@BillOReilly @KatiePavlich @NewsNation What a load of gold-standard crap. Show some respect as you do to Putin. You start a war without consulting or even informing your allies- a phone call 5 mins before launch would be fine since you don't trust/respect them - and you expect them to join a bad war?! Grow up

@Thebestfigen You know you're going on stage, stage is higher level, audience will be looking up. Experienced star wears short skirt. Audience look up and see personal effects. Absolute shock and star is unhappy. It is possible that audience also do not want to see your bits!

@tntsports 1/ Is there a reason why TNT Sports Ultimate tv channel 433 does not have subtitles? I pay for HD and now can't watch it with subtitles, instead have to watch 430 Sports 1 HD which is very poor quality. 2/can the size of the subtitles be changed on chn 430?

Many Chelsea supporters think the decision to sell Chelsea FC to the US consortium BlueCo in 2022 was unwise and has worked out badly. Just to remind you, the culture secretary responsible for approving the deal was Nadine Dorries, and the prime minister was Boris Johnson.

@DanNeidle One of the biggest professional errors was not restricting the use of the word "accountant" to fully qualified accountants, registered with the statutory bodies. Now any person can prance around as one. The losers are the public

More tax nonsense from "influencer" Samuel Leeds. "I just sold my castle. On paper, I lost about £3.5m. But here is the part most people will not understand. It is also a tax write-off... the loss can be set-off against profits" No it isn't, and no you can't. Oh dear.

@22blanco22 @afneil @ArmchairAdml You lost credibility and your argument here, "and if not for the japanese actions at pearl harbour, Americans won’t be joining the war". Yes, US only joined when they suffered a massive loss. I think we also hv the right to wait and see. PS, as a Canadian, you shld know better

People harping on end game make me boil. You guys were few months away from all being a German colony if not for the American. And they’ve kept the peace through the NATO alliance an even having boots on ground in almost every country. Churchill and penning weren’t talking about endgame when they were begging FDR for help and if not for the japanese actions at pearl harbour, Americans won’t be joining the war.

You want the NATO allies to join you in a war you started without ever consulting these allies about the war or explaining your war aims. We’re meant just to meekly fall in line. You recently supported a US invasion of a NATO ally (Denmark/Greenland) but now you want these same allies to join your war. Your president disparaged and misrepresented the role of NATO allies in Afghanistan. But now you want them to join with you again in a war of your making. You went to war with Iran without a thought of how to keep the Strait of Hormuz open and without involving your allies in the matter. But now you want the NATO allies to bail you out, even though there’s still no plan for Hormuz. You want the NATO allies to join you in a war in which you still cannot articulate the endgame. Or what victory would look like. You went to war thinking the Iranian regime would quickly topple, that Tehran would not attack the Gulf States or close Hormuz. Why would we align with such Epic Stupidity? You and other know-nothing blowhards started this war all on your own. You can finish it on your own. If you’re able to …
Lindsey Graham@LindseyGrahamSC

Just spoke to @POTUS about our European allies’ unwillingness to provide assets to keep the Strait of Hormuz functioning, which benefits Europe far more than America. I have never heard him so angry in my life. I share that anger given what’s at stake. The arrogance of our allies to suggest that Iran with a nuclear weapon is of little concern and that military action to stop the ayatollah from acquiring a nuclear bomb is our problem not theirs is beyond offensive. The European approach to containing the ayatollah’s nuclear ambitions have proven to be a miserable failure. The repercussions of providing little assistance to keep the Strait of Hormuz functioning are going to be wide and deep for Europe and America. I consider myself very forward-leaning on supporting alliances, however at a time of real testing like this, it makes me second guess the value of these alliances. I am certain I am not the only senator who feels this way.

@faisalislam We have Council Taxes as an example. How well is that going? I'll start with Bin Collections issues. This is another socialist lunge at our money as they then decide that "the money is not enough". Who will be the muggins that end up paying more taxes?! Fiscally neutral...not

NEW Blimey - devolution of some proportion of income tax to some city regions - ie to back incentives for growing cities: Chancellor announces “roadmap for future fiscal devolution to be published at this year's budget” to give “regional leaders control of a share of some national taxes which have for too long been allocated by central governments.” “They will look at income tax alongside other taxes with reforms initially targeted at those places have the greatest capacity to deliver them and the greatest potential to benefit. Now this is not about new taxes, and it's not about higher tax rates, I will not ask taxpayers to pay more. Reforms will be fiscally neutral, …these reforms will represent a permanent transfer of power and resources, not another exercise in local ambition frustrated by central government control, with taxpayers able to see what is being delivered with their money and to hold local leaders to account for the results what I am describing is a genuine break with the past, a generational opportunity for Britain's regions to make their own future”.

Good result for Chelsea: club fined only £10m and given a suspended transfer ban after Premier League found 36 separate undisclosed payments totalling £47.5m made “to 12 persons or entities on behalf of the club”. Lenient sanctions. No sporting sanctions. Yet these are serious offences, as the sanction agreement between the PL and Chelsea makes clear, stating “they were not only obvious and deliberate breaches of the rules but also because they involved deception and concealment in relation to financial matters”. Yet no points deductions. Just a manageable (if record) fine and a “suspended one-year first-team player transfer ban (suspended for two years)”. Surely they gained a sporting advantage by recruiting such players? So surely a sporting sanction should be in order? And where's the consistency? In 2008, Luton Town received a 10-point deduction for irregularities in dealing with agents (nb from FA). There still could be some further sanctions by the FA following its "ongoing investigation". PL points to mitigating factors: current owners Clearlake/Todd Boehly in May 2022 voluntarily self-reported potential historical breaches from the Roman Abramovich era. Club co-operated extensively and helped provide (with others) 10,000 documents for PL investigation. PL established “that between 2011 and 2018, undisclosed payments by third parties associated with the club were made to players, unregistered agents and other third parties”. Payments related to the purchases of players including Eden Hazard, Willian, Samuel Eto’o, David Luiz, Andre Schurrle and Nemanja Matic - there is no suggestion any were aware of the illicit payments. The detailed work of the investigators – and level of Clearlake’s co-operation – is impressive. The sanctions less so. It is a legitimate debate: should a club be punished for offences under a previous owner? Yes, most fans of other clubs would scream. It's a deterrent. And the value of those players' contribution and subsequent sales arguably still benefits the club. PL also investigated “potential breaches of the Premier League’s Youth Development Rules, committed by a former senior employee, relating to the club’s registration of Academy players between 2019 and 2022”. Again, self-reported by the club, this time in 2025. Chelsea punished with £750,000 fine and immediate nine-month ban from registering academy players from PL and EFL clubs. #CFC
