The state of Farage moaning about Andy Burnham not even being an MP at the last election and then calling for another general election. Half his MPs were elected as Conservatives at the last election. Plus he didn’t demand any of the defectors stand in a bi-election. He’s 🤢

Two thousand staff coming back in-house. Good for public servants and good for the tax-payer. And an important step towards delivering the biggest wave of public sector insourcing the government promised. We need this approach right across our public services 👍👏

Many of the people who keep our government running- cleaners, caterers, security staff, are outsourced workers. This has meant they can be overlooked and treated differently. This is not fair and we are ending it.

So: a further utterly NONSENSICAL aspect of the ruling against Everton by the independent commission is that they openly admit to relying heavily on evidence from David Baldwin to establish the link between £19.5m overspend and the 4 points extra Everton gained ahead of Burnley. 1. David Baldwin, and by the IC's OWN ADMISSION, had spent 6 years being associated with Burnley. 2. His testimony was treated as that of an 'expert' despite him admitting he was using his "lived experience". Seriously? 3. The gist of Baldwin's argument was that Everton's £19.5m overspend - which was cumulative over 3 years - could you be used entirely to support the extra 4 points Everton gained over and above Burnley in the one season, 21/22. This was without him using any mathematical, statistical or probabilistic modelling - just 'lived experience' 4. Remember, we already established that the IC thinks a PSR breach can occur at anytime, 365 days a year, during a 3 year cycle - and not at the point they are actually tested. This is 'dangerous & unworkable' as Everton put it in their statement & also highly likely why they were so angry. There is no way the rules were drafted to intend this. It also means if you were already in breach of PSR but sold hotels or your women's team to cure it, you are still in breach. Clearly a nonsense, because in several instances these "cures" have been allowed - *as long as it was done by the financial year end, when PSR was being tested*. This is a key pillar of Everton's defence - Burnley were relegated before Everton's year-end and so a PSR breach had not yet occured. 5. Baldwin's testimony is used to rebuff that; he infers that sporting advantage was gained already at the start of the season because Everton did not reduce their squad/sell players/adjust their PSR position. Not true. Everton submitted an initial PSR position showing compliance - they did not set out to breach.

We know the decision by St Helens Council to defund Pride is appalling and the comments by the council leader are even worse. But we shouldn’t be at all surprised. This is what Reform do. A Reform government would be a catastrophe for LGBTQ equality.

Henry Nowak's mother has said: "We are a family who have friends across faith and race, and so did Henry. We want his memory to help bring our society together." And there you have it.

You really fear that this country is going to have to go through an awful lot of pain before people see through Farage. Just like Trump, in the end he’ll hurt his ‘base’ but what damage will be done between now and then?

This is the lying propaganda of race war. It's quite clear now that, under pressure from Lowe and Musk, Farage has decided to abandon his old red lines and move to the far right.

This is what this scumbag said when Sarah Everard was kidnapped, raped and murdered by a WHITE police officer. Today, for the killing of Henry Novak by a Brown Sikh man, he calls the British public to "rage".

Number of people asking me to comment on the Henry Nowak case. His father said "We do not want his death to be used to create further division, hatred or tension". If you can't respect his wishes, you're scum. That's what I think.

@IJF856 @lesroberts77 @keith_giles Track EFC and LFC since 1970. We’ve had four trophy winning seasons since then. Period 1970 to around 1983 was a series of one bad decision after another.
