How the hell did the reform MP taking Russian bribes not become headline news? He’d been in ukip,brexit & reform with Farage for years & he’s taking money from Russia to promote Russian interests. Why isn’t this everywhere & more questions being asked? Glad he got 10 years #Reform #Russia #Ruskiform
On Football Manager (2008), I won the World Cup in 2026/2030 with Uzbekistan - so no pressure but your ex manager has high expectations. Congratulations after many near misses.
Uzbekistan have qualified for the men’s World Cup for the first time.
you could not pay me to give a shit about what other people do if it doesn't endanger anyone else and i just can't understand people who feel differently

"In the eyes of this administration, immigrants who are undocumented are all “illegal immigrants” and these “illegal immigrants”, ergo, are all “criminals”. But, on so many levels, it’s just not true. It’s a popular myth pushed by the right that needs urgent debunking."
“In 2012, in Arizona v United States, the highest court in the land ruled that “as a general rule, it is not a crime for a removable alien to remain in the United States”. Got that? Not. A. Crime.” From my new Guardian op-ed:

I'm no expert, but I'm pretty sure you can improve a country without freeing criminals or worrying about what gender someone is 🤔
Club wrongly claiming there’s a national shortage of Bovril because they can’t admit they can’t serve hot water. One regular day of Swindon Town Football Club. Will never, ever happen. #STFC
