Culture secretary Lisa Nandy says the Manchester City financial doping scandal is “really destabilising” for everyone at the club.
Probably shouldn’t have cheated then.
Fabrizio Romano not even acknowledging the Man City verdict and instead firing off tweets about Harry rKane’s Ballon d’Or is like watching Glenn Greenwald’s timeline on January 6th
🗣️ “We are not blaming the unions. We are blaming a union.”
Glasgow City Council representative Colin Edgar defends the council’s position after being challenged by @ConnorGillies over the decision to fire and rehire 20,000 staff following the breakdown of union talks.
Burnham as good as parrot's Theresa May's "now is not the time" line towards the end of this. Which, in terms of a position, has been the safest bet for any PM in the past decade. He flounders, though. Should have been better prepared for the obvious Qs
‘If he loses his majority, he’ll be relying on other parties and will have to compromise.’
@KevinASchofield gives @NickFerrariLBC his view on the likelihood of Andy Burnham calling a general election.
I wonder what the SNP's "trade union group" makes of Glasgow City Council's threat to sack 23,000 workers.
