Keir Starmer's Labour as chaotic as Tories, voters say
M inutes after Rishi Sunak stood in the pouring rain outside Downing Street in May last year and announced a general election, Sir Keir Starmer urged the public to vote Labour to 'stop the chaos'. Less than 14 months later, and a year after winning a landslide victory, the vast majority of the public (72 per cent) think his government is at least as chaotic as the previous Conservative one. This includes more than a third (37 per cent) who think it is more chaotic. The damning indictment for the administration, which was supposed to see 'no drama Starmer' put the grown-ups back in charge, caps off a terrible anniversary week for the prime minister. And things, according to an exclusive Sunday Times poll by the think tank More in Common, seem likely to get only worse.

How a Royal Statue Represented the Colonists' Changing Views
The French and Indian War of 1754 to 1763 had hardly ended before another war began on the American continent. In a fight over their geographic sovereignty, native tribes—including the Choctaw, Delaware, Ottawa, Seneca, and Shawnee—allied together against the British. This war, which began in 1763, was known as Pontiac's Rebellion, named after the Ottawa war chief. The war began in the Great Lakes and Ohio River Valley and extended as far west as the Illinois territory and as far east as western Virginia, continuing for two years and ending in a stalemate. A 19th-century engraving by Alfred Bobbett. In a famous council on April 27, 1763, Pontiac urged listeners rise up against the British. Public Domain

Surging Marlins storm back to beat Brewers
July 5 - Rookie Agustin Ramirez grounded a two-out, two-strike, two-run, tie-breaking single in the eighth inning, leading the host Miami Marlins to a 4-2 win on Saturday afternoon. The surprising Marlins -- who lost 100 contests last year -- have won 10 of their past 12 games. A win on Sunday would give Miami its fifth straight series win. Miami's bullpen on Saturday pitched 5 1/3 scoreless innings. That includes Lake Bachar, who earned his first major league save. It's ironic that it came against the Brewers because Bachar was once on a football scholarship at the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater. Marlins starter Cal Quantrill escaped with a no-decision despite lasting just 3 2/3 innings. He allowed six hits, one walk and two runs. Brewers starter Chad Patrick also got a no-decision as he allowed four hits, one walk and two runs in five innings. The win went to Ronny Henriquez (5-1). Nick Mears (1-3) took the loss Milwaukee opened the scoring in the second inning as Jackson Chourio singled and scored on Rhys Hoskins' stand-up triple. Marlins center fielder Dane Myers came in and dove to try to catch Hoskins' liner. But when Myers missed, the ball rolled all the way to the wall. It was just Hoskins' eighth career triple and his first since 2022. Miami surged ahead in the bottom of the second. Kyle Stowers homered, and Eric Wagaman and Liam Hicks followed with consecutive doubles. But Patrick got the next three batters to escape further damage. Chourio started another Brewers rally in the fourth as he doubled and scored on Isaac Collins' single. Milwaukee went on to load the bases later in that inning, but reliever Josh Simpson entered and retired Sal Frelick on a flyout. Miami, meanwhile, loaded the bases with no outs in the eighth as Myers and Javier Sanoja singled, and Xavier Edwards beat out a bunt hit. The next two batters -- Connor Norby (strikeout) and Otto Lopez (groundout) -- failed to get a run home. But then Ramirez came through against Jared Koenig. In Sunday's series finale, Milwaukee will start Brandon Woodruff, who is coming off shoulder surgery; against Miami's Edward Cabrera (3-2, 3.41 ERA). This will be Woodruff's first MLB appearance since Sept. 23, 2023. --Field Level Media
