It is with profound sadness that we announce the death of Life President Ken Friar OBE. Since our formation in 1886, there have been many inspirational individuals who have driven our club forward, but no one has had an influence on Arsenal Football Club quite like ‘Mr Friar’ and he leaves an extraordinary life of service to the club as his legacy. One that will surely never be matched. Rest in peace ❤️

Arsenal against Petro-clubs. I was in Copenhagen for Galatasaray. In Paris for Barcelona ane not in Budapest for PSG. Proud of the club. Saw many fans as we travelled back home into London. Big Gabi and Eze have been huge this season. We’ll come back stronger! 🔴⚪️

As much as I wanted to be in Budapest for @Arsenal and the Champions League Final, I couldn’t. All my friends and crew are there. I had tickets,I’m missing it. Still, on train back home to London from West Country and packed with Gooners. Proud! 💪 #COYG

A thread about the @Arsenal parade on Sunday. I’ll be coming up from South London on the Overground and still debating if we get exit at Canonbury or Highbury & Islington. Sound advice.
I’ve just run the ENTIRE Arsenal trophy parade route so you don’t have to guess where the best spots are 😂🔴⚪️ And first things first - it’s definitely closer to 10km than 9km. strava.com/activities/186952… (#ukrunchat) The whole area is already buzzing. Genuinely one of the most joyful vibes I’ve ever experienced around the Emirates. A thread on parade tips 🧵

This is a full circle moment from the incredible @IanWright0, who started his own career at @CPFC Palace before moving to Highbury and @Arsenal! He is one of my heroes, and I say that living in his old neighbourhood here in SE London. #COYG #Arsenal
"I just had to be there!" 🤩 Ian Wright on what being Premier League champions means for Arsenal, and talks through his Tuesday night ❤️🏆

Well worth reading. Britain is not ungovernable, mission not impossible; but a succession of political leaders have fallen short in basic areas: (communication, setting priorities, a plan for government) in very challenging times (war, Covid, Brexit and legacy of financial crisis)
Once the model of stable government, Britain has had six PMs in the past 10 years — and is in the grip of yet another leadership crisis. Anthony Seldon asks what went wrong. Read The Weekend Essay in full here: ft.trib.al/ZskSLQk

What enraged Trump about China’s riposte was that it was targeted on Republican states. The EU is drawing up plans to hit Alabama, Kansas and Louisiana. He will hit back hard, This is trade war - and a recession follows. Convene a G20 ex the USA now.

Really important piece by Katie Martin who has fled this site. Investors are edging away from the dollar. If the EU could get its act together, now is the time to issue joint debt. There would be huge demand from investors desperate to diversify on.ft.com/4ikpbsC

Contrast tonight between bipartisan Britain on Ukraine and divided Washington, with Congress missing in action. Even the Tory press is behind Starmer - for now. Does Team Trump know how to repair damage or so they simply not care - for now

"Beijing assumes that Washington’s own policies will dismantle the foundations of U.S. global hegemony...China’s top priority, then, is simply to weather the storm," writes Senior Fellow Yun Sun in her latest op-ed @ForeignAffairs foreignaffairs.com/china/chi…

Things like 👇🏽 mean many in frontier science research think UK has one off once in lifetime oppo to attract frontier science research from Trump’s USA given top UK universities rep. But does Govt agree? Is it capable of moving/acting quickly enough? Is there the funding/ visas?
I’m leading 152 of my @HouseDemocrats colleagues to demand answers on Trump’s illegal cut to @NIH research funding. American innovation makes us the envy of the world — we can’t afford cuts to programs that cure disease, grow jobs, and sustain local economies.
