If you and Richard want to get married that is a wonderful and lovely thing - and entirely your own personal business.

If you want to stop women from being able to access social housing because they leave an abusive partner or waste public money rather than tackle childcare costs then yes I am going to fight fear with facts.

He should apologise because Ben Wallace is not a “traitor” to his country. He has put his life on the line serving his country in uniform. A “traitor” is someone who works for a foreign power against their own country’s interests. It’s odd you don’t appreciate this…

@ZiaYusufUK i know what a real traitor looks like.. https://t.co/sIReZYR6I0
Do you?

Twitter isn’t real life.

Those trying to whip up hysteria surrounding Solomon, trying to call it divisive.

Should he sign, you’ll find out soon enough those who actually support and attend games won’t care for politics and he’ll receive a warm welcome. Just as he should.

The reality is Reform are absolutely terrified of any investigation of their finances. Nigel Farage’s crazy Clacton stunt. The private investigators. The attacks on the NCA. This isn’t normal politics. It’s something much deeper.

[Luciana Berger @lucianaberger]

Just woke up to find @KemiBadenoch is allowing this guy as a Tory candidate.

He was convicted for racial harassment for 5 specific blogs. But that wasn’t all - he’d published *reams* of deeply racist, misoginistic and pornographic material about me.

Shocking news that Counter Terrorism Police are investigating a credible, serious threat targeted at an Islamic event in Suffolk.

Thanks to the quick action taken by police and the organisers, nobody was hurt.

My message is clear: I will not tolerate any attacks on our Muslim communities, or any form of anti-Muslim hatred.

EXCL: The £5m gift to Nigel Farage by a cryptocurrency billionaire was reported to the National Crime Agency by bankers who were concerned it may have been laundered money - another big scoop by our @Annaisaac

This man was banned because of his nationality and for no other reason. FIFA did nothing to help him, not even lodge a protest. Ugh https://t.co/6ayCu4CPd9

[David Aaronovitch @DAaronovitch]

Barely a month ago this man was imprisoned for the violent rape of a Sikh woman believing that she was a Muslim. No Douglas Murray articles in the Spectator, no Baroness Fox speech in the Lords. No riots. Two tier? Too right https://t.co/8wABWe3bww

[Tanmanjeet Singh Dhesi MP @TanDhesi]

I was born and raised here. Countless brave Sikh soldiers died for Britain, proudly wearing their turban and kirpan.

Thankfully, Rupert and Restore don't get to decide what is British.

Beware … today they’re coming for me, but tomorrow it could be you!

There's always rice at home.

In November 2017, West Ham were already battling relegation in 18th position when they fired their long-time manager, Slaven Bilić and temporarily hired David Moyes on a six-month contract to rescue them. Moyes got them to finish in 13th.

For the 2018/2019 season, West Ham hired Manuel Pellegrini (unlike Moyes' dogged approach, they longed for more "attractive" football). Pellegrini got them to 10th and somewhat justified the hire.

But by December in the 2019/2020 season, West Ham were once again in trouble and fired Pellegrini, who had managed them to 17th. Who did West Ham look to save them once again? Yes, David Moyes. West Ham finished in 16th.

West Ham handed David Moyes a contract, and in his first full season with the club (2020/2021), they finished 6th. In the 2021/2022 season, they finished 7th and reached the Europa League semi-final. But surprisingly, West Ham fans had started to grumble about Moyes' style of play not being exotic enough.

In the 2022/2023 season, Moyes won the inaugural Europa Conference League with West Ham, their first trophy in 24 years, and finished 14th in the league.

At the end of the season, they sold the club's MVP, Delcan Rice, for £105M. West Ham then brought in Kudus (£38M), Ward-Prowse (£30M), Álvarez (£35M) and Mavropanos (£19M), and loaned in Kalvin Phillips from City to replace 14 outgoing players.

Moyes reached the QF of the Europa League and finished 9th in the league with 52 points (W14, D10, L14). West Ham fans were fuming and demanded that the club hire a better coach who could get them playing 'exciting football".

Moyes left and was replaced by a Spanish veteran, Julen Lopetegui, in the 2024/2025 season. Lopetegui didn't last till the end of January and was replaced by Graham Potter. West Ham finished in 14th place.

By September of the 2025/2026 season, they fired Potter and hired Nuno Espírito Santo, who couldn't save them from relegation.

If West Ham had stuck with Moyes and his "unttractive" football, maybe they'd still be playing in the EPL next season.

There's always rice at home.
