The Premier League is becoming the UK’s key cultural export. So why are its teams being sponsored by gambling firms that are not licensed to operate in the country?

Incredible longevity from Cilic: he’s beaten Jack Draper, Andy Murray and Tim Henman in his career. Surely no-one else can match that.

#WeRemember the six people who lost their lives at the Lakanal House fire, 16 years ago today. Today, 3,400 residential buildings over 11m in England alone still haven't completed unsafe cladding remediation. Removal of unsafe cladding across the UK must be prioritised.

Read this. It's remarkable. The UN is begging - literally begging - Israel to allow it to deliver to Gaza 160,000 pallets of food aid it has ready to go. Israel will not allow that. There is only one inescapable conclusion: Israel is deliberately starving Gaza to death.

Also a Test match over in less than 180 overs, or two full days of play.

Soccer’s global governing body is pushing to expand an already “crazy” schedule. Resentment and frustration is simmering across the globe—and the pot may boil over, @mikegjakeman writes.

This is exactly the wrong view. Salah is a wonderful player who has been very well rewarded throughout his career. You don’t give him a huge new deal based on what has done in the past.
