Trump vs Musk: Who has more to lose? Why stakes are high for both!

The Met Office has issued a thunderstorm alert covering much of England and Wales, warning locals to brace for more than just heavy rain—expect lightning strikes, hailstones, and sudden, powerful wind gusts that could cause disruptions.

Editor’s Note: Storms like this aren’t just about getting caught in the rain—they can knock out power, damage property, or even pose safety risks. If you’re in the affected areas, it’s worth keeping an eye on updates and maybe rethinking any outdoor plans until things calm down.

Cricket legend Ricky Ponting is throwing his weight behind Shubman Gill as a future Test captain for India, calling it a smart move as the team phases out veterans like Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli. Ponting also thinks batting Gill at No.4 could take some pressure off him, with Yashasvi Jaiswal and Sai Sudharsan opening instead. He’s bullish on India’s young talent and even wants left-arm pacer Arshdeep Singh in the first Test against England, praising his fit with the Dukes ball.

Editor’s Note: Ponting’s endorsement isn’t just fluff—it’s a signal that India’s next-gen players are ready to step up. With Kohli and Rohit nearing the end of their careers, Gill’s potential as a leader and middle-order anchor could shape India’s Test future. And Ponting’s push for Arshdeep? That’s a spicy take, given England’s batting firepower. This isn’t just about one match; it’s about how India rebuilds for the long haul.

England manager Gareth Southgate has decided to rest Arsenal's rising star Bukayo Saka for the upcoming World Cup qualifier against minnows Andorra. The 20-year-old winger, who's been a regular for the Three Lions, gets a breather in what's expected to be a straightforward match.

Editor’s Note: While Saka's omission might raise eyebrows, it's likely just squad rotation against weaker opposition - a chance to test other players while protecting a key talent. For England fans, it signals Southgate's long-term thinking ahead of bigger challenges, but Arsenal supporters won't mind their young star getting some rest after a packed schedule.

Steve Clarke's time as Scotland manager is winding down, and while leading the team to World Cup qualification could cement his legacy, things aren't looking great after a rough loss to Iceland. The pressure's on to turn things around quickly—otherwise, his tenure might end on a sour note.

Editor’s Note: Scotland's World Cup hopes took a hit with this loss, and Clarke's future is suddenly under scrutiny. For fans, it’s a frustrating moment—qualifying would be huge, but right now, the team’s momentum is slipping. This isn’t just about one game; it’s about whether Scotland can rally when it counts.

The BJP's Amit Malviya has fired back at Rahul Gandhi after the Congress leader accused the ruling party of rigging the Maharashtra elections. Malviya called Gandhi's claims hypocritical, pointing out that the Congress didn’t raise alarms when they won in Telangana and Karnataka. He even suggested Gandhi was borrowing tactics from billionaire George Soros to erode faith in India’s democratic institutions.

Editor’s Note: This isn’t just another political spat—it’s part of a larger battle over trust in India’s electoral system. The BJP is framing Gandhi’s allegations as reckless and politically motivated, while Congress is likely doubling down on claims of unfair play. For voters, it raises questions: Are these legitimate concerns about democracy, or just mudslinging in a high-stakes election season? Either way, it’s heating up the political climate.
