Outside Wembley now… @LukeShaw23….
Perhaps underrated by Mourinho, but actually dynamite 🧨
Sweet caroline…
Pretty chaotic outside stadium… they stopped activating tickets at outer barrier because of those rushing security checks, which means they don’t work at gate…and you have to go back to outer gate. but also some enterprising people trying to get in with screenshots of tickets!!
Let’s hope Harry’s been doing some weight training for lifting this later… Image
Wasn’t to be - congrats to a brilliant Italian team - our almost as brilliant three lions have made us proud and will come again… 👏🏾
And Saka, Rashford and Sancho are English heroes, who will bring home some serious silverware in the years to come…
last team to lose a final of the European Championships, also played at home, also having blooded some special young players.

… then went on to win the next World Cup.

Inflation rate up again a bit, a little further above 2% target, driven by, for example, used car sales prices up 4.4% in June alone, which we covered last month.

Base effects, eg comparisons with pandemic price falls a year ago, driving a lot of this…
used car price surge is also a result of pandemic, eventually. Demand has shot up, because new car production slowed at a time when demand rebounded, forcing people to buy second hand. microchip production was diverted away from new cars to electronics last year during pandemic
Heading for peak of about 3% in coming months, above target, but not as high as after recent crises or as seen now in US.

would trigger a letter of explanation from the Governor to Chancellor, which would say, “these are mainly bottlenecks and arithmetic effects of reopening”

Significant new investment in sector v dependent on EU exports - timed to deal with rules of origin issue that was subject of very last negotiations between PM & VDL. Basically the batteries will need to be British for the car to be exported tariff free bbc.co.uk/news/business-…
Strongest commitment yet from Nissan that “generation after generation” of workers in Sunderland will be employed, after this investment…
The questions - how much is the subsidy… as this is around one tenth of battery capacity required to maintain the current size of car industry, will everyone else get same subsidy… and what might happen if in a spat with EU over something else, tariffs were applied…
