@elliegoulding Would also help if journalists/publications did the proportionate fact checking & didn’t clickbait headline. Do agree with the sentiment though.

@GlynLewisWebMan @Lawton_Times @TimesSport They tried banning you from Europe for not adhering to FFP - aka cheating. Much the same as in the PL. And City employed similar tactics of having legal challenges and the infamous quotes about ‘rather spend millions fighting it than pay the fines’. And you were found guilty.

[Brad @bradsmithhh]

Happy J Cole day 😎

@___Read_Only___ @MrStephenHowson Meh, not sure you can give Casemiro offside when he doesn’t actually play the ball you see that all the time.
Not sure Bruno’s on Bailey is even a foul never mind a yellow.
I know what absolutely wasn’t a yellow though… and that was Casemiro 👀

@___Read_Only___ @MrStephenHowson Why wasn’t it a corner? 🤣

Here are just a few of the joys Brexit has in store for us in 2024 and beyond.

(Long tweet. Please expand. Sorry.)

== 1 January 2024 ==

Certain temporary aspects of the UK's trade deal with Canada fall away, such as the tariff-free quotas on cheese. Result? UK exporters face duties of up to 245%.
https://t.co/dN4J2Uk6uD

The IPO will require a UK, Gibraltar or Channel Islands address for service for anyone wishing to change their existing address for service for a trademark or re-registered design, or anyone enduring a challenge to their rights. EEA addresses will no longer be valid in such a situation.

Honey labelling rules change: "From 1 January 2024, you must use 'blend of honeys from more than one country' (or similar wording) if you decide not to list each country of origin"
https://t.co/DsKycIEbSB

Food labels for products sold in GB must include the name and address of the "food business operator" (FBO): "From 1 January 2024, pre-packaged food or caseins sold in GB must include a UK address for the FBO. If the FBO is not in the UK, include the address of your importer, based in the UK."

There are no doubt more issues in the pipeline, just waiting to trip us up. But as should already be amply obvious from the above, Brexit is the gift that keeps on giving and giving: more red tape, more complexity, more duplication of work, more costs, and more businesses throwing up their hands and giving up entirely.

Fun, fun, fun.

@d0nkeydr0p @markgoldbridge Watched the ball travel 30 odd yards and looks at it just as it’s coming over his shoulder. Think he’s been very cute knowing it’s going to Rashford. Experienced pro move but you can’t say he hasn’t looked at the ball cos that’s just wrong.

[Brad @bradsmithhh]

@Chuddyyy @EPLBible 🤣 that was never a pen either but the only difference Grealish hand literally sticking out above his head… if that was harsh then tonight’s is a joke

With what appears to have been an assist from Farage and Sunak, the GB News owners hedge fund has reportedly cashed by in betting against NatWest. This requires an urgent investigation so we can find out what has happened.

So do reports of Truss and Kwarteng reportedly having lunch with hedgefunders that short the pound prior to the mini budget. Then after, at a widely reported champagne lunch, where Kwarteng was said to have been advised to double down on their horrifying budget, which further screwed the markets and left millions of Britons facing huge mortgage increases and risk of homelessness.

It’s almost as if the book Jacob Rees Moggs dad wrote is being used as a manual. This is generally how "Sovereign Individuals" operate.

One of Jacob Rees Mogg’s donors is Crispin Odey, ex husband of Murdochs daughter and the man that made millions in the aftermath of Brexit, after donating vast sums to leave groups, he has benefitted from a lot of crashes. He’s also linked to the fossil fuel big wigs, Mogg is vocally pro fracking and was very pro Brexit, but I’m sure that’s just a big coincidence…

Disaster capitalism, shorting the pound, betting against your own country - the antithesis of patriotism. Yet they all claim to be the poster boys for patriotism? Real patriots look around now and feel little but shame for what their nation has become.

That’s how it all generally works though, between the government and powerful people. It’s all high stakes gambling and bank robbing arranged in Prada at the Carlton by the elite, fuck ups orchestrated, billionaires get richer, send it all offshore - then we are left to pay for it, a society in ruins that’s told to accept low pay as food prices and energy bills soar, that face hate crimes as their red meat/ culture war rhetoric impacts our communities, that’s taxed higher as our public services fall to ruins due to government cuts.

Meanwhile, MPs cash in, their pay increases, their expenses increase and their mates divvy out shares then take the money and run, or buy yachts and sail away.

They’re like a posh mafia and we are all being conned on an industrial scale.

@PLBeckett7 @unused73737 @BBCNews Isn’t that the point the Commissioner is making? Saying that the Met are failing Londoners twice - the vulnerable person not getting an adequate response from a MH practitioner and secondly the victim of the ‘low-level’ crime which Police can’t attend as they’re dealing with MH.

[Brad @bradsmithhh]

Must be a right laugh working at Monzo or Starling reviewing the video security messages. Must see some absolute states.
