@Phil__Smith When will the Sunderland Echo strat backing the best ownership we’ve had in the last 50 years?

Qs and comments for #onthewhistle tomorrow? #SAFC 🔴⚪️📹

@Phil__Smith @RichMennear Shame the Sunderland Echo decided to trash the ownership after our most successful period in a Generation

I know it's not always been sparkling second half of season but 50 points, two derby wins, in the race for Europe on final day... Throw AFCON in the mix as well, it's an absolute 10/10 job from RLB this season.

@JamesCopley_ @sunechosafc Great to hear you’re backing the team for a change and not trashing the ownership James

Sunderland come from behind to win and keep their European hopes alive. Le Fée superb, Brobbey fantastic, O’Nien excellent off the bench, and Roefs huge again. Régis Le Bris’ positive changes won that game. Into the final day with something to play for. BUZZING! #SAFC

@AndyBurnhamGM That went well Ha way the Lads

Campaigning at the match with Winstanley Blues! 💙

@ZackPolanski Suggest you pay your taxes before you lecture us

The Green Party are the party that can stop Reform. They have billionaire donors. But we have people power. Join us: join.greenparty.org.uk

@LordPidge @RokerReport Agreed Although I might have brought Talbi on

@RokerReport When Omar got injured I would have moved Nordi in to the middle, moved Hume to right back and brought Rigg on the right Nothing against Luke

HT: Everton 1-0 Sunderland Thoughts on the first half performance? #SAFC

@GoodwinMJ Comfortably

Could Reform beat Labour in Makerfield? 💯.

@JuliaHB1 @AngelaRayner Why wouldn’t she Oh….,,,

Please publish your correspondence with HMRC @AngelaRayner

@ThrillaRilla369 Yep

Should retired people be fully exempt from tax after a lifetime of work? Yes or No?

@deGourlay Yep

So it seems HMRC policy is, don't bother paying your stamp duty, until someone exposes you haven't, then you can pay it without penalty.

@sanchezcastejon Didn’t take Gordon long to jump on a plane Hope he went economy and is staying in a Travel- Lodge? Presumably that will be declared?

He recibido hoy a Gordon Brown, Enviado Especial de Reino Unido para las Finanzas Globales y la Cooperación, y ex primer ministro. Compartimos la urgencia de renovar el multilateralismo frente a los desafíos globales. España está lista para cooperar en áreas como la gobernanza de la IA, la salud global, la justicia económica o la biotecnología.

@AndyBurnhamGM Hmm No guarantees here Be interesting to see whether the people see through these political shenanigans

I can confirm that I will be requesting the permission of the NEC to stand in the Makerfield by-election. I grew up in this area and have lived here for 25 years. I care deeply about it and its people. I know they have been let down by national politics. Ten years ago, I decided to leave Westminster. Why? Because, after 16 years, I came to the conclusion that our national political system does not work for areas like ours. I learnt this fighting its failure to invest in the Wigan borough, for justice for the Hillsborough families and against its treatment of Greater Manchester during the pandemic. Over the last decade, I have been challenging this failure from the outside and building a new and better way of doing politics. We have built Greater Manchester into the fastest-growing city-region in the UK and put buses back under public control, introducing a £2 fare cap to help people with cost-of-living pressures. However, there is only so much that can be done from Greater Manchester. Much bigger change is needed at a national level if everyday life is to be made more affordable again. This is why I now seek people’s support to return to Parliament: to bring the change we have brought to Greater Manchester to the whole of the UK and make politics work properly for people. Millions are struggling and they need the Labour Government to succeed. It has already made changes to make life better for them in its first two years. After this week, we owe it to people to come back together as a Labour movement, giving the Prime Minister and the Government the space and stability they need as the by-election takes place. I want to recognise the difficult decision taken by Josh Simons and the sacrifice he and his family are making. I have worked closely with him as Mayor on issues like flooding and illegal waste dumping and have seen first-hand how effective he has been. He has put the communities of Makerfield first, made a real difference for them and should take great pride in that. Finally, I truly do not take a single vote for granted and will work hard to regain the trust of people in the Makerfield constituency, many of whom have long supported our party but lost faith in recent times. We will change Labour for the better and make it a party you can believe in again. ENDS

@afneil Interesting timing Anybody would think it’s been coordinated I get a fine if I pay my Dart Charge late She doesn’t pay £40k But that’s okay Really?

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

@JuliaHB1 It stinks

How on earth has Angela Rayner been "cleared" by HMRC? She didn't pay the extra £40,000 stamp duty that was due. She didn't take the specialist tax advice on her flat purchase that she was advised to take. She failed to pay the extra stamp duty that she, as Housing Secretary, had brought in for second home purchasers. For HMRC not to issue a fine means they judged her decision as "reasonable care" having been taken, or it was possibly "careless", but not a "deliberate" underpayment. She clearly did not take "reasonable care" to ensure her tax was correct. And if it was "careless", it was *deliberate* carelessness. Do you seriously think that if YOU underpaid your taxes by £40,000 as the then Deputy Prime Minister did, that you would get away without a fine? Sorry, but this stinks.

@Keir_Starmer Hilarious

My government will end the status quo that has failed working people. We will build a stronger, fairer Britain.

@FabrizioRomano Le Bris

🚨🗳️ Official: Premier League Manager of the Season nominees! 🇮🇪 Keith Andrews 🇪🇸 Mikel Arteta 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 Michael Carrick 🇪🇸 Pep Guardiola 🇪🇸 Andoni Iraola 🇫🇷 Regis Le Bris Who’s your winner?

@ZackPolanski It means someone who pays their taxes presumably?

The next Labour leader must move decisively away from the status quo to beat Reform. That means giving power and wealth to working class people. It means a democratic revolution, rent controls and public ownership of water. It means someone who isn't Wes Streeting.

@AngelaRayner Strange, how I’m fined if I pay my Dart Charge late Yet you can pay £40k late and that’s okay Heyho Guess it’s okay Except it’s not

I welcome HMRC’s conclusion, which has cleared me of any wrongdoing. I have been exonerated by HMRC of the accusation that I deliberately sought to avoid tax. When purchasing a home of my own with a mortgage, I did not own any other property and had no personal financial interest in the court-instructed trust set up to manage my son’s financial award. I was advised by experts that I should pay stamp duty at the standard rate. I set out to pay the correct amount of tax. I took reasonable care and acted in good faith, based on the expert advice I received, and HMRC has accepted this. I have always sought to act with integrity, and I believe politicians should be held to high standards - that is why I resigned from government and cooperated fully with HMRC.  I wanted to ensure that I paid every penny that I owed, and have done so. I am relieved that my family can now move on - and that I can get on with my job.

@LindaR39 @UKLabour @Keir_Starmer Hilarious

I just don’t understand how voters, and pundits expect @UKLabour @Keir_Starmer to turn a country’s fortunes & people’s lives round in just 22 months when they inherited public services on their knees & debt through the roof. I think they’ve done a great job in a short period.

@Keir_Starmer @GordonBrown Jeepers That’s gonna terrify Nigel

Today I’m pleased to appoint @GordonBrown as my Special Envoy on Global Finance and Cooperation. As Britain’s longest-serving Chancellor, Gordon is well placed to work with our international allies to build a stronger Britain and boost our country’s security and resilience.
