West Bromwich Albion acknowledges publication of the written reasons relating to the EFL Club Financial Review Panel (CFRP) decision to sanction the club with a two-point deduction during the 2025/26 season.

Full statement. 👇

“Till death do us part…”

What a fitting epitaph for Starmer’s premiership.

Starmer's big response to Reform vanquishing Labour in towns that have been Labour for 50 or even 100 years?

To bring back Gordon Brown. The phone-throwing ghost of Labour past.

The man who sold Britain’s gold reserves at $275 per ounce.

The price is now $4706 per ounce. Oh well, only a £40 billion mistake.

Brown, who abolished the 10p income tax, and whose stealth taxes crushed Middle England. And whose benefits bonanza led to mass scrounging and unemployment.

Brown, who raided private pensions, and stuck two fingers up to pensioners by increasing the state pension by a miserly 75p.

Brown, who created PFI contracts that we're *still* spending billions on, and will be until 2050! All in all, we’ll have paid around £270 billion for £50 billion worth of infrastructure. Genius.

Brown, who spent most of his time as Chancellor machinating against Blair. And whose main advisor as Prime Minister had to resign for plotting to smear the health and sex lives of his political opponents and their wives.

Brown, who deregulated the banks, and whose Government gave a knighthood to Fred ‘The Shred’ Goodwin for ‘services to banking.’

Brown, whose borrowing gave us the largest deficit in the G7 when the 2008 crisis hit. And who took our deficit higher than it had ever been in peacetime.

Brown, who attacked a lifelong Labour vote as a ‘bigot’ for being concerned with migration.

Starmer is doomed. The fact he thinks Gordon Brown is the change people want confirms it.

We’re heading for a new Labour leader, someone who'll no doubt be even worse than Starmer.

Back Reform to save Britain.

2024: West Brom named EFL Championship Community Club of the year.

2026: West Brom deducted two points by EFL for accounting treatment of donations to Club community scheme.

[Sarah Coombes for West Bromwich @SarahCoombesWB]

Unbelievable from the @EFL. How is it fair to retrospectively change the rules to penalise @WBA for supporting the heroic work of the @WBAFoundation. Completely ridiculous.

So a club can sell its hotel to itself, sell its women’s team to itself, but West Brom are punished, they believe, for legitimate “in-kind” donations to the Albion Foundation, its charity partner that saves lives. Albion also believe the alleged PSR breach is “less than £2m”

[Daniel Hewitt @DanielHewittITV]

So Albion are deducted points:

-for making charitable donations to its community foundation

-based on a RETROSPECTIVE adjustment to its accounts AFTER the EFL changed the rules

-without being told how much they exceeded the limit

-with no published judgement

No words. #wba

I wrote to the PM reminding him of his obligations under the Ministerial Code.

He’s at best been recklessly negligent, and at worst completely dishonest. It's time for the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.

Parliament and the British people deserve nothing less.

[Linda 𓅪 @llloyd1]

@BBCBreaking @bbclaurak Ultimately you should still carry the can, even if this is true ( 😧) the PM is still responsible for his staff and their actions.

[Dr Luke Evans MP @drlukeevans]

The Labour Government has fundamentally changed the way patients access a specialist.

It mandates that GP referrals HAVE to go through a filtering process with an explicit aim to divert many of them.

This isn’t NHS reform. It’s rationing by another name.

An explainer🧵

[The NHS Whistleblower @ItsnotrightUK]

London NHS pay reality:
ACP = above doctor pay
Doctor = +£1/hour to the value on the table.

We’re willing to spend heavily on roles designed to substitute doctors but still require supervision by doctors.

Yet we claim we can’t afford to properly pay the doctors themselves.

If the system can fund substitution, it can fund the real thing

🚨Hospitals paid £33 per patient REMOVED from waiting lists 🚨

NHS England has paid trusts £33 per patient taken off lists as part of efforts to “validate” and clean waiting lists.

This has removed millions of appointments overall, the REAL reason how Labour are claiming that waiting lists are at their lowest in nearly 3 years.

[Dr Haseena Wazir @DrHWazir]

The Labour Prime Minister @Keir_Starmer and Health Secretary @wesstreeting are now talking about cutting the number of offered NHS doctor speciality training jobs, and this should concern the public, not just doctors.

Doctors don’t become Consultants, GPs or Surgeons straight after medical school. After graduating, they have to enter speciality training, to train to become these specialists. If you reduce the number of training posts, you reduce the number of specialist doctors available to treat patients.

The UK is already an under-doctored country compared to many European nations, and we already have long waiting lists across the NHS. At the same time, thousands of qualified doctors are being turned away from speciality training every year because there simply are not enough training posts. There were 40,000 doctors applying for 10,000 speciality training jobs in 2025 alone.

Cutting training posts will not reduce waiting lists or improve patient care. It will do the opposite, because fewer training posts means fewer specialists available to see patients, perform operations, and run services.

So when people are waiting months to see a specialist or years for surgery, it is important to understand that a major reason of this is because the number of training posts is capped, and those caps are a political decision as the number of available jobs is set by the Government.

Instead, we have a Labour Government directly threatening to cut the number of offered doctors jobs.

When you have to wait years for your surgery or months to see a specialist, ask yourself why.
