@THSTOfficial It's happening fat too often. Look at our run of fixtures. No 3pm Saturday premier league fixtures for a while yet. The media have far too much influence over it all.
The decision to move the Spurs v Liverpool Carabao Cup game shows a complete lack of respect for supporters. Fans have already spent significant sums on travel and accommodation.
Football authorities need to do better. Fans are not an afterthought — they are the game.
🚨BREAKING: Angela Rayner has DELETED her now INFAMOUS video where she lied about Reform UK policies to schoolchildren
It would appear she may have BROKEN THE LAW by doing this
Not according to the energy CEOs who testified before the DESNZ Select Committee last autumn...
Rachel Fletcher, Director of Regulation and Economics at Octopus Energy:
“…if we continue on the path that we are on right now, in all likelihood electricity prices for a typical customer are going to be 20% higher in four or five years’ time than they are now. That is even if wholesale prices halve…The point is that the country as a whole at the moment is paying over £20 billion a year on its electricity bills for policy costs. The projections are that that is going to increase. That is one of the hundred pounds that will possibly be added to electricity bills on the current trajectory over the next four years. It is time that we got this burden under control,”
Simone Rossi, CEO at EDF UK:
“We can compare the cost to serve in France and the cost to serve in the UK. Per point of delivery, the cost to serve in the UK is about £100 per annum. In France, it is €45, which is half, more or less. It is actually less than half. This is not to do with the wholesale price or the gas marginal cost et cetera. It is driven by the fact that we have very complex regulation that has become stratified over the years….
we have in front of us a system where, even if the wholesale price were to halve, as she indicated, the bills will rise. There are two main drivers that we have in front of us in the growth of the bills. One is the demand reduction. We are building infrastructure as if there was more demand, but, in reality, there is less and less demand, so you have a bigger burden on smaller shoulders…”
Chris Norbury, CEO at E.On UK:
“if I look at the non-commodity costs—policy costs and network costs—certainly some of the modelling that we have suggests that you could get to a position by 2030 where, if the wholesale price was zero, bills would still be the same as they are today because of the increase in those non-commodity costs,”
Chris O’Shea, CEO at Centrica:
“When you look at what consumers pay, consumers do not actually pay the wholesale gas price for anything backed by a CfD. When people talk about getting the wholesale gas price down, that is quite a red herring. Consumers pay what the CfD price is. If the wholesale electricity price goes to a pound, the CfD will simply make that back up to the £75 per megawatt-hour or so that wind farms are getting at the moment,”

Jarred Gillet should never be allowed to referee us again, alongside Pawson on VAR pathetic excuses. They don't even try to hide how corrupt they all are!
This is why they 🔊 switch off ❌️ the VAR audio for the audience. This review was such an incompetent clusterfuck. The conclusion was to award West Ham a goal kick.
Take the breaks where you can, but the Mateus Fernandez incident in Hammers v Everton was about as clear-cut a case of ‘ deliberate handball’ as you are likely to see. Definitely moves hand to ball to flick it away. Not natural position or action. Penalty. Staggered not given
