🚨 According to the Nuffield Trust, the implications of the UK/US trade deal on medicines, could leave the UK with 13,500 fewer NHS staff by 2028 & a further £660m of cuts from other areas of NHS spending "the government has refused to publish its impact assessment on the deal."

So UAE threatening the UK by saying investment will be affected in future if Man City charges are upheld…. Basically “let us cheat”. Integrity not a thing then. Laughable, if they’re not expelled then the games done with.

Rui Pinto, the man behind the Football Leaks website, has posted a detailed allegation about Gianni Infantino’s role in UEFA’s handling of Manchester City and PSG in 2014, citing material revealed through Football Leaks. These are Pinto’s claims, and they’re worth reading in full below.
Screenshot of a post by verified account Rui Pinto (@RuiPinto_FL), dated 30 September 2026. Pinto alleges that Gianni Infantino, while UEFA General Secretary in 2014, improperly intervened in investigations into Manchester City and PSG, sharing confidential documents and helping both clubs avoid potentially harsher sanctions. He says the details were revealed through Football Leaks and concludes that Infantino has become “a cancer on football” who should have no place in the game’s future. The post shows 2.2 million views.

Wages taxed at rates of 20%-45%. Earners also pay national insurance. Capital gains taxed at rates of 18% to 24%. By taxing capital gains at the same rates as wages £12bn to £14bn could be raised. More, if NI charged. Why are workers taxed at higher rates than return on wealth Will the govt act?
