@SkyNews Elon Musk is a legend for opening everybody’s eyes to the disgraceful behaviour of this government. It’s you Starmer who has caused the division. You alone

The Green Party don't get that the more people you have in a country the more houses you will need.

[Manchester City @ManCity]

Everyone at City would like to send their love and support to Kevin Keegan and his family following his diagnosis of stage four cancer.

We are all thinking of you and we will never forget what you did for this club during your four years here. 🩵

[Aston Villa Updates @avfcbreaking]

There was a time when a European final belonged to the supporters who dragged their club there.

Not anymore.

When Aston Villa were handed roughly 11,000 tickets for a Europa League final in a 70,000-plus stadium, the number itself told the story. UEFA can package the event however it likes — “festival of football”, “European showpiece”, “global celebration” — but the modern European final is no longer built around supporters. It is built around clients.

The supporters fund the journey. The corporates inherit the destination.

Villa fans will have spent thousands following the club across Europe. Flights, hotels, time off work, loyalty schemes built over years. Yet when the final arrives, huge sections of the stadium are reserved for sponsors, hospitality guests, executives, delegates and “neutral” allocations that often end up on resale sites within hours.

And supporters are expected to accept it.

UEFA’s defence is familiar. Sponsors fund competitions. Broadcasters need space. Hospitality drives revenue. All true. But football crossed a line when the event surrounding the final became more important than the supporters inside it.

The optics are awful because fans can see it themselves.

A finalist gets 11,000 tickets while corporate packages costing thousands remain available. Genuine supporters scramble through ballots with lottery-like odds, while neutral areas fill with tourists taking photos during the warm-up.

And UEFA wonders why resentment grows.

Supporters are constantly called “the lifeblood of the game” until ticket allocations are discussed. Then they become an inconvenience to work around premium inventory.

Football did not become Europe’s dominant sport because sponsors created atmosphere. The noise, colour and emotion UEFA sells globally every season is generated by match-going supporters — the same people increasingly pushed aside at the biggest games.

The “neutral fan” concept is perhaps the biggest fiction of all. In theory it promotes access. In reality it fuels resale markets, inflated prices and thousands travelling ticketless out of desperation.

UEFA could change it tomorrow. Finalists could receive 70 per cent of the stadium combined. Corporate sections could shrink. Hospitality would still exist.

But that would mean sacrificing revenue.

And modern football has shown repeatedly which side wins that argument.

Give it a rest.

Nobody on your front bench has ever run a business - you’re all lawyers, trade unionists and charity workers.

An entire front bench which is parasitic to real working people.

It’s no wonder you have utterly failed and everyone hates you.

You treat the money people work for like it’s yours to take and giveaway to whoever will vote for you.

Working people hate you.

The Green Party has complained about this cartoon of Zack Polanski by the The Times.

They’re deeply unhappy with it. Whatever you do, do not repost it!

Solar panels on train tracks. This makes a lot more sense than plastering them over prime farmland and reducing food supply.

[Ferafestiva @ferafestiva23]

If I’m paying 5 employees £12.71 ph and have to increase to £15 I have to find an extra £29k+ a year (if you include NI and NEST etc based on 40hrs per week) does anyone think a business like a coffee shop can magic up an extra £29k + a year without putting up prices?

Rachel Reeves is trying to double the cost of a caravan holiday in England.

Taxes on a drink, on a flutter, on a holiday… this lot hates you having fun!

🚨 𝗡𝗘𝗪: Pep Gaurdiola on trending photos of Jack Grealish spotted asleep at a bar in Manchester.

🗣️ “People act surprised? I’m not. I’ve seen this movie before with Jack. Talent is never the problem with him discipline is. At this level, you either live like a professional or you get exposed like this. Football doesn’t forgive distractions.

At Manchester City, we demand obsession not vibes, not holidays in the middle of the season, not headlines for the wrong reasons. If you want to be a top player, you don’t end up passed out in a bar. Simple.

People always ask me why some players don’t reach the level they should this is exactly why. It’s not tactics, it’s not coaching… it’s choices. And Jack keeps making the wrong ones.

I wish him well, but this is why he could never fully be trusted when it mattered most.”

Nearly a third of England’s mega solar farms are being built on the country’s highest-quality farmland. This is wrong on so many different levels.

Hey @Morrisons I will never buy ONE thing from you ever again unless this guy, trying to stop shoplifting, is reinstated.

I have listened to Sir Olly Robbins evidence for last hour and forty minutes and am seeing the very best of the civil service. I am left incredulous that the decision was made to fire him. Has there been a more egregious and shameful decision by a political master desperate to save his own skin?

[Football Confidential 🌐 @footballconfid1]

Another week, another game in which Gabriel can kick, headbutt or punch whoever he wants and @FA_PGMOL do NOTHING.

The authorities love to run endless “respect” campaigns but how about they just stop cheating, yeah? Maybe then we won’t need a campaign 👍
