@LFCVine 💯. We’ve missed someone like him so much this season it’s crazy (although we need a defensive midfielder who sits behind him)

@AngelaRayner OR tax the big companies properly and reduce taxes so everyone has more money to spend on improving the economy AND there is money to spend on all those things.
There are millions of working people who aren’t in traditional “working class” jobs who are struggling too!

Our party has suffered a historic defeat.
Many good Labour colleagues have lost their seats despite working hard for those they represented. We have lost good Labour administrations and lost the chance for more.
What we are doing isn’t working, and it needs to change. This may be our last chance.
The Labour Party must now live up to our name: we must be the party of working people.
We’ve heard the same on the doorstep as we’ve seen in the polls - the cost of living is the top issue for voters of all parties. People have turned to populists and nationalists because we have not done enough to fix it.
Living standards are barely higher than they were a decade and a half ago. People feel hopeless - that the cost of living crisis will never end, and now they see oil and gas companies use global instability to post record profits.
Once again, ordinary people are paying the price for decisions they didn’t make. It’s no wonder that across the UK, working people feel the system is rigged against them.
Things can be so much better than this. Countries including Spain and Canada have shown that economies can grow and people can thrive when governments stay true to labour and social democratic values and put people first. We need to learn from that.
In London, we lost young people who fear they will never afford a home. In my patch and across the north, we lost working people whose wages are too low and costs too high. In Scotland and Wales, people do not currently see Labour as the answer.
We are in danger of becoming a party of the well-off, not working people.
The Peter Mandelson scandal showed a toxic culture of cronyism.
Decisions like cutting winter fuel allowance just weren’t what people expected from a Labour government.
For too long, successive governments have allowed wealth and power to concentrate at the top without a plan to ensure the benefits of economic growth are shared fairly. The result is an economy that does not work for the majority, with wealth concentrated in too few hands. This level of inequality, alongside squeezed living standards, is the outcome of a model built on deregulation, privatisation, and trickle-down economics.
But we have the chance to fix this.

@BelieveInKlopp Greatest goal ever because it burns the Chelsea fans soooooo much
English

The debate continues decades later. Was it over the line?
Would it have been a penalty if it wasn’t a goal?
All I know is the atmosphere was one of the best ever at Anfield. And Liverpool would have won somehow. Even Chelsea fans know that #Destiny

@waitrose Thank you. So to be clear you are saying that Northern Irish sterling bank notes will be accepted ?
English

@DBellTech1 Thanks for your patience David - please accept our apologies again on behalf of our Hersham team. Your feedback has been duly noted and the team in store have been updated with details of which notes are accepted. ^Trish
English

@waitrose just refused to take Danske Bank sterling £20 note in Hersham branch despite being FCA regulated and erm, Sterling? Astonishing and pretty disgraceful and discriminatory I feel
English

So the #facup #facupfinal will be between Man City and Chelsea.
A team facing 115 charges for financial cheating v a team that has admitted financial cheating.
Ah the beautiful game.
Hard to imagine giving less of a fuck about the final.
English

@DBellTech1 Hi David, please be assured, I've now raised this with the management team in store to be looked into. I'll be back in touch as soon as I have an update. ^Amy

@Uzonna7 If you don’t cry at the end of each episode you’re not human

@LeinsterClub England so close but absolute panic stations in that move, Pollock did so well to win the ball and then that butchered hack through...Dawson calls it the "Mush", pressure plus tiredness. Gutted for Ireland, 60 seconds from a very unlikely Championship.
English

There was less than a minute left in the game and Pollock throws a loose pass instead of going into contact. That's how close we were.
Will Slattery@slatterywill
Ireland win the Six Nations if any of these four things don't happen in the final 60 seconds - Pollock doesn't throw an offload - Attisogbe doesn't block Murley's hack - Itoje doesn't get harshly called for a high tackle - Ramos doesn't slot a pressure pen Razor thin margins
Dublin City, Ireland 🇮🇪 English

@anfieldforge Haha this is me...tbf usually messaging pals to say how pedestrian we are.

Something I’ve noticed about myself this season: I’m constantly on my phone while Liverpool are playing. Not the occasional glance either, proper second screen behaviour. Match on the tv, phone in hand, scrolling while the game carries on in the background. And every week I end up asking myself the same question: what’s going on here?
Have I suddenly developed ADHD? Has years of short form content and endless scrolling completely destroyed my attention span, or more worryingly, am I starting to fall out of love with football?
Because it definitely didn’t used to be like this. I could sit through a dull 0–0 years ago and still be completely locked in. Every phase of play felt like it mattered, every attack carried a bit of tension, and even when nothing was happening it still felt like something might happen.
Now I sit down with every intention of properly watching the match. Phone down next to me. Five minutes later I’m somehow halfway through a video about someone restoring a lawnmower from the 1980s. I look back up and realise I’ve missed several minutes of football, yet the game seems to be exactly where it was before.
Centre back to full back. Back inside. Across the back line. Back to the goalkeeper. Switch sides. Reset. By the time we finally reach the edge of the box my attention has already drifted somewhere else.
And that’s when the other thought creeps in. Maybe it’s not my brain. Maybe it’s not TikTok or shrinking attention spans. Maybe I still love football exactly the same as I always have.
Maybe Liverpool are just a bit boring to watch this season.
Everything feels very controlled, very safe, very calculated. Lots of possession, lots of recycling the ball, lots of patient build up but not always much urgency or unpredictability. It can feel like we’re carefully managing a game rather than actually grabbing hold of it.

@IrishRugby @VodafoneIreland @canterburyNZ @SixNationsRugby Good players selected but the lack of pace in the backs is a growing problem.

@DBellTech1 My apologies for this - unfortunately this was due to a late-running train being ahead of it. If you would like to make a formal complaint, you can do so via our website here: help.southwesternrailway.com/hc/en-gb/reque… ^CW
English

@SW_Help any reason why the 7.28 Walton - Waterloo cancelled and then the next train 7.42 was only 8 carriages. 3rd World service continues under public ownership...

@LeeJarvis10 It's brilliant, slow slow fast. Gary Oldman deserves every plaudit for his miserable performances

@GeoffNorcott @AndrewGold_ok What pisses me off is that if 98% of comedians are left wing and you are the only one that is not, there are only 50 comedians...
I like having you on shows etc as you bring a bit of a balance.
I mean the country is f*cked but we need other opinions while we go up in flames.
English

I had a really interesting chat with @AndrewGold_ok
Probably going to be plenty in this to piss off people from all sides 😬
Andrew Gold@AndrewGold_ok
This was really, really revealing. I am so impressed by @GeoffNorcott - one of the only comedians able to have a foot in both worlds. This is fascinating - pls like / share & watch in 1st reply.
