@RonanMacca99 He's getting some good national league experience in time for being our number 1 next season at that level ha.

Folk losing there minds over our ressie keeper going out on loan for a week when we have 3 keepers. Warra football club

Lots of drowning our sorrows that day 🍺

@BenInRushcliffe Honestly its why they'll top out at around 25% but obviously FPTP will play to their advantage when it comes to seats.

@CMAltree Well that's Reforms strat

This didn't work in Gorton etc... no idea why the Labour Party think this is the winning strategy. It also doesn't work when you put Starmers 10 leadership pledges up to where he is now 🤷‍♂️

@BenInRushcliffe We shall see I'm not convinced negative campaigning works in this country (yet).

@CMAltree Well it did to an extent. There was good polling / data on the ground about it. They just attacked too late. And many people had made up their minds about the Greens early on in the campaign.

@ChloeAlbertson_ @johnnyjacobser @NoraFridrichova @magyarpeterMP Positive and energetic with a side dose of cunt it would seem.

@johnnyjacobser @NoraFridrichova @magyarpeterMP 🤣OK

This morning I started the day in Vienna, where I requested a comprehensive drug test covering all substances from a certified Austrian laboratory. A hair sample can detect any drug use over a long period of time. As I have said before, I have never used drugs, but since the Fidesz leadership, who regularly use drugs, and their propaganda machine keep accusing me of it, I will now prove this with an official test. As soon as I receive the results, I will publish them. Under a TISZA government, we will introduce regular alcohol and drug testing for politicians.

@oldishbird1 @Alexarmstrong @rospay15 Ohh well that makes it ok then 🙄

@Alexarmstrong @rospay15 There were 98 public comments submitted on the planning application so there clearly was a public consultation. The land was designated industrial in the local plan and suitable for warehousing. And the process has already been subject to an audit. wigan.moderngov.co.uk/documents/s985…

Today, I’m heading up to Wigan to speak to residents, who claim not to have had a public consultation about THIS monstrosity built literally on their back gardens.

@charliewalduck Me either left early yesterday its wasted energy shouting

@CMAltree His body language is one of resignation of the fact we are going down and there is absolutely no fight whatever - he will be gone at the end of the season and we will be in the national league - I do even have the energy to get angry anymore

Genuinely couldn't have a worse skipper right now as he's not arsed and I don't care what he says.

@AdamConv_ @TaylorBAFC Haha brilliant

@TaylorBAFC @CMAltree Can confirm. My favourite is the unexpected waiter approaching the table to ask if the food is okay, that one gets him every time.

I promised myself I wouldn’t stand there and shout again this season… This ‘performance’ quickly made that impossible. Waste of breath? Absolutely. Utterly embarrassing. Far too many of these players will be out the door in the summer without a care in the world.

I hate them all

Football has a huge problem with goalkeepers feigning injury and I say as that as a Barrow fan who had Farman. Needs sorting for next season and beyond.

@HarveyDale12 @AvantiWestCoast Only the best for the working classes.

@CMAltree @AvantiWestCoast You’ve changed

@AvantiWestCoast compliments to the staff managing first class on 1440 Euston to Edinburgh excellent service throughout to Preston. Although minus points for no cheese board selection 😢

@labourlewis Be interesting to see how many MPs recieve money from these water companies to promote the failed privatisation. A disgrace sadly I see no end to it with Labour determined to keep status quo.

In the more than decade I have had the privilege of serving as your MP for Norwich South, I don’t think I have ever attended a meeting quite as moving as the one we held in Parliament this week. We hosted the people behind Channel 4’s Dirty Business. It tells the true story of campaigners and families who have spent years fighting not just water companies, but a system that was meant to protect us and has too often failed. Many of you will know that since introducing my Private Member’s Bill to bring water back into public ownership, I have been raising these issues in Parliament and beyond. I have heard the evidence. I have read the reports. I have listened to accounts of pollution, regulatory failure, and companies putting profit before the public good. But nothing prepares you for sitting in a room with people who have lived the consequences. The most difficult moment came when we heard from a mother who lost her daughter after exposure to polluted water. Her story is part of the series, but hearing it in person was something else entirely. To hear her voice break as she described the moment she lost her child is something I will not forget. There was no anger in her tone. No performance. Just grief, dignity, and a determination that no other family should go through what she did. At the end of the meeting, she came over to speak to me. She gave me a hug and thanked me for the work we have been doing to bring water back into public ownership. I have to be honest. That meant more to me than almost anything else I have experienced in Parliament. Because in that moment, this stopped being about policy, or process, or politics. It became about something much simpler. What kind of country allows this to happen? And what kind of country decides it will not allow it to happen again? For years, we have been told that this system works. That it just needs tweaking. Better regulation. Stronger oversight. But when a system allows pollution on this scale, when it fails families in this way, when it continues to reward failure with profit, we have to be honest about what we are dealing with. This is not a system that is broken. It is a system doing exactly what it was designed to do. That is why I believe there is no alternative to bringing our water back into public, democratic ownership. Not as an abstract idea. Not as ideology. But because it is the only way to align this essential service with the public interest. The people I met this week are not politicians. They are not lobbyists. They are ordinary members of the public who have given years of their lives to holding power to account. They are the ones who have tested the water, gathered the evidence, fought the legal battles, and refused to be ignored. They are the ones who have carried this issue when others would not. They are, quite simply, the reason this fight continues. And it will continue. Because water is not just another commodity. It is something we all rely on, something we all share, and something that should belong to all of us. So we keep going.

Rugby league is a dying sport in this country! convince me otherwise.

Back on this week's pod 🎙

Only time I've watched England in a tournament was France 2016 this was by far the most crazy part. Those Russians were animals that day. Nightmare after the game as well getting back with Marseille ultras joining the Russians in going after the English.

@smcmenemy58 We've really knackered it unless we're suddenly going to beat teams chasing promotion.

@CMAltree Needed six from those two home games, not one. Fearing the worst

Looking at our fixtures now that's probably us done today was must win sigh......
