Angela Rayner - £40k underpaid stamp duty - repaid. Lost jobs in Cabinet and Dep. PM.
Peter Murrell - £400k theft from SNP - going to prison
Huge coverage of both
Nigel Farage - £5m undeclared bung (possibly more) - goes to ground for a month.
Media coverage? You judge.
When Unai Emery took over at Aston Villa in November of 2022, they were 14th and just 3 points above the relegation zone.
They won 15 of their remaining league games to finish 7th & qualify for the UEFA Conference, from there they finished 4th in the 2023/24 season, making it into the Champions League whilst simultaneously reaching the Conference League semi-finals.
Last season, they made it to a Champions League quarter-final where they were pitted against Luis Enrique’s eventual winners PSG, only losing 5-4 on aggregate after a 3-2 second leg victory at Villa Park. They finished 6th in the Premier League, missing out on Champions League football on goal difference alone, whilst also making it to an FA Cup semi-final where they were beaten by eventual winners Crystal Palace.
This season, they are sat 4th in the Premier League with one game still to play, having guaranteed their place in next season’s Champions League with a win over Liverpool prior to the final weekend. They’ve also won the Europa League with a dominant performance over Freiburg in the final, making it five Europa Leagues triumphs for Unai Emery in just 12 years at three different clubs.
The journey he has taken them on across his 3.5 years in charge is ridiculous.
Irrespective of any leadership bid it is now crystal clear the UK tabloids pursed Angela Rayner irresponsibility and vindictively, forced her from office, danced on her political grave. Surely any fair onlooker will contrast this with their blind backing of Nigel Farage and inability to investigate his £5m gift from a Thai-based backer who appears to have at least two names.
The Angels won the game 1-0. Jo Adell saved the game 3 different times. Tonight was the single greatest defensive effort I think I’ve ever witnessed in my life. Anyone watching this game thought “he’s probably gonna rob that too” & THEN HE DID🤯 INSANITY!
Billy, this is Tiger Woods. He has amassed 15 major championships, is tied for the most PGA Tour wins, and has spent over a dozen years as the world’s number one golfer. His only defect is he cannot operate a motor vehicle.
So emails now show Johnson's route to PM was planned by a team of Steve Bannon, Jeffrey Epstein, and Nigel Farage who wanted to overthrow May.
Assume media will be deeply scrutinising Farage’s role in this today?
