That's a better headline.
A headline which says "Billionaire Man United owner says he has lost confidence in the UK" has the words "United owner says he" and "confidence in" crossed out in red. It is over a photo of Jim Ratcliffe, an aging white man with grey hair and beard in front of a large ship.

You and me both Steven. It says a lot about how lost the U.S. is that it didn't see that alone as a massive red flag.

I really don’t understand why the Government is so eager to let private companies bring these to UK pavements.

When an entire arena boos you for telling the truth, you quickly learn who has courage. Kris Kristofferson walking onto that stage and standing beside Sinéad as the insults rained down remains one of the most powerful acts of human decency I’ve ever seen. Three years resting in peace 🙌🏼🤍🙌🏼

And there’s more… More lies, more dodgy deals and denials.. Farage has bought 4 houses for cash since 2020 - the year we left the EU. And declared only 2 of them. Come on people. The man’s a hot mess of corruption, racism, national security threat and greed. Let’s bin him off.
From 'skint' in 2017, the Reform UK leader now owns five mortgage-free homes with his partner Laure Ferrari.
Only two have been declared to parliament

Nigel Farage and his partner have managed to build a mortgage-free property portfolio worth more than £4 million over the past decade.

BBC currently asking motorists who have bought massive cars if parking spaces are too small. “Yes“ says a lady who has bought an absurd monster of a car. No lady, the spaces are not to small, your car is too big. If the spaces are fine for my 6 seater MPV then they should be big enough for anyone.
