Amazing how the Tories had 14 years to build more prison places but didn’t, but now we should totally believe they’ll do it next time 🙄 (plus sure I heard the problem was staffing these prisons not the building of them) www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Tories pledge to build 50,000 new prison places
The party says its proposals would stop prisoners being released early and cut crime.

Hate hate hate the brass band playing songs throughout this Wales game, sorry but singing general old songs isn’t what a football ground atmosphere should be about.

Didn’t take Norway long to open up Wales, and it wasn’t even Haaland Was surprised earlier tbf that they can’t even sell out at Cardiff’s ground, capacity 33k. Lots of empty seats.

Christian Purslow just loves getting his name into the media, saw a ‘source’ on an earlier BBC News story, described as someone “who held a senior executive position at one Premier League club before moving to another” and knew instantly it was him 🙄 www.bbc.co.uk/sport/footba...

Well this sums it up perfectly! Good to see someone in the media prepared to challenge the ridiculous FFP & point out it only exists to stop the likes of Man City, Villa, Newcastle, Everton etc from threatening the established elites. It’s why I’ve never blamed City for breaking the rules.

Just saw another of Ed Sheeran’s opening acts have pulled out of his tour, well done Lukas Graham for having a conscience & caring about more than money!
Lukas Graham Instagram statement:

It's hard to watch families in other parts of the world burying the people they love.
We should be able to speak about war, about civilians being killed, about children who deserve to grow up. Wherever they live. Whatever flag flies over them.
I grew up in Christiania, a small community in Denmark where speaking your mind was part of everyday life. Having more money didn't make your opinion worth more than anyone else's.
Money doesn't give you the right to own the conversation.
Nobody's bank balance should decide who gets to speak or which suffering we're allowed to acknowledge.
I love Ed, and I'm grateful for everything we've shared. That hasn't changed. But I can't put these words out into the world and carry on with this tour as things stand. We're withdrawing from the remaining dates.
I'm sorry we won't be there. This is a difficult decision, but it's one I need to stand by.

If people take criticism of Israel as criticism of them, then it’s because they agree with Israel’s actions and don’t think that murdering 20,000 children is unreasonable. Yes Hamas was wrong to kill 1200 Jewish people, but that doesn’t mean you get to commit genocide on the population of Gaza.

I’ve always hated Ed Sheeran Now I have a reason beyond his face and his bland music. By suggesting a Palestine flag or wanting Palestine to be free and not the subject of genocide is ‘taking sides’ is not acceptable in 2026. We know Israel is the problem.

4.5yrs is not enough jail time for killing someone, and obviously she won’t even serve that! She drove dangerously, went on to a pavement, and hit 2 people. She’s ruined a family’s life. It’s disgusting how leniently we treat drivers who kill people in this country! www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Has to be said. There was a lot of empty seats before our 2nd goal. Hope all them rue missing a great moment in our new stadium. I’ll never ever understand leaving early, you know when the match finishes, factor it into your day. I’ve never left a game early & never would.

3x as much? Sorry that sounds like bullshit. There’s no way he was on less than £100k a week at Spurs, and I’d have imagined at least £150k. So are they saying Trabzonspor are giving him £300k-£450k a week?! I don’t believe this.

Hard not to smile reading these, (despite the shitshow that’s gone on elsewhere), this is a deal I fully expected to get done and glad it has. Hope he can stay fit, and we use him sensibly, still allowing George, Armstrong, Rohl etc to get game time as well 💙

While it’s disappointing to have only one striker at the club, I’m strangely not that arsed about Balogun. Sounded like a bargain at £15m. Sounded excessive at £45m. If he wants to stay in France then fuck him, he has no ambition, and without the desire he’d have flopped for us anyway.

I’ll be annoyed if we don’t sign Balogun and a RB (presumably Maitland-Niles) But I’m not gonna cry arse right now because we still don’t know what’s gonna happen. I don’t get why it’s controversial to Everton fans that some of us just want to wait for facts rather than obsess over rumours 🤷🏻‍♂️
