Credit to @TFHipster for the excellent footage. It was the best angle for the Titanic music edit for Josh Barrett’s goal and someone had to do it. Enjoy! #atfc #FATrophy
Huge kudos to @WatfordFC for recognising the importance of fan ownership and offering the chance to make it happen.
Adding to @AFCWimbledon @DorkingWDRS @altrinchamfc and @SouthShieldsFC to also do this.
Here’s to hoping @OfficialShots will join them and raise on @Seedrs 🤞

We’re excited to announce that Republic Note will be launching on @avax.
This is a major milestone that marks the final leap before the Note’s market listing.
Details ↓
If you’re new:
Republic’s flagship investment product — the Republic Note — is a novel, dividend-paying digital security that offers investors exposure to our 750-asset (and growing) private equity portfolio.
Avalanche is the perfect partner for Note.
November was huge for their ecosystem:
· @Citi is now developing an FX solution on Avalanche
· @JPMorgan announced Onyx
· Hosted Avalanche House in Istanbul
Result:
60% growth in 7 days (!) — beating every other chain in the top-50 — and reaching #14 in the world by market capitalization.
Building on Avalanche means smoother, faster, and safer transactions for Note investors.
With @avax, we get:
→ scale, speed
→ flexibility
→ a dedicated subnet for Note (in 2024)
→ perfect alignment with our vision
→ eco-friendliness
Fired up for this partnership✊
With Ava Labs by our side, Republic is moving at full speed to trailblaze digital finance for retail investors—every day closer and closer to a future where private equity markets are accessible to all.

I’ve now helped Altrincham and now Dorking make fan ownership a reality through @Seedrs - so great to see it getting the coverage this courageous step deserves too!
If only we could make it 3 National League teams with @OfficialShots…. 👀

The real story with the #SVB fiasco is how 3 of the C-Suite withdrew substantial personal positions during a liquidity crisis….
That is quite literally the Captain and top crew getting in the life raft from a sinking ship leaving all passengers on board to fend for themselves.
This isn’t complicated…
Wearing an armband isn’t imposing beliefs on people.
If FIFA interprets it is, they must recommend a way players can represent their beliefs more amicably.
FIFA is literally politics, so “keep politics out of football” is not a valid response.
Inequality is due to reach insane levels in the UK after this #budget

Hours of my football supporting life waiting to see a trophy lifted by England…
…and I felt more proud than I ever expected.
The amazing progress we’ve made to collectively promote women’s sport - inspiring an entire generation to be who they want to be. Just 😃😃😃
Perhaps the most ridiculous thing I’ve read in this whole fiasco:
Cummings admitting he helped a man he knew was incompetent into No.10. 🤯
@GNetworkComms Hey team. Currently in a 3 person queue for your phone support for 30 mins…
Are you experiencing any outages in London? I’ve done all the normal resets but been without internet for 12 hours.
Her bravery 🙌….and then the revelation she’s only been fined £200 🤯
A Moscow court fined Marina #Ovsyannikova, who burst onto primetime Russian news last night with an anti-war poster, 30,000 rubles. @bazabazon
Did anyone in the 1922 Committee actually talk to their constituents?
Or did they purely use Boris’ precarious position as a way to further grab power for themselves by demanding concessions?
Man backs up man for assaulting his own daughter…

The *insane* inequality and inflation worries at the moment have been impacting me a lot recently.
I’m pro capitalism, I think it’s the best system for wealth creation and prosperity.
But Marx was absolutely right about the contradictions of capitalism:
A brief 🧵
Then we need more confidence in the state to distribute the wealth collected from taxation effectively.
It’s the individuals responsibility to recognise taxation is a cure to a system flaw.
It’s the states responsibility to ensure the proceeds solve the system flaw.
