Takeaways from that: -Schlupp absolutely must be first choice LB for the rest of the season -Hatate is basically done -Idah is great when he's on it but too inconsistent to be our main man up front. Dreadful performance but just another European hangover. 10 points ahead minimum so can't complain.

"Anti-migrant politics will not build a single house, staff a single hospital or raise anyone’s wages. Instead, by echoing its rhetoric, the government is simply fuelling the rise of Reform UK" Well done to these Labour MPs, trade unionists, and members. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Whatever people may think of Jeremy Corbyn, Woodcock is no longer a Labour member, and that is an unequivocal positive about Corbyn's leadership of the party.

Immigration rhetoric over the past few days has been as infuriating as depressing. Fuck Starmer, fuck his government and fuck Labour.

What’s the point in refusing citizenship to refugees who have ‘made a dangerous journey’? What’s the point in publishing footage of people being deported? I’m sorry to say that this is simply a continuation of the performative cruelty we saw from the Conservatives.

I’m very proud of my son, Ben, for running a football school in our community. It was a pleasure to be interviewed alongside him to share our joint love of the grassroots game. www.theguardian.com/football/202...

Racism now becoming very much the mainstream in British politics. Not even trying to hide it any more.

How long are we gonna let these race-baiting sad acts dominate mainstream conversation with the line that “woke ideology” & multiculturalism are the crucial issues of our time? When will we demand our politics focuses on bringing us economic justice? Let’s make it 2025. Cmon.

Glasgow Celtic are the 2024 #PremierSportsCup Winners! 🏆 Congratulations to Brendan Rodgers & the Bhoys! 👏 #CelticFC🍀

Channel 4 documentary on benefits was ‘atrocity’ and ‘insult’ to disabled people in poverty, say activists www.disabilitynewsservice.com/channel-4-do...

capitulating to the right latest:

You cannot out-Tory the Tories on these issues. This is just more vile rhetoric from a government which doesn't want to enact humane migration policies.

Classic classism from everyone's favourite centrist FBPE comedian.

We might not have the riches or world class players of other leagues in Scotland, but we get some amount of entertainment value.

The ICC’s arrest warrants are long overdue. The Prime Minister & Foreign Secretary must immediately endorse this decision. That is the bare minimum. Will the UK government now, finally, honour its international obligations to prevent genocide and end all arms sales to Israel?

I am *shocked* to see that from the first government contracts handed out by the National Wealth Fund, EY and Grant Thornton both bagged work Both firms donated significantly to Labour before the election, providing members of staff to work in party HQ and Starmer’s office

Feel like these farmers protests could have been avoided, or at least mitigated, if Labour had people who were actually able to explain policy properly. Guess they're still figuring out that just because the press gave you an easy ride in opposition, doesn't mean you'll get one in government.

We could make a dent in England’s housing crisis tomorrow by repurposing empty homes • +261,000 homes are 'long-term empty' • When inc holiday & 2nd homes, 1 in every 25 homes in England are empty, +1 million. Meanwhile, +150,000 children are forced to live in unsuitable temporary accommodation

Reopening detention centres is a disgusting decision. Labour once again pandering to racists. BBC News - Ministers pledge to return more illegal migrants www.bbc.com/news/article...

So far my first impression of Bluesky is that my interest in 'sport' has been interpreted almost exclusively as American sport and, for some reason, Newcastle United.
