So proud of my son Alec, who is walking 89km to every football ground in London today. Started at 3am at Bromley. Expects to finish about 9pm. Has so far raised £1k for @myelomauk.bsky.social www.justgiving.com/page/thefoot...

Probably the right decision but sad that it didn’t work out in the end. There were moments when things looked very promising - just not enough of them. #utb #boro

We’ve squandered so many points this season. If we’d hung on to leads in both games v Sheff Wed alone we’d be solidly in the play offs. So frustrating. #boro

The Chinese owners of British Steel say they are now considering shutting their blast furnaces and end steelmaking at Scunthorpe in early June - only a few months away.
It would mean an end of virgin steelmaking in the country that invented it during the industrial revolution

HUGE protest against Elon Musk & Tesla in Cherry Hill, New Jersey on Saturday.
For those who say protest doesn’t work, Tesla stock is plummeting, Tesla sales are crashing and many Tesla owners can’t offload their cars quick enough.
