This evil man wants your kids to have a living wage and affordable housing. Oh, and a free NHS. He must be stopped

If any benefit should be means tested, it's the six-figure annual Public Duty Cost Allowance paid to former prime ministers

When you see the relentless attacks from other parties on the Greens across the media remember this: They hate our plan to end Rip Off Britain. They don't want a wealth tax. They don't want public ownership & lower bills. They're trying everything in their power to stop us.

I can’t believe that City are holding the FA Youth Cup final against United in the 7,000 capacity Joie Stadium, citing that ongoing construction problems have ruled out the use of the Etihad. In our last appearance in a final, United had over 72,000 in attendance. United have asked to switch the match to Old Trafford, but City have declined. For some of those lads this could be the biggest game of their career. City’s stance has possibly denied them the chance to play it on the biggest stage. #MUFC #UTFR #GGMU #ManchesterUnited #ManUtd #ManUnited

The Green Party have proposed a policy where the highest paid person in a company could only earn 10x as much as the lowest, currently the ratio is over 1000x in some companies. Do you agree?

I think the fact I’ve seen no one go after Senne Lammens for his mistake yesterday really just highlights how good he has been this season. Took him nearly a whole season to make a mistake which is very impressive for a goalkeeper of his age. Keep your head up Senne. ❤️🇧🇪

Charlotte Church sang From the River to the Sea at a fundraising event for Palestinians and now all the usual people are screaming antisemitism and trying to cancel her. RT if you stand with Charlotte Church and Palestine.

Manchester United were happy to keep a manager who finished 15th last season, but there are now doubts about keeping a manager whose form since taking over has him in 1st position?

But yeh, raising the minimum wage by 20% is insane…

Reform, Labour and the Tories all take money from oil & gas giants and private healthcare interests. That tells you who they’re really working for. The Green Party doesn’t take that money. We answer to you - and to the future of our planet. Vote Green on Thursday. 💚

Pay hasn’t kept up with living costs for 20+ years. That’s the root problem. Not welfare. Not “workshy people”. Not small businesses. When full-time wages don’t cover basics, the gap gets filled by debt, hardship or the state. Until that mismatch is fixed, nothing else works.

Vote Green Party • Implement Leveson • Ban political donations • Axe Bedroom Tax • End stop and search • Restore EMA • Replace FPTP with PR • £3bn for NHS Dentistry • Nationalise The Crown Estate • Tax on Private Jets • 2% tax on Billionaires Vote Green Party

Carrick deserves every bit of praise, of course, but I just want to give Steve Holland a special mention. The tactical genius behind the scenes. He has completely transformed this side from a tactical point of view, and he deserves so much praise for getting #MUFC back in the UCL

How the fk are people working full time on minimum wage in the UK meant to actually survive alone? The maths just doesn't add up: Take home pay after tax, national insurance and pension contributions for a 37.5 hour work week (because let's face it, all these employers who really care about you don't pay you for your breaks so you're not getting a full 40 hours) is around £1700 You're lucky to rent anywhere nowadays under £800. Council Tax is now around £220 a month. Utilities are at least another £350. Then there's the weekly food shop, you're looking at a minimum of £70 a week. Just with the basics in this scenario you're left with £50 to last you the whole month. And that's without even adding transport or anything going wrong. Minimum.wage in the UK does not cover minimum living requirements. Something really needs to change. No wonder nobody wants to work anymore.

£15 minim wage doesn’t seem so crazy next to a £10 pint does it

The Dire Straits song “Sultans of Swing” was born on an ordinary night in 1977, in a nearly empty pub in south London. Mark Knopfler, who was teaching English at the time and had just formed the band with his brother David, John Illsley, and Pick Withers, went inside to shelter from the rain. In a corner of the venue, a group of aging Dixieland jazz musicians was playing with total dedication for just a handful of drunk patrons who weren’t even paying attention to them. The band sounded mediocre, dressed in outdated suits and with no audience to applaud them. But at the end of their performance, the singer announced in all seriousness: “Good evening and thank you… We are the Sultans of Swing.” Knopfler found the contrast between the humble, dreary scene and that grandiose, pompous name quite amusing. He went home and that very night began writing the lyrics, describing those passionate musicians who played for the love of music, regardless of whether anyone was listening. He first composed the music on a National Steel guitar, but the song truly came to life when he played it on his newly purchased 1961 Fender Stratocaster: the riffs and chord changes flowed effortlessly. “Sultans of Swing” was one of the tracks on the demo they recorded on a shoestring budget at Pathway Studios. They sent it to the radio, and DJ Charlie Gillett put it on rotation, which piqued a record label’s interest. It became the first single from Dire Straits’ self-titled debut album in 1978. Although it took a few months to take off, it ended up being a worldwide hit and launched the band to stardom. One of the greatest songs of all time.

Michael Carrick has restored Manchester United to the Champions League. He has restored hope and pride. He has just won a huge game against ancient rivals. Carrick now has 10 wins, two draws and only two defeats in 14 games in charge. A team that bordered on a distressed asset … looking a force again. An academy that could have worried about the pathway for prospects being blocked…have hope again. A fanbase frustrated by a team drifting … energised again. A club together again, Manchester United. As job auditions go, Michael Carrick could hardly have done much more. Deserves the job. United have tried bigger names and not fared as well. Carrick wants the job. He cares about the club. He has good coaches like Steve Holland supporting him. It’s Carrick, you know how hard he’ll work to make it work. #MUNLIV

Every senior journalist who tells the Green Party that £15 an hour is too much to pay an ordinary person should be asked why they think it’s acceptable for them to rake in hundreds of thousands of pounds while people struggle to make ends meet.

Fingers crossed for Sir Alex 🤞🙏

33 years ago today – United were about to be crowned champions for the first time in 26 years.... ... Gary Pallister was the only first team regular who was goalless for the season... .... Pally was put on free-kicks for the game and then this happened in injury time👌

The most beautiful football top EVER! Manchester United should bring it back!
