Definitely worth a read.

Dai Yongge killed Reading Women’s team. An injustice I hope, the doubt, will be addressed by the new owners.

I really hope we see a packed Goodison at WSL games next season.

The outcome of today’s court case gives us confidence that there are no legal blockages to a sale, as far as we know.

As a matter of urgency, I will be speaking to the EFL, fan groups and key stakeholders to move the situation forward. (2/3)

Is it another ‘unscheduled rapid disassembly’?! #Twitter #X

Please go online and sign the petition (and ask others to do the same!).

Doesn’t every US state have a purchase tax? Is that not what VAT is?

New research: birdlife soars on nature-friendly solar farms Nature-friendly solar farms in East Anglia support more bird species than arable land, boosting biodiversity

"Research by scientists from the RSPB and University of Cambridge...

...has found that UK solar farms managed for nature could benefit birds, including threatened species like Corn Buntings, Greenfinches, Yellowhammers, and Linnets." 💚

I’ve avoided watching it for 40years?! Brookside was always my soap addiction.

Sent to Twitter jail for suggesting that someone who was moaning about paper straws drink straight from the glass! Apparently that was violent speech! 🤣🤣

Dai out.sell up & f**k right off

The journalists' job (very seldom discharged) is to hold power to account, *regardless of the nature of that power*. But when I criticise the failings of this government, I get widely told to leave it alone for fear of letting in the Tories/Reform. Sorry. Accountability is the essence of democracy.

Dai Yongge - claims he can’t afford to fund the football club that he bought & has driven to the brink of extinction but is more than happy to fritter money away on expensive litigation! #readingfc

Swasticars is cracking me up

Probably just hanging on in the hope of getting higher bids - it’s the Dai way. #readingfc

Brexit has left the UK aviation sector up in the air Since Brexit, UK pilot's qualifications are no longer recognised in the EU and planes have to fly to America or Brazil for maintenance. If the government is serious about resetting Britain's relations...

Oh.

I hope Nigel Howe is being paid based on results. The way things are going he will end up paying us! #readingfc

Great, they listen to Millionaires. How about listening to this, a simple way to grow the economy without building runways which help destroy the planet is closer ties with our major trading partners in Europe. Oh wait, Reform voters won’t like that.

We may as well just have voted the Tories back in. No wealth tax, water down restrictions for non-doms, targeting welfare rather than tax avoidance. Same old story…

On the far side of the pond hundreds of violent insurrectionists have been pardoned & released from jail. Meanwhile, on this side of the pond peaceful, albeit possibly disruptive, protestors remain in prison thanks to draconian Tory anti-protest laws which Keir Starmer & his Govt seem happy to keep!

Great approach; possibly ‘recover’ a bit just in time to see the planet well & truly f*cked by the short-sighted measures to recover. Just how much will floods etc. cost the UK? Rejoining the EU would be far more beneficial to growth & less harmful to the environment. Labour are now #ToryLite

Today Labour tramped hobnailed boots all over the environment.

Between this, and the plan to allow developers to kick money into a pot rather than meet environmental conditions, it's been an abysmal day.

Lewis Wing missed out because the sodding PFA website wasn’t working properly and wouldn’t allow us to vote do him! Would do to have a Reading player win would it! #readingfc

The looks you make when you're called out by a Bishop in church at the National Prayer Service for essentially being fake Christians.

Bravo, Bishop Budde!

Wow. Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde fearlessly calls out Trump and Vance to their faces. This is heroic.

#Trump’s withdrawal from @who.int was widely anticipated & criticised for damage it will cause. It serves as a wake-up call for the importance of multilateralism in the face of American unilateralism. In our @bmj.com piece, we outline actions to address the crisis

Fun fact - the "roman salute" is a myth.

There is no mention anywhere in Roman literature or iconography of such actions.

We think otherwise because of films and 19th-century art ... oh yes and the Italian fascists and Nazis who pretended it was a thing.

One might even call it "Fake history".

Word of the day is ‘catch-fart’ (17th century: an obsequious individual who will always follow the political wind.

It’s wild to see a Jewish person go “everything Hitler did and believed in was correct, he just targeted the wrong race”

Yes, if you have the wrong DNA you ARE evil and genocide is the only reasonable response. It’s just science.

Yes, not impressed by Norwood’s conduct, particularly as our fans had respected him as a past player for us and not given him any stick. Maybe to be expected from someone who supposedly annoys teammates by going on about his great stats!
