@MartinSLewis Before advisors start going on lunch so 10.30-11.30 usually has better availability and then 2.30-4 before the first shift clocks off.

TELL US: If you work or worked in a call centre what tips do you have callers for i. when to call ii. how to negotiate better deals (inc of course, be nice!) The more specific the better. Pls post by reply & like your faves. Pod producer Simon will compile some to be read out.

@ccameronoates @K9740902478006 @Ivan_Schwakoff Look at any of his key stats - he was 50% less effective in the 2nd half of matches compared to 1st half. As I said, he fades significantly. Lacks power, stamina and physicality. Remember the question here was who might struggle in a more intense system...

@complfc @K9740902478006 @Ivan_Schwakoff You mean the guy who consistently covered the most distance in the team in the games he started Sure

To be a part of an Iraola team you’ve got to be athletic and be able to cover huge distances on the pitch You’ve got to be press resistant but also technically excellent Who’s in trouble boys?

@DesmondFancey @Ivan_Schwakoff The planet where he's played well for half a season out of the 3 he's been here.

@complfc @Ivan_Schwakoff Gravenberch did well as a 6 last year because he has the athleticism to turn away from a press and beat it. What planet are you on?

@adhaminho78 @Ivan_Schwakoff Jones slows play down

@complfc @Ivan_Schwakoff jones is perfect for his system what are you on about

@K9740902478006 @Ivan_Schwakoff Doesn't have the physicality and fades in games

@complfc @Ivan_Schwakoff Wirtz? He literally runs for days lmao

@LFC Thank you Arne, the title meant the world to us

Liverpool FC can confirm Arne Slot is to depart his role as head coach with immediate effect and that the process to appoint a successor is under way. He leaves with a Premier League title to his name and our deepest gratitude and appreciation.

@JacobsBen Astonishingly poor contract management this last 2 seasons. Over the next 2 seasons LFC have 15 first team squad members with contract expirys - it could be carnage #LFC #Kona

🚨 More on Ibrahima Konate’s Liverpool exit. French defender will leave when his contract expires. Viewed by sources as a disappointing outcome, and one Liverpool tried to avert. There was a significant gulf between club and player over terms. Negotiations began in November 2023 and have continued since, but an agreement has proven elusive. Liverpool are prepared to pay big wages but have remained disciplined in talks with Konate in order to retain squad equilibrium. There are high hopes for Jeremy Jacquet and Giovanni Leoni heading into next season. Liverpool have chosen not to proceed with what is seen as an expensive renewal and will instead put that resource into replacing Mo Salah, and into strengthening other key areas this summer.🔴

One of the most effective bits of political communication on the left I’ve seen in a long time. A message and a powerful messenger.

I have witnessed this club go from doubters to believers, and from believers to champions. It took hard work and I always did everything I could to help the club get there. Nothing makes me prouder than that. Us crumbling to yet another defeat this season was very painful and not what our fans deserve. I want to see Liverpool go back to being the heavy metal attacking team that opponents fear and back to being a team that wins trophies. That is the football I know how to play and that is the identity that needs to be recovered and kept for good. It cannot be negotiable and everyone that joins this club should adapt to it. Winning some games here and there is not what Liverpool should be about. All teams win games. Liverpool will always be a club that means a great deal to me and to my family. I want to see it succeed for long after I have moved on. As I’ve always said, qualifying to next season’s Champions League is the bare minimum and I will do everything I can to make that happen.

stating that this guy is no better at communicating than Starmer is laughable. and this is just one of many examples

@AndyBurnhamGM Good luck Andy, you have done a brilliant job in Manchester and would do the same for the country.

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

@AndyBurnhamGM They are playing a foolish short game. Your achievements in Manchester are through strategic long-term thinking. Hopefully you can bring that to the PLP at the earliest opportunity and strengthen the voice of the North

PS - The fact that the media was informed of the NEC decision before I was tells you everything you need to know about the way the Labour Party is being run these days. You would think that over 30 years of service would count for something but sadly not. 🤷🏻‍♂️

I am disappointed by today’s NEC decision and concerned about its potential impact on the important elections ahead of us. To whoever is Labour’s candidate and to our members in Manchester and Tameside: you will have my full support and I will be there whenever you need me. 1/2

@Corballyred The whole thing lacks pace, sideways passing or trying to dribble through 3 players at a time. The plan is wrong, the manager is wrong

My thoughts on tonight 🤬👇 - Slotball is disgusting. - Results better but performances awful. - Slot still under serious pressure. - We create nothing. - Frimpong best player but ran out of steam. - Ekitike great for 20 mins then disappeared. - Wirtz really poor. - Jones & Gravenberch horrible as pair - too slow on ball, need quality 6 ASAP. - Robbo legs gone, suspect he leaves in summer. - Gakpo garbage when subbed on. - None of subs worked.

@Corballyred VVD generous so many mistakes, Frimpong harsh based on last 2 games when he has been pushed forwards, Gakpo harsh with his goals he is no worse than Mo. Rest is fair

My half season ratings based on expectations :👇 -Alisson 6 -Konate 2 -Van Dijk 6 -Bradley 5 -Kerkez 5 -Frimpong 3 -Gravenberch 4 -Szoboszlai 9 -MacAllister 4 -Jones 6 -Gakpo 3 -Ekitike 9 -Salah 5 -Isak 2 -Wirtz 6 -Chiesa 5 -Robertson 5 -Endo 3 -Gomez 6 -Mamardashvili 5 Agree or too harsh 😀

@afneil The bloke could find the cure to cancer and you'd deride him in your next column. One trick pony journalist

I always serve Christmas dinner with a mic pinned to my shirt and the wife in designer togs. It’s just so natural.

For me, that’s changed it all. Arne Slot has to go.

@LFC In a choice between Salah and Slot its Mo every day of the week. #Slot

@AnythingLFC_ Out

It’s the right time to ask. Are you Slot in, or Slot out?👇🔴

Arne Slot is a league-winning Liverpool manager, one of only two in the last 35 years, and deserves every respect. However, I'm not sure he can or should survive this. Nine defeats in 12 and seven goals conceded in the last two at Anfield. This squad is so much better than that.
