@Jack049 @Rmcf_TAA I'm sound. The league hasn't started yet!

[calum jones @calum1878]

@Jack049 @Rmcf_TAA We share a birthday! One of my first footballing heroes after the 78 World Cup final.

@steviemac2010 He got stretchered off today.

Fauci in 2004 on the flu:

"If she got the flu for 14 days, she’s as protected as anybody can be, because the BEST vaccination is to get infected yourself. If she really has the flu, she definitely doesn’t need a flu vaccine..."

Wow...

@BasilTheGreat @Telegraph You mean, invited them to optionally fast for one day for charity. That doesn't get anyone's backs up though does it?

[Craig Murray @CraigMurrayOrg]

The UK should leave Gibraltar. Spain should leave Ceuta. Morocco should leave Western Sahara.

End colonialism.

[Mike1010011 @mike1010011]

@JDVance @POTUS @BillMelugin_ Are you really going to act as if this wasn't coordinated between Morocco, the United States and Israel? Are you really going to pretend that tens of thousands of Moroccans just coincidentally decided to cross the border into Spain? But let's see what yair has to say.

@ATLiverpool_ All Chelsea's success was built on cheating. The new owners have benefited massively by being able to buy a hugely successful football club and not the back street nobodies they were before they use Abramovich's money to cheat their way to the top.

[Kieran Maguire @KieranMaguire]

An offshore company controlled by Roman Abramovich paid £6m to Eden Hazard's agent, and the Club paid £1m that was undisclosed.

According to both the Premier League and the FA, there was no sporting advantage to a career at Chelsea for Hazard (who did not benefit financially from these payments).

Purchase price £32m
Sale price £130m
Appearances 352
Goals 110
Assists 92

During that time

2 x Premier League titles
1 x FA Cup
1 x League Cup
2 x Europa League

The death rate on British building sites 50 years ago was more than five times higher than it is today. But Richard Tice's call to scrap half a century's worth of health and safety regulations would mean higher profits for construction bosses, so there is that.

@kierantyson1992 Bernie Slaven, who had a very good career with Boro says we got the deal of the century. He believes Hayden Hackney will be a superstar, so I won't write him off after a pre season friendly when he hasn't started a game since February.

How deeply mired in corruption must you be for UEFA to be able to take the moral high ground?
Time to put FIFA in the dustbin of history.

@C099i Did you mean July, or do new celtic seperationist movements need a month's notice? Anyway, I need to have a meeting with my Scots and Welsh family to see where we stand on the Irish.

[calum jones @calum1878]

@ready1878 People have PTSD from previous windows and just don't trust the club to get it right. We'll obviously sign more players but the language around targets and transfer committees is more than a bit concerning.

[🇬🇧King 🇬🇧 @King0243_PJC]

Zia, spare us the performative outrage.

The Southport killer was moved to Broadmoor because clinical assessment concluded he cannot be safely managed in a normal prison. That means prison officers and other inmates were at unacceptable risk.

You know, the people who actually have to unlock the doors, restrain the violent, and clean up the blood when it goes wrong.

You have zero lived understanding of what those officers deal with daily in an estate already running at 97%+ capacity: constant assaults, self-harm, psychosis, and overcrowding that turns every landing into a pressure cooker.

Moving one extremely high-risk, unmanageable prisoner to a high-security psychiatric hospital is not soft justice. It is basic operational reality so the staff who keep the rest contained don’t get stabbed or killed doing their jobs!!!

Meanwhile, Reform’s actual policy on the real crisis, prisons at breaking point remains a collection of slogans like build more, deport foreign criminals, rent cells in El Salvador. Fine. Now answer the adult questions:

How many new Category A places, fully staffed, and on what realistic timeline?

Exact capital and running costs?

Where does the money come from once you’ve already pledged tax cuts, welfare reform, and everything else?

What happens to the thousands of British born, high-risk, mentally disordered prisoners who cannot simply be deported or shipped abroad?

Until you can produce a costed, deliverable plan instead of rage-bait videos about one transfer that protects frontline staff, this is just emotional theatre for the timeline.

The officers who have to live with the consequences every single day don’t get to play that game.

@yeeheetom I heard it's the first season ever in the history of the top flight to not have a team beginning with a W.

[calum jones @calum1878]

@teadrinker68 @bushontheradio Early footballing hero of mine after the 78 world cup final. We share the same birthday.

[🇬🇧King 🇬🇧 @King0243_PJC]

Robert, spare us the pantomime.
Gary Lineker did not drag the government to court so he could pay less tax.

HMRC tried to reclassify his freelance work as employment under IR35 and hit him with a £4.9 million bill he did not owe. He took them on, won the case, and proved they got it wrong. That is not tax dodging. That is making the taxman stick to the rules instead of inventing them.

Defending yourself against a false bill is completely different from choosing to support higher taxes. One is your right. The other is putting your money where your mouth is.

You, on the other hand, are busy sneering at millionaires willing to pay more while the Met Police are investigating a £37,500 donation to your own Tory leadership campaign. The Electoral Commission referred it because part of the money allegedly came from a foreign source. You say the claims are false. Fine. The investigation is still running.

So whose side are you really on? Not the ordinary voter in your constituency watching services get cut.

Not the people who actually need the system to work.

You talk tough about tax while your own campaign finances are under scrutiny, and you still found time to abandon the Tories for Reform after failing to lead them.

You lecture others on hypocrisy while the police check your receipts. That takes a special kind of nerve.

[Gary Powndland @powndland]

Do you want to know why the country is fucked and ungovernable?

It’s because of wankers like this who wouldn’t piss on their neighbours if they were on fire.

Tight, measly, self serving, selfish bastards who only care about themselves.

What a fucking skid mark.
