Greens’ ‘undeliverable’ promises will let voters down, says Labour minister Exclusive: Darren Jones says Labour has to convince young people it is ‘modern party of the future’

YouTube video by talkSPORT "APPALLING STANCE!" Simon Jordan rages at "COWARD" Gary Neville after Union Jack REMOVAL admission!

Simon Jordan on TalkSport, unchallenged yet again.

As a Talksport employee, I am embarrassed by this rebuttal of what Neville said. This moron pontificates without question. It is bonkers.

And yeah, i'll probably be sacked. Fuck it.

Diogo Jota gave Liverpool fans goals and a glorious song. He will never be forgotten | Sachin Nakrani The ‘lad from Portugal’ was celebrated by those who watched him at Anfield for his brilliance and commitment to the cause

He came. He saw. He scored. He made us sing. And he’ll never be forgotten.

Diogo Jota's death has made me question fame, football and mortality Losing a footballer in the prime of their career hurts so much because we tend to see sporting heroes as immortal on some level

Rest in peace, Diogo Jota and Andre Silva.
