It has kept being stressed work on @ManUtd new stadium has been progressing behind the scenes. Feels like if a land deal can be done, it will start to move relatively quickly. Seeing parts of stadium being shipped in will be an event in itself. https://t.co/ITBN7o0W9y

Who would be the most expensive player in Premier League history adjusting for football inflation (increase in total revenue for the PL per season)? It has to be the greatest goalscorer...the one and only @alanshearer at an inflation adjusted £223.3m when signing for Newcastle. He also appears at £100.2m when signing for Blackburn. @rioferdy5 appears twice in the top dozen signings

FIFA is set to generate a record amount from tickets + hospitality not only because the World Cup was increased in size to 48 teams.

It's also nearly doubling its projected *revenue per match* because of much-higher ticket prices. via @WSJ

Some notes on my work ethic:

-I last voted in Parliament on 18 March, so I haven’t done my job for ten weeks.
-I’ve never held any face-to-face constituency surgeries, despite apparently having £5 million to spend on security.
-I refuse to do interviews or face press scrutiny of any sort.
-when I was in the European Parliament I had the 4th worst attendance record out of 748 MEPs.
-although I did manage to turn up to vote AGAINST plans to tackle Russian misinformation.
-I was on the Fisheries Committee but I only turned up to ONE out of 42 meetings.
-but I will of course be taking my £73,000 EU pension.

Vote Reform, get lazy, grifting, self-serving sacks of shit.

West Ham pay rent of £90,000 a week at the London Stadium. This will halve if the Club are relegated.

The stadium, even taking into account the landlord, which is the London taxpayer, earns money from other events, conferencing and catering etc, loses over £1m a week.

This is a classic example of big event legacy costs (similar for World Cups in South Africa, Brazil, Qatar etc) where the short term gain is replaced by long term pain.

This century only the World Cup in Germany in 2006 has had a positive impact on the economy in terms of Olympics and World Cups, because the stadia and infrastructure were already in place.

I was elected as a Councillor when I was 20. I spent hours researching about standing orders, how to propose an amendment and what a council structure was.

If you’re 40+, stood for election, got elected, and didn’t research how a council works you should resign for incompetence.

Dan Burn ahead of Harry Maguire is absolutely baffling. On grounds of form, experience, leadership, penalty-taking. Baffling.
