Finished this book a few weeks ago and it’s absolutely brilliant. It’s inspired me to hopefully visit a few more grounds in Ireland, after I visited Derry and Coleraine in the summer.

Cowards. They know they’re in the wrong. I hope the backlash is fierce.

They’ve known for ages. Shocking they’ve kept playing him.

They looked it. Guessing I won’t be seeing them at MK Irish next season.

I’d thought about heading to Tring but decided to go to Berkhamsted. Feeling very sad for the Hadley fans.

It amazes me what people are willing to excuse when a Govts policies have no direct impact on them. I've heard Labour Ministers & MPs gaslight disabled people constantly these past few weeks. Yet some are still willing to support them as they're not the Tories. They won't ever get my vote again.

Kempston Rovers 0-2 London Lions. A well earned 3 points for the Lions.

“Oxfam’s latest inequality report showed that the total wealth of UK billionaires increased by £35mn per day in 2024. Increasing taxes on the super-rich through a modest wealth tax could generate an estimated £24bn a year.”

Labour’s disability benefit cuts betray the vulnerable—fairer alternatives exist

Labour's £5bn disability benefit cuts hurt the most vulnerable. Fairer options, like a wealth tax, could fund support without harm

The Health and Disability Green paper will deliver tiny income gains at the cost of major losses for those with health problems or a disability. Restricting PIP qualification to save £5bn would mean between 800,000 & 1.2 million people losing support of between £4,200 & £6,300 per year by 2029-30.

Quote: Louise Murphy, Senior Economist at the Resolution Foundation, said:
“The package of measures announced in today’s Green Paper should encourage more people into work. But any living standards gains risk being completely over-shadowed by the scale of income losses faced by those who will receive reduced or no support at all – irrespective of whether they’re able to work.
Around one million people are potentially at risk of losing support from tighter restrictions on PIP, while young people and those who fall ill in the future will lose support from a huge scaling back of incapacity benefits.
The irony of this Health and Disability Green Paper is that the main beneficiaries are those without health problems or a disability. And while it includes some sensible reforms, too many of the proposals have been driven by the need for short-term savings to meet fiscal rules, rather than long-term reform. The result risks being a major income shock for millions of low-income households.”

At the heart of every attack on disability benefits is the myth disabled people “get perks”: a free car, loads of cash, a life off work. It misrepresents the reality of disability, whilst exploiting low wages and high living costs to make the public envy people in daily pain.

It is abuse and if you really think it’s productive sending those sorts of messages to anyone who’s impacted by these benefit cuts, you’re as disgusting as they are.

Drastic cuts to PIP will affect as many as 1 million disabled and ill people, pushing them into severe hardship, worsening physical and mental health, and isolation. There is no credible argument for pulling help from people shouldering the high costs of disability. Cruelty dressed up as reform.

I’ve voted Labour all my life. I proudly represented my local area as a Labour Councillor for 10 years. However I can’t vote for any Labour MP (or candidate) planning to support these cuts to disability benefits

Looking like I’ll be directly impacted by this. Very worried.
