What I witnessed yesterday made me seriously consider walking away from the club and the game I have loved for most of my life.
Many, many supporters across the country will feel exactly the same as this farce continues.
The @premierleague stands on the precipice. It must stop pretending this is just another day at the office and take urgent action now before it loses all credibility and the game we love is damaged beyond any hope of repair.

The accusation that I am antisemitic is appalling and fundamentally dishonest. Criticizing the actions of the Israeli prime minister, a military technology contract, or the executives who supply it is not the same as criticizing Jewish people. This critical and necessary dialogue is then dishonestly framed as being anti-Israel. To be clear, my views come from my own political convictions and should never be interpreted as hostility toward Jewish people, for whom I have deep love and respect. Everything I know about acting, activism, and humanism has been profoundly shaped by the Jewish friends, colleagues, and loved ones who have been integral and family throughout every point of my life.
This merger has real consequences for real people, and for the entire country. Scrutinizing the Ellisons, including Oracle’s business built on data, surveillance technology and government contracts, and the serious threat to editorial freedom and the loss of a livelihood for thousands of families, is fair and necessary. The $111 billion deal would hand one family control over CNN, HBO and Warner Bros., backed in part by foreign money whose influence on editorial decisions has never been fully explained to the public.
Lawmakers on both sides of the aisle have called for serious national security review, and regulators still haven’t given the public a real answer. Until they do, the merger shouldn’t move forward. Now is the time to dive boldly into all these issues, not step back or concede.
Last night I had the privilege of watching The Day Innocence Died: Bloody Sunday and the Fight for Justice by the outstanding filmmakers Hannan Majid and Richard York.
It is a remarkable and deeply powerful film that lays bare how the state covered up the massacre in Derry, and why the fight for truth and justice never ends.
It is also a powerful reminder of exactly why we need the Hillsborough Law. No family should ever have to spend decades battling the state simply to uncover the truth.
I urge everyone to watch it. The courage, dignity and determination of the Bloody Sunday families, who continue their fight for justice 54 years on, is an inspiration to us all.
Powerful documentary exploring the role of the British state in denying justice for the victims of a notorious massacre

“The reaction to this attack has been pure and simple racism. It is being used as just an excuse for those who want to stoke racist division in Ireland.”

Checkpoints, raids and the constant threat of state violence are just some of the parallels between the North of Ireland at the end of the 20th century, today’s occupied Palestine and any other place suffering under settler-colonialism. ‘The Day Innocence Died’ provides a powerful, unfiltered view of young lives under occupation through a story which is both unique to the city of Derry and startlingly universal.
