Never ever thought I would agree with Jamie Carragher but he's exactly right!
May 31
πŸš¨πŸŽ™οΈ Jamie Carragher on Ousmane DembΓ©lΓ© and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia performance in the Champions League Final against Arsenal; β€œLet’s not dress this up. Ousmane DembΓ©lΓ© has escaped criticism for far too long in this game – he always has. But that performance yesterday in the Champions League final against Arsenal? That should’ve blown the whole thing wide open and put him right under the microscope. Apart from stepping up and sticking that penalty away, he was an absolute non-factor. Invisible. Did nothing. No threat, no drive, no moments. Just floating around the pitch like he was scared to get hurt again. And it’s the same story with Kvaratskhelia! The Georgian was anonymous the entire match – quiet as a church mouse, offered nothing, never looked like beating his man or creating a single danger. He wins the foul for the pen and suddenly everyone’s raving, but come on… that’s not good enough at this level. Not in a final. These two lads are supposed to be world-class attackers, the difference-makers for PSG. Instead, Arsenal had them in their pockets for 120 minutes and PSG needed penalties and a bit of luck to scrape through. If you’re relying on one penalty and one clever foul to get you over the line in a European final, that tells you everything you need to know. They’re getting carried, they’re over-hyped, and it’s about time someone said it out loud. This expose should be the start of proper scrutiny, not another round of excuses.”

A season to be proud of. We pushed the boundaries over land and sea, and couldn't have done it without your support. Thank you, Gooners ❀️

The β€˜lost generation’ narrative is misleading because it treats Neets as an unchanging stock. Most current Neets will eventually find a job or training place. The policy aim should be to raise the outflow rate thereby reducing any scarring effects caused by Neet experience.
UK's 'lost generation' of a million jobless young people to cost Β£125billion A YEAR - with staggering 1.25million set to be Neets within five years, warns major report trib.al/cRgHwgk

Britain's welfare bill is mainly a symptom of economic failure. If wages had kept pace with productivity and living costs over the past 25 years, fewer workers would need state support, tax receipts would be far higher, fiscal drag lower and the wider economy far stronger.
Replying to @THemingford
The welfare bill is too high because too many people who should be at work aren't. Genuine claimants are lumped in with the lazy & feckless particularly now it's all called UC.

When it comes to arms spending, there are no fiscal rules. This extra Β£18bn adds to the increase announced in the Budget. But we must "maintain our position on the world stage" - even if people are dying on waiting lists and school buildings are unusable. thetimes.com/uk/defence/arti…

John spot on as usual 🀨😁
Just a thought. Wes Streeting owes his political status to the support he’s received over years from Peter Mandelson & Morgan McSweeney at Labour Together. He wouldn’t make a move against Keir Starmer without Mandelson’s say so. So look on this as Mandelson’s & Morgan’s revenge.

As Health Secretary, Wes Streeting deepened the privatisation of our NHS and handed over our data to Palantir, a company involved in genocide. I am sure his friend Peter Mandelson is very proud. Time to reinstate our NHS as a fully public service β€” and kick Palantir out!

It’s an absolute joke that the Starmer Labour Party NEC based in London are going to implement their own rules to ensure that the next @brumlableader is one who is committed to Labour Together faction. If you’re a Labour member in Birmingham you need to call out this BS.

On behalf of their client, Zara Sultana, Bindmans Media and Information Law Practise Group requires that I publish the following statement on X, and that such statement must be clearly visible and pinned to my profile for a continuous period of no less than 24 hours: β€œOn 30 March 2026, I published a post on my X account addressed to Zarah Sultana in which I stated that she encourages and incites violence and is friends with terrorists. Those statements are false. I was wrong and offer my sincere apologies to Ms Sultana for the harm and distress caused to her.” It is my very great pleasure to do this, and I reiterate my sincere and repeated offer to meet with Miss Zara Sultana in person to resolve our differences.

Starmer's resignation is not enough. What needs booting out is the politics he represents: corporate greed, anti-migrant rhetoric and endless war. My piece for @tribunemagazine. tribunemag.co.uk/2026/05/sta…

Palantir has been granted β€œunlimited access” to NHS patient data. This is the same company that is involved in mass surveillance and genocide. We did not consent to this. Get Palantir out of our NHS, now.

How the world works in a nutshell: giant corporations profit from an illegal war whilst the governments who wage them tell the rest of us to tighten our belts.
