William Sitwell. A man whose entitlement is directly inverse to his talent.

I imagine his parents despairing at the fact they sent him to Eton & still he’s useless. So they rack their brains to find something he can do & all they could think of was that he could eat… and so a “career” was built.

We’ve made this investigation free to read because so many people in Sheffield are affected by this story.

Our journalists have been knocking on doors for weeks and we’ve had to employ lawyers because of the legal threats made against us.

We can only do this kind of journalism with your support.

A London lawyer bought hundreds of Sheffield freeholds. Then the ‘very aggressive’ letters arrived Exclusive: The Tribune can reveal that Andrew Milne has threatened leaseholders with high court action. It ‘broke my heart’ one woman says

“It broke my heart, that was my savings towards a new car,” one woman who paid Milne tens of thousands of pounds told us. “He has just wiped me out.”

Who is Andrew Milne - the solicitor sending "very aggressive" letters to Sheffield homeowners?

My friend Mark Mardell was chucked off his Turkish Airlines flight at the weekend because he had Parkinson’s and his son had asked for assistance for him. (He’s written about it as a public post on Facebook but the link is proving hard to share outside,)

Reform’s Sarah Pochin forced to apologise after claiming adverts 'full of black people' drive her 'mad’ | LBC The Runcorn and Helsby MP was responding to a viewer live on air who complained about the demographics of advertising.

Nothing on the BBC Radio news this morning. Nothing I could find on their website. This is an MP from the party whose lead in the opinion polls normally ensures them wall-to-wall coverage. She spouts racist nonsense for which even she feels obliged to apologise. What on earth are they playing at?

If Labour cannot denounce mass deportation of permanent residents, Idi Amin style, what is the point of them?

Labour seems to be pursuing an even more self-destructive variant of the Rishi Sunak strategy: taking a position that will never win over Reform-leaning voters and simply infuriating and alienating the people who actually elected them to office.

Honestly what is the point of a Labour government that won’t take a stand against mass revocation deportation of people with permanent settlement rights?

If you won’t stand against anything you stand for nothing.

“You need to vote for us to stop Reform” is hardly going to work as a campaign slogan when you won’t even criticize a Tory MP proposing things more extreme than Reform (or Enoch Powell, or the BNP), and won’t stand up for the families such proposals threaten.

Apropos of nothing, I really do think UK journalists and politicians need some reminding that mass deportation of LEGAL immigrants, particularly those with permanent status, is far more extreme than even Trump's America and would basically place Britain completely on its own among democracies.

The worst sort of “jumpers for goalposts” take. Clearly he never went to a match in that era. I remember the police actively looking for a scrap with the away fans at a Brentford game… shouting “Cmon then. … you want some” where there was no violence or even a threat of it from the away fans.

Watching this government gives me some sense of what it must be like supporting the Scottish football team.

Endless disappointment briefly interrupted by brief glimmers of hope before defeat is snatched from the jaws of victory again.

I always remember when a famous bread company thought it would be a good idea to put a big Union Jack on their bags to convey the message that they were using British wheat. Oddly it didn’t seem to go down well in parts of Northern Ireland. 🤷‍♂️
