Amusing to hear @uklabour.bsky.social say Polanski cowardly for not standing in Gorton by-election after blocking Andy Burnham. Ohhh the irony!!

The one massive benefit to being relegated is that the championship doesn’t have VAR. kills the game. killed tonight’s game. changes the whole momentum. rerefs the game.

@crosscountryuk.bsky.social hi there can you explain why the 744 train from York to Birmingham is going down with two empty carriages (says β€˜doors not working’)

109 kids are falling into poverty every day because of the two-child limit.

The government must scrap it for all children.

Please share.

The Claret & Blue Army Marches November 8th Before The Burnley Game It’s time to write a new chapter in the history of West Ham United, and there’ll be no room for BS within these pages.

No skin in the game but it would be disgraceful if Crystal Palace were forced to play their League Cup QF 2 days after a Prem game and 2 days before a Conf game.

Is @rachaelmaskell.bsky.social eligible? If so, I think she would be an excellent deputy. Lots of integrity, able to hold Starmer to account but Labour through and through

No More BS! - Palace Protest and Brentford Boycott We must build towards a bigger demonstration than ever before, whether this be in the form of a mass rally or a march remains to be seen, but first we must mobilise support and build momentum.

Absolutely essential that all West Ham fans get right behind these protests. It’s the only way things will ever change.

I found this quite cathartic … helped me understand what I am missing about the game. It’s not to say I won’t be watching this year but I am gradually falling (or have fallen) out of love with the #premierleague

I wrote this as a cathartic reflection on how I felt over the summer as falling out of love with top flight football - which sadly includes #WestHam. But plenty of nostalgia, rants and hopefully an interesting reflection on where the game is … #coyi

Just feels that this Premier League season has been the worst for a long time in terms of quality and excitement. And not just for West Ham. Perhaps Sky, the Premier League and clubs haven’t realised they are killing the game.

This myth there is an incentive to remain on benefits is frankly nonsense. The amounts don’t allow people have autonomy or dignity in their lives, hence the institutionalisation of charity food. Employing stigma as a mechanism to shame folk will be entirely counter productive as well as immoral.

Torsten Bell (@torstenbell.bsky.social) Member of Parliament for Swansea West

Real shame to hear @torstenbell.bsky.social succumb to the party line on benefit cuts. Of course we should support people into work, partic young ones. But evidence highlights education + support is the way and not making people destitute and further away from the labour market.

Wow City were so poor - felt a bit sour grapes with Pep doing his 6 (especially as Liverpool will always respond with CL wins!). The Liverpool fans really got to him. There are some City players - like Bernardo in partic - who to coin a phrase, need to β€˜stay humble’

Some may remember Dole Animators from 2013. Either way, I'd urge you to listen to their latest video and also an associated briefing paper co-written by @ruthpatrick0.bsky.social & Amanda Light. Back then, it felt it couldn't get worse but it has.
