Manchester City supporters (and the people of Manchester) should be furious. Because the first people who have had the piss taken out of them is them. Even now the City statement takes the piss. You are meant to back this pile of bullshit, it says. You are meant to back it unquestionably.

The Sun is dying, help it on its way. Don't buy it, don't read it. Tell everyone you know to do the same. If they do buy it tell them its a load of lies, don't spread any rumors they create. Kill it.

King Charles inherited £650m tax free, gets £354m a year tax free from the tax payer including £132m personal spending money and has an estate worth £22bn that’s never taxed. Like if he needs a pay cut. RT if you want the Monarchy gone. #NotmyKing

Let’s be clear: Robert Jenrick’s record as Immigration Minister: - Record net migration was recorded while he served as Immigration Minister. - Small boat crossings continued despite repeated government pledges to stop them.

Then why is it when the price of oil goes up in he price of fuel goes up Immediately. On a product that was bought and refined at a lower price. THEN when the price falls the drag in time To reduce prices is not so immediate ? If that’s not price gouging I don’t know what is !

I'm old enough to remember when the entire British right had a month long meltdown about "foreign interference" when Obama said something mildly disobliging about Brexit. The Trump administration pouring millions of dollars into far right political groups in the UK? Not a peep

Ben Cullen, a leading figure of the "Raise the Colours" campaign, will stand trial for three separate charges regarding a total of 78 indecent images of children. I have only seen this covered in local newspapers, so far. Grim as it is, it needs wider coverage www.oxfordmail.co.uk/news/2624087...

The next PM could - and in my view should - properly stick it to Trump (as Meloni has just done); announce a plan to undo Brexit; put immigration to bed for at least one electoral cycle; take their government off Twitter; unequivocally condemn Netanyahu & resurrect Leveson 2… A boy can dream.

So, I've got some questions for Nigel Farage, about his £5m gift. Here's one: "You have previously stated that on police advice, you hold no parliamentary surgeries…Given that we now know you have a large private security budget, why are you unable to hold constituency surgeries?" Here's the rest:

The ‘best’ thing about these stories is the way the people involved never seem to reflect for a nanosecond on how absolutely shit things must be for everyone on a fraction of their income.

The deputy leader of Reform UK, Richard Tice, owns a property company - Quidnet REIT. From 2020 to 2022 it paid Tice and his trust £600k in dividends. Quidnet should have paid £120k of tax on those dividends. It didn't. A 🧵 with evidence from the company's own filings:

When Angela Rayner underpaid £40,000 stamp duty on her flat, Richard Tice said it was "morally completely indefensible” and she should immediately resign if she had “any moral decency”. Now we learn he personally made £91,000 in excess payments by failing to pay the tax his company legally owed

The Iranian regime is objectively hideous. It murders & incarcerates innocent people, threatens & attacks sovereign neighbours, routinely breaks international law, outlaws dissent & crushes free speech. Can you see the problem with *Donald Trump & Benjamin Netanyahu* leading the attack on them?

Reform UK are seeking to fob off blame for their illegal leaflet on a printer error. That won’t stand up with the police - responsibility for making sure the law is followed lies with the party commissioning and distributing the leaflets.

On the one hand, anything to distract from reports of his increasingly well-documented, lifelong racism. On the other, if he's told some donors this (& the FT will have sourced this properly) you can be sure that he'd've told others the polar opposite if he thought that's what they wanted to hear.

A penalty they’d never give to us, followed by a disallowed goal that they’d never disallow if Haaland had scored it. Good job English referees can never be questioned or else Newcastle United-supporting Michael Oliver & Manchester’s Chris Kavanagh might look a bit suspect.

Seems @Nigel_Farage is trying damage limitation on the Reform Russian Bribes scandal. He’s known Nathan Gill for 20 years, and claims he knew nothing. No one believes you, Nigel. Keep the story moving. Questions must be answered.

Ever since I finished Question Time, Reform have massively been on the attack. Including a rant from Richard Tice entirely designed to distract from Reform and Russia. Everyone should know about Nathan Gill, the bribes from Russia and the link to Reform.

If you have any pensioners in your life, it might be worth letting them know about this. It’s a scam email going around that directs to a fake government website. The real one doesn’t ask for personal information.
