@Anfi3ld1892 @sportingintel Only winning one champions league at city, (and none at Bayern,) is a massive black mark on his record.

@sportingintel 😭😭😭 Nick your probably right but no other manager even with 115 charges and unlimited budget is winning the way he won lets be real

Be fascinating to know if he’ll also be stepping back from whatever duties he’s had at Al Jazira Club in Abu Dhabi during the same period. So many questions … never answered.

@SomeLankyMan @chrisrobwill You can tell by the sadness in his eyes.

The fella was literally at Villa Park in April ‘89 and talks about when the news came through. You can come at him for a lot of things, but don’t try and insinuate he’s not a proper Evertonian.

@Sam_Gorst You're meant to represent the people of South Liverpool, try and maintain a bit of professionalism.

I am so glad I boycotted Genovision again this year. Fuck Israel. Free Palestine.

@joelrossradio @2FreshTheo The "assist record," when did that become a thing? The fact that Fernandes cares about that tells you everything you need to know about him.

@2FreshTheo It’s already equalised mate Need one more to break it

Mbeumo come on we almost equalled the assist record 😭😭

@frannyefc76 @SkySportsPL @EmeraldBluesIre He let himself down with that 3rd goal!

@SkySportsPL @EmeraldBluesIre The manager and players letting him down there oth that shit show today that stadium should have been full

Seamus Coleman says goodbye to the fans in his final home game for Everton 💙

@Ye_Olde_Holborn You're wrong, he'll win that seat comfortably.

I reckon an anon in a Frank Sidebottom mask could take down Andy Burnham in Makerfield

@Thefootyfan He sounds like he would rather be any where else, I think he's outdated, a lot of people genuinely like Eurovision (and not in an ironic way.)

@MikePhillips50 The constant snide comments is the humour, and it’s hilarious

Time to bin Graham Norton, it's just constant snide comments, no humour, bring in Rylan #Eurovisión2026

@Faymondo73 To each their own.

@MikePhillips50 Not rock fans here. Prefer a beat.

@Faymondo73 Of course some people take it too far, but he's got to go.

@MikePhillips50 I have no problem with that. Calling him a “c-bomb” and other such shit I’ve read is out of order.

No problem if you want Slot out but some of the things I’ve seen him called is outrageous. The fella brought us a league title.

I have been loyal to every Labour leader since I delivered my first leaflet as a 12 year old. But, like many colleagues, I’ve been expressing concerns for some time about the direction of travel of our party in government. Last week’s local election results brought such concerns into sharp focus. Our party is the greatest organ for social change this country has ever seen but, if we carry on down this road, we face an existential threat and risk letting down the very people we are here to represent. Through the unstinting work of Labour Councils across the country, we have delivered some remarkable things. Last week hundreds of them lost their jobs because people on the doorstep told us that they didn’t feel the government was on their side. Many of them specifically blamed the Prime Minister for failing to deliver. We ignore the electorate at our peril. In July 2024, my party was elected with a mandate to deliver change. When the country voted for it, they did not expect tinkering around the edges or business as usual; they expected meaningful change that would begin to reverse more than a decade of decline. Let’s be clear: our government has delivered some transformational things. Stronger rights for working people. A genuine shift towards putting more power closer to the people. Real attempts to tackle some of the injustices and inequalities that have held communities back for too long. But too often, significant achievements have been overshadowed by chaos, drift, and a lack of clarity about who we are and what we’re here to do. People don’t expect perfection from politicians. But they do expect purpose. They expect leadership and vision. And right now, too many feel they’re not seeing either. Our party and our country are at a critical moment. We need a serious contest to decide Labour’s future - and that means widening the field, not narrowing it. Andy Burnham should be allowed to stand in the Makerfield by-election. I’ve known Andy a long time. I’ve seen how he leads, how he connects with people, and how deeply he believes politics should not be transactional but focused on improving lives. At a time when we’re losing support in all directions, he is someone who can bring people together. Someone who understands our country, who connects with communities beyond Westminster, and who knows how to turn Labour values into practical change. The Labour Party has always been at its best when it has been bold, rooted in the lives of working people, and confident enough to have the arguments that matter. This is one of those moments. If we’re serious about rebuilding trust, reconnecting with the country, and delivering the kind of change people voted for in 2024, then we have to seize it. It is the chance to elect someone who can take the country forward and deliver the genuine, progressive change that areas like mine are crying out for. It is about hope and not despair. Politics is crying out for leadership that feels grounded, authentic and rooted in people’s day to day lives rather than Westminster psychodrama. Andy has shown that kind of leadership in office. Labour shouldn’t be afraid of that contest. We should welcome it.

@MetroMayorSteve You should stand as MP, it would be great for you two to continue your partnership in Westminster.

@AyoCaesar You're right, but doesn't that severely limit how far this incarnation of the Greens will ultimately go? Or is the Greens long term aim to get 20-30 seats in parliament and hold the balance of power?

This week's results is a demonstration of just how dramatically the Greens have recomposed their core vote. They've turned away from the liberal, well-off voters who used to be their bread and butter, and gone all in on multiracial working class + downwardly mobile graduates.

If you look at where the Greens won in Haringey, it was Tottenham, Tottenham, Tottenham. David Lammy was at the count, apparently looking anxious. And I can see why!

@BelowTheBelt_ Knock down aside, Dubois looked really good tonight. Can't see Wardley being the same after that. His corner were very brave on behalf of their fighter.

Frank Warren says there is a rematch clause for Dubois v Wardley 2 That would’ve taken a lot out of Wardley. Not sure that’s a good idea.

@AyoCaesar I suppose we will never know for sure, just how many votes that one retweet cost him

Anecdotally, Zack Polanski's Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Fortnight has come up on the doorstep more frequently in the leafier parts of the borough (where there's more mainstream media engagement and trust amongst voters). Can he do it without them? Today will tell.

In Haringey (the cradle of civilisation, and the place I call home), the Greens target wards are the poorer and more diverse parts of the borough. That doesn't come without risks – namely, relying on lower turnout voters – but it's why the real test of the Greens' reorientation is in North and East inner London.

@narindertweets @AyoCaesar Take the hint

@AyoCaesar Some don't even offer a fee! Dreadful

One of the big broadcasters asked me to do some overnight punditry, in their central London studio at 4am. The catch? Their fee was £50, and they wouldn't pay for a cab. So, at £30 each way, I'd be paying a tenner for the privilege. Guys... how bad are your budget cuts?!

@poolhayes93 @MerrynSW It's not his accent that makes him sound financially illiterate, it's the answers he gives.

@MerrynSW No what is extraordinary is because he speaks with a working class accent everyone assumes he is economically illiterate. This one clip is doing a lot of heavy lifting for everyone who disagrees with them. The wealthiest hoarding more and more wealth is ruining this country.

Extraordinary thing here is only partly his total confusion about how income tax and IHT work plus utter ignorance of the trust system. Main bit that threw me is that he doesn't know how NI works. And thinks he has paid way more tax than he has. How does this happen?

@PhilipProudfoot @mattzarb Polanski's retweet is his "bigoted woman" moment.

Oh look, now they are bothered about purdah.
