The salient point to Spurs being as bad as they are is this is exactly what football and sport should be. Bad teams should be in danger of and - God forbid - actually experience relegation. Money shouldn't be an impenetrable buffer. Going down shouldn't be an existential worry for clubs

Kemi Badenoch promising a British ICE in an official Conservative party video

In September Kemi Badenoch promised a British ICE.

Does she still stand by that?

Reported something unseasonal in Ealing Common ward - Christmas trees in February that need clearing!

We had a great reception this weekend canvassing in Ealing Common ward. Most people we spoke to said they're definitely or probably voting in May for the local Lib Dem team: @conniehersch.bsky.social, Lakhbir Singh and I. Many people are increasingly dissapointed with Labour nationally and locally.

Today, on HMD RWBA joins in bridging generations: testimony is something we listen to & learn from together, guiding the choices our young people make & the communities they help build.
Memory becomes a bridge they choose to walk across, carrying its lessons into the world they are shaping

Arsenal top Deloitte rankings for first time as two clubs pass £20m revenue mark Revenues in women’s football are plainly growing - generating more money from viewership, in person and on the sofa, is now a target

A report from Deloitte, out today, details rising revenues in women's football. Two London clubs lead the way, topping £20million each, and commercial income is driving growth. But there are caveats and concerns, too.

In-depth look here:

Of important note here: some club wage bills per accounts differ to figures they report for PSR/SCR purposes

Manchester City's wage bill in UEFA reports is routinely higher than that per accounts - £63m higher(!) in 2023-24 - so #MCFC were likely still highest payers in 2024-25

Some news I should probably share with you...

Delighted and not a little humbled to tell you I've joined @theathleticfc.bsky.social as their first designated Football Finance Writer

I'll be covering all things money in football, I think it's gonna be busy and I'm very excited to get going

The arrest of Greta Thunberg for peacefully opposing genocide and supporting those on hunger strike is wrongful and disturbing.

This is yet another shocking example of the UK’s broad terrorism laws being used to target those exercising their right to freedom of expression and assembly rights.

I quizzed the Labour portfolio holder re how much it cost council taxpayers to construct & then demolish the flats overlooking Dean Gardens when Henry Construction went bust (he refused to answer) and why Ealing didn't react quickly like Lib Dem Sutton did when one of their developer partners folded

My Lib Dem ward colleague @conniehersch.bsky.social handed in a petition calling for an independent inquiry into the Lammas Park SUDS fiasco and asked for order to be brought to the chaos of e-bikes blocking pavements.

Asking questions about local government funding reform and how it is likely to affect Ealing.

At Ealing's full council meeting I slammed the Labour administration for their delay implementing a levy on developers (community infrastructure levy) for 15 years, letting the developers off approximately £90m that the council could have used to improve services. @ealinglibdems.bsky.social

Owen Goodman’s persistent path to Canadian citizenship makes him a World Cup wild card Goodman had international options, but the goalkeeper had eyes for Canada. Now with citizenship in tow, he can pursue his World Cup dream

Owen Goodman is back in the team at Huddersfield with cause for double celebration. He has his first call up for Canada

Palace see him as a possible future No 1, or at worst an asset to sell

His journey has been a long one but he's been rewarded for patience #CPFC
