Local Councillor for Teddington Ward, @LBRUT. @TRLibDems 🔶 | Trustee of Hampton Wick Utd Charity | Sports Zombie in my spare time, likely to bite on politics.
Bad enough that match going supporters are having their experience ruined by broadcasters.
Free showpieces inspire future generations of fans & players alike. But @tntsports wants more for the shareholders.
All to squeeze out a few more £. Shameful.
Govt should legislate here.
The Champions League final will not be made free-to-air in the United Kingdom for the first in over 30 years.
TNT Sports, which is owned by Warner Bros Discovery, has the exclusive UK rights to screen the final between Paris Saint-Germain and Arsenal in Budapest on May 30, but they will place the fixture behind a paywall.
The cheapest option for fans wanting to watch the trio of European finals will be to sign up to HBO Max’s most basic subscription, costing £4.99 a month.

Very disappointed to finally get the answer to our request to legally challenge the closure of Twickenham’s Police Front Counter
The courts rejected our case
Of course if @SadiqKhan@MayorofLondon had kept his manifesto promise to keep it open things would have been different
EXCLUSIVE: Reform UK leader Nigel Farage bought a £1.4 million property in cash, shortly after receiving a £5m personal gift from billionaire donor Christopher Harborne, Sky News learns
https://t.co/MUv0IxqML8
Farage says his £5 million gift was a “reward” for Brexit.
The rest of us were rewarded with higher bills and years of chaos.
This grifter must not become prime minister.
The argument that FPTP delivers stable governments is surely now dead.
Massive majorities drawn from minority support will keep ending up this way.
It's time our electoral system caught up with our political reality.
We won every seat on Richmond upon Thames Council last week.
But that doesn’t mean we’ve changed our mind on electoral reform.
It’s time the Government stopped defending a broken system out of self-interest and backed proportional representation.
What a privilege it was to stop by Newcastle, where Liberal Democrats are now the largest party, turning the page on Labour’s failures and proving Reform can be beaten.
Another huge as yet undiscovered donation to Nigel Farage incoming 🚨
Zia Yusuf would make a godawful poker player
Can’t lie to save his life. Trying desperately to obfuscate the question as to whether more free gifts are yet to come out
#Newsnight
We have shown we can take on Nigel Farage and win.
Liberal Democrats are now the only party strong enough to stand up to the populist extremes and protect our country from chaos.
Lib Dems
'The Liberal Democrats are on course for an historic eighth consecutive year of local election gains. This follows a massive ground operation which saw activists knock on over 3 million doors across England, double the number reached during last year’s campaign.'
"Are there other multimillion pound gifts given to Nigel Farage in the 12 months before the election that we don't know about?"
@Mattchorley asks Reform UK's Zia Yusuf about Nigel Farage's £5m gift.
#Newsnight
Liberal Democrats are now the only party strong enough to stand up to the populist extremes and protect our country from chaos.
We will be the rallying point for all those who believe in building things up, not burning them down.
We will be the positive change millions of people are crying out for, fed up with Labour and the Conservatives but horrified by the rise of Reform.
Wow @ZiaYusufUK gets stuck like dodgy viny on @BBCNewsnight, as he utterly refuses to answer whether he has any knowledge of any other multi-million pound gifts given to Farage.
More smoke here. Real party of the people.
Who's else owns Farage and Reform Ltd?
Watch Munira Wilson(LibDem MP) school Matt Goodwin(Reform) on what councils can & can't do:
"You can't influence immigration running a council... these councils don't need a foreign policy, people want their potholes fixed.."
