Scandalous offside decision for Switzerland. Certainly looked onside, but if they're certain why aren't FIFA showing us the lines?
We have precious little confidence in FIFA anyway, with their ludicrous Peace Prize, the prices and Infantino
He's even worse than Blatter

Labour MP Claire Hazelgrove is peddling a ridiculous line on #Newsnight: "It's important we get the Defence Plan right." The problem is that, according to John Healey, Keir Starmer has *not* got it right. That's why he resigned.
She's looks ridiculous arguing that black is white.

John Healey's resignation letter is damning.
He suggests Keir Starmer knows what's needed, but won't fund it.
Suggestions in Westminster that net zero money and reluctance to confront backbenchers over welfare reform have eaten up budget.
Big problems for Starmer and Reeves

John Healey resigns as Defence Secretary - on the eve of the publication of the Defence Investment Plan, which he himself was due to unveil.
"The Treasury has been unwilling to commit the resources the country needs."
A major crisis for Keir Starmer.

I rarely retweet press releases from any party, but these are all important questions.
Nigel Farage is not normally camera-shy, but has been either silent or evasive on the subject of Harborne's donation. He needs to provide proper answers now.

Later this week it will have been 50 days since @Nigel_Farage last held a press conference.
Given he's had so long to get his story straight, @annaturley is calling on Farage to answer 50 key questions about his secret £5 million "gift". It's time he finally came clean.

I think this tells us that Luca Stephenson has a very busy agent who's trying to stir up interest competition.
Mentioning Blackburn is supposed to make Bolton fear we might miss out. LS looks a decent player to me, but I trust the board to make the right decision.

🚨 | Blackburn Rovers and Bolton Wanderers are both keen on Liverpool's Luca Stephenson.
Liverpool value him at £1m. Bolton are preparing a bid, but Blackburn will move if they fall short.

Katie Lam is an eloquent voice for the right, but is echoing Reform rather than the Tories with her assertion that the UK has two-tier policing. Notably, Kemi Badenoch usually recognises that some people have that view, but doesn't endorse it herself.

The story of Henry Nowak is utterly appalling and the police have big qns to answer.
Reform's Zia Yusuf attacks the BBC for airing a debate on a subject he's campaigning on.
He claims he's Shadow Home Sec, but he's not. Not even an MP. He's just a member of the public #WATO

This guy looks very handy indeed, at least on the basis of this compilation.
If he can show this energy and talent with #BWFC, David Watson will be an extremely good signing for us
I'm looking forward to the new season already!

Pat McFadden: 'Every meeting I have [w MPs] is "who can we tax in order to pay benefits to others".'
This shows Labour's biggest issue: The Govt doesn't control its own backbenchers, so can't get its agenda through.
Nick Thomas-Symonds doesn't acknowledge the problem

Rumours doing the rounds today that Bolton Wanderers are in for Liverpool's Luca Stephenson.
On the basis of this evidence, he looks handy to me. Committed, aggressive, quick and skilful. Reminds me of Conor Bradley, which can't be a bad thing

Hard to believe Nicola Sturgeon knew nothing about husband Peter Murrell's embezzlement.
Did she not see the motor home (£120k) or new car (£80k) on their drive? Did she not ask?
PM's guilty plea helpfully prevents details being aired in court which cd implicate others #C4News

Lucy Rigby offers an unconvincing first outing as Treasury Sec. She's there to offer good news on price cuts for food and bus travel, but doesn't seem to know anything about it. She hides behind "I don't want to pre-empt what Rachel Reeves will say later" Not good enough #r4today
