An @ipsosintheuk.bsky.social poll shared w/ PolHome at the weekend put Labour's lead over its closest rivals at 8% – the largest Labour lead they've found this Parliament Labour 32 Tories 24 Reform 20 Burnham's Labour is "resurgent" & "consolidating voters on the left" - @keiranpedley.bsky.social

Awful conditions with a game to match. Took us +80 plus minutes to wake up and could have won it. James Trafford motm 👏🏻 Clean sheet. Away point. Move on #lufc

A very good article by Barney Ronay in the Guardian,reflecting on scum and the game on Saturday.I particularly liked this: “By the end Leeds had more possession, more shots on target and just looked a happier, better structured entity than the travelling heritage exhibit at the other end” #lufc

Probably a fair enough result in the end - although they looked they looked happier with the point in the end. Much improved 2nd half, got on top and created enough chances to win. Bogle outstanding. #lufc

The shrieks of fury from Johnson, Badenoch, Farage and co speak volumes as the prime minister confronts the disaster they wrought ✏️ @jamesrball.com

I'm gobsmacked by ministers' failure to defend Burnham's claim about Russian interference in Brexit (and Tories' claim that he has no proof of it) when there were well-documented troll farms, funded by Russia, spewing out aggressive pro-Brexit attacks on social media at the time

Dirty #Chelsea..... the irony #lufc #Deloitte helped in falsifying documents to evade tax on #Abramovich’s wealth. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

I know he’s only 24 so maybe to be expected but that was a slightly concerning performance from Trafford today #lufc

Deserved much more out of that. The better side for the majority of the gane - ultimately undone by hundreds of millions off the bench. Trafford should have done better with the first. Such a huge improvement from the games with them last season but ultimately frustrating 😡 #lufc

I am angry tonight. Because tonight ICE shot a New Yorker. They shot a New Yorker while his five year old child was in the car. ICE makes this city less safe. We want them out. Now.

Impeach his ass 👇

This was from the BBC assessing Cymru’s international window (very much a mixed bag 😃) “Ethan Ampadu has gone up a level These four games were evidence of the new levels Ethan Ampadu has reached.” Masterclass of a DM performance vs Denmark they they should teach in schools. #lufc

So much winning...

A very decent performance from Cymru against a full strength Portugal - particularly 2nd half - considering the missing players and the only 5 of the starting 11 are regular starters for their clubs. Koumas was a standout and Da Silva was very good. Ben Davies rusty of course but a rock. #cymru

Lots of talk of growth ahead of the Budget, as if it were a baroque puzzle. Our problem is basic. It's that we no longer support the things which facilitate growth: Europe, immigration, higher education, tax simplification, policy stability. These are all choices and could stop making them anytime.

I did some sums the other day. Daniel Farke has spent around £240m on new players since he arrived at Leeds in the summer of 2023. But we've also recouped about £205m in player sales over the same period. So a net spend of around £35m. And we're currently 5th in the PL. Not bad going. #lufc

A nothing game - 2 teams cancelling each other out. Murhamovic outstanding - Amps excellent as usual and Tanaka and Okafor were good when they were on. But overall we were sloppy and lacked intensity. This is our next step, to find ways to win games like this. #lufc

Anyone remember that time when two fighting aged men living at those barracks ran amok and assaulted a member of the public.... why didn't Piddington declare independence then I wonder? www.oxfordmail.co.uk/news/2324828...

Up to 3rd. Super performance 👏🏻👏🏻The Saudi sportswashers couldn’t handle our physicality and intensity. Played some lovely football. Difficult to pick a MOTM but I’m going for Amps on his birthday. #lufc

nothing says “party of the ordinary workers” than taking a £36m donation from a crypto tycoon convicted in the US in 2022 for failings in an anti-money laundering programme before being pardoned by Donald Trump

‘Nigel, what first attracted you to a convicted money launderer’s £36 million?’

What sort of society are we living in that RNLI volunteers are being told not to wear their insignia in public in case they are confronted by ignorant scumbags 🤷‍♂️

Rodgers and Palmer are world class but that’s what £200m gets you. That said that’s the very definition of throwing away a game - stupid penalty to let Chelsea back in after a superb 2nd and complete dominance. Also Trafford stops at least 2 of those. Frustrating to say the least. #lufc

I’m thinking likely 6 changes tonight with Bard and Zetterer getting debuts and likely Longstaff, Bijol, Wilson and Nmecha starting. #lufc

A point away from home in the prem is always a good result but really disappointing that we didn’t go in at least 2 up after being much the better team in the first half. Elvedi Motm - outstanding. Ao and Gabbi not far behind. #lufc

As a very basic thing, we as citizens should not accept the presence of a private army of masked racist thugs on the streets of our towns... intimidating others and threatening to overthrow the state... There are some fairly obvious precedents for this stuff.

It’s not going well for Kinnear at Everton - the job done by our recruitment team this summer and last is stelae in comparison and even more impressive considering their lack of experience 👊 #lufc www.bbc.co.uk/sport/footba...

I like the quote from Andrews “We knew the storm was going to come” #lufc www.theguardian.com/football/202...

Much better 2nd half - credit to Farke for changing it - all the subs made a difference and could well have won it but will definitely take a point after that woeful first half. Brentford will take points off a lot of teams this season #lufc

So Lampard believes he’s a mix of Mourinho and Ancelotti as a Manager 🤣 Absolute fraud. #lufc

Comprehensive performance - 2 nil flattered them. DJ Motm - played really well.Super impressive debut from Elvedi - looks really calm. Great save from England’s #1 #lufc

Leeds United's Anton Stach has now scored four direct free-kick goals in the Premier League since the start of last season. Only Dominik Szoboszlai has scored as many as this in that period (also 4). (Opta)

Tight game - having a better keeper than they did meant a very welcome away 3 point season opener 👊manu losing away at Hull is just a very nice bonus 😅 Stach motm for his goal and all round performance. #lufc

Harry looks lost playing wide right for the Wendies this evening. Doing an impressive amount of tracking back though #lufc

Farage and Jenrick’s latest attack on a minority - aiming at autistic and disabled people - is grotesque. A pair of rich & privileged men attacking some of society's poorest and most marginalised people to divert attention from financial sleaze My @theipaper.com column inews.co.uk/opinion/fara...

There’s something deeply repellent about Reform’s vengeful and racist obsession to take money from the most vulnerable when they’re under multiple investigations for breaking rules, dodging tax and gorging on £millions for themselves. (And trashing our EU agreement is just so thick it hurts) iPaper

Reform voters aren't interested in the issues, they just want the people they hate to be miserable. Labour needs to stop trying to win their votes. They can't be reached.

Taking the piss out of all of us. Laughing in the face of democracy, decency and respect for our country. Utterly unfit for public office. A strutting, peach-trousered, profoundly arrogant disgrace of a human being. An insult to our country and everyone who ever fought for it.
