more leftwing. All leadership rivals in the frame would crank up borrowing and spending even more than Labour already has since taking office in July 2024. Back then, the Office for Budget Responsibility was forecasting state borrowing of £323bn by the end of the fiscal year 2029. Labour’s run-away spending and growth-crushing tax rises means that same five-year borrowing forecast is now £583bn – 80pc higher. But the trade unions, MPs and Labour activists who will choose Starmer’s successor want even more. Since Labour took office, the UK’s 10-year gilt yield has risen by 1.16 percentage points (or 116 basis points), compared to 86bps in France, 79bps in Germany and just 17bps in Italy. 🧵6/7

The ministers urging Starmer to go are feeding the hysteria. The next leader will be subject to instant leadership speculation and the next, and the next, whether Labour, Reform or Tory. Britain is becoming ungovernable. And the media fixation on this tittle tattle is not helping

Feels like the UK is headed for its sixth prime minister in seven years. This isn't just about flawed personalities, it's about a flawed country.

For context, that Marathon fella ran the equivalent of - 440 x 100m. He averaged each 100m at 17 seconds. 😂 Mental.

Set a treadmill at 21kph ( max most will go to) and try to run for 30 seconds on it. That's what he did for 1 hour, 59 minutes and 30 seconds. The peak of human physical achievement. Insane, absolutely insane.

Throwing a headbutt towards another player: Yellow card. Touching someone's ponytail: Off you go.

I think a huge part of the reason why no government has been able to enact difficult pro-growth reforms is that the average voter still believes we remain a rich country. You hear this in politicians’ rhetoric “the sixth richest country in the world”. We’re the sixth largest economy but now far from the richest. Per capita we’re tanking down the rankings. One of the reasons why Poland or China have been able to have growth miracles in recent years is they think like a developing country. They know they were poor and they have to build to get rich. We think we are rich and that we don’t have to build anything anymore, or that when we do, it has to be the most expensive possible version of what we build. Bat tunnels. Fish Discos. Kittiwake hotels. We think we’re rich so we can afford to chase some wealth creators away, afford to mandate public biodiversity net gain on every development in the country, and afford to ratchet up state pension spending five times faster than the rate of growth in the economy. We’re suffering from acute ‘rich country delusion’. It’s only once we realise we’re far poorer than we should be that we can start to fix this nonsense.
