@reecemessijones @SkySportsNews Beyond a joke. NUFC being punished for trying to compete and be ambitious, while the message seems to be “know your place”. Yet Man City’s charges have dragged on for years. Why the delay? Why wasn’t it dealt with at the first opportunity?

The rules need to be changed.

@FtblJoe I will miss what he is capable of. We’ve not seen it since the very start of last season. The cup win season he was phenomenal as were so many others. We just need to get rid of players that don’t want to play for our badge.

@andrewc44104127 Thatcher and her privatisation agenda started it. The rise of unchecked capitalism followed, bringing with it greed, profit-driven control, and the erosion of public ownership.

@Nigel_Farage Context matters. Complex issues like immigration cannot be reduced to a single headline figure and used as a political weapon. The same oversimplification was seen during Brexit slogans are easy, but the reality is far more complicated. Good policy starts with facts, not fear.

[Christopher Mitton @mittoneer]

@Nufc_fnd Broken system: a lot of things today make it harder for people and clubs to compete fairly. Until more people question how things work and push for change, nothing will improve. Too often, those with the most power decide the future while others try to catch up.

@geordeano I really wish we went in for Vlahovic

@LukeEdwardsTele Football has lost its soul. Greed has replaced loyalty, protecting the powerful while eroding the community that made the game special.

Fans are divided and fighting each other, when deep down we all want the same thing: hope, ambition, and a fair chance for our clubs to compete

@Carl_F88 @geordiejosh That’s paper talk

@Nigel_Farage Political class, what class does this make you?

[Benjamin @HelloBenWhite]

Absolutely love the fact that someone has decided to stand up and tell Fabrizio that he is wrong.

He may not be lying about these things, but he is manipulating the system to force outcomes that the ‘selling’ club often doesn’t want.

And for what?
What value does he add?

@Dave_Holland1 @KayBurley It’s like watching the Conservatives all over again. Labour are shooting themselves in the foot.

[Christopher Mitton @mittoneer]

@KayBurley We need to pull together as a nation and stop creating division. Enough is enough!

[Christopher Mitton @mittoneer]

@piersmorgan What Labour are doing to themselves is exactly what the Conservatives did. There’s no stability in politics anymore. Everything so fragile. Why does it have to be this way?

[Jack Dart @JackWDart]

If people genuinely believe Burnham won’t receive the exact same media onslaught, they’ve not been paying attention.

Starmer is not, objectively, bad. This idea that he is somehow the worst PM in British history is frankly laughable.

Liz truss lasted 49 days, crashed the pound and was laughed out of Downing Street.

Since Labour took office, Keir Starmer’s government has:

• Scrapped the two-child benefit limit, lifting hundreds of thousands of children out of poverty and putting money back into some of the hardest-pressed households in the country.

• Expanded free school meals, cutting costs for families and making sure more children get a proper meal during the school day.

• Expanded funded childcare, reducing one of the biggest monthly costs facing working parents and making it easier for people to stay in work.

• Raised the National Living Wage, increasing pay for millions of low-paid workers.

• Strengthened workers’ rights, giving people greater protection against insecure work and bad employers.

• Introduced statutory sick pay from the first day of illness, so workers are less likely to choose between their health and their wages.

• Ended no-fault evictions, giving renters more security in their homes.

• Brought rail operators back into public ownership, taking key services out of failed private hands and giving the public a stronger stake in how they are run.

• Cut NHS waiting lists from their post-pandemic peak, meaning more patients are being seen sooner.

• Raised the state pension through the triple lock, protecting pensioners’ incomes against rising costs.

• Scrapped the old non-dom tax regime, making some of the wealthiest people in the country pay more fairly.

• Added VAT to private school fees, raising money from those most able to contribute.

• Removed business rates relief from private schools, ending an unjustified tax break.

• Increased neighbourhood policing, putting more officers and PCSOs back into communities.

• Helped bring knife crime down, meaning fewer families face the devastation of serious violence.

• Recorded the lowest homicide rate since the 1970s, a material improvement in public safety.

• Created Great British Energy, giving Britain a publicly owned clean energy company.

• Created the National Wealth Fund, backing investment in industry, infrastructure and clean energy.

• Passed planning reforms aimed at getting homes and major projects built faster.

• Improved relations with the EU, reducing diplomatic hostility and rebuilding practical cooperation.

• Agreed a UK-EU security partnership, strengthening cooperation on defence and European security.

• Signed a long-term partnership with Ukraine, reinforcing Britain’s support against Putin’s invasion.

• Secured new trade agreements, opening up markets for British businesses.

• Helped restore seriousness to government after years of scandal, chaos and decline.

People do not have to like Starmer. They do not have to vote Labour. But pretending this is the record of the worst Prime Minister in British history is absurd.

@BBCSport This is a disgrace. Football's strength is its diversity. Discrimination has no place in our game. The USA and FIFA, do better.

Infantino calls it "the greatest football show on the planet". A WC should unite people from every race, nationality and culture, not exclude and divide. Football's strength is its diversity. Discrimination has no place. @FIFAcom, do better. #WorldCup
