#OnThisDay in 1997
Brighton needed a point away at Hereford to stay in the football league
1-0 down, with no ground & no future, Brighton were staring into the abyss

Angela Rayner says that Labour MPs who rebel against the Welfare Bill will lose the whip
There are 403 Labour MPs
Any Labour MP who votes for withdrawing PIP support from the disabled as outlined in this welfare bill is an absolute disgrace
And even worse than every Conservative MP who repeatedly voted to dump raw sewage in our rivers and seas
Labour targeting the oldest, the poorest, and the weakest in society really is quite disgusting
Rayner. A woman who came from nothing and fought her way up to the role of Deputy PM and Secretary of State.
What an inspiration.
This will be the most working class government in British political history.
No more old Etonians making decisions for us.
This is hope.
John Oliver, "The Conservatives have had 5 different prime ministers over the past 14 years.. It's worth briefly revisiting all of them"
1⃣"David Cameron.. Austerity.. Brexit"
2⃣"Theresa May.. More austerity, two child cap"
3⃣"Boris Johnson.. His time in office was a shambles.. Britain left the EU on the same day of the first case of the corona virus was announced.. His handling of covid was an unmitigated disaster"
"For the record there is only one actual f*ckpig in Downing Street.. David Cameron.. As a student at Oxford he once put his d*ck in a dead pig's mouth"
4⃣"Liz Truss who had the shortest tenure of any British prime minister in history.. Her budget full of tax cuts for the rich which caused a mini economic crisis"
5⃣"Sunak the wet.. A man who literally does not have the sense to get in from the rain"
"Brexit created red tape that has grown exponentially.. Trading goods with the EU is now so onerous that many businesses have chosen to relocate into mainland Europe which is not good news for the UK"
"Brexit is estimated to be costing the economy about £100 billion a year"
"While Brexit makes the news, austerity is the legacy of Cameron and his successors because it has in so many ways obliterated public services"
"Take the NHS, years of under investment have left it gutted and understaffed.. Wait lists for NHS treatment have exploded.. More than 7.5 million waiting for non emergency treatment, that's over 2.5 million when the Conservatives came in in 2010"
