Tranmere Rovers dismiss manager with 11 games remaining

Tranmere Rovers have sacked manager Andy Crosby after a run of 10 defeats in their last 11 League Two matches left the club 19th, though still eight points above the relegation zone with 11 games to play.

Redefining National Shipbuilding Capability to Strengthen Maritime Resilience

Redefining sovereign capability for maritime resilience means treating UK shipbuilding as a long-term national system, not just a series of individual naval contracts. With more than 150 government vessels projected over the next 30 years, the priority is building confidence and continuity so workers, apprentices, suppliers and regional yards can invest and retain skills. The argument calls for a broader definition that includes civil and naval fleets, workforce development, modern infrastructure, digital integration and stronger supply chains, supported by a multi-decade, multi-fleet work plan that rewards sustained improvement rather than short-term price competition.
