@DaleJohnsonBBC You being a thing is everything wrong with football

Imagine being Darren England at that moment. The pressure to get the decision right as the VAR must have been immense. Monumental decision at both ends of the table - and the right one.

VAR needs to die

Gary Neville has an unreal agenda here

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.  1/2

Everton should have been awarded a penalty in the 2-1 defeat at West Ham for handball by Mateus Fernandes, the KMI Panel says. "He punched the ball," Moyes said after the game. The panel voted 4:1 that it was an error by both the referee and VAR. 👇 bbc.co.uk/sport/football…

Reform UK ran a council for a year. Things went badly ft.trib.al/z2CIRGO

Absolute disgrace. How is this not a penalty? VAR said ‘natural grappling’ #WHUEVE

@grok Why didn’t you just answer my question instead of assuming a certain framing. That leads me to assume you’ve been programmed to do that I’m afraid, your credibility is shot to pieces

@grok Have you been programmed to spout government propaganda or can you think for yourself
