United want £40m for Garnacho, but Chelsea think the fee will come down if United sign Sesko, apparently.

Surely if he's worth £40m today, he'd still be worth £40m if Sesko signs. After all, Chelsea still want £80m for Jackson despite signing 2 replacements for him.

47% of people think immigration is primarily illegal. There were 4% irregular arrivals in March

New YouGov polling. A monumental failure of our political class to educate, a monumental failure of our media to report fairly, for a generation

Phenomenal stuff from England. Fought and battled for that title every inch of the way - some mentality in that squad...

England simply will not be beaten.

They came from behind once again at Euro 2025 to beat Spain 3-1 on penalties and retain their European Championship crown.

An extraordinary achievement from Sarina Wiegman's team.

Now, clearly I'm no Sarina Wiegman, but Clinton for Stanway is right there...

Correct, United did indeed have the highest number of fans at matches last season. Quite the scoop.

People think money has ruined football but the sight of a rapist dictator standing next to a corrupt football official in front of a big gold trophy at a competition bankrolled by Saudi Arabia reminds me the game still belongs to us.

Can't decide if I want United to sign Mbeumo because he's good, or just to stop everyone moaning about it (disclaimer: yes, I agree it's moving at a glacial pace)

Badenoch is a cunt. So are the journalists who gleefully piled on when seeing Reeves upset at PMQs, not considering it might be a personal issue. Utterly pathetic.

If you're horrified by events at Glastonbury but not by the events at an Aid Distribution Site in Gaza, you're a bit of a cunt.

Sorry but you are.

The "simplified remortgaging for workers" policy refers to Labour’s planned reforms to make it easier for homeowners—particularly lower- and middle-income workers—to switch mortgage providers or secure better terms.
Key aspects :
* Streamlining mortgage affordability checks for those remortgaging (not taking on new debt)
* Reducing penalties and fees associated with switching mortgage providers
* Encouraging lenders to offer more flexible products to those with fluctuating income (like gig economy or part-time workers)
* Improving credit access for renters and lower-income individuals by including rent and bill payment history in assessments
This policy is aimed at helping workers trapped on high interest rates or inflexible mortgage terms, ensuring they can benefit from better market rates and avoid mortgage stress—especially during times of high interest rates or inflation.

This passed me by.

So whilst Liz Truss brought us high mortgage bills Labour are working for fairer mortgages (click on image to see it all)

How are any of these things Premier league rules? Just show the match and shut up.

Programme starts, line ups shown, kick off, full time, prkhrme ends. That'll do. Nobody needs half time interviews or in game interviews with subbed players.

Normally try not to criticise Glastonbury headliners, but have The 1975 always been a Go West tribute band? Fucking awful. Just remind me of that period in the late 80's when all music was terrible. Saxophones, synths, leather jackets for manufactured edginess, but still wine bar background fodder.

Yeah, to be fair the third kits seem to be particularly good recently - thought this year's white one was the best shirt United have had in years...

I'll ignore that glow in the dark lime green monstrosity from a couple of years ago though 😁

An absolute bargain! Pretty sure whoever is responsible for designing the United kit only starts work at 4:30 on the day the designs are due. Copy, paste, overlay a texture, change white to black - all finished by 4:45.

Hey, a few of the white bits are black now. It's totally different. Like night and d̶a̶y̶ a bit later at night.

I mean, the economy was always going to shrink s a result of Trump tariffs, I think everyone knew that was coming. The plan laid out by Rachel Reeves yesterday was excellent, and most tellingly the markets seemed to agree.

Let’s be clear: Israel, an occupier, has no authority under international law to board or divert the Madleen.

This is a hijacking, plain and simple. A hijacking of a UK-registered ship, with multiple *European* citizens on board.

Does the EU or UK government have anything to say? Anything??

Musk could’ve gotten Harris elected and married his EV business with a left wing, climate conscious ideology. He could’ve secured a legacy of some regard. But he didn’t. And he hasn’t. He’s always going to be remembered as a fascist enabling, racist cunt of an oligarch.

Labour seems to be getting attacked daily by the Media, so I thought I'd draw your attention to the #FullFact Government tracker.
It shows that in 11 months Labour have already delivered or are on track with 42 of 59 Manifesto pledges.
Tories barely did 3 in 5 years
