Be interesting to see a deep dive into the role the owners have played in “Manchesterism”
Closing Labour conference, deputy leader (and Manchester City fan) Lucy Powell tells the party's conference: "Can I just say to all those United fans who have been gloating all week - you're still crap and you know you are."
I'm sure that'll go down well.

Would be absolutely mad to do this
NEW: Andy Burnham has hinted at a new multibillion-pound spending commitment if he becomes PM, saying that more than 3.5mn women “deserve” compensation over what he regards as a pension scandal
Earlier I attended a Makerfield hustings event hosted by @MENnewsdesk, in which Burnham said: “I stick by campaigners that I support. I stuck by the Hillsborough families, I’ll stick by the Waspi women because they deserve some recompense for the unfairness.”
Stressing he wouldn’t ditch his longterm support for Waspi women, he said he felt “uncomfortable” that some politicians threw their support behind a cause but then went into government and “didn’t do anything”

The lobby acting like they are above the dram ma while absolutely loving the drama is one of the reasons politics is in the state it’s in - discuss

The bill is massively flawed but as is having Bishops making laws
The Bishop of Newcastle reminds the House that we have a duty of suicide prevention that should be taken seriously. Remote consultations have been proven not to be without harm. They have no place within eligibility assessments for assisted suicide.

Had this on video with the 3-1 win against the scousers she round after
35 Years Ago Today:
Manchester United beat Arsenal 2-6 in the Rumbelows Cup.
19 year old @Sharpeyofficial scored a hat-trick (his first was an outrageously good goal).

Any changes to pensions that doesn’t start with getting rid of the triple lock isn’t serious
Rachel Reeves will announce a stealth tax raid on retirement savings, a move experts said would reduce take-home pay and cut the size of pension pots
The chancellor is expected to use the budget to limit a tax break on pension contributions for both employers and employees to raise up to £2 billion a year
Reeves has decided not to cut pension lump-sum withdrawals due to concerns about the impact on pensioners. It means people who retire will be able to continue making tax-free drawdown payments worth 25 per cent of a total pension pot up to a maximum of £268,275
The chancellor will instead target salary sacrifice schemes as she attempts to fill a gap in the public finances of up to £30 billion
Reeves is expected to use the budget to cap the amount of someone’s salary that can be sacrificed without incurring national insurance payments at £2,000 a year
Any pension contributions over that level would result in an employee paying the full rate of national insurance of 8 per cent on a salary of less than £50,000 and 2 per cent on income above that
There are concerns that the crackdown will penalise people for “trying to do the right thing” and save for their retirement as well as being detrimental to company pension schemes

It wasn’t an injustice, the problem was MPs indulging the campaign and telling them it was
'You're not just talking about Labour politicians, you're talking about me as well, and I own up to that...'
@MichelleDewbs challenges Labour MP Barry Gardiner on his party's broken commitments to the Waspi women over State Pension age.

Not an ADVERT to visit a
Place that doesn’t mention bad things, shocking - sure the visit America adverts have the school shootings heavily mentioned
There is an advert to VISIT ENGLAND a BLOCK long on Sunset Blvd. They forgot to show the scrotes on scooters that steal your phone and handbags or the gangs that go round fighting in the street with machetes and stabbing people. Who’s paying for this??

The mail has stoked the flames and actually you can blame the British people who are rioting
My view.
This problem has been caused by smug politicians who have refused to listen to the concerns of British people. It has festered and now it has boiled over. Parliament must listen, Parliament must act but it must not blame the British people.
