@Chelsearory Just do your jobs and relegate spurs

Gutted. Felt like they were there for the taking but what chance we got? Run by charlatans who let a geezer who was recently managing Croydon lead us out at Wembley…Whilst dressed like a paraffin. He can get fucked, these owners can get fucked and this season can get fucked.

I know the news Andy Burnham has a route back to Westminster will divide opinion. So, before anything else, I want to speak plainly – to Labour members and voters, to those who have left us, and to anyone on the centre-left, whether you vote Green, Lib Dem, or are simply looking for a politics that hasn't given up on you. Last week's local election results were, for many of us, existential. Not disappointing. Not a setback. Existential. Look across Europe and beyond at what happens to social democratic parties that refuse to step outside the economic orthodoxy of the last forty years – the one that hollowed out our public services, privatised what was ours, drove inequality to indecent levels, and cleared the ground for the authoritarian right to march into. That is the path we are on. Keir Starmer has refused to see it, and the country cannot afford another general election spent finding out the hard way. So let me be direct. The Prime Minister should set out a timeline for an orderly transition. I have said this before. I say it again now because the stakes have changed. Reform is not a protest – it is a project. And it will not be beaten by a Labour Party that mistakes managerial caution for strategy. As regards Andy, I want to set down here that I do not see him as some kind of messiah. Far from it. As someone who has been around frontline politics for more than twenty years, he has made his fair share of mistakes. But for the last ten years he has been a serious, grounded, and effective Mayor of Greater Manchester. The party and the country need their strongest players on the pitch, and he has a great deal to offer at a moment when the national stage has rarely mattered more. I hope the NEC will listen to the overwhelming view of the Cabinet, the PLP, the membership, and the unions, and let Andy stand. And I hope and believe the people of Makerfield will send him back to Parliament. But that is not a given. We know Reform will throw everything at this by-election. We must do the same and then some. Reform have spent a year being told they are inevitable. Makerfield is where we find out whether that is true. Every advance has a limit. This is where we set it. Millions of people, including my constituents in Norwich South, need this government to succeed. They need housing, working public services, secure jobs, water and energy that serves them rather than extracts from them. That work is not finished. But the honest truth is that stopping Reform and rebuilding the country is bigger than any one party. It will take a progressive politics willing to listen, willing to cooperate where the public interest demands it, and willing to drop the tribal habits that got us here. The country is ahead of us on this. It is time we caught up. Makerfield is one of many places where Labour has lost trust. It is an area Andy knows and has lived in for many years. If selected, he will work hard to win that trust back and make the case for a Labour Party worth voting for again. That case has to be made not only to people who once voted Labour, but to everyone who believes the answer to Reform is a serious, democratic, social alternative – not a paler imitation of the politics that created the problem. This by-election is not about one seat. It is a test of whether Labour understands the moment we are in. No single party is going to stop Reform on its own. The progressive majority in this country is real – but it is scattered across Labour, the Greens, the Lib Dems, nationalists, independents, and millions of people who have stopped voting altogether. Our job is not to demand they all come back to us. It is to earn the right to work with them, on shared ground, for a shared future. To former Labour voters: come and talk to us again. To Green and Lib Dem voters: we are not enemies. To Labour members and MPs: this is the fight. Let's get on with it. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

No words needed. ❤️

It’s a clear foul on the goalkeeper #WesthamvsArsenal #premierleague

📲 Bukayo Saka on Instagram.

Remember when Ola Aina cheated and mocked us. Rivals were loving it and did not care at all. Save me the moral warrior stance today. Stay mad.

Till the fucking wheels fall off Mikel ❤️ They said “even if he wins it, he has to walk” Walk we will…into the UCL Final unbeaten. They didnt believe in us, they didnt resonate with your “message” Is the message clear enough now?!

Lock in Arsenal Football Club

What a lovely place. We nearly bought there in 1997 for £90,000 but Margaret said two homes was enough. Now it's worth £1.2 million. Our only regret in life. We do still get to see it once a year from the cruise ship deck though.

Our lovely little holiday home in Cornwall. Our daughter asked if she could stay there with the kids this summer. Honey, we'd love to but it's booked on Airbnb all through August. £400 a night. We're not a charity. She earns £35,000 a year she can find a Travelodge.

Our little home. Bought in 1982 for £28,000. Just a modest family home in Surrey with a bit of a garden. I remember picking up extra shifts at the post office that summer to save for the deposit. We were so young. Apparently it's worth £1.5 million now but to us it's just home. 🏡

The cut to Cundy after 'you're a professional pundit' is just sensational, bravo social media editor bravo

He's saying a really big spreadsheet and a baby are morally equivalent. One reason to believe that life is divine is so that you don’t allow sociopaths like this anywhere near anything important.

I am no Starmer fan but I feel the same way.

This video shows Alex Pretti trying protect a protestor who is being assaulted, then he gets viciously beaten by federal agents, then he's disarmed by a CBP goon and only after that is he summarily executed with 10 bullets. This is murder.

as the theocratic monarchs justified their rulership on the lie of being ordained by god to rule over man - the capitalist oligarch uses the lie of meritocracy under the current design to rule over you. no different than a king.
