The UK government has, since April, spent no less than £61 billion - that’s £61,000,000,000 - on debt interest payments.
That’s equivalent to our entire annual defence budget - on just half a year’s worth of debt service costs, not paying back a penny of our national debt.
For £61bn you could build 40 state-of-the-art hospitals.
Or employ 100,000 nurses for a decade
Or fund free-at-the-point-of-use social care, across the entire UK, for three years.
Watch this short “When The Facts Change” video for more on the UK’s soaring debt interest bill - the biggest national scandal our mainstream media continues to ignore.
Another ground ticked off watching @ClitheroeFC the only downside is thats the full house for me in this league this season!!!

The central underpinning of progressivism is that disagreement with progressivism is a sign of moral failure.
Therefore, a white progressive man is perfectly comfortable calling a brown woman "racist" in public for disagreeing with him with no sense of irony.

I'm sorry, is this dimwit suggesting that before I take my 2.5 hour, £100 flight to Rome, I should first take a 3.5 hour, £150 train ride to Manchester?

“I would be really concerned to lose them.” Prime Minister Andy Burnham on the possibility of Manchester City’s owners selling up. What?! These are owners found guilty of serial breaches of the Premier League rule-book by three judges on an independent commission after a lengthy investigation. Owners who outraged other clubs and countless fans by flouting the rules and inflating sponsorship income with the Disguised Funding Scheme.
Owners who misled auditors and regulators, who threaten to bring this Premier League season – and, potentially, future seasons - to a standstill by their appeal, deny, delay tactics. Owners who are patently not proper custodians of a famous, historic club. Owners who many hope will sell up and ship out after bringing such shame and sham contracts to the game.
So these are astonishing, alarming comments from the PM. “I do actually thank the City Football Group and the wider ownership for the money that they didn't just put into the Etihad and the campus around it but also into the city," Burnham told the BBC’s Chris Mason.
Come on, PM. Read the room. Read the commission’s report. Read the belligerent statements from the Abu Dhabi owners and their chief executive like Ferran Soriano. Rather than thank CFG, perhaps thank the diligence of the Premier League in seeking to enforce its rules and protect the national sport. Perhaps thank the three judges for their pain-staking work in sifting through reams of evidence and coming to their considered conclusion.
Burnham spoke as a politician seemingly with one eye on diplomatic and trade links. He spoke as a former mayor whose city benefited from investment in east Manchester by Abu Dhabi. “They've been such a huge partner in the building of modern Manchester and obviously the building of Manchester City into the global force that it is.” And how was that building financed?
Burnham spoke as a politician and not the football fan that he truly is. The lifelong Evertonian is usually pretty sound on football matters. He misread the mood of many fans not wanting the possible return of drinking in Premier League stands but that was a rare misstep. This is far worse. This makes him look out of touch with the prevailing mood. He was speaking at Hill Dickinson Stadium. Maybe he should head to Anfield on Sunday week and witness the anger felt towards City.
Burnham did add that he wasn’t getting involved in the process and that City had a right to appeal if they felt harshly treated. But how does the PM’s sympathetic words for controversial owners help the independent football regulator charged by Government with leading the fight against those who risk the credibility of their club, who play fast and loose with the rules and who damage the integrity of the national sport?
How frustrating if Burnham’s words embolden City's owners and Soriano further. Bit of an own goal by No 10.

Don't want to stick my tin-foil hat on just yet, but has there been any investigative journalism into the links between the Emiratis and Andy Burnham's mayoralty? The local govt -- property development nexus in England is bent at the best of times, and there's something off about how quickly he's come out to bat for the Man City ownership.

The fact that the Home Office has felt the need to produce a booklet telling illegal migrants...
- Not to rape women
- Not to rape children
- Not to hit or kick their partner
- Not to control what a woman wears
- Not to control where a woman goes
- Not to whistle or make kissing noises at someone
- Not to take sexual images of someone without their consent
... should make the Home Office have a serious think about the kind of people they are shovelling taxpayers' money towards.

I would politely remind those claiming that Jason Arday was driven to his death by hateful right-wing media outlets and commentators that some of the most perceptive and well-informed coverage of the affair was published in the pages of the Guardian.
Fuckin goons sending stupid goon alerts. Thought my phone had been hacked for a minute. This government is run by absolute goons!!! #GoonAlert
