Haha very true Alastair. Although I do have my moments 😉
If you wrote some of the tosh they write, Stuart, you'd go 'no-name' too.

This censorship law is a wolf in sheep’s clothing. The real goal is to enable the UK government to track everyone.
It’s important to know that the social media ban for under 16s is not a ban for under 16s. It is a ban on *selected* social media for EVERYONE. Until you identify yourself.

What I love about Andrew is he doesn't have an agenda, or a particular loyalty to any political party or politician, just an agenda for the truth.

We need a top class experienced replacement for Casemiro. Mason Mount is good but can't be relied on, he's injured most of the time.
🇵🇹 Bruno Fernandes 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 Kobbie Mainoo 🇧🇷 Éderson 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 Alex Scott 🇵🇹 Mateus Fernandes 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 Mason Mount Is that group of midfielders strong enough for next season? 🤔

When you see what civil servants receive for just doing the job they're paid to do, usually a K, Lou, in my opinion should receive at least that for his tireless good work.
Delighted to speak to Lou Macari after he was awarded MBE. A phenomenal man. 👏👏👏 “I get more people talking to me now about the homeless situation in this country than about the football, and I don't mind that. I'm delighted that there's still people who are interested."

UK GOVERNMENT SACKED ITS OWN BORDER WATCHDOG David Neal was the man the government hired to inspect UK borders and make sure they actually worked. He did exactly that. What he found was not good. He wrote it all up in official reports. The Home Office locked those reports in a drawer. When he finally went to a newspaper to warn the public that private planes were landing in the UK with almost nobody checking who was on them, the Home Secretary James Cleverly @JamesCleverly fired him. Here is what Neal actually found. At London City Airport, only 21% of flights flagged as high risk were checked by immigration officers. Not some of the time. As a yearly average. He said it was a scandal and dangerous for the country. The Home Office said he had the numbers wrong. Then they fired him. At the moment he was sacked, the @HomeOffice was holding back 15 of his finished inspection reports. Some had been sitting there for 18 months without being shown to the public. The agreed deadline for publishing them was eight weeks. Not one report met that deadline across his entire three years in the job. When they finally released 13 of the reports, they chose to do it on the same afternoon that a separate major inquiry published its findings... Draw your own conclusions. What was actually in those reports? Border control posts left with nobody manning them. Officers at e-passport gates described as distracted and without basic radios. The whole airport border operation rated as neither effective nor efficient. Neal told MPs directly: I have been sacked for doing my job. He also told @BBC the Home Office is dysfunctional and described senior officials rolling their eyes when he brought them his findings. He said the government contacted him three separate times warning him not to speak publicly about the unpublished reports. He had almost no other way to get the information out. The people who fired him for raising border security concerns were the same people who spent years promising the public they had taken back control of the borders.

"A Treasury source". Faceless cowards who hide behind closed doors.
This is an outrageous, disgraceful smear on John Healey — and an outright lie. There are a ton of ways to finance more for defence — starting with net zero — without taking a penny from schools or hospitals. Reeves should be ashamed of herself for allowing this nonsense. Suggests she’s really desperate.

Another interesting and informative read.
Monetary wise, spending 350m this summer in total and 200m on the midfield is not excessive. The issue MUFC has, is that it has carried a debt to the squad from way before Fergie left, every single season. We need 6 players, and sign 3-4. Year in, year out. Brighton's biggest spending during one summer window is bigger than United's biggest spending during a summer window, ever. This is Glazerism at its worst. The cost for filling a hole on the squad 'one year in advance' is marginal. You are making the investment anyway. You improve the season you make it. But you of course pay for it 1 year earlier. It is probably not optimal to sign 3 midfielders one summer. Being successful on the transfer market is all about opportunities. If we look at the most successful signings, they could rarely have been done is substituted with an equally successful signing 12 months earlier or 12 months later. There is a limited number of opportunities on the transfer market. Signing Julian Alvarez was one of City's best signings. If they waited 12 months, they could never have made an equally good signing. But the big issue is that we always keep pushing problems forward. In an ideal world, you look to sign 2-3 players each summer. 20 player squad, 5 year contracts, 4 contracts are up each summer, you resign 1-2 and replace 2-3, very roughly of course.

Just a pity you haven’t increased defence spending to cover the cost of this necessary 14% pay rise. You’re taking it from other parts of the defence budget, further hollowing out our military, which started under the Tories.
Labour has increased the pay for our armed forces by 14% since we formed the government. We said we would renew the contract between the nation and those who serve and we meant it. 🇬🇧

SUPERB! Trevor Phillip's BEAUTIFULLY exposes David Lammy and Labour's sickening hypocrisy. He shows him the receipts of them ALL saying it's ok to feel "fury" and "anger" over George Floyd, while they criticise Farage for saying the same about Henry Nowak. Satisfying to watch.

One of Tonali or Baleba is worrying, chalk and cheese. 😕
Manchester United are now working on a deal for Mateus Fernandes, with one of Tonali or Baleba the targets after that. Don’t forget about Ederson, though. United have a plan for the Brazilian. My insight on Ederson can be found here: winterburnonunited.substack.…

A very talented goalkeeper, I really hope we don't sell him. If he were our No2 I'm sure he'd get plenty of game time next season.
Vitek is heads and shoulders above James Trafford in terms of goalkeeping, a waste to lose him for ~ £1m to £3m. Carrick got a lot on his plate. But wouldn’t be against playing Vitek in all games except the PL…
