Spotted in Shrewsbury this morning. Great to see our MP finally get a plaque to honour his achievements.

@Conservatives Happy April Fools! 🤡🤡🤡

Vote Conservative for fewer potholes! Introducing our new National Pothole Patrol 🪏

@EdwardJDavey We’re getting Pigeons scranning sausage rolls on the back of our banknotes and there’s nothing you can do about it.

Winston Churchill helped defeat fascism in Europe. He deserves better than being replaced by a badger 🦡

@shrewsburytown Best performance since the Wrexham and Birmingham home games last season. Brilliant 👏

An outstanding performance that fully deserved three points. Fantastic!

@Shrews_zone Agreed. @DanKNorris did a great design recently regarding an alternative Salop badge. Similar to the 93-07 badge in it being shield shape, not the boring circle crest every team now goes for. instagram.com/p/CJYh0m_hFUl/…

"From a team you don't support" Am I the only one who isn't to big of a fan on our current badge 😅

In honour of @SuellaBraverman defecting to Reform UK today Only seems fair to revisit this glorious moment…..👇🏼

🚨HOLY SMOKES: Danish MEP Anders Vistisen to Trump: “Let me put this in words you might understand: Mr. President, fuck off.” Europe is officially done pretending this is normal diplomacy.

❗❗❗

@RuytonShrew @shrewsburytown This was my initial thought, could he be staying on in a coaching capacity …

@shrewsburytown What do we take "stepped away from his playing duties" to actually mean, by the way?! Doesn't actually say he's left the club - surely not staying on as a coach or something??

⚽️ Shrewsbury Town can confirm Chuks Aneke has stepped away from his playing duties by mutual consent. We wish Chuks every success in his future endeavours. 💙🧡

@seanevans88 Managed decline. Safe to say the seats in the Chairman’s box won’t be in as bad a state ..

@PurelyFootball Man of the people

Can you guess who this footballer is❓

@RuytonShrew We’ve got history of sending players to league rivals which then go on to impacted our league outcome …

We're loaning a player to one of the two clubs we're fighting for survival? Insanity, surely?! He could directly help send us down... #Salop

Leaving the EU but joining a customs union is like throwing away the burger and eating the napkin, said the Conservative peer Lord Hannan. He’s right. Recent weeks have seen a bizarre push by some Labour and Lib Dem politicians – including in major newspaper interviews – to rejoin the EU’s customs union. Most of these MPs were not present during the political chaos of 2017–2019 that followed the Brexit referendum, during which many in Westminster fought to overturn the vote. And those Labour MPs who were there, and who now want to rejoin the customs union, clearly learned nothing. The only people advocating for such a policy – and here I include the trade union bosses who have also proposed it – do not understand what a customs union actually is. As a former Trade Secretary, I know that trade is about hard choices. You defend British interests. You say no to deals that are easy to sign but bad for the country. Yet Labour, despite all the dramatic changes to the global trade system this year, have still not grasped one simple lesson. Trade policy is power: lose control of it, and you lose the ability to govern yourself. This is why the renewed chatter about dragging Britain back into the EU’s customs union should worry us all. It is not a sign of pragmatism – it is a symptom of Labour’s weakness. It’s now painfully obvious to everyone that Keir Starmer entered government without a plan. The list of humiliating U-turns is so long that, I hear, Labour MPs now think twice before supporting a policy announcement in case the PM scraps it a week later. From winter fuel payments to freezing income tax thresholds and the Family Farm Tax, Labour haven’t just broken their pre-election promises, they’ve inflicted untold damage to the British economy while doing so. And now the government is weak and has no plan or new ideas, it has re-opened old Brexit wounds in the vain hope that doing so will make it more popular. It won’t. Going back into the customs union would make us all poorer and damage British business and British farming. Four major benefits of Brexit would be lost: we would no longer be able to set our own tariffs, negotiate our own trade deals, maintain the deals we’ve signed as an independent nation, or reject deals struck by others, even when they harmed our interests. Worse, the bloc would demand even more concessions from us to rejoin – and this hapless Labour government would no doubt surrender. Keir Starmer’s previous attempts at ‘negotiating’ with the EU have been one humiliation after another. The PM gave up our fishing rights to get into an EU ‘defence fund’ that we still don’t have access to, and then paid almost £600million to rejoin an Erasmus scheme we’d decided was too expensive at £100million and was mostly being used by EU students studying here, not young Brits going abroad. Starmer’s trade agreement with President Trump, though considerably worse than the deal the @Conservatives had ready to go with America, is nevertheless clearly better than anything the EU has managed to agree with the world’s most important economy. Why would we give up the trade deals we’ve negotiated, all structured to work for British businesses, to join a customs union designed to benefit firms in EU countries, with vastly different priorities? Britain is in a slump. Talk of a customs union is a distraction. I’m not here to make excuses for previous Conservative governments: we got things wrong, or we’d still be in government. However, we did leave Labour the fastest-growing economy in the G7, record levels of employment and inflation on target at 2 per cent.

@shrewsburytown What do they keep in those wash bags? Is it just there Lynx Africa shower gel and body spray from Christmas?

Checking in at Croud Meadow ✅

@Nath_Salop It really is baffling. But sadly, we will have the same issue with the next manager tha comes in. Expected to work miracles with next to no budget. All fault lies with the chairman for me, until he goes we have to continue enduring this.

Appleton still in a job then? Quite remarkable, really. He's maybe a symptom of wider issues, granted. But even so - that's an unforgivable record for any coach at any level, I'm afraid. #Salop

@shrewsburytown The managed decline of the club continues …

Full-time.

@fbrates Roland Wycherley’s legacy 🤡

@ShrewmourMill If Appleton goes, the real problem still remains. Until RW goes, the same cycle will happen with the next manager.

Michael Appleton, thoughts? #salop

Today’s lesson was given by Sir Steve Cotterill 🎓 Fuck MBE Fuck Drooley Fuck Voldermort Fuck this squad #Salop
