This is possibly the best advert ever on British TV. For Carlsberg beer it features some great England players who play in a Sunday league match. Lots of banter, crunching tackles & great action, including a Bobby Charlton rocket.

@Eurail I am trying to reserve seats for several journeys in Spain for which we have booked the tickets on four Eurail first class passes. I can see the seat reservations are available but when I reserve them and put our details in it cancels them or says that there is a fault

THREAD My takeaways from the epic Milano Sanremo day 🤯 1. I don’t think people understand what Tadej did yesterday. I saw people saying comments that of course Pogi has won, he is the strongest etc. But what Tadej did yesterday was, for me, one of his biggest performances of his career, if not the biggest. He crashed at a really high speed and was losing in the peloton going full speed for more than 30 seconds. Even the Hungarian commentators said Pogi might be an alien, but this is too much for him to win from this situation. And he got back. He was overtaking the peloton on Cipressa like they were juniors and got to the front with McNulty. And attacked and attacked and broke the Cipressa record. INTO THE HEADWIND. Then dropped MVDP on his best terrain, on 4% short climb, again attacked like 3 times, started then dropping the best descender in the Poggio descent, and beat him in the sprint. Wounded, bruised he still did it. Absolutely insane. 📷: mr. pinko

Bayes’ theorem is probably the single most important thing any rational person can learn. So many of our debates and disagreements that we shout about are because we don’t understand Bayes’ theorem or how human rationality often works. Bayes’ theorem is named after the 18th-century Thomas Bayes, and essentially it’s a formula that asks: when you are presented with all of the evidence for something, how much should you believe it? Bayes’ theorem teaches us that our beliefs are not fixed; they are probabilities. Our beliefs change as we weigh new evidence against our assumptions, or our priors. In other words, we all carry certain ideas about how the world works, and new evidence can challenge them. For example, somebody might believe that smoking is safe, that stress causes mouth ulcers, or that human activity is unrelated to climate change. These are their priors, their starting points. They can be formed by our culture, our biases, or even incomplete information. Now imagine a new study comes along that challenges one of your priors. A single study might not carry enough weight to overturn your existing beliefs. But as studies accumulate, eventually the scales may tip. At some point, your prior will become less and less plausible. Bayes’ theorem argues that being rational is not about black and white. It’s not even about true or false. It’s about what is most reasonable based on the best available evidence. But for this to work, we need to be presented with as much high-quality data as possible. Without evidence—without belief-forming data—we are left only with our priors and biases. And those aren’t all that rational.

Whatever you choose to do, be world-class at it.

Meet John Sims, the iconic fan that travels between England and Brazil to watch Birmingham & Santos every week. A few days ago he made the 41 hour trip to watch Santos lose 4-2 to Chapecoense. Incredible dedication👏

Sir Laurence Olivier narrated 'The World at War,' a 26-episode British television documentary series chronicling the events of the Second World War. It was produced by Thames Television.

The Traitors is filmed in a castle built with stolen imperial wealth, surrounded by grounds cleared of nature to make space for extractive capitalism. Instead of actual Highland culture, the show exhibits an imagined landscape of Scotland as exciting and wild, writes

“If a school might allow working-class children to outperform expectations, it must be stopped in case it embarrasses the system.” 👇Well worth a read about Labour’s levelling down agenda and its motivations.

The scrapping of an Eton-backed free sixth form in Middlesbrough tells us more about Labour than any manifesto ever could. A project designed to educate the brightest children from one of the poorest parts of the country was not stopped because it failed, cost too much, or lacked

Dear Sir @Keir_Starmer, In your BBC interview with @bbclaurak you blamed high UK energy costs on the Ukraine war. Yet EU countries were equally affected and still enjoy lower electricity prices. The real causes are well known: the premature closure of coal power left the UK over-exposed to gas; green levies now make up around 30% of bills; and our 2030 net-zero targets are far more aggressive than the EU’s. Claims that renewables will cut costs ignore the need for full back-up generation when wind and solar fail. The capital, operating and replacement costs of that back-up - potentially hundreds of billions of pounds - are routinely excluded from comparisons. Wind capacity factors have been revised sharply downwards, implying a major shortfall in planned generation and tens of billions per year in additional cost. More subsidies will not fix this and risk driving UK industry offshore. These facts need to be acknowledged honestly. Roger J Arthur, CEng, MIEE, MIET
