You really fear that this country is going to have to go through an awful lot of pain before people see through Farage. Just like Trump, in the end he’ll hurt his ‘base’ but what damage will be done between now and then?

[Paul Nowak @nowak_paul]

When someone shows you who they really are, take notice.

[Nick Cohen @NickCohen4]

This is the lying propaganda of race war. It's quite clear now that, under pressure from Lowe and Musk, Farage has decided to abandon his old red lines and move to the far right.

This is what this scumbag said when Sarah Everard was kidnapped, raped and murdered by a WHITE police officer.

Today, for the killing of Henry Novak by a Brown Sikh man, he calls the British public to "rage".

[(((Dan Hodges))) @DPJHodges]

Number of people asking me to comment on the Henry Nowak case. His father said "We do not want his death to be used to create further division, hatred or tension". If you can't respect his wishes, you're scum. That's what I think.

@IJF856 @lesroberts77 @keith_giles Track EFC and LFC since 1970. We’ve had four trophy winning seasons since then. Period 1970 to around 1983 was a series of one bad decision after another.

[Carl Roper @RoperCarl]

This is the #EFC legacy that Kenwright junked. And then decided to suffocate the club in a blanket of misty eyed, backward looking complacency.

[Carl Roper @RoperCarl]

@dvanmarle9 Hmm. I don’t know. It says a lot about some fans.

[Carl Roper @RoperCarl]

A massive and positive step forward for the whole culture around #EFC would be for club and fans alike to stop eulogising about the Leitch patterns from the Bullens Road stand. 🥴

[Carl Roper @RoperCarl]

This is a good read #EFC

[Read Everton @ReadEverton]

Have Everton got ‘The Fear’? Why relegation anxiety plagues the Blues #EFC

[Carl Roper @RoperCarl]

In microcosm - why LFC have won more league titles (20) than #EFC have had seasons in our history (just 14) where we’ve won a trophy. One club ruthlessly focussed on winning cups v the other ruthlessly focussed on…well it’s NOT winning cups.

[BBC Sport @BBCSport]

Head coach Arne Slot has been sacked by Liverpool after two seasons in charge.

[Carl Roper @RoperCarl]

@sorro79 @JezClein Isn’t most of the criticism based on how we’ve got on against other teams?

[Carl Roper @RoperCarl]

This is fantastic news. Everyday, in workplaces across the country, unions demonstrate their importance and relevance. Making life in and outside work better or at least more bearable. Some say we’re a relic. They couldn’t be more wrong.

BREAKING 🚨| The number of people in a union in the UK has GROWN by 192,000 - to 6.6 million.

There has never been a more important time to be a member of a union.

When unions do well, working people do well.

It pays to be in a union.

Having failed with “academic” Matt Godwin in Gorton & Denton Reform went for a “folksy” candidate. A plumber no less. But they forgot the bit about not picking an apparent anti vax, misogynist and homophobe.

🚨 NEW: Reform UK Makerfield candidate Robert Kenyon previously blamed Hillary Clinton for the 2017 Manchester Arena bombing

"With a smile and lipstick... she created ISIS with her foreign policy... had she stayed out of Libya, the bombing wouldn’t have happened"

@mark1_1878 And made us massively less attractive to players

[Carl Roper @RoperCarl]

The football world isn’t waiting round for #EFC to feel stable enough to start thinking about pushing on. The disastrous last 7 games has potential to be a serious set back.

[Carl Roper @RoperCarl]

@____cm85 Bit mad you see Crystal Palace win a trophy and immediately think of Everton.

[Carl Roper @RoperCarl]

@daviddownie17 More lazy, complacent sentiment.

[Carl Roper @RoperCarl]

Seeing Crystal Palace - who I’m happy for and hope win tonight - in a European Final reminds me that somewhere along the line #EFC completely lost sight of the purpose of football. To win trophies. Emphasis shifted to constant nostalgia. The false past became a comfort blanket.
