@SkySportsGolf probably a good idea to get an actual rules official to comment instead of Radar "I saw him tramp down grass on the line of his backswing' then 'he did nothing wrong' Riley.

@LNER Thanks - but the 7.00 train was cancelled a fortnight ago too - has Arriva West Coast mgt arrived at LNER? It would be helpful for passenger planning.

@LNER if you are going to repeatedly cancel the 0700 train from Edinburgh to London, why do you not message the people before they have left home very early and book them an alternative seat. Why text them with a seat for a non service.

Let me tell you what just got reported, because you will not believe it until you see it laid out. The Trump administration cut a billion-dollar tungsten deal with Kazakhstan. Tungsten is the metal we need for missile warheads, fighter jets, and computer chips. Trump himself got on the phone to close it. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick worked it from the inside, sending letters, leaning on the Kazakh president, lining up as much as $1.6 billion in federal financing. Within weeks of those negotiations, investors tied to a firm partly owned by Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump took a 20% stake in an entity connected to the very same Kazakhstan project their father was negotiating. Around that same time, Cantor Fitzgerald, the firm run by Lutnick’s own sons, raised $210 million for a partner in the deal and pocketed the fees. The fathers set the policy. The sons cashed in. Six days after the Trump sons and their partners moved their money, Lutnick signed the final deal. The reporting found one or both families have financial ties to at least 14 companies working with the government on critical mining deals. The total federal funding flowing toward those companies tops $8.9 billion. This is your tax money. It is supposed to secure our supply chains and protect our troops, not pad the portfolios of the President’s children and the Commerce Secretary’s children. This is the most corrupt administration in American history. It is not close. We must keep digging, and keep asking the questions they do not want asked. Republicans in Congress are unwilling to lift a finger. Mike Johnson is running a protection racket. Either we will end the corruption, or the corruption will be the end of us. google.com/url?q=https://…

@BBCRadioScot is it a third of UK or a third of Scottish students that think degrees are not value for money? The English students pay fees, Scots students do not. Why do they think it isn't good value? If it is because they cannot get a job the FT published a

Breaking; 57 golfers on the verge of losing their livelihoods as LIV golf faces extinction. One of those poor unfortunate players interviewed while on his Gulfstream V said he’s not sure how he’ll manage to make ends meet and may have to off load his beach house in the Hamptons.
