Good to see @ICAEW ranked in the top 3 most accurate UK economic forecasters of 2025 in @dsmitheconomics@ST_Business annual review.

🗞'BOND THAT GOES BEYOND FOOTBALL' 🗞
Today's @LivEchonews front page as Arne Slot pens an open letter reflecting on his time at Anfield 🔴

I think/hope history will remember Arne Slot kindly. Ultimately think a clean slate this summer is the right call for both parties but the scale of his achievement last season - and of the dignified manner in which he led the club last summer - should never be understated.
The manager going is for the best, including for him. That has been clear for months.
But it is mostly desperately sad. He was responsible for giving so many people the best days of their lives.
To go from the joy of a year ago, to all of the misery since then, is unfathomable.
On the first anniversary of the victory parade incident in Liverpool city centre, the thoughts of everyone at the club continue to be with those affected by this terrible incident.
