‘Nothing is so fatal to the progress of the human mind as to suppose our views of science are ultimate; that there are no mysteries in nature; that our triumphs are complete, and that there are no new worlds to conquer.’ Sir Humphrey Davey. 1810.

‘Overall, we will drive to be more entrepreneurial, to engage more with industry, to realize greater revenue and greater income into our program, which means there's less pressure on the public purse.’ Sir Ian Chapman. 2026.

With former financial trader Gary Stevenson advocating for a wealth tax of 2% on wealth above £10 million in a TV show this week, our poll last year found 75% of Britons would be in favour of such a tax

Madame Celeste Amarilla,
Vous êtes une femme méprisable et indigne de sa fonction.
Vous ne représentez pas le Paraguay, ce pays qui a transpiré la passion et l’honneur tout au long de la compétition. Par votre inconscience et votre racisme décomplexé, le monde entier a déjà oublié le parcours et l’effort historique que vos joueurs ont réalisés durant cette coupe du monde pour laisser place à une dame incompétente donnant la pire image possible de son pays.
Je ne laisserai jamais aux gens comme elle, la liberté de laisser propager leur haine et leur racisme à travers le monde.

I was just reading about this. To me, it makes matters considerably worse.
The issue is no longer simply whether the original red card was justified. It is whether FIFA has undermined the integrity of the World Cup, and its own authority as the global regulator of football, by appearing either to invent a procedure or, at the very least, to apply its rules in a wholly unprecedented way, against a backdrop of acknowledged political pressure, while refusing to give reasons and seemingly leaving the decision with no meaningful avenue of challenge.

As someone committed to sporting integrity, transparency, fairness and the rule of law in sport, if the reports of what has happened are accurate, I find this deeply troubling.

For years I have represented players and others facing lengthy bans for betting offences where there has been no suggestion whatsoever of match manipulation, because the governing bodies, including FIFA, have consistently argued that preserving confidence in the integrity of the sport requires robust and uncompromising enforcement.

If that is the standard expected of participants, the regulator itself must be held to at least the same standard. If the reports are accurate, this decision, and the consequences for FIFA, could prove to be truly seismic, eclipsing the controversy about the red card itself.

The NHS turns 78 today!

If everyone who has been grateful for the NHS in that time followed and retweeted we’d reach a million in minutes.

While football does not cause domestic abuse, stats show that incidents can spike during major tournaments. The 'Unspoken Stat' is called xV, and that stands for expected violence against women after the game.  A study by Lancaster University has shown that domestic abuse incidents can rise by 38% when England lose and 26% even when England win so the xV is a frightening statistic, and we can all help.

Support and information is available from domestic abuse charities @ichoosefreedomcharity & @leedswomensaid or you can call the national domestic abuse helpline number on 0808 2000 #TheUnspokenStat

A real pleasure to spend time with @garyseconomics discussing how we tackle the deep rooted inequality holding too many people back across our country.

I look forward to presenting Gary with the #RightToFoodCommission report and working together to help build an economy that puts people before profit and ensures no one goes hungry in one of the richest countries in the world.

Our Jota 🫶🕊️

[Liverpool FC @LFC]

Today, as every day, we remember Diogo Jota and André Silva, who tragically passed away one year ago.

Through immeasurable loss and incalculable pain, the impact they made and the legacies they left behind - not only within the footballing world, but in the hearts and minds of so many around the world - has shone through over the last 12 months.

All of our love, support, thoughts and prayers continue to be with Diogo and André's families, friends and all those whose lives were touched by them.

Forever in our hearts, forever our number 20 ❤️

My very simple rule. If you see an advert on social media ASSUME IT IS FAKE. Unless you can manifestly prove via a legitimate source it isn't.

[Rhys Williams @rhyswilliams01]

From signing as an 9 year old boy, to leaving as a 25 year old man. This club has let me fulfill things that dreams are made of. It’s been an honour to wear this shirt, rub shoulders with legends and play for the greatest set of fans in the world. Thankyou Liverpool, YNWA❤️

A must listen for #LFC fans excellent analysis by @KieranMaguire & @kevinhunterday about protests over the recent ticket price increases by John Henry & FSG - an investment that has increased from £300 million in 2010 to over £4 billion - 37 mins in https://t.co/oYFJFDApVI

[Liverpool FC Supporters Board @_lfcsb]

We have been in discussions with the club regarding the current ticket price situation, with further talks expected in the coming days.

No agreement has been reached.

We’ll continue to represent supporters’ views and keep fans updated.

[Spirit of Shankly @spiritofshankly]

Justice Taylor in his report into the Hillsborough disaster recommended all seater stadia but warned against pricing out the fans who used to stand on the terraces like the Kop - he suggested a price of £6 in 1989 - that would now be £16.18 today taking into account inflation

[Spirit of Shankly @spiritofshankly]

It was £8 to get in - adjusted for inflation that would now be £17.20 & that’s when gate receipts were a lot more important for clubs before the global TV money bonanza
