Why does Reeves say she wants to increase investment in shares, so cutting cash ISA allowance, and then increase tax on dividends? Does she only want to increase investments in companies if invested through share ISAs. Weird.

How long before Starmer reshuffles Reeves out of No 11. Let the dust settle then off you go.

Unlike so many in his top order though, he eventually opted out of a suicidal drive. #Ashes 🏏
📢 While his teammates bunkered in their hotel rooms after a crushing Ashes loss, Mark Wood contemplated hiring a car and escaping Perth by driving across the country.
England bowler Mark Wood was so crushed by first Test loss, he considered driving from Perth to Brisbane

Forget the risk of nuclear conflagration, according to grandparental advice the biggest risk for a child growing up in the Seventies was running with scissors or using anything but the end of a wooden spoon to retrieve toast stuck in the toaster. Guess must have lost a lot of people to both post WW2

For a team that revels in hitting other teams off their bowling stride, England’s reaction to Head’s assault today was almost as worrying as their thick batting cricket #ashes

You hear Langer and Cook both talking about how you just don’t play the cover drive on this pitch then watch England’s top batters get out playing that shot over and over #ashes

England's two innings in Perth lasted a combined 405 balls - the fastest they've been bowled out twice in a Test match since 1904 😳

Archer’s speeds down - all looks easy for Australia. Might as well give the ball to Wood and pray he has the spell of a lifetime #ashes

Australia got to be favourites to win this. England threw away so many wickets and track looks slightly flatter. Serve England right.

If I was Crawley I’d be heading off to the changing room to join Khawaja’s yoga class or he might find himself back out there in 20 minutes #ashes

Golden arm Stokes. Remember Botham in his long decline rumbling up to the stumps and somehow persuading a top batsman to throw away their wicket #ashes
