Thanks for conceding defeat @Fornowago .
It is you differentiating on the basis of skin colour, which makes you a bigot. An ignorant bigot too.

Ofcourse they have appealed @davidyelland They were never going to accept guilt. Instead they choose to undermine the process, assisted by sycophants like yourself.
If @ManCity were going to blink this would have been the moment. They have not. Their case is that the PL "opinion" is "unsound" because, in a nutshell, the panel was not up to the job. So when they use the word "sham" it is because they do not understand what actually happened. Remember: City did not leak last week, they remain unable to share detail in public unlike the other side. Stakes now so high it is hard to see over them. We need to see Alison Brittain, the invisible Chair of PL and/or Richard Masters. The City board have been visible. The PL is not.

Thick as mince @PrestwichBlue
The biggest sham is that an owner putting his own money into his club to win titles is a crime, while other owners are allowed to load debt onto their club unchallenged, hide behind offshore tax havens and rinse their clubs dry without giving a fuck about the football.

Most cities in the UK now have food banks & homeless people & boarded up windows & pawn shops & loads of litter...this is the effect of 14yrs of Austerity, this is Tory Britain, it's STILL their mess & it stinks. So don't blame the EU, Labour or migrants, blame the real culprits.

Helping developers sell new builds at inflated prices @AngelaRayner @UKLabour
We’ve seen too many people priced out of - and giving up on the dream of - ever having a home to call their own. For those looking for their first home, this is a Labour Government that is on your side and fighting your corner. 🌹1/3

What will @UKLabour do?
An important policy announcement. A Restore Britain Government will abolish interest on all student loans held by British nationals living in our country, including the removal of interest already accrued. A party backing young British men and women. assets.nationbuilder.com/res…

There's a reality show in this @ITV @BBC @channel5_tv @Channel4 @SkyUK
#GovWelfareChallenge Before ANY politician votes on welfare policy, they should live on it. Three months. The rate that fits their circumstances. No exceptions. No expenses. No subsidised meals. No second home allowance. This isn't a party issue. Labour. Conservative. Reform. Lib Dem. ALL of you talk about welfare. NONE of you have lived on it. The challenge: Three months on Universal Credit. Whichever rate applies: Single under 25: £316.98/month Single 25+: £400.14/month Couple under 25: £497.55/month Couple 25+: £628.10/month Note: those are the APRIL 2026 rates. They DROPPED from 2025. The safety net shrank while rent, energy, and food all rose. The rules: No MP salary. No expenses. No Commons subsidised meals. No travel budget. No second home. Just UC and whatever the housing element covers which won't be your full rent because LHA hasn't matched market rents since 2020. You attend the Jobcentre every two weeks. A work coach tells you to apply for 35 jobs a week. You evidence every application in a journal. You miss an appointment because the bus didn't come you get sanctioned. You pay your bills from the UC rate: Electric: -£150 Council tax shortfall: -£30 Water: -£15 Insurance: -£20 Internet: -£20 Phone: -£15 Remaining: £88.58/month on the single over-25 rate. £20.46/week. £2.92/day. For food. Clothes. Transport. Toiletries. Everything. The weekly shop: £50 at Iceland for a family. I costed it this week. Every product linked. Every price verified. Family of four result: one chicken dinner per week. 100g per person. Four out of seven dinners are lentils. 16 bananas between four people. No other fruit. Single person result: marginally better. But £2.92/day is a Tesco meal deal. For the ENTIRE day. Breakfast. Lunch. Dinner. The commute: DWP considers 90 minutes each way "reasonable." Three hours a day. Plus 8 hours working or job searching. Eleven hours out of the house. The travel costs come from the £2.92/day. A single bus fare can be £2.50. One journey. One way. And the day's food budget is gone. Week by week: Week 1: the electricity bill arrives. It takes more than a third of your income. You learn what "prepayment meter" means when it cuts off at 11pm because the credit ran out. Week 2: the fridge contains lentils, value bread, and long-life milk. You haven't eaten fresh meat in nine days. The microwave costs 3.7p per meal. The oven costs 46p. You use the microwave. Every meal. Week 3: you stopped going out. A coffee costs £2.50. That's nearly a day's food budget. Your friends stopped asking because you always say no. The walls are very familiar now. Week 4: the Jobcentre threatens a sanction. You missed the appointment. The bus was cancelled. The next one was in four hours. You walked. It took 90 minutes. You arrived late. "Late is a fail" says the work coach. The sanction docks your UC by 40% for a month. Month 2: you've applied for 280 jobs. Three interviews. No offers. The Jobcentre asks why you haven't found work. You show them Indeed. 1,964 no-experience jobs for 9 million people in London. The work coach notes "insufficient effort" on your file. Month 3: someone on X calls you "workshy." The challenge is for: @KemiBadenoch you said "if you can work, you should." Live on what you'd leave them with. Then say it again. @HelenWhately eighteen posts about welfare. Zero days on it. Three months would give you the policy document you haven't published. @griffitha you announced £47 billion in savings without a financial analyst. Three months on £2.92/day IS your financial analysis. @JoePJRobertson you said "workshy." Three months on UC. Then use that word to my face. @patmcfaddenmp you RUN the DWP. You administer the system. Live inside it. See what your work coaches see. Feel what your claimants feel. Then tell Parliament how it's going. @JohnHealey_MP you set the rates. You approved the cut from 2025 to 2026. Live on the number you signed off. For three months. With the energy bill you didn't shield them from. @EdDavey you talk about fairness. Prove it. Three months. Same rules. No Lib Dem exceptions. This isn't about humiliation. It's about UNDERSTANDING. Every policy decision about welfare is made by people who've never experienced it. Every cut is calculated by people who've never counted the pennies for the electric meter. Every sanction is designed by people who've never missed a bus they couldn't afford. Three months. Any rate. Any circumstances. Just LIVE ON IT. Then vote. #GovWelfareChallenge builduk.club 35+ charters. Written by someone who knows what £2.92/day actually buys. Because he's lived closer to it than anyone in Parliament ever will. @UKLabour @TheGreenParty @reformparty_uk @RestoreBritain @Conservatives @LibDems

In raw cash terms, the Conservative governments since 2010 borrowed more than all historical Labour governments combined

My army @DavidIfe148086 ? Which army is that? I'm a UK citizen and have never served. You do agree with me though, which is something.
Well, your army did the same in Korea, Vietnam, and many other wars. I know, I was in Vietnam. Stop being a hypocrite.

They complain all the time, just privately to editors. And they abuse public money while doing very little in return.

Here you are @CamillaTominey
"He's talking about things that are literally nearly half a century ago" The Telegraph's Camilla Tominey says Andy Burnham's political diagnosis is outdated - and that he's trying to "re-litigate the student politics of his youth." #Newsnight

I stopped paying my Thames Water Bill months ago. I have explained to them that I'm really happy to pay for the water element, but not for sewage when they aren't dealing with it safely. Threatening letters so far Court next?
Government is going to let the privatised water owners keep polluting and scamming us unless enough of you good people stand up against it. It is that simple. Please sign and share to take control of your future petition.parliament.uk/petit…
