I guess that's one of the key reasons why Corbyn isn't a previous PM

I remember it well. One of the highlights of that season. Those were the days.

Anybody remember this game? 18th Feb 1984. We beat Citeh 2-1 at their place, on the way to promotion. I was in the Kippax end and we got pelted with coins and marbles for a good part of the game. We pushed the silly cunts into 4th and another season in Division 2 though, lol. #NUFC

OrbΓ‘n’s pay cheques: Reform candidate fuelled by profits from Russian oil The Reform candidate at this month’s byelection claims he wants to put Britain first, but is he still on the payroll of Viktor OrbΓ‘n’s far-right propaganda unit?

Blimey. Looks like Matt Goodwin, who seems to think the Handmaid's Tale is an instruction manual, is in the pay of an Orban think tank, funded by Russian oil money.

If you or a loved one served in Afghanistan and are horrified by Donald Trump's claim that Nato including British forces, stayed "a little off the front lines" during the conflict, and would like to write to express your anger and outrage, then please email editor@centralbylines.co.uk

NEW: NEW: Standards commissioner finds Nigel Farage committed seventeen breaches of MPs code of conduct.

He failed to declare Β£333,000 in outside interests (more than 3x MPs annual salary)…

All of these people - Mogg, Farage, Carswell, Jenrick, Hannan and the rest need to be forever reminded of what they backed and supported

It might sound silly, but I mean it: The easiest and most potent way for Europe to hurt Trump this year is to once again use its cultural soft power and to threaten a boycott of the World Cup. It would become a completely meaningless event and would hurt him where he is most vulnerable - his vanity.

The UK was better off in the EU and Europe was better off with the UK in it.

All of this Trump driven chaos underlines that and you can practically hear Putin rubbing his hands in Moscow.

WE have deliberately weakened ourselves, our security and our region for absolutely no good purpose at all.

In 1916, the US was worried that Germany might take control of the Danish West Indies to use as a submarine base. So, Denmark sold the Danish West Indies to the USA, with the colony becoming the US Virgin Islands. In exchange, the USA acknowledged Denmark's complete sovereignty over Greenland.

Farage backed Boris Johnson's disastrous Brexit deal and Liz Truss's catastrophic mini-budget.

No wonder he’s welcoming Nadhim Zahawi, someone who enthusiastically supported both.

So after the Conservatives spend years accusing Keir Starmer of betraying Britain in his work as a former Human Right's lawyer, Kemi Badenoch's own Shadow Attorney General in the Lords takes a job representing a sanctioned Russian oligarch

Farage keeps on switching his story about whether he engaged in racist abuse as a teenager.

What is little known is that in 1999, just before became a public figure he was using vile racist language, as can be seen in the Guardian screenshots below.

Please repost, more people need to know this.

Wow - this guy must be really, REALLY bad with money if an extra Β£208 per month will β€œruin” his retirement.

Let’s take a look at his situation based on what he told the @Telegraph

Because this does NOT add up!

No, this is not a β€œpoor pensioner” scrabbling around for pennies…

Analysis of the language used in Trump’s Ukraine β€œpeace plan” shows it was drafted in Russian and translated into English.

I’ll try to dig up a link.

Robbie Gibb was appointed to the BBC Board by Boris Johnson, was an editorial advisor for GB News, and worked as Theresa May's Director of Comms.

He is not impartial or neutral. The government should remove him from the Board immediately to protect the BBC's independence.

Same applies to Lewis Hall - he will hopefully come back ready to start and play a full 90

Why should we switch 2p of tax from National Insurance to Income Tax? ‡️

Income Tax raises more money and spreads the burden more fairly. The switch would raise Β£6 billion, and leave the vast majority of payslips unaffected.

This is a lie.

There are many criticisms you might sensibly and truthfully make of the Sentencing Council and the Sentencing Guidelines. I’ve been making them for years.

But this is an outright lie. Pure fabrication. A fraud on the public.

The display was fantastic but as an East Stand dweller I was not keen on the flag shown. It blocked our view of the iconic line up whilst the Champions League anthem played. I think you need to consider what views will be blocked when planning any future displays.
