@caughtoffside 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼well said Pep

[CaughtOffside @caughtoffside]

🚨 Pep Guardiola hits back at Jim Ratcliffe: "We treat immigrants or people that come from other countries like they are the ones causing problems for our country. It's a big problem because the fact I am Catalan and you are British? What influence did we have on where we were born?

"Everyone wants to have a better life, everyone wants to have a better future for themselves and their families. Sometimes the opportunities are where you are born and sometimes it is in the place where you go.

"The colour of your skin or the place where you were born don't make a difference.

"Most people run away from their countries for the problems that are in their country, not because they want to leave.

"The more we embrace other cultures, truly embrace it, then we will have a better society - I do not have any doubts about that."

The big reveal at Reform's latest press conference:

[The London Economic @LondonEconomic]

Can't help but feel those responsible for Brexit should not, for example, be riding high in the polls with a new party...

[ALASTAIR CAMPBELL @campbellclaret]

The BBC’s silly and unnecessary editing mistake does not change the FACT that Trump encouraged and inspired the violence that led to death and devastation on Jan 6 after he LOST the election. That should be made clear in all communications to his Mafia style lawyers and to the public. He has zero case and that should be communicated with absolute confidence, with the full and voluble backing of 🇬🇧government. And all those who are encouraging and exhorting a foreign felon leader to take down one of Britain’s greatest institutions should never have the gall to call themselves patriots again. Thank you for your attention to this matter

860 prisoners were released in error between 2010 and 2024, during the time the Conservatives were in office

The first and now second accidental release under Labour are causing more headlines than all 860 accidental releases under the Conservatives combined 🤷‍♂️

“I would gently point out to Nigel Farage that before we left the EU we had a returns agreement with every country in the EU. He told the country it would make no difference if we left. He was wrong about that. These are Farage boats in many senses coming across the channel” 👏

@sebastiansalek And what’s even more sly is that do all this corporate lobbying under a veil of championing the common working person.

This is a total mental collapse by Trump, who shows that at 80 years old, he can't travel as he goes off on a babbling, lie-filled rant about windmills and whales while meeting with the president of the European Commission.

[Harry Eccles @Heccles94]

This is Reform UK treasurer Nick Candy, appointed by Nigel Farrage.

Nick Candy boasted to a FT journalist in 2010 "I don't pay tax!" (From his home in Monaco)

He and his brother developed property in London through an offshore company to avoid tax.

Reform UK are Tax Dodgers

@BestForBritain This is a narrative they are seeding-fear based on ignorance. Then they can claim to be the solution - they will cleanse our streets of the monsters 👹
