@SusieMGoss I commute every day and it is such a depressing experience. @Heidi_Labour

Hi @GWRHelp, what compensation are you offering to passengers who’ve paid £90 to travel on the massively over-booked, standing room only 19:04 train from Paddington to Plymouth? How can you force people to stand for hours when tickets cost so much? Disgusting!

@Steven_Swinford More tax revenue for them to waste

Wes Streeting has this morning set out his tax plans - specifically bringing capital gains tax into line with income tax He says that the current system is unfair because it penalises work Higher or additional rate taxpayers will pay 24% on gains in the current financial year. Streeting said that the rates should mirror income tax bands - so 40% for higher rate taxpayers and 45% for additional rate taxpayers He says that the approach could raise £12billion a year Streeting said: “A member of my family is a cleaner in Lancashire. She pays a higher tax rate on her salary than her landlord pays for the growing value of the home she lives in. She slogs her guts out, he puts in far less effort, yet the state rewards him more than her. And we wonder why people are angry. “The system is penalising work. It’s not fair and it’s bad for our economy. We need a wealth tax that works. A pound made from simply owning assets should not be taxed less than a pound made from a hard day's work. We can do it in a way that is pro-growth, pro-entrepreneur and pro-work.”

@SkyFootball @SkySportsNews Not a saints fan but this has been a big club like Man City or Chelsea would have been a fine. 2-tier justice.

BREAKING: Southampton have been expelled from the Championship Play-Offs with Middlesbrough reinstated 🚨

@CliffMc84 Rangers should do whatever it takes to get Derek McInnes and Laurence Shankland. There won’t be 2 more motivated figures in Scottish football next year!

Have a listen to this. It’s the best analysis you’ll hear on what’s going on in Scottish football. It’s institutional corruption and it’s effecting not only Rangers but EVERY other Scottish club.

@LesPurves The Specials

Pick ONE. No nostalgia points. No diplomacy. Elvis Costello — This Year’s Model The Specials — More Specials XTC — English Settlement Echo & the Bunnymen — Heaven Up Here Four very different visions of British music at its peak — nervous new wave, socially charged ska, pastoral art-pop, and cathedral-sized post-punk atmosphere. Which one survives? 👇 #ElvisCostello #TheSpecials #XTC #EchoAndTheBunnymen #ThisYearsModel #MoreSpecials #EnglishSettlement #HeavenUpHere #PostPunk #NewWave #AlternativeMusic #2Tone #ArtRock #VinylCommunity #ClassicAlbums #MusicHistory #NowSpinning

@SkySportsPL If that was at the other end it would have been disallowed. Stop watching now. Go lower league with no VAR and less corruption

"I think that's an absolute shocker in every single way!" Gary Neville reacts to the referee overruling VAR to allow Cunha's goal to stand.

@SkyNews As Brian Clough said to his Leeds players. ‘Throw your medals in the bin lads, you won them all by cheating’

"Britain's future lies with Europe - and one day, back in the European Union." Former health secretary Wes Streeting says the UK needs a new special relationship with Europe, as he calls Brexit a 'catastrophic mistake'. trib.al/zxwWsWg 📺 Sky 501, Virgin 602

@SkyFootball @SkySportsNews Means nothing

BREAKING: Celtic win the 2025/26 Scottish Premiership! 🏆🍀

@ibroxrocks Slap on the wrist or no action incoming.

I’m not quite sure how this will be our fault, but I admit I’m looking forward to seeing how the SFACelticSPFL* spin that it is. *no need to delete as applicable, it’s the same thing.

@campbellclaret @CelticFC @JamTarts As Brian Clough said to his Leeds Players, throw your medals in the bin lads as you win them all by cheating. Disgrace. Another nail in the coffin of competitive Scottish football.

What an amazing season (and final match) turnaround for @CelticFC ... Hard not to feel sorry for @JamTarts who have given 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 football the most remarkable season in decades but honestly Celtic is a truly magical club in so many ways. And surely Martin O’Neill wins SPOTY coach of the year plus lifetime achievement!! Ps news broadcasters - unless the 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 FA Cup Final ends 9-8 with ten red cards 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 title IS THE BIGGEST SPORTS STORY of the day !!

@owenjonesjourno There is no anti-trans movement amongst normal decent people. Stop making shit up.

Britain is now only just above Russia and Hungary on trans rights. We are below Armenia, Romania, Kosovo, Turkey, Serbia and Belarus. The anti-trans movement has, for now, won a decisive victory in Britain. It will not last. This historic injustice will be rectified.

@Heidi_Labour just reporting in on the weekly travel shit show from Euston. I’m having to move to London as the trains make living in the north and commuting impossible. Sort it out.

@ClaireCoutinho @Jacob_Rees_Mogg Yes it’s a kick in the teeth for honest working people. Why did you do nothing about it in the 14 years you were in power?

People can now get the equivalent of a £71,000 salary on benefits. Working people on £30,000 or £40,000 are asking themselves, why do I bother working so hard? This is not sustainable.

@TaylorMod Great 10 albums and Setting Sons my no 1 too. Changed my outlook on life, more than just a record.

Top 10 albums 👀

@grahamruthven @craigfowler86 Clear and obvious turned into trying to find something

Last night felt like a watershed moment that will ultimately lead to some sort of change around VAR in Scotland. This can’t continue. Our referees aren’t good enough to use it and the quality of VAR isn’t good enough to be used.

@Follow_Follow_ I’m a Swindon fan with no skin in the game in Scotland but if Celtic win on Saturday it is meaningless and devalues Scottish football.

Scottish football should be the talk of the footballing world this morning for an incredible reason. And it is. But instead of being a wonderful story of a rare achievement it’s the darkest tale you can tell about a sport.

@afneil ‘Cleared’ is a stretch. Cleared means she had to pay nothing as she got it right first time.

BREAKING NEWS — Angela Rayner says she’s been cleared by HMRC. She’s paid stamp duty due without a penalty being added.

@ibroxrocks Not a Celtic or Rangers fan but that just looks like corruption. Get the ball in the area and VAR will find a way. Disgraceful. Come on Hearts at the weekend.

Rest of the world seeing what we all know. The game up here is run for and by one club.

The Who playing “Pinball Wizard” live at Kilburn in 1977 shows how a song Pete Townshend once dismissed as clumsy became one of the band’s most unstoppable rock moments. It was written to fit Tommy, but on stage it takes on a life of its own: loud, strange, theatrical, and completely electric.
