@gmptraffic As a cyclist my own personal experience is that skip lorry drivers are cunts. Tipper & scaffolding truck drivers also. All incentivised to speed, often paid per load.

If you’re anxious about getting to work tomorrow - particularly if getting there is essential - please do yourself a favour for next year. Get some winter tyres if you can afford and store them, and some advanced driver training. It will transform things for you.

@GSElecHighway your network doesn’t like our MAN eTGX - Couldn’t charge on M6 North Monday evening error code 011 & again this morning at Wetherby services - Using Allstar EV Fuel card no idea why it wouldn’t work. Started charging then immediately stopped 🤷🏻‍♂️

@Solly01 If you look at the mainstream parties they do nothing for the working class of this country I think people have had enough & are looking outside of them. To be honest my opinion is you couldn’t make a good one if you put the whole lot together

Can somebody please help me understand why Reform are ahead in the polls? Their leader is someone who has never served or tried to help the people who vote for him. Even as a member of parliament he’s never there, he’s not even in the country most of the time. Why support them?

@WhitesideDee @NormanWhiteside Great message and a brave decision to hand them back. The club is unfortunately a laughing stock at the moment and seems to stumble from one disaster to the next, really hope we get it right on the pitch next season 🤞🏻

So, I’ve waited for a while to write this. It is with unbelievable sadness, that after more than 28 years of having season tickets at Old Trafford, @NormanWhiteside and I are not renewing next year. Having been forcibly relocated last season, “red carded” for not attending

Don't forget, the Scottish Greens are trying to ban the Red Arrow flypasts because of the emotional harm they do to refugees. No joke.

@WayneSBarton Like most fans I’m dismayed by how out great club is currently going about its business, to write what you have in this statement speaks volumes about you. Sir Rat has no idea how wrong he is getting it in my humble opinion.

So just over two years in my dream job came to an end today as I became one of the statistics you’ve been reading about in the press associated with United. For those two years I loved every day of being able to work at Old Trafford, I loved the immense privilege despite it being such a difficult time in our history, hoping that I could help from within to contribute something positive. I’m beyond proud of my work outside of United, the kind reviews of my books and perception of me as a writer. To be described as the pre-eminent writer on the club by Martin Edwards, to have Tony Whelan say I have ‘no peers when it comes to articulating the nature and essence of our magnificent football club’ are not tributes I use to be boastful, but are compliments I’m incredibly, incredibly proud of, as they represent something I’ve worked extremely hard for.  That outside reputation earned the trust of some of the club’s most beloved families, as well as that of the family of Tom Tyrrell, who entrusted me with his archive. I was able to use some of that to create some fascinating content for the club, including podcasts to mark the 66th anniversary of Munich and the 25th anniversary of the Treble, which were both very warmly received. I was also trusted to conduct a one-man investigation to discover the foundation date of the club, which I accomplished. The club did not know of this beforehand. It is one of the most important pieces of information in the club’s history and I’m very proud that it was my research and investigation which discovered it.  I am proud that I worked on the campaign that saw former players awarded winners’ medals in 2023. I also conceived a legacy project to record interviews with elder figures at Old Trafford for archival use for future generations, and worked on important in-house academy projects.  And I have immense pride that copies of my books have been given to young academy players, as well as sit inside the walls of Old Trafford on the director’s corridors.  To see these things with my own eyes has been an indulgence I cannot describe. Obviously, I am heartbroken that my contribution is no longer of value to the club I love. I understand that difficult decisions have to be made. I have seen very talented people leave their roles, and I have seen legendary figures who are drenched in the history of our club been told they too are now part of the past; a past which is, for me, the richest history in football, a past which these people remain a significant part of the tapestry and educational process for the future. They are indispensible; the cost of losing them far greater than financial. I read all the comments on social media from those on the outside, who speak about the necessity of these decisions. People make jokes and comments, but we are talking about people working for the club, mostly because they love the club. It’s the biggest club in the country, possibly the world, and every loss I’ve seen and experienced has been significant to the operations. Every loss has been felt.  These are real people, real lives, being affected - not because of the quality of their performance or contribution. They work incredibly hard and feel, like I have done, a sense of gratitude and privilege and a dream coming true. There are people having to deliver terrible news which wasn’t their decision to make. A football club is not a normal business. It is a community asset, serving different needs. It is it’s history.  Anyway. So today I leave the club I love, hoping that one day, they will need me again, and that I’ll be back, my tiny little cog in the big machine, my sense of grandoise not lost on me with the self-importance of this post.  I’m by no means an important loss, but it’s an important loss to me.

A deep-sea creature rarely seen by humans called the oarfish has washed ashore in Mexico! Legend has it that this mysterious “doomsday fish” only emerges from the ocean’s depths when disaster is near 👀

@AgentP22 Makes sense, the UK has become a bit of a third world country when it comes to quality of life. I'd rather work from home in Finland myself.

‘3-4-3 isn’t gonna work’ We were missing FIVE first team players. It’s been ONE game. Did he think the system didn’t work against English teams when Sporting used it to batter City? Far too soon for this.

Inheritance Tax shouldn't even be a thing. Work hard all your life to leave your family something when you're gone, and the government goes and takes 40% of it's value 😂

You can choose only 1. No ifs, buts, maybes, you can chose one completely or the other completely, so save yourself the whatabouttery. A. You become a pro footballer for your hated rivals. You play 10 years for them and become a club legend. You'll have earned £10m in your career. B. You become a pro footballer for the club you love. Your first game, you start at home, full house, you get the " one of our own" sung but 5 minutes in you have a career ending injury and never play again. Ever. You will have earned £200k in your time as a pro. Chose one. And don't lie.
