If I was a Sunderland fan this would be “just take my money” territory!

🚨𝑺𝑯𝑰𝑹𝑻 𝑨𝑳𝑬𝑹𝑻: The new Sunderland home shirt.

We have reached an agreement with Beşiktaş for the permanent transfer of Leandro Trossard.

We will provide a further update once the transfer has been completed.

Labour, Tories, Lib Dems and Greens: I demand you stand down in Clacton. I will be a unity candidate and pledge to build at least one affordable house.

Nigel Farage says he wants The People versus the Establishment. So be it.

Leave him to me.

Tragic! Going there or Tottenham is just an absolute ‘no’ from me 🤢🤮

“We are in the age of billionaire funded misinformation, whose sole purpose is to topple democratically elected leaders, and insert leadership that favours the wealthy elites over the working people.”

You don’t have to be a fan of Keir Starmer to see this is what’s happening.

[Sam @SamCKx]

A democratically elected British Prime Minister has been driven from office by a relentless campaign of propaganda and misinformation; funded, amplified and perpetuated by foreign billionaires and elites whose interests bear zero resemblance to those of ordinary working people.

A noble gesture from an emotional Keir Starmer, entirely consistent with his conduct in office.

A truly sad day for British democracy.

His full resignation speech:

[Antifa_Ultras @ultras_antifaa]

“Football was popular because the poor were happy to play with a ball. When football turned into dishonest business, that is when the wealthy classes saw an opportunity in it, and since then it no longer belongs to the poor.”

— Marcelo Bielsa

[Smithy @smudgenelli]

Not the biggest Starmer fan but his resignation would be a mistake and proof that we’re being run by a handful of right wing newspaper owners out for their own interests and nothing more.

[Paul Castle @Goto_paulcastle]

THE QUESTION NOBODY WANTS TO ANSWER
Something curious is happening in Westminster.
Keir Starmer lists achievements that critics said were impossible.
The economy stabilising.
Waiting lists falling.
Migration coming down.
Britain rebuilding relationships abroad.
Yet the conversation is not about whether those achievements matter.
It is about who should inherit them.
That should give us pause.
Because there are two very different arguments.
One says Starmer has failed.
The other says Burnham won a by-election.
Those are not the same thing.
One is a verdict on government.
The other is an opportunity spotted by ambitious people.
And perhaps the greatest irony of all is this:
The louder the talk of a "calm", "dignified" and "consensual" handover becomes, the less it sounds like unity and the more it sounds like power.
Politics is full of people who want the crown.
Britain needs people willing to carry the burden.
Keir Starmer inherited a country that was broken.
He rebuilt the party.
He won the mandate.
Now he is doing the difficult work of rebuilding the nation.
That is not a reason to replace him.
It is a reason to let him finish the job.

@hollywood_niall My exact first thought. I remember‘watching’ the match unfold on teletext.

[Tim Stillman ⭐️⭐️ @timstillman_]

I’m not going to stop going on about the fact that Arsenal’s success at corners is built on having two of the best corner takers in the game and they both play for England so you’re going to see it in this tournament and you’re going to be forced to accept it 👍
