@afneil He is also misleading when he claims Labour compensated the Miners. They didn’t compensate Miners for losing their jobs—but they did oversee payouts for mining-related diseases.
@afneil Andy’s constant demonisation of Thatcher overlooks an awkward truth: New Labour had 13 years and failed to fundamentally rebalance the economy. The North–South divide persisted under Blair and Brown. He won’t say it—but it matters
@patmurphybbc@5liveSport Wow. A beautiful wordsmith who loves, nay, bleeds sport. Your book on BBC Sports Report was unbelievably good. Thank you and best wishes Pat. I salute you!
@Kevin_Maguire That's your take on this? Far right blah blah blah! This tweet will hang around your neck like an albatross Kevin as it's so ill-timed and lacks any humanity. I actually feel sorry for you tonight.
@henrywinter How is this any different to Newcastle's pursuit of Wissa? They offered £25M which is considerably below market value and the player is effectively on strike pushing for a move.
@UtdDistrict@MikeKeegan_DM@NathSalt1@ManUtd Just look at how much (£40M apparently) Chelsea want for Carney Chukwuemeka. That's THEIR benchmark for a little known/ proven squad player. Garnacho is comfortably above this price IMHO.
@FabrizioRomano Let's just get a fair price for him and wish him well. He has burnt his bridges at OT. He'll struggle as his finishing is an issue at the highest level. He'll realise one day that he has left a truly great club to become a bit-part player at swanky-wanky Chelsea!
