I have witnessed this club go from doubters to believers, and from believers to champions. It took hard work and I always did everything I could to help the club get there. Nothing makes me prouder than that.

Us crumbling to yet another defeat this season was very painful and not what our fans deserve. I want to see Liverpool go back to being the heavy metal attacking team that opponents fear and back to being a team that wins trophies. That is the football I know how to play and that is the identity that needs to be recovered and kept for good. It cannot be negotiable and everyone that joins this club should adapt to it.

Winning some games here and there is not what Liverpool should be about. All teams win games.

Liverpool will always be a club that means a great deal to me and to my family. I want to see it succeed for long after I have moved on.

As I’ve always said, qualifying to next season’s Champions League is the bare minimum and I will do everything I can to make that happen.

Bahamian Pilot Ian Nixon, 43, is being hailed as a hero after safely crash-landing a twin-engine plane in open water and helping all 11 people onboard escape before the aircraft sank. He tells @cbenavidesTV, “I think my first thought was we didn't die, just get out.”

Senator @AbkaFitzHenley thank you for taking the time from your busy schedule to post the same tweet about 3 times in the space of a few minutes.

Now, let me address your last line first:
The ‘pantry full’ narrative is not false; it is a mathematical certainty. $1.44b from Melissa donations is a full pantry.

People suffering is not a narrative. It is a fact.

We can’t bury that 1.8% utilization rate of donated funds under the weight of $11 billion in future contracts.

That’s akin to moving the goalposts to avoid the Auditor General’s helpful scorecard.

My juxtaposition, which is shared by many donors and people in need is simple & remains undisputed: suffering is a fact, and a full pantry, specifically a $1.44 billion one, is a fact.

"Earmarked" is also not "expended." The Auditor General’s real-time audit captured the state of play as of February 23, 2026, confirming that while citizens were sleeping in demolished dwellings, the cash to house them was sitting in a bank account. Is that ok?

If the pantry is full of building materials that haven't reached the site, the people are still homeless.

ODPEM’s own response in the audit was that the delay was due to an "absence of authorisation from the Ministry of Finance".

Pointing to long-term infrastructure contracts to excuse the failure of emergency relief is a classic redirection.

You can’t pay a January 2026 bill with a 2028 highway project. We are talking about the $1.44 billion specifically donated for immediate relief, of which only $26.2 million reached the street in 4 months.

It is frightening that not even the most damning evidence that the process is broken is being addressed. There is $150 million left over from Hurricane Beryl in 2024. That money has been sitting in the pantry for nearly 2 years. If the "process" takes two years to move emergency funds, the process is the disaster.

George reacts to an invoice that has emerged, which itemises furniture and other items. The invoice was billed to the UHWI, and the items shipped to UHWI, but the address on the invoice does not bear that of the hospital.

Instead, the address listed is that of JACDEN. #CHOL

#UHWIscandal

🔘 Jacden boss Dennis Gordon breaks silence

Dennis Gordon, the embattled parliamentarian who is also the owner of the Jacden Group of companies, has rejected calls to resign after revelations that his firm benefitted from the misuse of the tax-exempt status of the University Hospital of the West Indies (UHWI). Gordon told @JamaicaObserver that the "arrangement" has been a convention for more than 20 years. His company has since paid to the UHWI, the $10.1 million billed by the Jamaica Customs Agency for the duties that were evaded through the misuse of the hospital's tax-exempt status. "Having realised that a mistake was made, I could only do the honourable thing by correcting that mistake,” said Gordon.

[Physio Scout | Football Injury Analysis @physioscout]

Hugo Ekitike was forced off early with an upper-leg issue.

The injury appeared to come after James Milner made contact with the outside of Ekitike’s hip, which commonly leads to a painful contusion/cork or hip pointer injury.

These are often quite sore initially, but they usually settle fairly quickly.

Expected recovery time: <1 week
