Our Chair provides an update on meeting with Dusan Bogdanovic. #oufc

Full move for the #oufc goal last night ⚔️

I believe this will be considered one of the most important videos in US history from this time.

Hopefully the chicken suit is a rental and go back after the vote tonight!

Absolute bollocks, he’s a clueless clown and can’t manage without prompts. Really simple, losing your father doesn’t make you any thicker that is for sure. Excuses Excuses. Just accept he’s a puppet who’s at the front of a shower of shite. UP THE REFORM 🩵🩵🩵🩵🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

There will be no PMQs today, for which Andy Burnham must be relieved and the nation should be grateful.    He’s a dud at the despatch box. His last two performances have been a car crash and caused gaffes that required immediate corrections and clarifications from Number 10.    Even more worryingly, he also managed to destroy the long-standing consensus that national security and defence of the nation is always the government’s number one priority.  Instead he put it behind increasing the welfare budget. I am sure Putin was buoyed to hear such  nonsense.   Burnham’s typically vacuous line, on a par with his  ‘hope in every heart’ and ‘growth in every post code’, ‘our national security cannot come at the expense of social security’ was evidently prepared the night before and designed to curry favour with his left-wing backbenchers.   Saying such a thing may well have pleased the student union politics societies, but we do actually expect Prime Ministers to have the steel and the gravitas to stand up for the national interest and take on the left-wing extremists.  Unfortunately, we have a Prime Minister who needs to be loved and desperately craves the adulation Jeremy Corbyn had from them.   If that wasn’t bad enough, Number 10 also had to issue a swift correction regarding Burnham’s openness towards granting a second Scottish Independence referendum saying the Prime Minister ‘mis-spoke’ and it wasn’t ‘exactly the same’ as a border poll in Northern Ireland.   Only the week before in reply to Labour MP Tan Dhesi who told him ‘vibes’ weren’t enough when it came to defence spending, Burnham confirmed that his government would hit the target of spending 3% of GDP on defence by 2030,  only for the Number 10 machine to ride to his rescue again to say the the PM had ‘mis-spoke’ and that the PM was referring to the 3.5% by 2035 NATO goal rather than the 2030 timeline.  It seems Burnham hasn’t the first idea about what his government is or isn’t doing.   The Prime Minister’s error strewn performances have many of his backbenchers belatedly realising they have backed a loser. His inability to prepare or even to take PMQs seriously has got them nervous.   Tony Blair described PMQs as a ‘bowel-moving, terror-inspiring’ experience, Harold McMillan threw up before performances, whilst Jim Callaghan worried about the unpredictability of the occasion - but none of this appears to have dawned on Burnham who sidles into the Chamber at 11.55am casual and ill-prepared.   Old Labour lags say openly to those of us on the opposition benches that Burnham’s a nice enough guy, just not up to the job.  Others call him a windbag with an ego the size of a planet which is why he lost the previous two leadership elections he contested.   But what’s clear for all to see, Burnham is a disaster at the despatch box.

How are any Under 5s being forced into marriage - in the uk?!We are told repeatedly there is no sharia law in the uk. Yet this is happening. I despair our trajectory.

If the Mills deal represents an uplift of circa £500k-£1m then it’s a deal you do. Good player but not an absolute game changer. Don’t take the risk he gets injured and the asset depreciates. Not gone the right way about it but it’s modern football. We move on. #OUFC

How ironic that honest Brits leaving on aircraft miss flights due to passport queues, but illegal migrants arriving on boats get hotels with no passports at all

I'm pretty sure Jason Arday's huge book advance would be enough to cover his funeral costs. Give your money to a more deserving cause.

The only person responsible for Jason Arday's death is Jason Arday. He was a liar and a fraud who was rightly exposed for what he really was by academics and journalists who were simply doing their job. No one forced Arday to make up lie after lie about his life. He chose to do that. And he did it for financial gain and to bask in the applause it brought him. He used those lies to deceive people into giving him a job he didn't merit, a lucrative book deal he didn't deserve,  as well as fame and adulation he didn't earn.  And when he was found out, he called in the police and expensive lawyers to shut his accusers up, and his failed students who complained were branded as racist. Cambridge University and Jesus College enabled this liar by lauding him as brilliant when he wasn't even mediocre. They should ask themselves why they put their DEI religion above the need for fairness in their appointments processes, above the needs of Arday's students and, most importantly, above the truth. Arday's family and friends should ask themselves why they chose not to speak out to expose his lies which they must have known to be untrue.  The police should ask themselves why they thought it acceptable to investigate an academic and a journalist simply for asking questions about Arday's fraudulent CV.  The BBC and Arday's many other deluded cheerleaders should ask themselves why they were so desperate to believe Arday's outlandish claims in the face of all the evidence. The thousands of the great and the good in academia, politics, media and law who signed the Good Law Project letter backing Arday should ask themselves why, without any justification, they outrageously branded Arday's critics as racists who just wanted to bring down a successful black man because of the colour of his skin. All of these people made their own contributions to Jason Arday's life. And arguably all of them contributed in some way to his decision to take his own life when his fantastical claims were finally exposed for what they really were: lies. The idea that those who exposed Arday as a lying fraudster are to blame for his death is as laughable as it is outrageous.  The idea that Arday was "hounded" to his death is absurd. He chose to tell every single lie himself and he even chose to continue those lies in his resignation letter from Cambridge. He is not the victim. He is the perpetrator. The claim that Arday's downfall was only a front page story because he was black is also ridiculous. He chose to tell the lies that made him a front page story in the first place.  I feel sorry for those who loved him. It is very sad that he has chosen to take his own life rather than face the consequences of his own actions, which should have resulted in a criminal conviction for fraud.  But actions have consequences. This isn't about right and left. It's about right and wrong.

🚨 Incredibly, Vodafone say they stand by their decision to give free SIM cards and data to military aged men breaking into Britain. The CEO makes £10m a year as her firm aids and abets illegal entry into the UK and endangers British women and girls. Unless they announce they are ending this program and cancelling the SIM cards, a Reform government will revoke visas for all foreign nationals on the Board of Vodafone Group Plc. A number of their directors appear to be foreign nationals, including Maria Pilar Lopez Alvarez, Jean-François van Boxmeer, Delphine Ernotte Cunci, Michel Roger Demaré, Deborah Kerr and Kandimathie Christine Ramon.  I will use the powers of the Home Secretary under the Immigration Act 1971 to ensure they are barred from Britain, on the basis that by assisting illegal entry their presence is not conducive to the public good. The days of gilded elites enriching themselves while exploiting hard working British people will soon be over.

If Reform uk were around in the 1800s they would say abolishing slavery is woke

Revealed: The president of Indonesia’s football association (and owner of League One club Oxford United) has told me it will vote in favour of the FIFA president Gianni Infantino’s controversial plan to sell a stake in the World Cup’s commercial rights. news.sky.com/story/indonesia…

I can understand a minister or shadow minister suffering from burnout and consequently returning to the back benches. But a backbench MP? With no formal responsibility other than voting? What is it that time is being taken out from? What is it that there is a ‘leave of absence’ from? MPs aren’t employees. Is this just a letter to say no surgeries for a few weeks?
