There should be space in the discussion of Manchester City's breach of Premiership rules for an examination of the UAE government's open contempt for rules and the dire and bloody consequences of their rule-breaking outside the realm of sport. A 🧵...

Well, well, well - if it isn’t the consequences of our own actions. It would appear that migrants are not, in fact, the fiscal drain we’ve been told they are by years if we go by the £4bn to £6.5bn shortfall that’s been caused by the precipitous drop in numbers under this government. Funny that.

It seems like the police are assuming the far-right losers are 'looking for an excuse' to do more damage and so must be given maximum space. In fact, they are turning a big dial that says 'thuggery' on it and constantly looking over at the state for the slightest sign of consequences.

Yes. “If you defund and deplatform anti-racists then that will force their movement underground, and then they will be truly dangerous!” is never, ever an argument you will hear from the right-wing media. Because they know very well that defunding and deplatforming *actually works*.

With all respect to the BBC, the reason this story "matters" is not about whether it distracts from Reform's conference. It "matters" because it is important our leaders are not conspiring to break the law.

Spectacular self-delusion. “But no matter how the Balogun story ends, it wasn’t at its core about politics or favoritism...It was about righting a wrong and minimizing the damage done to a team’s chances of winning the World Cup. What nation in the same situation wouldn’t have done the same thing?”
