That prospect isn’t being completely discounted, although the initial indications aren’t entirely positive.Sources close to Palace claim the chances of Glasner staying are remote, that the perceived transfer inactivity over the summer was taken as a sign that he and the club are not aligned in terms of their ambitions.That’s not to say the Eagles will give up trying to convince him to continue.If Palace were to provide the former Eintracht Frankfurt coach with certain guarantees and control over transfer operations, that may be enough of an incentive for the Austrian to – at the very least – have discussions…

The Apprentice alumnus Thomas Skinner has shared a speech urging Brits to be “proud” of the flag through a late-night social media post on Wednesday evening. The 34-year-old Strictly Come Dancing participant shared footage from their previous Good Morning Britain appearance whilst training for the BBC programme, reigniting his feud with television personality Narinder Kaur.During his X platform message, Mr Skinner declared his affection for Britain and its citizens, stating: “I love this beautiful country and all you lovely people with all my heart.”He then appeared to target Kaur and those opposing the recent upsurge in flag displays directly, adding:…

Philly fans are not getting carried away just yet. Firstly because they are used to success having reached two of the past three Super Bowls, denying the Kansas City Chiefs a three-peat in February.The Eagles have also not been at their best on offence or defence, but each week they tend to have the fewest turnovers, and the team that wins that battle tends to win the game.”The Eagles have won 20 of their last 21 games, and a big reason for that is [they have had] 42 takeaways and only nine giveaways, so they play a conservative style of…
The Government’s new digital identity card will not be known as a “BritCard”, Downing Street has confirmed.The digital identity card – unveiled last week by Sir Keir Starmer – was immediately dubbed “the BritCard” as that was the name given to the scheme by Labour Together, the influential left-wing think tank close to No10, in the summer.The concept of a “BritCard” immediately led to pushback from politicians in devolved UK regions, notably Northern Ireland, where nationalists would have boycotted the scheme if it were known as a “BritCard”.In an interview with GB News’ Chopper’s Political Podcast, Scottish Labour leader Anas…
