Breaking: Reform has suspended new Sheffield councillor Nathaniel Menday, after further social media posts were uncovered by my colleague @finnsmithjourno for the @SheffieldStar which included a huge photo of a Nazi flag with a swastika on it and a photo of Hitler's Mein Kamf.

Just a reminder that someone burned down a queer bar packed full of people the other day, and it was a footnote in the news.

Starmer gets a free ticket to an Arsenal match and the entire right wing media throws an instant conniption fit

Farage gets a £5 million quid undisclosed Crypto donation made directly to his company, Reform U.K. and it’s wall to wall crickets from those very same media outlets

The EFL has sanctioned Sheffield Wednesday consistently since 2018.

Over that period, the club has been hit with multiple transfer embargoes spanning nearly a decade. By October 2025, Wednesday were under six simultaneous embargoes — the most any club has ever faced.

On top of that, the club has suffered repeated points deductions. A -12 deduction in 2020/21 severely damaged recruitment and momentum going into that season. Although it was later reduced to -6 on appeal, the damage had already been done — those points ultimately proved the difference between survival and relegation to League One.

In 2025, the situation worsened further. The club received:
•-12 points for entering administration, after the former owner failed to meet basic financial obligations such as paying wages and bills on time
•A further -6 point deduction, again due to the owner’s failure to uphold his responsibilities

This is not a case of a club gaining an unfair advantage — quite the opposite. The club has been placed at a significant competitive disadvantage for years due to sustained mismanagement.

Sheffield Wednesday has endured one of the most damaging ownership periods a club of its size is likely to experience. The former owner’s approach has not only harmed the club financially but also created a toxic environment for staff and supporters alike.

And yet, despite this, there is now an expectation that the same owner should be repaid — while the club continues to face further punishment.

How can that be justified?

The new ownership group should not be penalised for the failures of the previous regime. They should be given the opportunity to restore stability to a club that has lacked it for nearly 26 years.

Imposing further sanctions — such as another -15 point deduction, spending caps, business plan restrictions, and transfer limitations — would only deepen the damage. It risks condemning the club to yet another relegation and prolonging the cycle of instability.

At some point, there has to be recognition that continued punishment is no longer corrective — it is excessive.

The club, its staff, and its supporters deserve the chance to move forward.

@KemiBadenoch And you attack Starmer for u-turning 😂😂😂😂. Lucky to have Labour in charge, reversing 14 years of your mess and not dragging the UK into wars.

[Lee Shaw @leedavidshaw]

@KemiBadenoch Deflecting from your horrendous performance with the Iran War. Starmer has wiped the floor with you and reform.

“The real reason for this attack is spectacle, that’s what Trump trades in”

Writer and activist George Monbiot says it would be “foolish” to be “dragged” into the US-Israel war with Iran with “no clear objectives”, saying US President Trump is a “global chaos generator”

When this latest conflict in the Middle East is over, historians will look back at the UK and ponder over several things.

They’ll wonder why, in the first week of the war, the UK media, almost overwhelmingly, spent it attacking the Prime Minister.

And why our patriotism was hijacked by the right-wing media to lambast our own government.

How every channel was able to find ‘experts’ and historians to make fools of themselves and display extremely anti-British behaviour.

And they wonder why the leader of His Majesty’s Opposition spent days of her life working against the country.

Oh, and lastly, why the leader of a tiny minority party was in the USA, engaged in treason and traitorous behaviour with a foreign despot, to undermine our government.

We're in such a messed up time, a branch of reality fabricated by the far-right and their pet media outlets.

Whether you like Starmer or not, this is not the time to go after him. All that's unfolding is a crooked legacy being built around those who'd prefer to sell their souls and work against the country in a time of war.
