“Somewhere along the way, Northampton stopped being the place where JJ played rugby and became the place we call home.” Lovely words from JJ van der Mescht’s wife, Carla, on Instagram today…

Huge moment today. Hard work over many years by a good few people to get this done. Amazing to give patients in Sussex access to the MTC by air with @airambulancekss. @GreenhalghRob @dbootland @BarbaraRayner1

President Trump’s comments about British Troops in Afghanistan are disgraceful. Comments like this are factually wrong, weaken NATO, and denigrate the memory of our brave soldiers who served there.

3 facts: 1. 457 UK troops were killed in Afghanistan, most in action 2. The US repeatedly did ask other NATO nations to send troops there, and 604 of them also died 3. When it was his turn, Donald Trump dodged the Vietnam draft all 5 times, with a diagnosis of 'bone spurs'
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 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Casualtie… en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_F…

The @scarlets_rugby supporters at Franklin’s Gardens yesterday were by some distance the best we’ve seen & heard all season. A reminder of how good an Anglo-Welsh league would be…

So.. Quotes have spread about something I apparently said on commentary about Akash Deep’s dismissal of Joe Root at Edgbaston. I wasn’t even at the match, as I was commentating at Wimbledon. If you’re an outlet who has written or repeated falsely attributed quotes, please remove.

The best player to watch. Fond memories of wishing a Northants opener would get out so that he came in!

Reading a lot about Henry Pollock. Plenty of jealousy coming out. Hope he just keeps learning, keeps improving, keeps being different. Don’t be disrespectful to the opposition and keep making people sit up & take notice of the game. Huge potential. Wish him luck #ignorehaters

I don’t agree that it’s self inflicted, he’s being him. He wasn’t angry at losing yesterday he was angry about being grabbed around the throat. He’s an unbelievable player who our kids want to emulate and he’s a great bloke destined for greatness. #HP
