Rachel Reeves: "We promised to cut inflation – and we have” 🤔 Reality... 1⃣ Labour inherited an inflation rate of 2% then saddled businesses with a load of extra costs, lifting the CPI measure to 3.8% last autumn 2⃣ inflation has since fallen back but is still 2.8%, while all Labour has done to help is transfer some household costs to general taxation; this is hardly "fixing the foundation", and inflation is set to jump again over the summer #gaslighting

Sky News forgot to mention that they are all Afghan illegal immigrants A bit of honesty about what’s happening would help Hiding the truth is how the mainly Pakistani-origin grooming gang scandal was covered up for so long

A jury in the re-trial of two brothers accused of assaulting a police officer at Manchester Airport has failed to reach a verdict. Mohammed Fahir Amaaz and Muhammad Amaad were both on trial of assaulting armed PC Zachary Marsden. It's all on CCTV. We're being taken for fools.

With Islamists on juries, expect to see crimes like "Muslim men punching police women in the face" to be effectively decriminalised

🚨🎙️Thierry Henry on Southampton expelled for spying drama against Middlesbrough: “I have to be honest, this is a difficult one. Spying on another team’s training is wrong. Full stop. It crosses a line, it undermines the trust that should exist between clubs, and I understand why Middlesbrough are furious and why the EFL felt they had to act strongly. Integrity matters in this game. At the same time, I find myself questioning whether expulsion from the play-offs is the right punishment. It feels… heavy. Almost like using a sledgehammer when a precise scalpel was needed. Let’s be clear: this wasn’t match-fixing or doping. It was analysts pushing boundaries for tactical information, something that, sadly, has happened in different forms across the game for years. Marcelo Bielsa did it openly at Derby and Leeds, admitted it, and people called him a genius, not a criminal. Drones, analysts in trees, whatever, in the modern game with data and marginal gains everywhere, clubs push boundaries. Southampton admitted it, yes, and they deserve punishment. A heavy fine, points deduction, maybe even a ban for the staff involved. But kicking the entire club out after they earned their place on the pitch? That punishes players, coaches, and fans who had nothing to do with one or two analysts doing something stupid. What troubles me most is the collateral damage. The players who battled through a tough Championship season after relegation, who went to extra time and scored that late goal to beat Middlesbrough on the pitch, they earned their place in the final through merit. Now that achievement is being erased because of actions taken by a small number of staff members. That feels disproportionate to me. A significant fine, a points deduction for next season, and sanctions against the individuals responsible, those would be strong, meaningful punishments that address the breach without nullifying an entire season’s competitive work. Sport has to balance two things: protecting fairness and recognising that human error and ambition sometimes lead people astray. If every rules breach in high-stakes moments leads to rewriting results, we risk turning the disciplinary process into something more powerful than the football itself. I’ve sat in dressing rooms where we prepared meticulously for opponents. Everyone does. The difference is getting caught. I hope Southampton appeal and that the final decision finds a better equilibrium. Middlesbrough deserve respect, they were wronged but the players of Southampton also deserve not to have their legitimate efforts wiped away. Football is emotional, passionate, and imperfect. The response to this should reflect wisdom as much as outrage. We need clearer rules going forward so incidents like this become rare, but we must be careful not to let one mistake destroy what was built legitimately on the grass.

@thatladzthere @jamesaknight Well the refs of both games did try there best to get you through.

@jamesaknight Basically Southampton cheated before a ball was kicked in the playoffs. If the EFL moved quicker the #saintsfc wouldn’t have been playing football at all. So really the games are null and void !

Can someone explain to me why Middlesboro are in the playoff final? Southampton weren't disqualified from that game, they were disqualified from the playoffs. Both Middlesboro and Millwall beaten in playoff games and Millwall finished higher in the table.

@alex_crook @talkSPORT @JacobsBen Go @HCAFC.

EXC: Hull are speaking with lawyers to see if they have a case for being promoted straight up to the Premier League in the wake of Southampton's expulsion. Another potential headache for the EFL. More on @talkSPORT with @JacobsBen

🚨 WATCH: Suspended Labour MP Karl Turner claims Keir Starmer knew and allowed briefings "from the lads in No 10" about his mental health after he opposed the jury reforms Starmer: "Nobody should be smeared in relation to mental health" #PMQs

@AdamBlackmore @dailyecho @AlfieHouseEcho

Zia Yusuf’s video announcing Reform’s new migration policy has been censored by TikTok. Apparently, this counts as hateful content under the Online Safety Act. This is an outrage against democracy, says Gawain Towler buff.ly/rCLE4xY

I assume Sky will be apologising to the #SaintsFC ball boy?

Alarming. Labour have now used the Online Safety Act to take down this video by @ZiaYusufUK on TikTok. They can’t beat Reform at the ballot box so now using big tech to silence a political opponent. This isn’t about “protecting children”. That’s a lie.

@EvaVlaar @Keir_Starmer He forgets, or chooses to ignore.....

@Keir_Starmer You're an absolute DISGRACE! You're LYING. You're dangerously trying to put a target on the backs of normal, patriotic Brits who care about this country. Meanwhile you literally *welcome* dangerous Islamist extremists like Alaa Abd El Fattah. RESIGN. You divisive, vile man.

We need to start demanding a General Election at the end of this Tory leadership election. They were all elected on a manifesto promise to level up the North and are all abandoning it.

Here are 4 things that happened to the UK in the last 24 hours: 1. The Labour government confirmed it will remove the right to a jury trial. Cases will be tried by a judge alone. 2. The Labour gvt confirmed it will impose Digital ID despite it never being included in Labour's manifesto and nearly 3 million Brits signing a petition against it. 3. The Labour gvt confirmed we will "align" with the European Union, directly going against the 2016 democratic vote for Brexit & forcing the British people to pay billions for laws they'll never be able to influence. 4. The Labour gvt confirmed that while Islamist sympathisers & antisemites are free to march on the streets of our capital city, & while it welcomes former allies of al-Qaeda into Downing Street, it has banned conservative activists from joining a peaceful protest against mass immigration in London. Put all these things together and you get a sense - just a sense - of how hideously authoritarian and illiberal this Labour government really is.

What a joke

Keir Starmer is banning foreign politicians with no criminal record who are zero threat to the public Yet he is also letting in hordes of undocumented savages from across the world who attack women and children He's an absolute maniac
