Viviane posts these updates regularly. If you're not already following her, might be worth considering? Then repost - astonishing how many ppl challenge me to 'tell me one thing Labour's achieved since it came to power'.
Viviane: 🌹Labour led by Keir for me@LaindonFEMINIST

We cannot rely on our media to tell us what Labour are doing. Here’s 11 positive announcements from the last 5 days that are unreported. It’s our job to make these known far and wide. #DoingTheMediasJob #LabourAchievements #FixingBritain

How do you feel about VAR, and would you like to keep it out of The Championship? 🤔 #efl #skybetchampionship

Premier League fans deliver damning verdict on VAR. 75% of 7,946 fans polled by the Football Supporters’ Association “didn’t support the use of VAR”. Too long, too forensic, too much of a joy killer, fans say. Findings shared with Premier League and PGMO. 92% of fans surveyed “agreed” that “VAR has removed the spontaneous joy of goal celebrations” (82% of them “strongly agreed”). 85% of match-going fans “strongly disagreed” with the notion that “VAR makes watching football more enjoyable”. And 83% of those watching on TV. 85% of match-going fans “strongly disagreed” that “VAR decisions are generally resolved in a reasonable amount of time”. Echoed by 83% of those watching on TV. Only 18% agreed that “VAR has improved the overall accuracy of refereeing decisions”. 72% are “concerned about the expansion of VAR beyond its current remit”. 79% “strongly disagreed” with the suggestion “that the match-going experience is better with VAR”. 67% “strongly agreed” that they preferred “watching games that are played without VAR to games with VAR”. 84% “strongly support” goal-line technology. 34% “strongly opposed” to the idea of a challenge system (two per game per team). “These findings back up the FSA's previous survey in 2021, where fans expressed misgivings about the introduction of VAR,” says Thomas Concannon, @WeAreTheFSAPremier League network manager. “The vast majority are reporting the same concerns five years on - the loss of spontaneity when celebrating goals, and an overall worsening of the match-going experience. We have shared the survey results with the Premier League and PGMO, and look forward to discussing its findings with them.” Fans surveyed of all PL clubs and all ages (Under-18 to 65+).

@BBCNews @JakeBenRichards I’ve spent the last year (at least) complaining about poor refereeing in the EFL. VAR was supposed to put a stop to that. But if it’s the same referees reviewing their colleagues’ mistakes, then there will be no improvement.

This is an astonishing fact from today’s Sunday Times. At least 224 out of 257 new Labour MPs elected in July 2024 came from either charities or communications/lobbying agencies, or were formerly “political employees”. It explains so much about Labour backbenchers’ priorities.

@Bazza73617427 @nazirafzal I grew up on a council estate, son of a Raleigh cycles worker and a dinner lady. Most of my peers didn’t pass the 11+ exam so didn’t go to grammer school as I did. I was the first in my family to go to university - a result of Labour expanding the number of universities.

@nazirafzal More facts in the 1970s Labour destroyed working class kids opportunity to better themselves by forcing comprehensive education, and watered down exams on to them. Then watered down the value of a degree.

@LBC @lewis_goodall You did better with this than Trevor this morning. The facts appear to suggest that protocols weren't followed. Until all the facts are known, the assertion that it's all just a ridiculous conspiracy theory won't wash.

Northfield Road W13 @EalingCouncil still allow drivers to illegally park on the pavement on this street without penalty. "But it's a quiet little side road". Irrelevant. Pavements are for people, not tin boxes.

I fear this might be my most controversial take ever, but I agreed to put it to a vote so here we are. Hoodies should only be worn by men young enough not to look silly carrying a skateboard.
