@downbadbears Just adopt Everton as your other team (they are the Bears) and you can 'enjoy' football all year round.

Wow - what day! @ChicagoBears in Liverpool - felt like proper kid!

Legend @peanuttillman, @josh_blackwell - and some fella named Robbie Fowler.

Great to meet so many #Bears fans from around the world and UK - so many great stories.

Tremendous. 🐻⬇️

Big Duncan Ferguson on the ITV set with The Fugees' Wyclef Jean overlooking the Brooklyn Bridge is a genuine World Cup moment.

Tremendous scenes.

[Peter Guy @Getintothis]

Absolutely love the World Cup but Trump and America is determined to ruin it.

Iraqi striker detained for 7 hours. Africa's No.1 referee sent home for being Somali - race Trump has described as 'garbage'.

Hideous stuff and it has yet to begin.

@WUTangKids spot on. More than 100 years of history wiped out cos of incompetent Bears officials and politicans.

My home football team, Everton, nearly relocated outside the city and there was outrage. It shouldn't happen to Chicago.

@jacobinfante24 Even for someone living near Liverpool this is a poor take.

@ChicagoBears Kevin Warren was brought in to do one thing: sort the stadium project in Chicago.

He's failed. Abjectly. Resign.

@drfunkenberry I too, received the press release, I am confused as to why it reads: "New single Stone, a previously unreleased recording from spring 1995 written by Sandra St. Victor, Tom Hammer, and Jules Van Even."

Does this mean Prince didn't compose Stone?

Andy Burnham's speech:

* He says he will 'respect' the result of the Brexit referendum and is not proposing rejoining the EU. He says the focus needs to be on domestic issues rather than 'another divisive debate about a relationship with other countries'

* He says Labour has failed voters in the north. This is his strongest criticism of Starmer. 'I know what my party has offered in the past has simply not good enough. The loss of faith of voters across The North - so many of whom once saw us as their natural party - is our fault and nobody else's

* This is the bit where his pitch blurs into his pitch for PM: 'If I get to stand a vote for me will be a vote to change Labour. Because Labour needs to change if we're to regain people's trust. There will be a vote to make life more affordable. A vote to power up places. A vote to reindustrialise'

* He accuses Nigel Farage and Reform UK of being 'cheerleaders for the Thatcherite policies that laid us low in the first place'. 'Will they now disown them, apologise for them?'

* He says he wants 'maximum devolution of power and resources' from national to local government. He doesn't spell up what that is but the inference is devolved tax raising powers

* He says that public servants should work in the local and combined authoroities that they serve, not for 'unaccountable national agencies'

* Much of his speech was devoted to cricitising Whitehall and Westminster. 'We really need to use this moment to tell some home truths to people in Whitehall. It really can't go on like this'

* He says that the deindustrialisation of the North in the 1980s was 'devastating' for local communities. 'The draining away of economic, social and political power from these places. Left to drift. That's what happened.'

* He says that deindustrialisation was then 'compounded by deregulation, privatisation in the 90s and austerity in the 2010s'. 'It all adds up to 40 years of neo-liberalism that have not been kind to the north of England. 40 years of trickle down economics that did not in the end trickle down very much at all'

* That system has syphoned wealth out of those places and into the hands of people for whom life was already very good. It created an economy that didn't work for most working people. It led to the loss of good jobs, the decline of our high streets and the neglect of our towns. It led to people paying over the odds for the daily basics - energy housing water transport.

Reality check. No #Everton win since March. Awful.

Big summer ahead.
