Loving this @BBCSport footage from Rosario of the young Messi and his vida Argentina.

Love both these teams, and what a spectacle to come, but I’m a long time fan of the Argentina magic so… #VamosArgentina #ArgentinaVsFrance.
Those anthems, these teams!

Here we go. #VamosArgentina
Gotta love this this roar coming from Buenos Aires with the goals. #ArgentinaVsFrance
Súper sorry to see Giroud come off though. Hoping to see France come back fighting in the next half, as the champions they are. #ArgentinaVsFrance
Dios mío! WHAT a finish!
And just like that. The final, now a cracker of a final, is back on! Bravo Les Bleus but…

#VamosArgentina
What a joy! Regalos de fútbol!

From one of the flattest finals in memory to one right on the edge.

What a final! #ArgentinaVsFrance
Just oh my god!! That was over the line!

Messiiiiii! #VamosArgentina
You could not have written the script for this final.

Endless. Plot. Twists.

Mbappe has Done IT!!! WOW!!!
Pure class, all round here.

But the Argentina boys are making it look like a Sunday stroll.
Campeones del mundo! Bravo Argentina!!! 🇦🇷Felicidades!!!

Et bravo #LesBleus! What a competition! Pure, pure class. Amazing Mbappe, that hat-trick!

Drama, Beauty, Thrills! The best world cup final ever!

Gracias Messi! El último baile!
Live from Buenos Aires!

The soundtrack of Los Campeones del Mundo!
#Argentina #WorldCupFinal
Just fabulous to see Macron out on the pitch consoling Mbappe and the French players.

Gorgeous to see Messi with his kids.

What an unforgettable joy this Final has been. 🇦🇷🇫🇷

And just like that, #GlobalBritain becomes the next Brexit catchphrase to bite the dust. This news that the UK formally is to downgrade its longstanding commitment to human rights for close diplomatic ties is a real blow. Soft power has always mattered. theguardian.com/politics/2022/…
Hoping for a strong and principled response from opposition parties on the govt’s reported foreign policy intention to drop the UK’s long-standing commitment to human rights for close diplomatic ties.

@DavidLammy @LaylaMoran @AlynSmith @CarolineLucas
Pragmatism has always been a bedrock of foreign policy. But my own experience of British diplomacy around the world has been that the values, language & culture of human rights often have been played an important role, even if not always as central as human rights advocates wish.

#IndyRef2 UK Supreme Court ruling now with unanimous judgment: Court has decided it does have power to decide reference from Lord Advocate. Consistent with rule of law & public interest.
Supreme Court does not uphold SNP arguments on the right to self-determination under international law. Finds it cannot meet the threshold of a colonised people or an oppressed people, following Canadian SC judgment on Quebec.
Proposed Bill *does* relate to reserved matters

Scot Parliament does not have right to legislate for a referendum on Scottish independence without agreement from Westminster.

Judgment here: supremecourt.uk/cases/docs/uks…

The speedy congratulations posted out by world leaders overnight is really testament to quite how frightening a Bolsonoro victory would have been, and they are a rare joy and optimism to behold, even with the hard work ahead for Brazil. Parabens @LulaOficial!
Leading the way with genuine warmth and elegant optimism is, as ever, President Macron, reflecting that Lula’s win opens a new page of history in Brazil.
Also with warm words and genuine optimism, the Spanish PM Pedro Sanchez focusing on Brazil taking a bet on progress and hope.

They are not EU laws but UK laws which we have because of our EU membership. The #REUL Bill will set fire to legal certainty & stability for individuals, business & growth. An arbitrary way to make law, allowing Ministers to replace or lose 2400+ laws, without Plmnt scrutiny.
All sorts of critical regulations are affected, including employment rights, environmental protections, food standards, consumer rights, animal protection etc.

Replacing decades of carefully crafted regulations which protect us requires careful consultation & scrutiny by Plmnt.
The Government's own REUL dashboard makes clear the scale of the task. DEFRA has 570 pieces of law alone.
Even if the sunset is delayed (as reportedly being considered), it doesn't diminish the resource required or the lack of democratic accountability.

Hoping lawyers, civil society & MPs examine carefully the #RetainedEULawBill. It will hand sweeping power to the executive over critical areas of people’s lives like workers rights, environmental & consumer protections, with alarming implications for legal certainty & stability.
If it feels like Groundhog Day, that’s because it is. But this is not an argument about Brexit.

We have left the EU. That doesn’t enable a free pass for any govt of the day to deregulate in an arbitrary way.

The risks of unintended consequences, at the very least, are high.
This is a really excellent @commonslibrary background briefing which I would urge people to read carefully.

Warning: It’s hot towel over head territory. It is dry & helps to consider substantive examples in workers rights or environmental protections . commonslibrary.parliament.uk/research-brief…

As Hong Kong marks 25 years since the handover from Britain, the rapid & undisguised transformation of Hong Kong just 2 years after the National Security Law was imposed sees the fears confirmed in this piece I wrote in 2020 for @prospect_uk. prospectmagazine.co.uk/magazine/why-h…
This is an excellent deep dive into how Hong Kong has been transformed by China into a landscape where journalists, lawyers, elected democrats, unions & civil society operate in a climate of fear or are silenced by the State in a harsh crackdown on rights and freedoms.
The pace of change has been sharp. Even as John Lee, former security chief is sworn in as Hong Kong’s new Chief Executive, the crackdown extends in all directions, even on labour rights. Whatever Xi Jinping claims about democracy in #HongKong today, the reality is undisguised.
