The latest episode of everyone's favourite show: Things that Bobby Jenrick didn't do anything about when he was in government that are suddenly very important

[Henry Winter @henrywinter]

Anyone with any knowledge of English football history will know that it is ridiculous for Southampton’s chief executive, Phil Parsons, to claim that their expulsion from the Championship play-offs is a bigger punishment than the 30-point deduction imposed on Luton Town in 2008 which led to relegation and almost throttled the life out of the club. Absolutely no comparison and completely weakens Southampton’s attempted argument that being thrown out of the play-offs is “manifestly disproportionate to every previous sanction in the history of the English game”.

There is some good stuff in Parsons’ statement: accepting culpability for Spygate, apologising to those clubs they spied on and apologising to their fans “whose extraordinary loyalty and support this season deserved better from the club”. Well said. But… the rules changed since Leeds United’s “similar offence” in 2019, there is no right to the £200m (it’s not a fine), and to play the whataboutery game and make the comparison with the Hatters is, fittingly, mad. Southampton’s reputation is certainly damaged but at least their very existence is not at risk. #SaintsFC #LTFC

Priti Patel demands Starmer resign over 'security risks'. Same Patel sacked for secret Israel meetings, later lobbied for UK aid to Israeli military. And her party hid Andrew's Epstein files. This is a US‑driven hit because Starmer refused Iran war.

[Matthew Stadlen @MatthewStadlen]

Since the Brexit referendum 10 years ago, we’ve had six Prime Ministers (including Cameron). The sixth, Starmer, is wobbling. It’s been a decade of immense instability, and the idea that the chief architect of Brexit, Nigel Farage, would improve things is one of the most audacious claims in British politics.

Richard Tice told The Times in March last year, that he had “never met Nathan Gill”

Tice - "Please welcome to the stage, Nathan Gill."

I'm just relieved nobody is talking about how I said I bought a house in Clacton, then admitted it was in the name of my girlfriend, Laure Ferrari, even though she couldn't afford £885,000, which conveniently meant I avoided £44,000 in tax.
Please don't share.

🔥 Farage roasted again by 🇺🇸 Rep Jamie Raskin

“This is the guy that delivered Brexit to the UK. How he shows his face in public after that debacle is beyond …Isn’t that considered a disaster in the history of England?

I cannot imagine a society that produced some of the greatest writers, poets and musicians… falling for a free speech imposter and charlatan like that.”

Absolutely 💯

[Socialist Opera Singer @OperaSocialist]

Is Farage so spineless that he won't sack his Deputy Leader who dodged £600k in tax?

[Farrukh @implausibleblog]

Ed Miliband, "The price of gas is set on the international market, whether it comes from the north sea, or is imported"

"We're price taker and not a price maker"

"There is one lesson from this crisis, and only one lesson"

"We need homegrown clean power that we can control"

"We cannot keep being on this fossil fuel roller coaster"

Thank you for the clear explanation @Ed_Miliband - please do this every time the subject is raised and get the message across 👏

We don't want any of you tax dodgers coming over here as refugees from war torn countries

[Paul @LeftySeparatist]

I don’t want my tax being spent on facilitating the return of these extremists from Dubai to the UK. They clearly despise our culture and way of life and they should seek refuge in the first safe country they arrive in.

Am I doing this right?🤔

[SV *Champions of England* @SVCarbaholic]

There’s always a tweet

[Femi @Femi_sorry]

Nigel Farage:

"Young people earning minimum wage should be paid less."

"Young people earning £100k should be paid more"

If you think this man cares about working class young people, your brain is pudding.

[Don McGowan @donmcgowan]

It's now been five days since I broke the news that Nigel Farage is not declaring his income to Parliament.

The Observer ran a piece on Saturday saying the same thing.

Have any other single news broadcasters run with this? Nope.

Any news on the Russian spy at Reform? Nope.

[ALASTAIR CAMPBELL @campbellclaret]

Another day another news blackout from most of our media on the story of a Farage ally in European Parliament and leader of his party in Wales taking bribes from Russia to spout their lies and BS … Nathan Gill should be a household name by now. But the media that gave you phone hacking and helped give you Brexit are making sure he remains under the radar in case it demands their new pal Nigel …

[Parody Nigel Farage @Parody_PM]

@KemiBadenoch @Conservatives That's weird, I'm hearing story after story of how your party spent 14 years increasing child poverty, doubling homelessness, trebling national debt, wasting £8.7bn on dodgy PPE, raising taxes to a record high and filling our rivers with shit.

[BladeoftheSun @BladeoftheS]

Crazy that we hear about Train Drivers who get £60,000 a year for driving a train.

But we never hear about the boss of Tesco who gets £30,000 a day and doesn't even pay tax in the UK.

Or the £250m a day that the likes of Amazon, Vodafone, BP and Shell don't pay in tax.
