Fabian Hurzeler's extraordinary Arsenal rant may follow them for the rest of the seasonSuch anger is something Arteta's men will have to get used to it. Against Brighton, Mosquera made his sixth league start after Saliba was left out of the squad because of a twisted ankle sustained against Chelsea last Sunday.

There is still a willingness among some member states, particularly France, to punish the UK for leaving the EU. But resignations and other developments in the Labour Party have presented Starmer with the opportunity to repair some of the damage from Brexit.

A voter shows her inked thumb after casting her ballot at a polling station in Kathmandu during Nepal's parliamentary election on Thursday. Nepal’s Gen Z electionSix months after a youth-led uprising toppled its government, Nepal votes today in an election that will test the political power of a generation impatient for change.

Or maybe it was Elon Musk, who looks to Europe and sees censorious, dystopian hell. In fact, Maga writ-large has made the question of speech on this continent its cause du jour.

And meanwhile, Stephen Yaxley Lennon (who goes by the man-of-the-people sobriquet Tommy Robinson) was hosted at the US state department and hailed as a “free-speech warrior”.

Revenue has identified €26.7m in taxes due from businesses which misclassified more than 6,600 employees as contractors before a Supreme Court ruling. Last September, Revenue announced a voluntary disclosure scheme for employers who, acting in good faith before the court ruling, wrongly classed employees as contractors. Cody cautions that the Karshan ruling does not just apply to delivery drivers, but is “relevant across all sectors”. The Karshan case clarified legal questions raised by the growth of the so-called gig economy, which treated workers including fast food delivery drivers as self-employed.
