It’s either socialism or barbarism (begins at home). Overground Underground (Wombling Free). Somerset la la la. Hackney.

Roma just can’t beat the teams around them. Deeply frustrating.

Leeds fans rightly pilloried for booing the Ramadan break, presumably there’ll be the same outrage over 40,000 people singing about Martin O’Neill being a fenian bastard at lunchtime.

Got to feel for a keeper that saves the penalty and the rebound, and it still goes in! But as it's Rangers, I don't!

Got to be a red as well as a penalty.

Just seen a post about Leeds fans booing a Ramadan break in the game with Man City. On TikTok. Every comment underneath was messages of support and congratulations for Leeds fans doing it from others. Most not hiding their identity. Well done from West Ham, Millwall, Rangers etc. Grim reality

‘Cash cow’ Send schools backed by firms linked to Bono and Sheikh Mansour Analysis shows private equity funds, including offshore entities, are making millions while councils struggle to meet Send demand

Private equity companies linked to Manchester City owner, and Bono making millions in profit through taxpayer-funded special needs schools.

20%+ profit margins. Children are cash cows.

Councils pay up to £350,000 a year to support pupils.

Money ends up in offshore tax havens.

As journalists working today many of us are taught to recognise disinformation when we see it and fight back against it.

Unfortunately there are some who willingly seek it out and put it on their front pages. A disgrace to the profession.

Good game. Good job it didn’t rain during the game as I reckon it might have got called off. Ball was barely rolling as it was.

He had the diagnosis a couple of years back and spent the time clocking up as many countries as possible. An absolute legend.

Anyway, off to Mansfield to watch some life affirming poor football and also to have a good drink with my Stags mate who lost his brother - also a massive Stags fan - this week at the age of just 52. RIP Mike.

If you really want to stop the boats then stopping displacing people by bombing them out of their homes might be a good start. #justsaying

No, no, no - you’re not alienating Muslim voters, Shabana.

You’re alienating progressive voters.

Ya know, the ones who put you into office? Your actual voting base?

It looks like lessons will not be learned after all.

Today has to be a wake-up call.

We cannot out-Reform Reform. We should never have tried.

We must stand up for working people with clear policies that tackle inequality, protect communities and put peace, justice and welfare at the heart of all we do.

Progressive voters are deserting in droves because this Labour government isn't showing commitment to the kind of popular, progressive policy changes they voted for.

We are losing more votes to the Greens than to Reform.
