At some point, perhaps, the fascination will fade, but more than 11 years since Sir Alex Ferguson left, the soap opera remains as compelling as ever.

https://stevengalvin.photography/Marlow 0, Biggleswade Town 1Marlow conceded on the stroke of half-time and look to have lost striker Dave Tarpey to a long-term injury problem, as they bowed out of the FA Trophy at home to Biggleswade Town on Saturday. “I thought we were alright today,” Bartley told Marlow club media at the end. But that was the only blemish of the first half because I thought we played ok.“Second half was all us. It’s probably the most positive performance we’ve had so far this season in terms of our output. Dawid is obviously gone and now it looks like we’ll lose Tarpey from that front end.

Robert Jenrick has accused David Lammy of handing over the Chagos Islands so he can “feel good about himself at his next north London dinner party.”In a debate discussing the decision in Parliament, the Tory leadership contender said: “We’ve just handed sovereign British territory to a small island nation which is an ally of China - and we’re paying for the privilege. “All so that the foreign secretary can feel good about himself at his next North London dinner party. The Government said on Thursday that the strategically important Indian Ocean archipelago would be transferred to Mauritius, after being in British hands since 1814. Sir Keir Starmer immediately came under fire over the move, which was announced during parliamentary recess without MPs getting a say in the Commons. However it is understood that the handover will require an Act of Parliament, which will therefore need to be approved in the Commons.”
