NEW: Nigel Farage, standing outside Havering town hall, describes Reform's results so far as part of a "truly historic shift" in British politics.
"We’ve been so used to thinking about politics in terms of left and right, yet what Reform are able to do is to win in areas that have always been Conservative, but equally, we’re proving in a big way that we could win in areas that Labour has dominated since the end of World War I. It’s a big, big day, not just for our party, but for a complete reshaping of British politics in every way.”
🚨 EXCL: Dan Thomas has apologised after his controversial comments about Mikel Arteta’s touchline behaviour, where he previously suggested it could make an opposition coach “want to punch him in the face.”
Thomas admitted the remark was an “off-hand comment” that came out badly and said he should have expressed himself more carefully. He added that it was never meant to be taken literally and promised to avoid similar language in future, describing it as a “silly” thing to say in hindsight.
The comments had sparked heavy backlash online from Arsenal supporters after the initial discussion aired on television following PSG’s win over Bayern Munich. (Metro) #afc
@Ofcom I want to complain about ESPN sport comments on their program last night where a pundit said that he would punch the Arsenal manager and other pundits suggested that it was a good idea
How do I register a complaint?
🚨🎙️ Roy Keane on Arsenal reaching the Champions League final:
“In recent years, I think FC Barcelona have been the unluckiest team in Europe. Last season, they were knocked out by Inter Milan, and Inter looked much easier in the final than they did against Barcelona. They’re also the team that opened the door for Atlético Madrid to reach the semi-finals.
People are praising Arsenal, but honestly, there’s nothing too special yet. They’ve had a relatively easier pathway to the final.
The real test will come against either Bayern Munich or Paris Saint-Germain, and it definitely won’t be this easy.”
We voted to leave the EU not "move closer".
You do not have a mandate to move us closer to the EU.
You are acting against the wishes of the electorate.
Let me be honest I won’t be happy if we win 2-0. I don’t want a scrappy win, I want a win from 4 goals up the kind that will strike fear into Arsenal and every other club we’ll be facing.
@traceyhsmith@0xRuzy You don’t have clue stop using the Daily Mail for information. We don’t get bankrupted for having cancer. I can see a gp within a day and no one is taking our cities you ignorant clown
@0xRuzy It’s all your “free” stuff you’re actually paying taxes for people! Now you have NO MILITARY, the NHS sucks, immigrants are taking over cities and changing the culture negatively and the lovely BBC lies about it all!
“If Britain was an American state, how wealthy would it be? How many American state are wealthier than the UK in terms of GDP per capita?
The answer will shock you.”
They did a poll and most British people thought Britain would rank around 7th richest.
They were way off.
In terms of GDP per capita, even Mississippi, often seen as America’s poorest state, is richer.
That would make Britain the poorest state in America on that ranking.
The funny part is how confident people were that Britain would rank much higher.
When the interviewees were asked why Britain feels poor, the answered; lack of opportunity, high taxes, rising cost of living, and wages not matching their American counterparts.
Who knew Britain was this poor?

@its_Ninelmo@beingblackie_ I think MA is more into fluid players that can do both side of the game
More like basketball you have a main position but he wants players to be able to change from defensive to attacking in an instant.
@habs_rob@beingblackie_ Hmph worked out really well not having a player who naturally drops in defence like Ø and is not afraid to push the ball forward and can hold up better than Zubi for when we were up against City x2, Southampton and Bournemouth 🤷🏾♂️
@canoncrested He is 16 mates! Do you think he doesn’t have coaches at the club that talk to him every day that know more about football then you and me …
@beingblackie_ Good, not great. I felt more confident with him over Zubimendi, holds up the ball better, looks more confident and he strong. Not afraid to dribble forwards when needed. But the for the millionth time, can we use Nørgaard please?
Arsenal are about to show the world exactly who they are by losing to Fulham today. Their attack can barely score, so this will be a comfortable ride for Fulham.
The world will remember this bottling for years to come.
Prediction: Arsenal 0-1 Fulham.
End.
🚨 BREAKING — IT’S OFFICIAL: President Trump is WITHDRAWING 5,000 US TROOPS from Germany after Chancellor Merz criticized 47’s Iran operation
Good! Tell NATO to take care of themselves.
We don’t need them.
BRING OUR TROOPS HOME!
@Dialsquare10 Can we see the threatening email please? Black out personal details but I’d love to see if it’s threatening or you’re just reading it that way. It probably just reminded you and you’ve thought you’d use it for a few internet points
Got a lovely threatening email from The Arsenal.
If I don’t attend the next two games, I won’t get a ST next season. They’re saying I’ve missed two. I haven’t.
How can a formerly classy club become so rotten and petty?
They think we don’t know why they’re doing this.
