Friday briefing: Liz Truss is out – so what happens next?

For Liz Truss, the end was brought about by a total systems collapse. Now the Conservative party, seeking to reassert its shredded reputation for ruthless competence, will try to find a new leader – or, very possibly, an old one - as quickly as it possibly can. Boris Johnson delivering his own resignation speech earlier this year. “If that happens I will immediately defect to the Labour party,” one MP says, with others believed to feel the same.

Taiwo Awoniyi strike stuns Liverpool and lifts Nottingham Forest off bottom

For Nottingham Forest, this was one of those spectacular occasions worth the long wait. Salah was muted in attack and Liverpool appeared disjointed in midfield, with Curtis Jones and Harvey Elliott overrun and overawed. Nottingham Forest’s Dean Henderson clambers down to stop a Virgil van Dijk header in injury time. This game could have taken a different shape had Van Dijk taken Liverpool’s best chance eight minutes before the break. But Liverpool struggled to contain Awoniyi and after Salah and Van Dijk were thwarted by Henderson’s late heroics, he was able to savour a special moment.

The US supreme court case that could bring the tech giants to their knees | John Naughton

Two weeks ago, the US supreme court decided that it would hear Gonzalez v Google, a landmark case that is giving certain social-media moguls sleepless nights for the very good reason that it could blow a large hole in their fabulously lucrative business models. If the supreme court were to decide that these engines did not enjoy section 230 protection, then social media firms would suddenly find the world a much colder place. Tech critics (such as this columnist) regard it as an enabler of corporate hypocrisy and irresponsibility. It’s high time that the supreme court decided the matter. Ways of seeingHow Photographers in the 1970s Redefined the Medium is a nice anniversary essay in Aperture by Geoff Dyer.

Klopp bemoans poor finishing after Liverpool slip up at Nottingham Forest

Klopp said it was often a case of “us against ourselves” after Virgil van Dijk and Mohamed Salah spurned chances from set pieces for a Liverpool team who remain without a Premier League away win this season. The Forest goalkeeper, Dean Henderson, superbly denied Van Dijk, who also squandered a golden chance to head Liverpool in front in the first half, in second-half stoppage time before thwarting Salah. How often does Virgil van Dijk put these [chances] in the back of the net? You can look back and think: ‘How did that happen?’ But it happened and that’s it.”Liverpool’s Virgil van Dijk powers a header at goal in stoppage time to no avail. The mentality has to work even harder because we’re still nowhere near where we want to be in the league.

Confusing messaging hampers our ability to prepare for rising floodwaters

Despite the best intentions of Emergency Victoria, the flood information flow is confusing and inconsistent. Why does the Vic emergency app – the supposed sacred source of truth – not reflect the information provided by local authorities? Echuca resident Kate Burke: ‘Emergency management fundamentals require one message delivered from one source.’ Photograph: Mike Bowers/The GuardianFinding the most credible data is proving difficult. But the imperative of updating all these different platforms means the best practice of one clear message is not happening. I have utmost faith in the catchment management authorities’ models and local knowledge of the systems.

England rout South Africa to seal World Cup quarter-final against Australia

England’s Red Roses steamrolled into the World Cup quarterfinals with a 13-try demolition of South Africa, claiming a 75-0 win that extends their unbeaten run to 28 games. Simon Middleton, the England coach, will have to make a difficult decision in the midfield ahead of their quarter-final clash with Australia next Sunday. South Africa kept coughing up penalties at the breakdown and were down to 14 when Catha Jacobs was carded for a dangerous tackle. Cleall, Galligan, Brown and Powell all scored from close range before the end of the half. England will face sterner tests, but their quest for World Cup glory remains on course.
