People criticising Man City fans - 'they're shameless, no remorse'… But put yourself in their position - how would you feel if the world started shouting at you that the last 18 years of your football life was a sham, a fraud? The fact that many are in denial is not a totally unreasonable reaction

Roger Cook & Roy Hattersley have died today. Cook was one of the first MSM journalists to help expose the truth about Hillsborough, in 1994. Hattersley was still in denial about collusion b/w Thatcher & SYP as late as 2010, when he dismissed any link to me as 'conspiracy theory'

Liverpool's transfer/executive dealings may point to one possible outcome: FSG are looking to sell a significant stake in the club, hence the reluctance to replace Hughes, Edwards or Slot. A new buyer would be unlikely to want a recently installed leadership team that's not to its liking

Well done to Green MP Hannah Spencer for calling out parliament's booze culture. And all we get from the Reform crew behind her is 'Sort your policies out.' Reform's policies are so well sorted that in his TV election broadcast before the local elections, Farage didn't list a single one of them

MPs heckle as Green MP @greenpartyhan.bsky.social asks whether MPs should be drinking on the job: “MPs shouldn’t be drinking on the job, given that we vote on huge issues like the climate crisis, disabled people’s rights, child poverty.”

Fujitsu UK pays staff bonuses, ZERO contribution to compensation for victims of the Post Office scandal. Fujitsu helped secure false fraud convictions of postmasters. Public purse paid £1.5bn+ compensation. No one prosecuted for knowingly lying to courts. Fujitsu still enjoys govt contracts.

Wes Streeting seems to be snookered. Labour's soft left will unite behind Ed Miliband to block him. 'Wes' is now branded the villain in the plot to topple Starmer, and being dubbed a 'bottler' by some of his supporter-MPs, who may now have resigned for nothing. A good day for Starmer and Burnham
