The UK is increasing the Pension age to 68.

Poland has lowered theirs to 60.

Their pension is higher as well.

You can have Universal Healthcare, Housing, Pensions, Good Wages, Holidays, Cheap food/energy/fuel...

Or you can have billionaires and trillionaires ripping you off.

Man City have spent close to 500 million on players in just the last 18 months and are now banging in 120 million bids on Premier League midfielders.

They are really taking the absolute piss out of the Premier League and these #115 charges.

On the same day Everton are punished again for financial breaches of rules in 2021.

You actually couldn't make it up🫢

Where is the ruling on City????

The Guardian: “Net migration down by three-quarters, the biggest fall in NHS waiting lists for 17 years, knife crime cut by 10%, the economy growing the fastest in the G7, rising wages, energy bills and petrol prices held down, the biggest sustained rise in defence spending since the cold war, a massive expansion of free childcare …
If Keir Starmer did tub-thumping lists of Labour’s achievements in the style of Gordon Brown, he would not actually have a shortage of things to talk about.”
During the two years of Labour government, following fourteen years of Tory mismanagement, there have actually been significant improvements in Britain. Why does the Tory media not report them?

3 Premier League titles stolen from us in the last 3 years. Spare me the fake outrage.

“Refs favour Arsenal” Shut the fuck up 😂

[@RB @ArsenalAndMe]

115 charges.

[ZO @RedCarpetViews]

So VAR made a mistake not awarding Everton a penalty which would’ve sealed the title for Arsenal, but instead we’ll talk and interview players in their homes because VAR made the correct decision for Arsenal.

We see you.

No outrage. No conspiracy theories. No endless debates.

Of course it’s not Arsenal..

Have just quickly scanned @BethRigby tweets from the last day or so.

Tweets about Starmer being under pressure / MPs calling for him to go: 53

Tweets about Nigel Farage not declaring a £5m ‘gift’ from foreign businessman: 1

How’s that for independent journalism?

[JP Omo @Pomilej]

🔴⚪ The nerve. The AUDACITY.

Sir, you are right. Referees have cost teams big moments. You are absolutely correct.

But since you want to open this conversation — let's open it properly.

You didn't say anything when Abdukhodir Khusanov fouled Kai Havertz clean through on goal. DOGSO. Red card AND penalty by the letter of the law. Mikel Arteta said it. Keith Hackett — an ex-referee — said it. The panel said City were fortunate. The referee said nothing.

You didn't say anything when Rodri should have walked against Tottenham. Second yellow. Gone. The KMI panel confirmed it after the game. He stayed on. City stayed in the game.

You didn't say anything when Rúben Dias should have been sent off against Nottingham Forest. Again — second yellow, confirmed by the independent panel. Again — he stayed on. Again — City benefited.

You didn't say anything when Matheus Nunes fouled Kevin Schade TWICE inside and around the box against Brentford. One of them denied a goalscoring chance. Nothing. Not a whistle.

You didn't say anything when Bernardo Silva hit a Brentford player. With his hand. Nothing.

You didn't say anything when Bernardo Silva grabbed Merlin Röhl's shirt in the box during a corner against Everton. Clear pull. Clear penalty. Nothing.

And Marc Guehi — professional last-man foul, no red card. Same player, same pattern. Different treatment.

Should I go on? Because I can go on.

How many times exactly? How many confirmed, panel-verified, ex-referee-backed decisions went in Man City's favour this season alone?

And THIS is the man talking about referees not doing their job?

👀 The biggest beneficiaries of a broken system, standing at a microphone, crying about a broken system.

Oh �� and while we're here. 115 charges. Financial Fair Play. The most serious allegations in English football history, still hanging over your club like a cloud that won't move.

Pep, with the greatest respect — you don't get to claim victimhood in a conversation about integrity. Not you. Not now. Not with that history and not with Manchester City of the last three season, most especially this season.

But thank you for speaking. Because the more you talk, the more I have receipts to pull out.

COYG. Always. 🔴⚪

[Hugh Anthony @TheHughAnthony]

People are trying to force Starmer out because the media is telling you he is the devil.

The other options around him are 10x worse.

Starmer has reduced net-migration by 70%, kept us out of the Iran war, effectively banned Porn, and is nationalising key industries.

Say what you want about him, he is a stronger leader than any of the Tories were in 14 years.

He should stay the course.

The only people who need to resign today are the political journalists and editors at @BBCNews and @SkyNews

I've never seen such a downright sinister plot to remove a democratically elected sitting PM.

Our media is absolutely fucking toxic.

[Chris S @chris_spencer04]

Fararge inherented Boris Johnson's sugar daddy, and then inherited half of Johnson's old cabinet. This seems like quite a coincidence. Who is really running the show?

Highlights of the Zack Polanski tax case:

- Dan Neidle admits boat tax is complicated and that not a single resident in the Marina got it right

- Upon being made aware Zack apologised and paid his tax

Can we move onto Farage now?

[Matthew Stadlen @MatthewStadlen]

If you depose a man who led you to a 174 seat majority less than two years ago, you’d better know what you’re doing, or Nigel Farage becomes Prime Minister.
