There may be a few less zeros on the end of Ryan and Rob’s investment, but the general idea is pretty much identical. However, when the Hollywood legends took over Wrexham, the wider football world welcomed them with open arms, cheesy chants and autograph books. There is no way someone of his calibre would have joined a National League club if it didn’t come with celebrity owners. Since the takeover, Wrexham’s social media accounts have grown by a million followers, and their main shirt sponsors are now TikTok.

Beyond the immediate future − Lawrence Zammit

It could have given more resources to lower income earners while it could have taxed higher income earners. When times are good, one tends not to look much beyond the present, assuming that the good times will remain. And may the good times remain. However, we need to think about the possibility that times may not be so good in future. Nevertheless, we need to look beyond the immediate future.

War-torn Ukraine's leader gives historic address to US Congress

Ukraine's president thanked "every American family" in an emotional but defiant address to the US Congress Wednesday aimed at countering growing scepticism over US military aid as Kyiv's war with Russia drags into the new year. "On this special Christmastime, I want to thank you, all of you. 'Absolute victory'Discussing his visit Tuesday to the war's southeastern front line, Zelensky presented lawmakers with a Ukrainian battle flag signed by soldiers from the besieged city of Bakhmut. The Washington visit, which came some 300 days after Russian hitmen parachuted into Kyiv in a failed attempt to assassinate Zelensky, underlined Ukraine's near-total reliance on Washington for its defence. Earlier, Biden hosted Zelensky at the White House, telling his counterpart that Ukrainians "inspire the world."

Britain stuck on recession path despite growth rebound

Britain's economy remains on course for a long-lasting recession on fallout from the highest inflation in decades, analysts said on Monday, even if official data showed growth in October. GDP had dropped 0.6 per cent in September, in part owing to businesses closing for the funeral of Queen Elizabeth II. Despite the rebound, Britain's finance minister Jeremy Hunt spoke of "a tough road ahead". The UK government and Bank of England have each said they believe Britain is already in a recession that the BoE expects to last all next year. Rate hikesThe Bank of England is on Thursday expected to raise its main interest rate for a ninth meeting in a row.

Spielberg, Cruise, CameronUnlike the Oscars, the pinnacle of awards season on March 12, the Globes movie prizes are split between two categories: “drama” and “comedy or musical”.

Indeed, Academy voters will begin casting ballots for Oscar nominations on Thursday, just days after the Globes gala. While movie billboards and commercials boasting of Globes nominations have returned after last year’s notable absence, few nominees have publicly thanked the HFPA.

Is it time for an unlikely hero? – James Calvert

In one corner we have a resurgent, Rashford-powered Manchester United, fresh from their thrilling victory over Barcelona, who will be desperate to formally announce their rebirth by grabbing the first trophy of the Ten Hag era. In the other we have Newcastle United, a team so starved of trophies and success that most of their fans won’t know the proper meaning of either word. But no such fence sitting today – I think this one is going to be an absolute scorcher of a match. That the player’s automatic one-match ban happens to cover the final is deeply unfortunate for Newcastle and desperately sad for Pope. In fact, I am going for this on the prediction front: a high-scoring, hard-fought Manchester United victory.
