Dear @Nigel_Farage you must lead a broad movement in the country against the betrayal of #Brexit. Many including us will follow.

[The 1958 @The__1958]

Our full statement released to the press this morning.

🗣️ 20 Years of Glazer Ownership: A Legacy of Ruin

May 2005 marked one of the darkest days in the history of Manchester United Football Club. The Glazer family became majority shareholders, triggering a compulsory takeover that was completed on 29th June 2005.

That moment signalled the beginning of the end for the soul and community of our once-great club — sacrificed at the altar of corporate greed.

Sir Alex Ferguson, a staunch supporter of the Glazers then and now, masked the damage with unprecedented success on the pitch. Since his retirement, the rot beneath has been laid bare for all to see — the true cost of 20 years of financial exploitation and mismanagement.

👉The club is drowning in over a billion pounds of debt (down to Glazer greed and betrayal)
👉Our fanbase is fractured and divided (down to Glazer greed and betrayal)
👉Our stadium neglected (down to Glazer greed and betrayal)

Hundreds of millions have been siphoned off to service that debt — not by the Glazers, but by our club.

All while the Glazers continue to pocket dividends, year after year, regardless of failure on the pitch.

Old Trafford, once the Theatre of Dreams, is crumbling from decades of neglect.

They have taken everything. They have stolen it all

Now, even Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s arrival has come at the cost of hundreds of jobs, further punishing a fanbase already suffering under the Glazers’ reign. Lifelong, loyal supporters are being driven away from the club they love — priced out and pushed aside. Another dagger in the heart of our footballing community, club moral in the gutter. It’s never been worse.

Make no mistake — this is the legacy of the Glazer family: greed, decay, and betrayal.

Our final home game of the season is against Aston Villa.

We stand together as a generation have done before us.
To make it clear: 20 years on, the fire still 🔥burns🔥 Red — with fury and defiance.

We are at that crossroads again, 20 years ago media, government, ruling bodies and a lot of fans stood by and watched it happen. History is repeating itself, we are sleepwalking into the abyss again with the ownership, fans being trampled on and a stadium being pushed through for all reasons other than football and community heritage.

The game is being stolen from under our feet, the heart and soul being ripped out of every club, look around, look at other clubs now waking up to what United fans have known all along.

We will do our part to stop this, will you do the same?

We want the Glazers out of our club.
They were never welcome.
They are not welcome now.
They will never be welcome.

We stand together shoulder to shoulder in defiance once again at the Villa game.

Politics is already in football - the question is, whose politics? We have more in common with Palestinians in Gaza than we do with the likes of Glazer, Sheikh Mansour and Infantino.

@FIFAcom @UEFAcom Red Card Israel NOW 🟥

King Eric Cantona:

Jim Ratcliffe and Ineos, they are destroying Manchester United. You do not win big trophies by sacking the cleaning people , If you have not the money, why you come? Nobody ask you to come! Give the club to someone who cares… who puts money!

Spring Clean may have come to an end, but keeping our streets and neighbourhoods clean shouldn't be limited to a single day or campaign.

A cleaner Longsight, a cleaner Great Britain is a collective effort, one we all play a part in.

Let’s continue working together to keep our area green, clean, safe, and welcoming for everyone.

The way football clubs should be run

[FC United of Manchester 🟥⬜⬛ @FCUnitedMcr]

Eric Cantona is now a co-owner of FC United of Manchester.

Because at our club, fans aren’t just supporters - they’re owners.

Cutting Aid to Fund Weapons? A Moral Failure, Not Just a Policy Choice,

The government’s decision to cut international aid from 0.5% to 0.3% in favour of more defence spending is not just a policy shift it’s a betrayal of our values.

This move will take food from the hungry, medicine from the sick and education from children. UK aid is a lifeline, cutting it means turning our backs on the world’s most vulnerable.
We can’t ignore our role in global instability through war, pollution and exploitative policies.

If we’ve contributed to the crisis, we must be part of the solution.

Britain once led with compassion. These cuts send a message that we no longer care.

We must urge the government to reverse these cuts.

Because compassion isn’t a cost, it’s an investment in a safer, fairer world.

My advice surgeries aren’t always about concerns and problems sometimes, they’re just great banter!

And that’s exactly what’s missing: spaces where people can come together, share a smile and connect.

I will continue to voice for such places, in the hope that we can once again create spaces of laughter and joy in this world of cuts, cuts and cuts.
It’s vital that our government invests in community spaces and organisations across Manchester and the UK to bring people together.

Wishing you and your loved ones a very special Eid filled with blessings and strengthened family ties.

Let this occasion inspire us all to make positive contributions to our communities, fostering unity and compassion.

As we celebrate, let us also remember to keep the people of Gaza in our prayers—those who have tragically lost their families and homes this Eid.

May this Eid bring peace, hope, and justice to all.

Tackling Crime Requires More Than Blaming Cuts – It’s About Priorities and Action

At the recent council meeting, I challenged the motion for focusing on financial cuts while ignoring deeper issues. Rising crime isn’t just about funding it’s about the lack of clear priorities, accountability, and the will to act.

I shared my own experience of facing harassment and assault after calling for a ceasefire in Palestine and Lebanon during council meeting in October. Despite reporting it, the police offered no real investigation just a crime reference number. The council’s response? A form-filling exercise with no support.

If even an elected councillor is ignored, how can ordinary residents feel safe? I called on the council to action real accountability from GMP and council, to i ensure proper victim support, and address institutional failings.

Let’s stop shifting blame and start prioritizing justice and action.

.@georgegalloway and a very others stood on the right side of history opposing Blair & Bush's Iraq blunder in 2003.

A crime that echoes still. If only we'd heeded the anti-war voices then - and banished warmongers from power today, if only people would listen to them today as well?

🇬🇧🇷🇺 UK tries some nuclear safer-rattling?

Chill out folks, it's not the fight yo want to pick ... cause nothing off Britain would be left if you go against the most nuclear armed nation on earth.

Just focus on your economy and forget russia. Historically, russia never attacked Britain and that will not change.

22nd anniversary of Iraq invasion today.

BP returned to Iraq in 2009 after 35-year absence and took control of its largest oilfield near Basra. UK soldiers were still occupying the area.

Over next decade, the company extracted Iraqi oil worth £15bn.

1 million Iraqis died.
