If people are calling for @Keir_Starmer to go, he must be doing a terrible job
And yet he isn't
Think of the mess Labour inherited
Look at the progress made in under 2 years
Look beyond the right-wing media campaign

@WTIDPOD Yes, but as a player/coach. Barry should return not as the main man in midfield, but as a back-up to a new playmaker.

This should be one of the top stories. Not a peep on @BBCNews early evening bulletin. Even more sinister there’s no mention anywhere on the BBC News App #GetHarborneOut

@bbctheview @DeborahMeaden @hilarybennmp @bbclaurak @ChrisMasonBBC @hzeffman please note. If BBC News can’t show impartiality and hold Reform properly to account it’s time @lisanandy investigated the persistent bias at our public broadcaster.

"Keir Starmer was elected with a five year mandate and, quiet properly, he intends to see it through."
NI Secretary @hilarybennmp says the PM is a serious politician for serious times
"The alternative is to go back to what the Tories did... what I call 'and the next syndrome'.

@storchyowl @michaelestorch David, it’s all a bit of a shock to Wednesdayites - an owner who communicates with the fans and actually knows what he’s doing. Building the foundations for a solid future. Many thanks from a 70-year-old Owl. Safe travels. #WAWAW

Although still basking in the glow from our dream like Saturday, this past week was one of rolling up our sleeves and going to work in preparation for the summer and beyond. David B, @michaelestorch and I met with the leadership team advancing our plans for the training pitch, summer training schedule for the squad, spent time assessing current squad, addressed multiple work plans for Hillsborough, starting with critical safety items work beginning this Monday and more.
Our countdown till start of Cup series is 91 calendar days . Lots to do in short window but the team led by David Bruce is committed to do so.
We will keep you updated on our progress. Expect some exciting news next week .
Wishing everyone all the best,
David, Michael, Tom and David

There was a time when a European final belonged to the supporters who dragged their club there.
Not anymore.
When Aston Villa were handed roughly 11,000 tickets for a Europa League final in a 70,000-plus stadium, the number itself told the story. UEFA can package the event however it likes — “festival of football”, “European showpiece”, “global celebration” — but the modern European final is no longer built around supporters. It is built around clients.
The supporters fund the journey. The corporates inherit the destination.
Villa fans will have spent thousands following the club across Europe. Flights, hotels, time off work, loyalty schemes built over years. Yet when the final arrives, huge sections of the stadium are reserved for sponsors, hospitality guests, executives, delegates and “neutral” allocations that often end up on resale sites within hours.
And supporters are expected to accept it.
UEFA’s defence is familiar. Sponsors fund competitions. Broadcasters need space. Hospitality drives revenue. All true. But football crossed a line when the event surrounding the final became more important than the supporters inside it.
The optics are awful because fans can see it themselves.
A finalist gets 11,000 tickets while corporate packages costing thousands remain available. Genuine supporters scramble through ballots with lottery-like odds, while neutral areas fill with tourists taking photos during the warm-up.
And UEFA wonders why resentment grows.
Supporters are constantly called “the lifeblood of the game” until ticket allocations are discussed. Then they become an inconvenience to work around premium inventory.
Football did not become Europe’s dominant sport because sponsors created atmosphere. The noise, colour and emotion UEFA sells globally every season is generated by match-going supporters — the same people increasingly pushed aside at the biggest games.
The “neutral fan” concept is perhaps the biggest fiction of all. In theory it promotes access. In reality it fuels resale markets, inflated prices and thousands travelling ticketless out of desperation.
UEFA could change it tomorrow. Finalists could receive 70 per cent of the stadium combined. Corporate sections could shrink. Hospitality would still exist.
But that would mean sacrificing revenue.
And modern football has shown repeatedly which side wins that argument.

@superTV247 @superTV247 Not really on the ball, are you? Tess and Vernon are splitting up.

I wonder how ITV’s crisis is going?
sᴜᴘᴇʀ ᴛᴠ@superTV247
🚨 ITV are reportedly in a panic about the ratings for #ThisMorning and are planning to REPLACE Cat & Ben after just 2 years… with Tess & Vernon! “A top-secret plot is being hatched to lure the duo, with bosses reportedly ‘keen to move quickly’ to secure a revamp.”

Nigel Farage and the £5 Mn 'gift'.
Runs away from Sky's Cathy Newman.
Cancels his appearance on the Laura Kuenssberg show.
Lies with a consistency that would make Boris Johnson blush.
This man is a CON MAN with zero shame.

@londonbluenews Why would Iraola risk his career by going to Chelsea? He’s surely looking for a top job.
