Before I moved to Aus I'd played 348 games of cricket (that had been recorded). I got out for less than 20, 153 times. I turned up, and did basically nothing, 153 times. Yet I wouldn't change it for the world. @cameronponsonby sums up why perfectly.
I've written a piece for @Nike, for their new Substack called In The Margins that is publishing new sports writing every other week. The piece is on why you and I play cricket. inthe-margins.com/p/to-fall-in-l…

New post just out: "The Great VAT Panic" The claims made by the right-wing press about VAT on private school fees were wildly wrong. Why? What are the lessons about about (how not to) run a lobbying campaign? And what can government learn? (£/free) open.substack.com/pub/samf/p/the…

As important a post as I've read for a while. I see so much time wasted on finding out "why" pupils are finding school hard and not enough spent on what we can tangibly do to help. So often the answer is teach really good lessons in a really good school. Thanks @bennewmark .
Ben is asking the hardest questions about SEND diagnoses. And does so with his characteristically heartfelt writing. Great piece. bennewmark.wordpress.com/2025/01/31/is-…
Elon Musk has had a lot to say about the grooming gangs scandal. We looked at 24 hours on Musk's X timeline and found a range of false and misleading information being amplified. Produced by Catherine Karelli, Shayan Sardarizadeh and Jake Horton. Graphics by Jacqueline Galvin.

This viral tweet and accompanying video is a textbook example of how racists distort and manipulate media to incite pile-ons. Their target seems to be a lovely young woman but she isn't white and that's all the excuse these racists need. Here's the truth behind the video: /1
I'm not sure if prestigious outlets like the FT & Economist realise the damage this does to their reputation. If you're so completely & totally wrong & uninformed about the thing I know something about, why should I trust you about tax policy or the future of tech?
There are more *important* things (I write words for a living) But the point remains - Save Our Cooling Towers, guys 🤓
There are more impotent things in the world But just a little mention of an historic day in Nottinghamshire - and a plea to save some iconic architecture that has symbolised “home” for many of us, all our lives. The cooling towers of Ratcliffe-on-soar. Soon to be blown up… /1
Oh this is a fun game. Debt: 70% of GDP vs 100% of GDP NHS waiting lists: 2.5 million vs 7.6 million Kids in temporary accomodation: 38k vs 150k Foodbanks: 35 vs 3000 (approx) Shall we keep going?
Keir Starmer says we gave him the ‘worst possible inheritance’ 🥴
Surely the Broad/King duo aren’t in such dire financial straits that here needs to be taking money from a betting company. Grim attempt to portray it as charity work. Lost a lot of respect.
Delighted to have teamed up with @Fitzdares 🤝 They’re an independent operator, build genuine personal relationships with their members & play the game the right way. They’ve given me a £500 free bet pot every month to raise cash for Motor Neurone Disease. Let me know if…
Honestly I’m not sure what Lemov could do to make it clearer that cold call (or call it what you want) isn’t a “gotcha”
