Lack of love for the shirt, lack of grit and the most important of all: football.

Represent is in the top 10 for the region and in the top 100 for the UK for growth in the last three years. Jim Armitage, the business editor of The Sunday Times, said: "Our politicians talk about how they'll achieve growth but it is the graft of entrepreneurs – such as those in this year's Sunday Times 100 – which achieves it. Adanola, a fashion firm which is based in Manchester, is the fastest growing in the North West with an increase of more than 200 per cent in sales in the last three years. Six Stories, another fashion firm which is based in Manchester, and 21D Clinical, a dental business which is based in Birchwood, Warrington, are the rest of the top three.

It always feels to me like the UCI isn’t so much trying to catch someone, as being seen to be trying to do it. On balance they’d probably be better off keeping stumm. Logically, if stuff like this were going on, it’d be very hard to keep secret. Just about the only way it could work would be for an individual rider to somehow modify their own bike secretly, or have a pet, tame mechanic who’d somehow do it for them and then hope that no-one else ever noticed. If it were a team thing, it would basically be an existential risk, with a worrying number of people knowing about it.

In the third episode of a new series of Anywhere but Westminster, John Harris and John Domokos travel around the West Midlands, and find a fascinating political mixture: hesitant Labour voters, a new crop of independents focused on Palestine and local cuts – and, amid deep social problems, lots of people who think the election hardly matters. Here, it seems, is the reality that all those opinion polls get nowhere near

Despite revealing that signing players is top of his to-do list, new Diss Rugby Club head coach Alex Kelsall said he has been impressed by the ‘determined’ nature of the existing squad as he looks to repay the club that ‘gave him so much’.

The summer transfer window is hotting up, despite a host of players still being in Germany for Euro 2024. Manchester United, Chelsea and Arsenal are all plotting rebuilds over the coming months, and they could be set to kickstart their spending sprees very shortly.

Ten minutes into this hotly anticipated debate, a high-wire act before tens of millions of Americans, President Biden got lost in the middle of one of his own winding sentences. His hair was not as luridly golden as it can be: it looked a little silver under the lights. His skin was orange, but not bright orange. Truth be told, he looked rather good in his usual boxy suit of navy blue and his bright red tie. The suntanned Donald Trump looked healthy compared with his rambling rival President Biden CELAL GUNES/ANADOLU/GETTY IMAGESAs he spoke about how fabulous things had been under his leadership, the split screen gave viewers Trump, his

President Biden’s re-election campaign was plunged into crisis after a faltering performance in the first TV debate with Donald Trump caused panic among Democrats about his chances of winning back the White House. Biden, 81, showed his age from the start of the showdown in Atlanta, Georgia, as he delivered meandering and muddled answers in a hoarse voice, in contrast to Trump’s more assured and disciplined messages on immigration and the economy. A snap poll by CNN, the host broadcaster, made Trump the winner of the debate by a two-to-one margin after a series of fumbles by Biden, including during an answer on the economy when he completely lost his train of thought. Speaking to reporters after the debate, Biden admitted to being sick, saying
