Is Billy Sharp the best EFL striker of all time? 🎯⚽

Before I was an MP, I worked on the current series of polymer banknotes at the Bank of England. So I know how decisions about our currency are made, and why they matter. Nigel Farage clearly doesn’t. What he conveniently ignores is that central banks regularly issue new banknote series. It’s how they stay ahead of counterfeiters and keep our currency secure. It’s technical. It’s essential. And it’s completely routine. So why is he manufacturing outrage? Because Farage and Reform UK have spent months attacking the Bank of England itself. They’ve demanded the Bank halt quantitative tightening. 💷 They’ve pushed to stop interest being paid on central bank reserves, which would completely destroy monetary policy transmission. ⚠️ And Farage has even suggested replacing the Governor with someone aligned to his agenda. Let’s be clear: Politicians leaning on central banks is how you spook markets and undermine confidence in the economy. Bank of England independence, brought in by the last Labour government, exists for a reason. To keep markets and household finances stable. I back the Bank to keep our currency secure, not to be dragged into political point-scoring. So if Farage spent half as much time understanding how the Bank works as he does attacking it, we’d hear a lot less of this nonsense. ❌

Forced choice head to head on preferred prime minister. 🌹Starmer v.narrowly edges Farage and Polanski but loses to Davey and Badenoch 🌳Badenoch wins all four head to heads 🔶Davey beats Starmer & v.narrowly Farage, but loses to Badenoch ➡️ Farage narrowly beats Polanski and loses to Badenoch & v.narrowly Starmer and Davey 💚Polanski loses to Badenoch & more narrowly Farage & v narrowly Starmer

Struggling to accept Fulham blowing Europe season after season by losing games that are absolutely incomprehensible to lose.

Utter rubbish. I knocked on 7,000 doors as a parliamentary candidate in 2024. Top reason for voters going away was Liz Truss, second reason was Party Gate.

If you watched Harry Wilson’s goal catalogue this season you’d probably think he’s the best player in the word

How did the UK economy do in 2025 compared to the OBR's pre-election March 2024 forecasts? Growth 🔵 Forecast 1.9% 🔴 Now 1.4% 👎 Inflation 🔵 Forecast 1.5% 🔴 Now 3.4% 👎 Unemployment 🔵 Forecast 4.4% 🔴 Now 5.1% 👎 Deficit (2025-26) 🔵 Forecast £78bn 🔴 Already £140bn 👎

That's one way to run down the clock... 🤣
