On this day, in 1993, @JohnMcGinlay10 and Andy Walker were the goalscorers as Bolton beat Liverpool 2-0 in an FA Cup third-round replay at Anfield.

Final edition of @bigissuenorth out now, after 30 great years. Some thoughts from me. Thanks to all I've worked with.

[Gordon Brown @GordonBrown]

Charging the sick for being sick.

Mark my words: this will be end of the NHS if the Tories have their way.

Hi @RishiSunak, did you sign off on Suella Braverman using the Home Office to bully @FreefromTorture into deleting a video where @SuellaBraverman shamed herself (and the UK) when encountering a Holocaust survivor?

This doesn't seem authoritarian to you?

For those who don't fully understand what is up with the NHS, here is a thread for you that might help.

I'm a consultant physician working as a doctor in the NHS in Yorkshire and Wales for 32 years now. I have experienced the NHS at its best (2008) and its worst (2022).

[The Game Caller 🗣🎙📻 @TheGameCaller]

In my 13 seasons of covering live #RugbyLeague on the radio, I've never experienced a supporter breaking into the commentary box to ask for the air conditioning unit to be turned down. Apologies for any profanities you may have heard earlier today.

Odd we haven’t had a 3 point plan from @BorisJohnson banning MPs from
1. Accepting luxury holidays in Mustique
2. Accepting loans for a flat make-over
3. Giving someone a peerage and govt job and subsequently accepting a free stay in a £25k a week luxury villa

90 Tory MPs have second jobs; Andrew Mitchell £182,600 for 34.5 days; Geoffrey Cox £1m a year; Chris Grayling £100k; John Redwood £230k; Julian Smith £144k; Charles Stanley £60k.
These MPs voted for austerity, removal of triple-lock, free TV for over 75s.

Days after Owen Paterson's employers, Randox, won a £133m testing contract, officials learned of a problem... they didn't have enough equipment

No penalty: instead, per docs, No10 did "ring around" to get it loaned to them instead

[Jon Trickett MP @jon_trickett]

A sickening stench of corruption.

[Jon Trickett MP @jon_trickett]

There are 22,143 fewer NHS Beds today than there were in 2010 - the equivalent of losing 8m NHS bed spaces a year

This has doubled waiting lists to over 5 million & was used to justify handing private health £10 billion to “clear the backlog”

Tory cuts to justify privatisation

[Burnden Aces @BurndenAces]

On this day, in 1888, Bolton Wanderers scored the first-ever Football League goal - with Kenny Davenport scoring in a Division One fixture against Derby County at Pikes Lane.

Excellent summary of Democratic decay under Johnson's Tories...
