[ad_1] THE EU is demanding harsh punishments for any post-Brexit trade deal rule breaking, claiming the UK can no longer be trusted.

[ad_1] If you’d have told me six months ago that the first proper Xbox Series X game I’d ever play would be Yakuza: Like a Dragon, I’m not sure I’d have guessed it. But now that I’ve spent some time wandering the streets of Japan with my party members in this modern-day-set RPG, I’d also never have guessed how much fun I’d have with this delightfully bizarre, completely self-aware adventure. If, like me, this Xbox Series X launch title is your first Yakuza game, the good news is that Sega describes Like a Dragon as an entry point for newcomers;…

[ad_1] Liverpool and Manchester United’s controversial ‘Project Big Picture’ idea has reportedly been welcomed by League One and Two clubs in desperate need of financial assistance. The plan, launched on Sunday and supported by EFL chief Rick Parry, would immediately provide around £350million to be shared among struggling Football League clubs, the National League, the women’s game and grassroots football. While such initiatives are to be welcomed of course, this plan seems to come at the cost of the bigger clubs grabbing more power in the English game. Both the Carabao Cup and Community Shield would be axed as part…

[ad_1] Before you play games on your new Xbox Series X, reset your expectations. The value of the next-generation consoles is not in the graphics — at least not this year. The real benefits at launch will be the invisible but appreciable quality-of-life improvements. The upgrades aren’t so glamorous, but I suspect you’ll love them once you notice them. Over the past week, I had the opportunity to finally play next-gen video games on my Xbox Series X. I sunk hours into the arcade racing game Dirt 5 and the turn-based role-playing game Yakuza: Like a Dragon. Both of these…

Russell has been named in the 40-man party nine months after being turfed out of the Six Nations squad before a game had been played over an initial argument around drinking. That incident led to an ongoing rift between Russell and Townsend being aired in public, with Russell revealing all in an explosive newspaper interview. But Russell is now back after showing some majestic form for French giants Racing 92. The squad also includes three uncapped players in…

[ad_1] The boss of the UK’s largest dairy supplier has warned shoppers they will have to pay more for grocery essentials including butter and cheese if the UK leaves the EU without a deal in January. Ash Amirahmadi, who leads dairy giant Arla’s UK operations, also warned that timing of Brexit talks mean that many food suppliers could “struggle” to manage a no deal or late deal in the face of coronavirus disruption and Christmas demand.
