Passionately progressive. Positively disruptive.

@avfc_stef Possibly the most overrated player in Villa history. Other than odd flashes of Brazilian magic, he acted as a handbrake on our attacks and he was just plain lazy - it was too often like playing with 10 players with Kamara carrying him. I was jubilant when he left.

I've joined the Xodus 💪

You'll now find me over on Bluesky @jonmaiden.bsky.social...

...free from all the manufactured outrage and hate.

It's bliss. Come join me and many other good (and real) people.

See you on the bluerside! 🔵

@Otto_English @FPLTachanka How's this working out, Otto?

This "quiet" is deafening.

@JohnRentoul @mrianleslie "The triviality and cynicism of the political media"

You understand he's talking about you here, right?

The solutions we desperately need were on offer. You worked tirelessly to make sure they never had a chance to be enacted.

You are the problem.

@Heccles94 Following the dismal Starmer years, the universal unpopularity of PM Streeting causes Labour's vote to implode. The Tories keep trying to immitate Reform but the voters prefer the real thing so this leaves the door to No. 10 wide open for Farage to walk through. Chaos ensues.

@implausibleblog This generous attendance day rate also provides an incentive for all the Lords and Baronesses to live in or near London, further entrenching the north / south divide.

@NicholasTyrone The story shows just how easily government influence can be bought. The scandal isn't the receipt of gifts, it's the meager purchase price of government policy for the rich and powerful. Taylor Swift just got a police escort, but others are getting a free pass to commit genocide.

[Jon Maiden @jon_s_maiden]

@ZackPolanski The two stories are linked though as it shows how easily government influence can be bought.

The scandal isn't strictly the receipt of gifts, it's the low corporate purchase cost of government policy.

[Jon Maiden @jon_s_maiden]

@JolyonMaugham This is the government you wanted. You smeared the left so this valid, soulless bunch could get into power. At least own it.

For the last 40 years, Britain has chosen finance over industry, austerity over investment, and the rich over the poor. It's time to change direction.

@dailyXmatter @LazyFPL Yep. Rogers is a superstar in the making. He might not start every game (like McGinn too) now we have so much depth, but he'll get far more G+A when he does. A bargain at £5m.

@CraigMurrayOrg Oh Craig, not you too 🤦 I thought you were better than this.

[Jon Maiden @jon_s_maiden]

@theiaincameron I'm pleased to see you deleted the post, though if you truly wanted to "engage reasonably" you would apologise for presenting false and inflammatory information and for contributing towards a cruel social media pile on against the woman in question.

[Jon Maiden @jon_s_maiden]

@theiaincameron @iocmedia You are presenting a false binary. Imane was born a woman and she is a woman. It is disgusting to publicly shame her by presenting her as a violent male. You even used "their" instead of "her" to describe her in your tweet. It's just cruel.

[Jon Maiden @jon_s_maiden]

@theiaincameron @iocmedia It's literally in your tweet! "(i.e. is male)"

[Jon Maiden @jon_s_maiden]

@theiaincameron @iocmedia Is it 'fair' to use your platform to falsely and publicly call a woman a man? You wouldn't do that if you genuinely cared about women. You just want to push what is, yes, a bigoted ideology. The treatment of Imane has been disgusting, and you are actively contributing.

[Jon Maiden @jon_s_maiden]

@Miss_Snuffy @arc_forum Shame on you. You are not fit to be anywhere near children.
