Tax the rich!

Elation. 🎞️

[Tim Bolton @TimBolton1981]

This season's narratives.

1. Liverpool will struggle under Slot.

2. Liverpool have started well but haven't played anyone good yet.

3. Liverpool were bound to start well because Klopp left a good squad.

4. If Liverpool win the league it's because City and Arsenal fell off.

[Dr Jenny Thatcher @JennyAThatcher]

Majority of cultural activities are now far beyond the financial means of a working-class family. Whether it be watching a premier league football team, going to the theatre, watching your favourite rock or pop star live – the average cost for a family is more then a month’s rent

[Jord @Jordtb95]

Is anything safe from the dirty mits of capitalism and exploitation anymore? Think I might just sack it all off and go live off the land in a commune or something. Seriously depressing.

[Kieran Maguire @KieranMaguire]

The dynamic pricing train is a coming down the track and it’s not a good one

[Jord @Jordtb95]

The middle classes are not the ones with the broadest shoulders but will be squeezed for every penny before this liar even thinks about making those who got us in this mess pay! Tax. The. Rich.

[BBC Politics @BBCPolitics]

“We have no other choice, given the situation that we’re in”

Keir Starmer says October’s Budget “is going to be painful” and "those with the broadest shoulders should bear the heavier burden"

This is a map of how stupid they think you are when they say they're targeting Hamas and killing everyone by accident.

[Grace Blakeley @graceblakeley]

Lots of people suddenly finding it very easy to separate the actions of a group of violent extremists from the ideology and behaviour of an entire ethnic group.

[Jord @Jordtb95]

Hoping at least a couple of them might consider joining the Green party. Would be mutually beneficial.

[George Aylett @GeorgeAylett]

Let’s face it, the Labour whip will not be restored to John McDonnell, Rebecca Long-Bailey, Richard Burgon or Zarah Sultana.

Keir Starmer has only ever seen them as a thorn in the side, and now he has a (disgusting) excuse to remove them.

Join Jeremy Corbyn as independent MPs.

[Biggies Malls 2.0 @Biggies_MaIIs]

Also Gary Neville “It’s illegal that we don’t have Trent Alexander-Arnold on the pitch.”

Spends 5 years creating/leading an agenda against him then complains that he isn’t in the team.

[Jord @Jordtb95]

Whether anything changes under Labour can be tomorrow's concern.

What I would say is for those not familar, Labour will be getting a huge majority with a lower share of the vote than Corbyn achieved in 2017. Please take some time to try understand the need for electoral reform.

[Jord @Jordtb95]

Tories have been in government for nearly half of my life and have destroyed every public service in that time in the interest of making themselves and their mates very rich!!

Boy does it feel good to be rid of them!!

Not only the best manager but the absolute best person. Love him to bits.

🎶 Klopp chanting for Arne Slot 🔴

"It’s difficult to say farewell, but let’s remember the good times…" ❤️🥹

[Jord @Jordtb95]

There is potentially a scenario that plays out where we get Amorim and then Pep Lijnders replaces him in the Sporting Lisbon job. Given he's previously worked in Portugal and is fluent in Portuguese I think there's a good chance his next job will be there.

[This Is Anfield @thisisanfield]

🇵🇹🤔 If Xabi Alonso turns it down, it sounds like it'll be this man.

Liverpool have identified “main contender” for manager job next to Xabi Alonso

Experiencing two recessions and a pandemic all under 30 has been insane

[Michael Reid @michael_reid11]

From March 2019 to February 2020, Liverpool had a run of 35 wins in 36 Premier League games (D1).

In English top-flight history, the closest any other side has come to that over a run of 36 games is 31 wins.

Klopp did that.

@Jordtb95 we're in here somewhere biggun

[Jord @Jordtb95]

@DMcGin75 Probably best off drinking at Salford Quays then walking over or drinking in town and getting tram there. All just Man United pubs round by VW.
