People around the world are uniting to say no to Trump. Yet Andy Burnham does the opposite by approving the Jackdaw gas field.

Please retweet

Strikes me that when the hacks all went to Reform conferences and declared it very professional and detoxified, either the UK’s largest grouping of pub uncles somehow maintained best behaviour for a whole weekend, or the UK’s finest political journalists just weren’t very observant

If you think it’s not possible that Abu Dhabi money has corrupted referees, then I have a monorail to sell your town.

Liverpool defending very well again but we don’t have enough good passers of the ball to look effective as an attacking force. Will continue to be an issue until we play Nyoni regularly and/or recruit.

Feel for any nice blokes out there called Tom Watson. Been a hell of a month for wankers giving you a bad name.

New working paper: the Norwegian wealth tax was a huge success. The "exodus" of wealthy people never happened (less than 100 individuals left). Tax revenue increased by 71.5%. No changes in business activity or investment. www.nber.org/papers/w35854

Breaking: Andy Burnham announces the end of 45 years of neoliberalism with a radical offering for the British people: 1. New Vending Machine Snacks 🔹Fruit leather 🔹Cut beans 🔹Christmas mints 2. New Activities 🔹Hall Passes 🔹Pineapple Bobbing 🔹A Playful Mirror Room

There is no version of reality in which these assclowns will ever permit any kind of left wing opposition to this or any government again, certainly not without endless ridiculous bullshit and shenanigans. And that is unconditional, it is not at all contingent on anything that any of us do or say.

According to Suella Braverman not one of these ENGLAND players are English. FUCK HER 🖕🖕🏾🖕🏿🖕🏽🖕🏼

Klopp's comments show he is the right leader for Germany at this time, before you even get to the football. This weekend's Morning Star column.

racists are usually also sexists

If this Everton v United match was any lower quality then Nigel Farage would be signing it up as a Reform candidate.

When people ask ‘why don’t you have any respect for the police?’. Yeah, it’s a real mystery.

A crowded Liverpool restaurant. Alexander Isak rises to go to the bathroom. As he walks through, he spots Thierno Barry at another table. Their eyes meet. Isak points. Barry pats his chest. It’s all on us to keep scouse football afloat.

While millions won’t get access to this treasure, the billionaire tech bros class get free VIP access. End Rip Off Britain. Send Palantir packing. www.theguardian.com/culture/2026...

Richard Hughes is going to sign Barcola and nobody else and is going to pat himself on the back for signing another big star as he walks off into the sunset leaving our squad weaker than at any point since about 2015.

And other find from @monkemma.bsky.social: Arday blogged all those marathons in real time. I can’t remember the dozens of journalists who told me there’s no evidence he ran them. Are any of you big enough — or good enough journalists — to correct your error?

So, it’s not a conspiracy, and you are not imagining it. The biggest and wealthiest tech leaders are genuine fascists. They are leading an active and intentional systematic attack on labor. And they have radicalized each other while sidelining or removing the remaining decent execs in the industry.

Jayden Danns just came on for LFC U21’s

Cody Gakpo is 27 with 4 years on his contract, over 50 PL and European goals among 120 club career goals. 24 international goals. Rarely injured and used to playing 3 games a week. With the prices relatively unproven players are going for this summer, he should be £100m.

@johnspacemuller.com got bored of failing to achieve a century so went the sabotage route. Can’t believe a centre mid duo of Chris Wood and Kieffer Moore resulted in zero points.

Forget about COVID for a second, the idea that we live in a country that is deferential to expertise is fucking mental. Barely any decision governments have made for decades have been evidence based.

Imagine UEFA's statement about FIFA's plans to sell off the World Cup, but replace all the references to FOOTBALL with WATER Can you now see the absurdity of water privatisation? Andy Burnham has called the FIFA president to go. But our water is still in private hands: vist.ly/5d5x8

The replies here demonstrate that the liberals/centrists are very very keen on having their wallet inspected again.

CW: rape US military bases in the UK are effectively acting as consequence-free rape centres. They should all be shut down. Why aren't the "protect our women and girls" crew storming these bases?

I really like Bradley Barcola and think he’s an excellent left sided forward who probably upgrades Gakpo. I have no idea why LFC seem to be making that a priority when we have glaring holes at right wing, centre back, right back and centre forward.

I actually think the trillionaire saying his AI tool will remake a movie without the Black and trans actors in it should be a bigger story because it’s a perfect example of why the ruling class wants AI to succeed: so they can remake reality without those they deem undesirable - every nazi’s dream.

This is absolutely shameful given all the money in English football. There's no way the English game can't spare fifty grand for the amputee team. www.theguardian.com/football/202...

Imagine having a place called "The House of Lords" full of people who are just put there on a whim by various governments for life and you can't ever vote them out or anything. Anas Sarwar is there with like Alan Sugar and Michelle Mone and Andrew Lloyd fucking Webber. Extremely undignified country.

More than 750,000 children in the US are currently facing deportation. 425,000 of them do not have legal representation.

This is absolutely disgraceful. Shame on the Labour government for doing this. And shame on all who continue to support them in their philistinism, bigotry, racism and pandering to the far right.

Donald Trump has no shame, but Folarin Balogun is a class act. He spoke to Belgian head coach, Rudi Garcia, after the match. Garcia said of Balogun "He came to talk to me. I really liked that. It is not his fault. He is not the one to blame. That's what I told him." H/T @resistrebelrevolt.net

Infantino isn’t fit to lead FIFA. 
And FIFA isn’t fit to govern football. Agree? Add your name to this mass complaint: rebootfifa.com/sign?source=...

Nothing demonstrates how childish a country the US is more than the fact that it celebrates its birthday every year.

FIFA are getting exactly what they wanted from the expanded tournament. More games, more easy games for the star players, more goals, more TV adverts, more money money money.

The architect of Labour’s cruel plans on settled status and persecution of free speech and protest stays in place. More of the same. Only the Greens can take on failing Labour in Greater Manchester. www.thetimes.com/uk/politics/...

It’s taken way too long but at last, someone in government has some moral fortitude.

Hardly a new point, I know, but these race riots are another example that, while Starmer is up in a froth about banning children from social media, the biggest danger is adults having their brains cooked by rage-baiting misinformation on Facebook and Twitter and being radicalised into violence.

If you are a football fan with any morals and aren’t boycotting this absolute shitshow then what are we even doing.

I’d hazard a guess that the people at a business event that invites war criminal Alastair Campbell to speak aren’t exactly representative of being ‘out and about’ in the real world. What percentage does he think would vote ‘stay’ if he went to the darts where thousands sing ‘Kier Starmers a wanker’?

If the suits at Liverpool want to start being taken seriously again as smart people then Richard Hughes needs to be in front of cameras and microphones explaining strategy on at least a semi-regular basis. They can’t leave the next head coach in the same position that Slot was put in.
