here. but there is one thing that again, i'm surprised no papers of mention. especially the guardian, for example. and colleagues in the conservative party may fundamentally disagree with me but if the government wants a quick return to better growth and a quick boost to the economy, the best thing you can probably do is get closer to the eu, to give up the hard line fighting that we are involved in at the moment, markets or respond positively and businesses would benefit if we started to be more aligned with europe and get rid of the extreme heartbreaks of frederick. that would make an

enormous difference. britain, we suffered notjust from the pandemic but notjust suffered notjust from the pandemic but not just from suffered notjust from the pandemic but notjust from what happened in russia but if we are honest, there is an element year of brexit is not the whole thing but it would really help to restore relations with the eu. ., ., ., ., eu. that would go down well with tory members- — eu. that would go down well with tory members. it's _ eu. that would go down well with tory members. it's the _ eu. that would go down well with tory members. it's the dog - eu. that would go down well with tory members. it's the dog that l tory members. it's the dog that didn't bark _ tory members. it's the dog that didn't bark and _ tory members. it's the dog that didn't bark and the _ tory members. it's the dog that didn't bark and the effect - tory members. it's the dog that didn't bark and the effect that i didn't bark and the effect that brexit— didn't bark and the effect that brexit his hand on the economy but jeremy— brexit his hand on the economy but jeremy hunt, talking about the ukraine — jeremy hunt, talking about the ukraine war, and the pandemic which clearly— ukraine war, and the pandemic which clearly had _ ukraine war, and the pandemic which clearly had a — ukraine war, and the pandemic which clearly had a huge impact on the economy— clearly had a huge impact on the economy but nope, no politicians conservative or labour right now are willing _ conservative or labour right now are willing to _ conservative or labour right now are willing to address the fact that brexit. — willing to address the fact that brexit, as has been said by many economists— brexit, as has been said by many economists and independent observers, brexit has had a negative impact _ observers, brexit has had a negative impact on _ observers, brexit has had a negative impact on the uk economy thus far.

think we've got such mature group of players how do as much to help us much as they possibly can. the football association's chief executive — mark bullingham— has denied gareth southgate excluded brentford striker ivan toney from the england squad due to betting charges. yesterday toney was charged with more than 200 alleged breaches of betting rules by the fa. the 26—year—old admitted last week that he was assisting the fa with its investigation into historic breaking of gambling rules. he has until november the 24th to provide a response. bullingham told our sports editor dan roan that they hadn't told southgate not to pick toney. it was absolutely available for the selection is not chosen on football grounds. to selection is not chosen on football rounds. ., ., ., , grounds. to have a problem with auamblin grounds. to have a problem with gambling cosmic is _ grounds. to have a problem with gambling cosmic is the _ grounds. to have a problem with gambling cosmic is the second i gambling cosmic is the second high—profile player to be charged as of this process, but do we have an issue with this? i of this process, but do we have an issue with this?— issue with this? i think the rules are there and _ issue with this? i think the rules are there and very _ issue with this? i think the rules are there and very clearly - issue with this? i think the rules are there and very clearly that i issue with this? i think the rules are there and very clearly that a | are there and very clearly that a small number of cases and will look to enforce the rules where they are

will relax its all white clothing rule to allow female players at wimbledon to wear dark—coloured undershorts from next year. it'll be relieving a "potential source of anxiety" for players on their period. britain's heather watson and former olympic champion monica puig previously spoke out the "mental stress" of having to wear white and the impact periods can have on performance. discussions took place with the wta, clothing manufacturers and medical teams. max verstappen says some of the reaction to the red bull team orders controversy, has been "unacceptable" and "disgusting", the world champion refused red bull's order to let his team—mate sergio perez through on the final lap of last weekend's sao paulo grand prix, to gain points in his fight for second in the championship. all the things that i have read are pretty disgusting. and also, even more than that, they started attacking my family, threatening my sister, my mum, my girlfriend, my dad. and for me, that goes way too

far. you don't even have the facts of what actually was going on and that definitely has to stop. if you have a problem with me, that's fine. do not go after my family because thatis do not go after my family because that is just unacceptable. and have a look at this. double tumbling success for great britain, at the trampoline gymnastics world championships in bulgaria. the women's team were the first to win gold — as megan kealy sealed victory with their final run — securing gold for shanice davidson, comfort yeates and jessica brain too. 17—year—old ramarni levena — holding his nerve to secure the title, alongsidejaydon paddock, that's all the sport for now. you can find more on all those stories on the bbc sport website. hello. we've seen plenty more heavy rain over the past 2a hours or so, still several flood warnings in force. we'll see more rain in the north and east during friday, particularly for eastern scotland,
