Such an awesome video
164 clubs across the top six tiers. One by one, they lose their unbeaten record 👀 Only one is still standing. @boreham_woodfc: P16 W14 D2 L0

Rachel Reeves have a delulu competition with Liz Truss
Rachel Reeves is living on another planet if she thinks that without her tax increases "the UK economy would have been weaker." Basically the results of her £68bn of tax hikes were: Reduced employment & recruitment (the OBR estimated a reduction of 50,000 in full-time headcount.) Weaker wage growth Higher consumer prices Reduced investment Lower profits & business margins Reduced household spending Weaker incentives to work & earn more 1/2

Imagine what Jesus is going through. BE HUMAN GOD DAMN IT!
🫶🏿❤️
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
This note is for commenters still confusing MICHEL Owono with JESÚS Owono. This tweet is by Michel Owono, NOT Jesús Owono. Jesús Owono was involved in the collision with Jesús de Miguel. Michel Owono is a different person and should not be associated with that incident. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jesús_de_…

Football Twitter needs to put the agendas aside today. A striker is gone too soon, and a goalkeeper is trapped in a lifetime of trauma over a freak accident on the pitch. Pray for Jesús de Miguel’s family to find strength, and Jesús Owono’s mental health, the guilt he is feeling right now must be eating him alive. This is a tragedy with absolutely no winners. Damn. A sickening reminder of how incredibly fragile this life is💔

Can't imagine what Owono is going through right now. Yes it is reckless, however split second decisions, you never think can end like this. Lot of empathy for him right now. Rest in peace Jesus de Miguel and condolences to his family. Shocking.
🔵⚪️ | Golpe fortísimo de Owono sobre Jesús de Miguel que hace que salten todas las alarmas. 🇪🇸👀 🙏🏼 Pronta recuperación a Jesús y que todo quede en un susto 🏟️ Tenerife - Andorra

Right - I am ready to buy a football club. Just need funding. Who can help?
🚨 Gateshead FC is now in real danger of facing winding-up proceedings ⏳ I understand HMRC have set a deadline of Wednesday (Nov 4) for progress before formal demands will be made. That would give the club 7 days to clear outstanding PAYE & VAT 🇺🇸 Flacks Group (an American private investment group) are ready to proceed with a takeover but need Shoreline Limited (fronted by Viktor Anichebe and who previously attempted to buy the club) to sign a waiver over money they claim they are owed by former club shareholders 🤝 This would clear the way for Flacks to complete their takeover of Gateshead, with Shoreline then able to pursue those shareholders separately ⚽ I understand Shoreline are currently in talks with the IFR to purchase League One Bromley 💰 Gateshead's players have not been paid & the club currently owes £200k to creditors 👀 Flacks' plans for Gateshead sound exciting & ambitious, with high-profile staff ready to come in

Really nice to see so many Poppies on peoples shirts today. Makes a nice change from seeing symbols for other countries you normally do on the morning commute

For anyone interested, it is not a straight line.
Huge milestone for me today, as I hit £70k this month. Super proud of this as it slowly ticks away. 29% growth from last year, and if I grow the same £ amount, only 2.5 years away. Think will hit $100k next year. Patting myself on the back

I’m on track to hit £100k net worth in the next 3-5 years. This sometimes feels slow when I scroll past £500k portfolios or the more bullshitty posts like '£1M by 28' or 'How I turned £10k into £500k in 2 years'. But I hate get-rich-quick crap. I’m here for the slow grind. Respect to those wins, but we need some realism. I’m proud of the medium-term goal to hit that in the first half of my 30s.Why my trajectory (and other slow burners) is actually impressive: - Most people in late 20s/early 30s are nowhere near £100k without inheritance or family help. - Building £100k from zero base, purely off salary + habits is fucking tough! It’s a slow burn with not a huge amount of positive reinforcement like the first £10k. You just have to keep going. - Lifestyle creep is always a risk, but with proper planning and structure it can be avoided. - This is sustainable, not volatile. I don’t need luck – but it will definitely help. Slow and steady wins the race – and the best part is: - This 3-5 year trajectory assumes all things remaining the same (salary, savings rate, mortgage equity/month, pension contributions etc). - Assumes 0% return – this is only based on my monthly inputs. - Doesn’t take into account random additional cash I get through structured oversaving for annual bills etc. I’m a big believer in goals. I have my long-term goal (£1mm). But to hit that, I need to hit this medium-term goal. And to do that I need to hit my short-term goals (monthly frugality and intentions with habits). How long did it take you to hit the £100k mark? Did you see the compounding growth as big as they say? How far away from it are you? #BuildingWealth #FIREUK #FIRE

First line, "This is a budget for the working people" Lets see if it is true, as mostly Labour has done budgets for people who do not work. Come on Healey, my hopes are low and somehow i think I will still be dissapointed

Just a reminder that REAL Unemployment Rate is >10%. This will now go higher
🚨 NEW: John Healey will increase the minimum wage for over 21s from £12.71 to around £13.20

Protected the welfare state whilst balanging the budget
I wanted to visualise Britain's state spending ahead of the Budget, so I've vibe coded an app which presents it as a disk drive. Take a look at the tradeoffs and see if you can make the budget fit: britains-disk.pages.dev

It really is that simple.
Hey @grok, what’s the best way for someone to ensure inflation doesn’t make them poor?

Every time ONS Unemployment Figures are released, I get reminded how many people have zero grasp of economic metrics and definitions.

People love to complain but its so easy to do these distances for a cheaper rates. here I found a way to get to Newcastle from London for close to 1/4 of the price
How have we let this happen as a country

Nigel Farage went to Dulwich College. It costs around the same as Eton.
🚨NEW: Nigel Farage has spoken on ITV's undercover investigation: "Not everyone's been to Oxford University. Not everyone's been to Eton. Not everyone expresses themselves in very carefully formulated language"
