I’m going to file this because no way will there be 400,000 new ‘clean energy jobs’ between now and 2030 — unless the definition is so wide as to be meaningless. So let’s set the base. How many ‘clean energy jobs’ are there now, early 2026, what’s the definition and the breakdown? Then we can monitor progress, or the lack thereof.

@SkySportsPL Man U used to get away with everything but hopefully tvat has changed.

Take a look at six times hair was pulled during a Premier League match…but how many received red cards? 👀💆‍♂️

@SteveHaylesALAW Even !!!! Gary Neville commentating says : you ain’t getting away with an hair pull. This before the decision.

@TheLeedsPress Keeping hold of Gudmundsson might be a problem- he’s been class.

We are all super proud of the boys 😍

Ahhh … so Brexit isn’t just producing a low growth Britain, it’s responsible for a low growth EU too. That’s a new one. We must have one helluva big economy. Have another sherry. And let me just remind you that the Eurozone had what’s now widely referred to as a lost decade before the UK left the EU. Oh yes, and there’s a UK-EU free trade agreement. Could be better but EU not keen. It does, however, mean very few trade barriers. Tho obviously not as seamless as the single market.

@LeeBielsa @JRCooper26 When Venables did that you just knew that it was a football favour to his mate. Barmby was a joke.

@JRCooper26 For me he is like Olivier Dacourt ,we never lost a game with him either,like a talisman .. then Venables brought in Nick Barmby ...

Leeds United have won 30 of the 49 matches that Ao Tanaka has started, the best win ratio of any player in the club's history (61.2%). They've only lost six of those 49 games, also the lowest loss percentage of any player (12.2%). #lufc

@LeedsZone_ 🤣🤣🤣love him.

🤣 Anton Stach on TikTok.. “Me at home after my team win an important game” #LUFC

@dunnydunnydunny @BanP0liticians @afneil You’re not actually making any real sense like you think you are.

@BanP0liticians @afneil Learn what a counterfactual is

Too much weight being given to IMF downgrade of UK growth this year, from 1.3% (previously) to 0.8%. First, it’s just a forecast — and IMF usually wrong. Second, the Left gave too much credence to IMF forecasts when they were bad for the Tories. The Right shouldn’t make the same mistake now Labour is in power. Third, the IMF’s previous 1.3% forecast was over-optimistic even without Trump’s War. Fourth, the new forecast puts UK firmly in the G7/European mainstream: 0.8% Germany, 0.9% France, 0.7% Japan — and above 0.5% Italy. Fifth, which makes it strange that the usual Europhiles are saying this downgrade only strengthens the case for rejoining/getting much closer to the EU. Economically we’re already in the EU average re growth. In or out of the EU, the major economies are close to stagnant — and have been for some time. If anything the latest IMF stats (for whatever they’re worth) suggest we should join Northern American (US 2.3%, Canada 2.5%)!

@Rod_Studd A lot longer than 30 minutes, Manchester only came to in the last 30.

The decision is correct. It’s daft by the defender. In any regard the red card is a Godsend for the Man United manager as it allows him to put up smoke screen around the dismal performance and being totally outplayed for the first 30 mins when Leeds deservedly took a 2-0 lead

@IsraelWhites I think that angle makes it look easier than it was tbf. Agree re heart attack 😂 but ultimately it made it that much sweeter!

Far too many professional footballers refuse to use their weaker foot to kick a ball. Use your left, AO, and it’s 3-0. And I wouldn’t have needed that triple heart bypass. #LUFC

@UtdKev08 He must be banned for this nonsense, you can’t say such things about referees.

🚨🎥🗣️| Michael Carrick’s absolutely FUMING in his FULL post-match interview following the defeat to Leeds.

@Danny39098934 Tanaka is so aware that he makes breaking up the play look effortless, not enough people mention his ability to read their passages of play.

Can we all appreciate this man tonight. Pulling the strings in the middle. Passing and work rate was 🔥👏🏼 #Lufc

They tried to shut me down. One “tea towel” keffiyeh jibe at freshers fair → police interview room → now CPS deciding on criminal charges. @KTHopkins called the keffiyeh a tea towel. No arrest. @BorisJohnson called it an Arafat dishcloth. No arrest. Yet here I am - sat waiting, potentially facing charges… for words. A Palestine Activist wanted me banned from campus. It escalated to police. This isn’t justice. This is weaponising institutions because you don’t like someone’s opinion. Young people are self-censoring. Walking on eggshells. No one has a right not to be offended. UK Police, focus on real crime. Stop policing people’s words. @SpeechUnion #TwoTierPolicing #FreeSpeechUK #BritishValues

@JapaneseFbl He’s a great player who gives 100 percent and I don’t know anyone who doesn’t want him to play every week.

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿✨ On Ao Tanaka's first Premier League start of 2026, Leeds win for the first time since early February. 74 mins • 82% pass success • 4 chances created • 6/6 accurate crosses • 6 passes into the final third • 8 defensive actions • 3/4 duels won

That was for you all, hope you all enjoyed that💙💛🤍

@ethanamp26 @Leeds_Untied @LUFC Ethan Amazing Ampadu is fast becoming one of the all time greats of our club.

@ThomasWilson04 @leeds_cl @LUFC He’s really a very good player, definitely a solid premiership quality who gives 100 percent. His lack of game time has been our undoing and he was excellent today breaking up play for fun. Worth a fortune and it’s the only criticism of Farke atm.

I’d die for this man, you best not sell him in the summer @LUFC

@ClarkeMicah Peter Hitchens clearly doesn’t understand the difference between a democracy and an unhinged bunch of mentalists who openly support the annihilation of a Nation.

Is anyone else struck by the way in which Israel's nuclear weapons, which we all know to exist, are implictly deemed not to be capable of deterring Iran, should Iran obtain nuclear weapons of its own? So, er.......

@georgegalloway @ManUtd Saucer of milk for George 👍!

The most absurd Red Card in football history @ManUtd
