[Trades Union Congress @The_TUC]

You voted against scrapping zero hour contracts.

You voted against banning fire and rehire.

You voted against day one sick pay for workers.

You said the minimum wage was too high for young people.

Reform politicians openly say they don't like trade unions.

You will always put the interests of your offshore crypto billionaire donors ahead of workers.

Could he not just referee fixtures taking place in Canada or Mexico?

Championship club by the way. Asking for £85 million.

How much did they get him for last year, £30 million wasn’t it? Has he done that much for a relegated side in the last year that triples his value? Probably not.

[Fabrizio Romano @FabrizioRomano]

🚨🇵🇹 Understand Matheus Fernandes price tag has been fixed by West Ham in a meeting with his camp: £85m.

Manchester United in contact with player side, more clubs also attentive and keen.

At this rate they should get Goldbridge on as the United representation as he’s a fucking clown too.

You can just tell the other fans on there think he’s a whiny little child. There are so many more balanced and sensible city fans out there that they could have chosen from.

The trophies, the records, the football. Pep Guardiola changed the Premier League forever! 👏 👑

🛑 Nigel Farage should resign and face criminalinvestigation.
I do not often speak publicly about the riots of 2024, because my family still carries the scars of what happened afterwards. My son was followed by a far-right thug who threatened to burn and kill him, before smashing up our car when my husband arrived to protect him.

So it is not lost on me that Nigel Farage has escalated from suggesting, in the wake of Southport in 2024, that the truth was being hidden from the public, to now explicitly calling for “pure, cold rage” in 2026.

We know where this kind of rhetoric leads. Calls like that, alongside Tommy Robinson’s calls for people to gather outside police stations, have been followed by violent disorder in our communities.

Tuesday night in Southampton, 11 police officers were injured, people were reportedly arrested for offences including possession of weapons and assaulting police, property was damaged, cars were smashed, and communities were left frightened and distressed.

This is not responsible leadership. This is not justice for victims. This is the politics of rage, hate and division, and it has real consequences in communities like ours, and for families like mine.

Nigel Farage is a dangerous politician. He is dealing in a mendacious, hate-fuelled style of politics that puts ordinary people at risk.
He should resign.

'Some members of the Glazer family have been debating whether to sell their stake in Manchester United FC.'

Via @business

Well how this develops but hopefully we can finally say good riddance...🤞🏾

[Howard Nurse @howardnurse]

Are the Glazers considering the potential sale of some/all of their stake in #MUFC then? Share price has been rising in recent weeks.

[Andy Crane @andycrane]

Lies after lies after lies from Reform. How do they keep on getting away with peddling untruths so as to divide the nation, surely there has to be some sort of standard that they have to adhere to?!

[nazir afzal @nazirafzal]

NO he won’t be “out in just over 20 years” - that’s the minimum term before he can apply for parole

N0 he didn’t get a lighter sentence because of the knife - he has deliberately cut out the bit that says he got a LONGER sentence

If he was still a solicitor he’d get struck off

[Scott Patterson @R_o_M]

Arsenal got exactly what they deserved. Cowardly tactics, awful football. You can’t be the Champions of Europe when you set up to do that.

[Andy Crane @andycrane]

Arsenal are going to Arsenal their way to this Champions League win aren’t they….

[United Extra @TheUnitedExtra]

Reminder that they actually allowed this as a goal 😭

Current summary of right wing UK politics:

Conservatives - We've suddenly remembered lots of things we accidentally forgot to do during our 14 YEARS in government that we would definitely do straight away this time, promise

Reform - The Conservatives who messed the country up for 14 years were worried you wouldn't vote for them again so have made another party and are hoping you won't notice it's full of the people who messed up the country for 14 years

UKIP - We still think it's 1998

Restore - Led by a bore in need of a golf club. Been chucked out of Reform for being racist? We're the party for you!

[Andy Crane @andycrane]

No, we aren’t.

Idiot.

[Zia Yusuf @ZiaYusufUK]

White people are now demonstrably the biggest victims of racism in Britain.

I see when it’s not United, and they’re not trying to make it look like a much bigger amount is being spent, they correctly report it in £

Peaked with 95-00. Nothing comes even remotely close after that.

Premier League balls throughout the years

[Andy Crane @andycrane]

@mattcity5 Oh yeah, every few months it’s ‘imminent’. It just needs to be announced now though, it’s just a massive cloud over the league in general. Everyone is just bored of it now too.

[Andy Crane @andycrane]

Reading that Elliot Anderson favours city, I personally wouldn’t choose to work for a company that is currently being investigated as heavily as they are. Especially if there were plenty of other big companies offering me employment.

I’m also very aware that I wear red specs 😂

[Andy Crane @andycrane]

@mattcity5 I read a good while back that he’s already agreed with you, so I thought it was done and dusted! Not sure if Pep leaving changes anything though. He was a massive draw for players wasn’t he.

[Andy Crane @andycrane]

@mattcity5 There is absolutely a lot of really good players around, you can see that by how closely contested the PL is, which makes it even more important to get the players who are a level above like EA. I don’t think he’ll be looking to move until after the WC though will he.

[Andy Crane @andycrane]

@mattcity5 Football isn’t normal life though is it. And the clubs, players, agents etc are naturally a lot closer to it than us the fans are, especially at the highest level, so will also have a different view.

I’m hearing the outcome is imminent, so be interesting to see what happens.

[Andy Crane @andycrane]

@mattcity5 I have a family to home and feed etc so I’d just not risk it. Tosco is still a huge job, right?

That’s the other caveat though isn’t it. Football is vastly different. EA will easily get another ‘big job at a big company’ if anything happens.

[Andy Crane @andycrane]

@mattcity5 The fictional Baldi may be under a big investigation for some serious offences with some potentially large consequences (if found guilty). I’m certain I���d choose the Tosco offer.
