Minette Batters: "only 8% of UK farms were profitable over all of the last 5 years of the Farm Business Survey".
👀 *wonders why machinery stands are deserted.

It seems fitting that Peter Murrell is being sentenced on Amazon Prime Day

Perhaps the grimmest part of John Healey’s brutal resignation letter is that defence spending, projected to be 2.6% GDP by 2027, will only reach 2.68% in 2030. A pathetic 0.08% increase over three years after all that Starmer rhetoric about the dangerous times we live in and how UK would lead the way stepping up to the crease. A real leader would have told Reeves to cough up the dosh and ordered Miliband to hand over a big chunk of his net zero budget. But he’s probably too weak to do either.

I fear I have been too hard on Nicola Sturgeon for not seeing the camper van parked on her mother-in-law’s driveway. I now understand her husband hid it behind 108 loo rolls. Apologies.

קיימתי אתמול שיחות עם הנשיא עאון, עם ראש הממשלה סלאם ועם יושב ראש הפרלמנט ברי.
יש לנקוט כל צעד אפשרי כדי למנוע מלבנון לשקוע בכאוס.
על חיזבאללה להפסיק לאלתר את ההידרדרות המסוכנת שאליה הוא מוביל.
על ישראל לוותר על מתקפה רחבת היקף ולהפסיק את התקיפות המסיביות, בשעה שכבר מאות אלפי בני אדם נמלטו מן ההפצצות.
הממשלה בלבנון הביעה את נכונותה לקיים שיחות ישירות עם ישראל.
כל מרכיבי המדינה צריכים להיות מיוצגים בשיחות הללו.
על ישראל להיענות להזדמנות הזאת, לפתוח בדיונים ולהביא להפסקת אש, למצוא פתרון בר-קיימא ולאפשר לרשויות בלבנון לממש את התחייבויותיהן למען ריבונותה של לבנון.
צרפת מוכנה לסייע לקיום הדיונים הללו ולארח אותם בפריז.

Tadhg Beirne walking around the pitch with a baby in his hands after the match.
I think it’s his but there’s a very good chance he stole it from the Scots.

F/t Italy 18 Scotland 15. Just before kick off in an interview with the BBC Gregor Townsend said this was the best Scotland squad he had ever assembled. Then they go and lose to Italy. Over to you SRU.

Well 1,061 certainly didn’t stay ‘a little back’. That’s the number of non-American NATO troops who were killed in support of US actions in Afghanistan.
He really is ungracious, ignorant and uncaring on such matters. Especially unbecoming from someone who managed to avoid military service himself.
Trump on NATO: "I've always said, will they be there if we ever needed them? That's really the ultimate test. I'm not sure of that. We've never needed them. They'll say they sent some troops to Afghanistan and this or that. And they did. They stayed a little back, off the front lines."
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Other NATO members sent troops to Iraq and Afghanistan. For example the UK armed forces lost many hundreds of lives in these wars
