@TouchlineX context

This is why the Greens won Gorton and Denton. By understanding REAL working class concerns. Not fugazi flagshagger culture war rubbish

BREAKING NEWS 🚨 86.3% of people eligible to vote in Gorton and Denton did not vote for Reform UK! 72.3% of those who actually voted did not vote Reform! Why are they getting so much air time on the BBC?

"working hard used to get you something.. but now, working hard, what does that get you? .. life has changed. Instead of working for a nice life, we're working to line the pockets of billionaires. We are being bled dry" Part of Hannah Spencers acceptance speech

Reform are blaming 'muslim sectarianism' for a white working class woman, and a white gay Jewish man, winning a stonking majority in a predominantly white Christian constituency. This is racist bile. The Greens ran an inclusive campaign. Every person matters.

🚨 WATCH: Green MP Hannah Spencer delivers her victory speech in Gorton and Denton "To my customers: I am sorry, but I think I might have to cancel the work that you had booked in. Because I'm heading for Parliament"

I just thought I’d drop this here for all the idiots who would like to suggest that London is more dangerous than any major city in the U.S. or Europe. It’s utter nonsense and the data proves it. It’s not surprising to note that the disinformation is largely being spread by UK right wing disinformation peddlers aided and abetted by US right wing talking heads. Here are the facts, with thanks to the Economist for the clip. Oh and by the way, just 6.5% of the population are Muslims and 50% of them were born here. There are 268,000 reform members out of population of 69.3 million. It’s just that they shout their lies the loudest. I’ve lived long enough to see it all before. MAGA is not coming to the UK rest assured of that. 🎥 TikTok - vm.tiktok.com/ZNRUbeV9U/

@JimCognito2016 How is this even a controversial take?

If you're desperately calling for a foreign leader to violently overthrow the government of your country, you aren't a patriot. You're a traitor.

Zack Polanski making the case for a wealth tax Penny Mordaunt comes up with some random figures Polanksi corrects her adding "I'm not talking about hairdressers, plumbers, or people running small businesses. This is not a tax on ambition, this is a tax on people earning more money in their sleep than any of us could earn in our lifetime" When PoliticsLive play Keir Starmer referring to those calling for a wealth tax as snake oil salesmen, Polanski responds, "We need to bring CGT in line with income tax.. It's not just about a wealth tax" "Every single pound we spend on public investment multiplies itself" "It's outrageous as a country where people say the rich will get away with it. Well let's let them not get away with it. Let's make sure we tax people properly" "This idea of austerity, trickle down economics, whether it's Thatcher, Blair, Cameron, Truss, Starmer, it has failed and failed, time and again" "It's time for a new economic model and to turn our country around"

When I think of Alex Iwobi, I'll always think of this.

Incoming call... 📞

@bradyates_ Quality player too

@bradyates_ No mate. He's the left back. Big, strong back 4. Bigger threat at set pieces, let's the attacking players flourish. Need a DM still, but a very good signing

am I the only one thinking Ake is a left back?

@Paddy_Boyland @AdamHickin Without the pen decision we get a different result. We were bad - but think we'd have got something

@AdamHickin don't think they can have any complaints with the result. pen decision - yes. but not the result

FT 1-0 Leeds. Game decided by highly contentious penalty but Everton dismal and got what they deserved. Reminder that they absolutely have to strengthen

Enjoyed this Leeds v Everton preview on the @grandoldteam site so sharing in the hope that you do too. Nice work by @Thebluedoodler and @tomchitty! LC. grandoldteam.com/2025/08/17/lee…

@Sandance1888 @lewis_goodall He says "a kernel of truth grossly exaggerated". There is crime in London - but not to the levels it's suggested. Unfortunately, stealing phones from people's hands after a gig is a tactic - after seeing pulp last year it happened to a friend of mine.

So many sad little bots on here triggered by actual facts about a city they certainly don’t live in and probably haven’t visited for years, if ever. Pathetic.

@elpivoteftbl Important in a different way, for instance to get bigger sponsorship deals - it shows the fanbase you have, the market you have at disposal, and the brand the club has.

Btw unless a club has a special deal with supplier (Liverpool) clubs get between 7% and 10% of shirt sales revenue. Not the earner some think it is sadly .
