Hmmm… who to believe… Andy Burnham or the compulsive liar who got sacked twice for lying, lied to Parliament, lied to The Queen, cheated on two wives and ignored the Ministerial Code. Tricky one.

Nathan Gill - Reform's leader in Wales - is serving a ten-year prison sentence for accepting Russian bribes. And still Farage insists that that Russia doesn't attempt to influence British politics.

Quelle surprise a super-rich exodus recent story is shown to be complete bollocks
This billionaire said to have quit Britain over fears of a potential Labour wealth tax actually moved to Monaco in 2014 when the Conservatives were in power.
Next.

In 2015 David Cameron privatised the National Fostering Agency, it's now being paid £160m a year straight to a New Jersey tax haven to manage the fostering of just 2,616 children
A tax free profit of £61,000 per child, and they don't even provide any care, that's the fosters job

Finally someone with a fucking brain that’s willing to call it out for what it is
The soft touch approach from cunts on prominent football podcasts has been utterly embarrassing
They were a nothing club and they deserve to have the book thrown at them

The Tories closed 23 prisons. You’d think Kuenssberg might mention that. Silence. She doesn’t want to jeopardise her £400k Robbie Gibb approved salary.

UAE basically saying, allow us to be corrupt or we will impose economic costs. Amazing.

This view that City made the league more competitive is… the opposite of the truth. It’s the most dominant spell ever seen in England:
- 100 and 98 points
- two trebles
- four in a row
None of these things had ever been done before

Bearing in mind they’ve almost tanked both Durham and Kent in 100 days, the chances aren’t looking good.
Just FYI - this is the horse-sh*t that anyone who signed up to Parler years back still gets! The usual "we'll deliver if you help us past this next thing - please donate"

Here's the MoS story as it appears in the paper. And to be clear, it was a minority section of Man City's support who invoked Helen's death in their attacks against me. I rarely even referred to her illness before she died.
The human cost of reporting on Man City’s cheating for 15 years. It’s on the Mail website today and will be in the MoS paper tomorrow (Sunday) but they backed my reporting 100%. That reporting continues on my Substack. Google it for details. dailymail.com/sport/football…

If this whole exercise by the UAE was to build its reputation, enhance its status and make it look like an attractive place to invest in or partner up with surely the City case has now made that an abject, and very costly, failure. Nation states simply should not own clubs
Mark Armstrong retweeted
A country virtually blackmailing another country because they got caught cheating in sport. This punishment should also result in the end of state ownership in the premier league.
Exclusive with @AlexDooler @DNair5
UAE officials have warned the UK government that the severity of Man City’s punishment could undermine their appetite for future grand-scale commitments in Britain, according to people familiar with the matter
They consider the Premier League’s actions to have an influence on the bilateral state relationship, the people said, asking not to be identified discussing undisclosed information
The extraordinary pressure comes after Andy Burnham faced criticism, including from within government, for saying Man City’s Abu Dhabi owners should not be disqualified specifically because of the investment they bring to Britain

Recorded public visits to Manchester: 1
Sheikh Mansour’s impact on Britain and Manchester goes far beyond football:
🏦 Helped rescue Barclays during the financial crisis
🏠 Thousands of new homes in Manchester
🏗️ Major regeneration of East Manchester
🎵 Helped deliver the £365M Co-op Live arena
🏨 New hotels and commercial developments
👷 Thousands of jobs created
🏆 Bought City’s first FA Cup trophy and donated it to the National Football Museum
⚽ Transformed #ManCity into a global football powerhouse
A legacy far bigger than football. 🩵

Mad how the Premier League's financial rules are so anti-competitive that West Ham, Crystal Palace, Spurs and Aston Villa have all won Euro trophies, Palace and Newcastle have won domestic cups, 8 clubs in UCL over 2 seasons + Sunderland/Bournemouth/Brighton all in Europe now.

Totally normal reaction from a government about a completely unrelated private business that absolutely has nothing to do with the state

Hang on so they were allowed to spend £400m even though they knew they were guilty, while clubs like Villa had to sell their whole team to follow the rules.
A disgrace.
Man City were aware of Premier League charges verdict in July.
