Elaine Loughlin: How do we navigate farcical Covid guidelines?
What's the difference between exercise and training and when does enjoying a spot of outdoor hospitality with friends turn into an organised event? This is not some sort of cryptic brain-tease with a clever answer, it's the type of information you now need to know to navigate the almost farcical Covid guidelines on social and sporting events. "Covid loves to party," was a phrase that came back to haunt Dara Calleary in the wake of the Golfgate scandal, but now it appears the virus skips some celebrations. But this does not include an event to be held in a dwelling, a wedding reception, a sporting event, or a training event. The guidelines also suggest that you could have an outdoor divorce party with 200 guests, just not a wedding.

Also, in the good moments they can bring you down a little bit, so you don't think you are the hero. 'So they stop you in the good moments, and lift you up during the bad ones.'

Harry Kane effectively rules himself OUT of Tottenham's Premier League opener against Man City
Harry Kane has effectively ruled himself out of Tottenham’s season opener against Manchester City — the team he wants to join — by spending another day outside the UK. Despite this, the fact Kane was still in Florida on Wednesday means he will not resume training until at least the start of next week. City expect their pursuit of Kane to go to the wire this month due to the different valuations placed on the striker. Their initial offer of £100million was rejected by Spurs, and there is uncertainty over whether the Premier League champions can strike a compromise with Daniel Levy. City have already raised around £50m from sales this summer, while Leroy Sane’s move to Bayern Munich for an initial £45m is accounted for this year.

VAT surge confirms pace of economic rebound after reopening
Tax revenues were well up on expectations in July as more of the economy moved towards a full reopening. But although July is a VAT due month, the tax take was still 17pc up on expectations, as consumers and businesses felt confident enough to spend more. The income tax take was €2.1bn, or 5.5pc above expectations, while corporation tax receipts were just €216m last month, although that was still 40.4pc above expectations. And corporate tax receipts are expected to start falling as of 2023 if and when a global deal on multinational taxes takes effect. The deficit is lower than previous months, and with borrowing rates still close to zero, the Government can easily fund its pandemic spending for the time being.
