RIP Sir Garfield Sobers, 89.
The greatest all-round cricketer the world has ever seen.. a brilliant fielder in any position, a magnificent swashbuckling batsman, and both a superb fast bowler AND spin bowler. Garry was a lovely man, too, and a West Indies hero. Very sad news.
Don’t know why O2 don’t just switch off their supposed 4G and 5G even when your phone says it has it , nothing happens, unless you’re connected to a WiFi network it’s unusable.
Typical 3rd world service at 1st world prices
Reform and Restore voters: dirt poor people radicalised by privately educated multimillionaires who pose as patriotic politicians while being bankrolled by foreign billionaires.
Back in my day, Brazil used to be this mythical group of amazing players you'd never seen before until the World Cup. These days, it's lads from Brentford, Bournemouth, Newcastle.
No one wants new sparkly ideas, they just want the stuff which used to work to work. Babies safely delivered, trains that run on time, streets that are clean, pubs that can afford to stay open & homes that people can afford to live in.
"He says it's a personal gift..."
"I describe it as a bung. He can't get his story straight. You can see how rattled he is"
UK media have a sort of "we can't be too hard on him because we might offend people who voted for Brexit" shield around Farage. Not with @piersmorgan👏👇
As we celebrate ten years since the UK voted to leave the EU, it's worth just reminding ourselves of the many benefits of Brexit, as clearly articulated by those who voted for it.
#Brexit
Starmer was hated. Says far more about the electorate than the man. Impossible to govern when people want welfare, triple lock, tax loopholes, NIMBYist vetoes, while also hating the low growth, high debt economy this entails. Starmer was a good man leading an ungovernable country
A democratically elected British Prime Minister has been driven from office by a relentless campaign of propaganda and misinformation; funded, amplified and perpetuated by foreign billionaires and elites whose interests bear zero resemblance to those of ordinary working people.
A noble gesture from an emotional Keir Starmer, entirely consistent with his conduct in office.
A truly sad day for British democracy.
His full resignation speech:
Starmer isn’t a career politician.
Starmer was DPP during the phone hacking scandal.
Starmer stood up to Musk.
Starmer’s statesmanship makes Farage look like a testicle.
Starmer took the long term difficult decisions to course correct Broken Britain rather than easy wins.
A STRANGE KIND OF FAILURE
NHS waiting lists falling.
Workers' rights strengthened.
Rail nationalised.
Immigration down.
Child poverty down.
Pensions protected.
Yet we're told this is failure.
The irony is obvious.
If this is what failure looks like, what exactly would success have looked like?

If Keir Starmer does resign, history will look back on his reign and scratch its head as to why the hell he was so hated.
On paper, he's probably delivered more to working British people in such a short time than any PM for decades.
After inheriting an absolute mess: NHS waiting lists fallen. Worker's rights improved. Rail operators nationalised. Improved relations with EU and improved UK's global reputation. Removed non-dom tax status. Halved childcare costs. Boosted state pensions. Lowest homicide rate in 50 years. Lifted 550k children out of poverty. Immigration vastly reduced.
We are in the age of billionaire funded misinformation, whose sole purpose is to topple democratically elected leaders, and insert leadership that favours the wealthy elites over the working people. Looks like the game plan is working...
