Undercover footage verified by Channel 4 News reveals a secret plot by senior Reform UK figures to break the law on party donations. A leading legal expert is now calling for a criminal investigation. 🔗 Read the exclusive story on Substack:

I rarely listen to Radio 2 but my wife's driving us to Wales so she gets to choose the radio. My feedback so far: Fuck me, the Black Eyed Peas are shite

Just wanted to take this opportunity to thank #Bose for bricking my Soundtouch 10. Cheers guys, you're the best (they are in fact not that)

Being in the ground yesterday,I didn't get to hear this at the time.Because the ball didn't hit the back of the net we didn't get that moment of elation and release that comes from a goal in these circumstances. But,I think a fitting conclusion to a season of last minute goals and fine margins #YCFC

How BBC Radio York covered York City's title-winning equaliser.

Very glad to see No. 10 coming out with a definite statement on Radcliffe's offensive interview. An improvement on their previous tactic of say nothing first then both sideism later

Downing Street weighing in on Jim Ratcliffe's comments about immigration. A Number 10 spokesperson said “Jim Ratcliffe should immediately apologise. His offensive remarks are wrong and play into the hands of those who want to divide our country.”

Given how Jim Ratcliffe organises his affairs, the average immigrant probably contributes more than him to the UK. So let’s strip him of his knighthood and give it to an immigrant.

Donald Trump threatens 10% tariffs on UK and Nigel Farage who has positioned himself as the president's best mate in Britain drops out of a much promoted interview on the BBC. Strange. Almost like the two things are connected.

On Boxing Day a National League football game had an attendance of 7,935 while Bournemouth managed only 11,240 today. If you can't get fans to turn up you shouldn't be in the Prem #ycfc

The natural follow up question being therefore "what are you going to do about it?"

"There is no doubt that the impact of Brexit has been severe and long-lasting", Rachel Reeves tells Sky News, as she suggests that taxes will now have to go up as a result to "make sure the numbers add up".

We flounced out of the EU on the say-so of politicians who lied to us. And what a total shitshow that’s turned out to be. The polar opposite of what they promised. Now the call to flounce out of the ECHR. By the same people. Telling the same lies. Has the country been kicked in the head by a horse?

One of the key roles of the Prime Minister is to speak for the nation at times of distress. Now it's the time to speak up for the country you want to stand for #KeirStarmer #FuckTheFascists

Asylum seekers will be returned to Afghanistan. I wonder who Farage has got lined up to negotiate a returns agreement with the Taliban?
