For all those defending Russell Brand saying "She's voluntarily went with him"
Listen to this, and tell me if this sounds like consensual sex or not to you??

This poor, poor woman, along with the other victims 💔
10 years isn't long enough
He deserves life 😡😡

Quite hilarious six days on they’re now willing to give a shirt pull in the box as a penalty.

Just caught a few minutes of the BBC 6 O'clock News. They reported that a 71 year old man has now retired from his job.

This is a great example of why no one under 50 intentionally watches BBC news anymore. Doing so ranks among the least edifying ways to spend your time.

The Bank of England has raised interest rates to 4%, supposedly to tackle inflation.

There is just one problem with this decision. The Bank knows that much of the inflation we are suffering is being driven by rising oil and energy prices, largely resulting from conflict in the Middle East.

It also knows that raising interest rates cannot reduce those prices.

So why is it doing this?

The answer is that the Bank believes it must suppress demand elsewhere in the economy to compensate for rising energy costs.

In other words, it is deliberately making mortgages more expensive, increasing business borrowing costs, discouraging investment and reducing household spending power.

And all this when people are already struggling with higher energy bills. That is problem number one.

There is, however, another problem. Higher interest rates increase costs for businesses, which can then feed through into higher prices. They can, in that case, add to inflation rather than reduce it.

The Bank is imposing economic pain to address a problem its chosen policy cannot directly solve.

That is not sound economic management. It is the consequence of an economic dogma that refuses to recognise the difference between inflation caused by excessive demand and inflation caused by supply shocks.

When will we learn?

Szoboszlai vs Fenerbahce:

0 tackles
0 interceptions
0 recoveries
0 ground duels won
0 aerial duels won
4/20 successful crosses

Excuse me, but these numbers are not acceptable.

Oh, this “independent endorsement” looks less impressive when you consider the relationship.

Robert Jenrick hired Adam Smith Institute economist Mitchell Palmer as one of Reform’s key economic advisers this year. Palmer had already helped draft Jenrick’s economic policy work.

The ASI has also been running events at Reform’s conference, hosting Reform figures and promoting many of the same tax-cutting, deregulatory policies that appear in Reform’s programme.

So a free-market think tank closely aligned with Reform’s economic philosophy — and whose economist literally joined Reform’s economic team — likes Reform’s alternative Budget.

Show us the modelling, the assumptions and preferably some genuinely independent scrutiny.

Then we can talk about whether it really “gets Britain growing”.

Ian Rush turns 65 today 🎉

Here he is taking the absolute piss out of Everton in 1982

Didn't give a pen for a legit foul, did give a pen for a great tackle. Typical Premier League refereeing. 😂 #BRELIV

[David Lynch @davidlynchlfc]

Again you have to ask: what does this mean? These players buying into a supposed siege mentality and yet they will be immediately out of the door the moment sanctions are handed down. Fans gloating about it all. Such a bad look for the Premier League.

Has Chris Kavanagh been on any free trips to Dubai lately?

[No Context Brits @NoContextBrits]

Get in the car. There’s no time to explain.

Some middle manager at Man City had to tell their IT team to custom-build a server that stopped the Premier League copy/pasting any text from the documents they handed over.

"Yeah, we're innocent, but can you just make life as hard as possible for the people investigating us?"

Here he is finishing off one of the best goals we scored during the Klopp era

Palantir is monitoring MPs who dare to criticise them 👁️

MP Clive Lewis just received a creepy letter from Tom Watson specifically referencing his 130+ anti-Palantir remarks

If Palantir is so trustworthy, why are they intimidating those who criticise them?

The funniest thing about the empty threats from Etihad is they tell the story of precisely what the issue is. They aren't named in the report. They could just cut ties. Instead they choose to put themselves front and centre. This is not normal sponsor behaviour.

[Dan Neidle @DanNeidle]

Manchester City cheated Premier League rules, the Commission found. Did it also cheat HMRC?

We've examined the decision and leaked Mancini documents. We think City likely failed to pay £12m in tax.

There should be a criminal investigation.

[David Lynch @davidlynchlfc]

The lack of remorse in Man City’s statement is no surprise but it shows why, along with the club receiving the harshest punishments, their owners should be chased from English football through the OADT. The sheer disregard for their competitors, the game and fans is staggering.
