🚨🇸🇪 Liverpool have opened official talks with Newcastle for Alexander Isak as opening bid has been sent.
Newcastle rejected as @TheAthleticFC reports… but player made clear his desire to join Liverpool. No talks over new deal so far.
#LFC plan to bid again and insist soon.
Lfc moving crazy atm we are a mess. I do seem to remember Liverpool having a Saudi specific clause in selling Diaz to Bayern, could be part of a bigger play from Hughes👍🏻
🔵 Al Hilal continue to explore the market for attacking players. In the Luis Díaz case, Richard Hughes is leading the negotiations. The Saudi club is ready to convince the Colombian’s camp with a salary worth around €25M net per season.
👀 It’s important to clarify that Al Hilal are not in talks with Bayern Munich and will not enter negotiations until they reach an agreement with the player first.
🇸🇦 The Saudi club has an overall transfer budget of $350M this summer and is prepared to offer between $120M and $150M to sign Díaz if the Colombian gives the green light.
⏳ Wait & See… #mercato #FCBayern #SPL
Restore Britain’s five step plan to end the welfare scam.
Number one.
No benefits for foreigners. Saves billions and billions every year. If a Somalian family is living on benefits in social housing funded by the British taxpayer, I wish them well. In Somalia. No discussion needed. Huge savings to be had.
Second.
The ballooning welfare bill is not solely down to foreign nationals, far from it. There are a huge number of British people taking the mick. The system is there for the taking, and they are doing exactly that. Claiming some disability or another, when there is evidently nothing wrong.
Face-to-face assessments are vital, regular and vigorous.
- Dedicated welfare fraud investigation units.
- Proper data-sharing between HMRC, DWP and local authorities.
- Automatic recovery of fraudulent claims from future earnings.
And actually through doing this, we can give proper support to those British men and women who genuinely need it. A fair, robust and compassionate approach.
Third.
A life on benefits for a healthy individual is NOT acceptable. If you can work, you must work. A few months to find a desired job is reasonable, but after that - if you want your benefit money, you will be put to work.
That is Restore Britain’s position.
Litter picking, street cleaning, gardening, scraping chewing gum off the pavement. Whatever. If it needs doing and you want the money, you’re doing it.
Random drug tests for those on benefits - if you’re getting high, the benefits stop.
Tough love.
Next.
Reintroduce the two child cap. Hardworking British parents shouldn’t have to subsidise indolence.
If you want more children, get a job.
Finally.
Tax cuts.
Raise the thresholds. Make it so that going back to work is financially rewarding. Obviously. Reward hard work, and people will do more of it. If people feel like going into work is actually worth it, they will do it. It must never pay to sit on benefits.
More training, more apprenticeships. A skilled and active workforce. Contributing, not taking. That is what we need.
A Restore Britain Government will ensure no household receives more in out-of-work benefits than the equivalent working family earns after tax.
The welfare system should protect those who cannot work, support those who fall on hard times, and help people back into employment as quickly as possible.
It should never be more attractive than work.
Restore Britain will reward contribution and ambition, not indolence and entitlement.
End the welfare scam, slash the bill, crush inflation.
