Elliot Anderson has vowed to ignore the speculation surrounding his future, insisting he is solely focused on achieving success with Nottingham Forest and England. Anderson, 23, is likely to be one of the most sought-after players this summer following a superb season, with Man United, Man City and Arsenal all holding an interest in him. Despite only making his international debut last September, Anderson is also a shoo-in for Thomas Tuchel's squad for the World Cup this summer, and he is expected to start alongside Declan Rice in midfield. Speaking ahead of England's friendly with Japan on Tuesday night, he said: 'I've got the World Cup this summer so all my eyes are on that and playing for England. 'There’s plenty of time until the World Cup so I’ve got to keep my standards until then and make sure it happens.'

Farming is one of the few occupations where bad weather can give you the excuse to do feck all. Rain in the morning, rain in the evening, rain at supper time. After months of idle armchair chatter and sleeping loudly, you can't just pick up on farming where you left off. The first thing I would suggest is to climb on board the old tractor, turn the key and see if she is still willing to start. In the wise words of Oasis, 'You gotta roll with it, you gotta take your time.'

Midlands-North-West MEP Ciaran Mullooly has called on the Government to take immediate emergency action on fuel costs, similar to what has been done in France. He warned that Ireland is now facing a full-scale rural economic crisis as hauliers, contractors and farmers unite over soaring diesel prices. Mr Mullooly said frustration among contractors and hauliers is reaching breaking point, with many calling for potential road blockades, including at Dublin Airport and along the M50. They have already moved to suspend excise duties on green diesel and introduce targeted fuel supports for operators. “The EU is not the barrier here - political will is.” Mr Mullooly also highlighted a fundamental inequality in how different groups are treated despite facing the same costs.

However, Lineker has bashed Tuchel's decision to include White ahead of Alexander-Arnold as 'really insulting'. 'So I suspect there's something that Tuchel does not like about Trent Alexander-Arnold.

Following a further week of uncertainty in relation to the Middle East conflict, including hints of a ceasefire deal, markets have continued to grind lower, and oil prices move higher. While energy futures markets continue to price in a quick fall in oil prices on the back of a cessation in hostilities, the reality of the infrastructure damage in the Middle East is beginning to emerge. Nevertheless, futures market continues to price in oil falling to $84/barrel by the end of 2026 and $72 by the end of 2027. However, interest rate markets tell a very different story, with two-year swaps sharply higher since the beginning of the month, by around 80bps in euro rates and 100bps in UK rates. This indicates that interest rate futures are pricing in a very different inflation and central bank rate scenario to the one embedded in the oil and gas curves.
