Ollie @obazeley.bsky.social · 08/10/2026You won't find me disagreeing with your assessment of UK media. But the data in this article is fully sourced and transparent and a long way from a dubiously funded poll. You can still disagree with it if want, but you can't deny it's accuracy. Is all I'm saying taxpolicy.org.uk/2026/10/08/c...taxpolicy.org.ukTory IHT cut could cost £11bn - almost twice the advertised priceOur modelling suggests Badenoch’s inheritance tax cut could cost £7.7bn-£10.9bn a year and shift £60bn-£110bn from savings and investments into housing. 010
Ollie @obazeley.bsky.social · 08/10/2026Thanks for confirming the importance of well researched, sourced and compiled data. I'm not here for an argument, but for too long the UK has been dragged down by people voting on anecdote and feelings, instead of facts and data. 100
Ollie @obazeley.bsky.social · 08/10/2026OK. It would be interesting to see your data to compare to others. That would be useful. Thanks. 100
Ollie @obazeley.bsky.social · 08/10/2026Perhaps this encapsulates the difference between anecdote and data. 🤷♂️ 100
Ollie @obazeley.bsky.social · 07/10/2026Quality. Of course, Mikel will be like "thanks, guys, that's lovely. Now, back to business, please". 020

Ollie @obazeley.bsky.social · 03/10/2026💯. Try telling any of the squad those lads aren't English. 082
Ollie @obazeley.bsky.social · 03/10/2026Do they think Arsenal were 'pleased' to sell the 5 players to City during the period of time in question? There was no choice but to take the money but the it's an understatement to say the preference would have been to keep the players. 050

Reposted by OllieDan Neidle @danneidle.bsky.social · 01/10/2026Manchester City cheated Premier League rules, the Commission found. Did it also cheat HMRC? We've examined the decision and leaked Mancini documents. We think City likely failed to pay £12m in tax. There should be a criminal investigation. Thread: 611049443

Reposted by OllieGerry Hassan @gerryhassan.bsky.social · 30/09/2026The UK has always had a right-wing media. But they are now a hysterical, disinformation spreading cartel.

Ollie @obazeley.bsky.social · 30/09/2026Thier net spend in 2017/18 was positive £8m, and in none of those seasons was their net spend over £88m. In 2017/18 City’s net spend was £204m 😆 010
Ollie @obazeley.bsky.social · 30/09/2026They would have had the money. They shouldn’t have been spending it. It’s pretty cut and dried tbh. 100
Ollie @obazeley.bsky.social · 30/09/2026Plus. No one was spending £100m per year in 2012 to 2018. Especially not Arsenal! 😭 110
Ollie @obazeley.bsky.social · 30/09/2026But, regardless of why they were introduced, when they were, they should have abided by them. They didn't, on an industrial scale, and then were guilty of cover up and dishonesty. 100
Ollie @obazeley.bsky.social · 30/09/2026I think my dispute would be that not every club is doing that. We'll never know (other THAN Chelsea who got off incredibly lightly). 000
Ollie @obazeley.bsky.social · 30/09/2026Hmm, if you think I'm here to defend any of Chelsea's activities, you're sadly wrong. 100
Ollie @obazeley.bsky.social · 30/09/2026The rules were the rules and everyone else acted within them. Whether the rules were fair or just is a separate argument. Should we all live our lives circumventing rules we don't agree with? 110
Ollie @obazeley.bsky.social · 30/09/2026@mrjamesob.bsky.social - good instant reaction polling here. 000
Ollie @obazeley.bsky.social · 29/09/2026This stuff just removes any ounce of sympathy or thoughts of lenient punishments. Throw the book at them for doubling down. 010
Reposted by OllieMatt Browner Hamlin @mattbh.com · 29/09/2026Considering how much City distorted the transfer market this summer, them knowing they were guilty while doing so is incredibly egregious and shows yet again how they have fundamentally distorted the European transfer landscape. 1295
Ollie @obazeley.bsky.social · 29/09/2026Was kinda fun seeing the gold logo flash up so many times! 000
Ollie @obazeley.bsky.social · 29/09/2026Gotta to also say, if Arsenal released the statement City have just released it would make me deeply uncomfortable. Doubling down when so blatantly guilty is a terrible look. 1120
Ollie @obazeley.bsky.social · 29/09/2026Imagine how much since then also. Further investigations required surely? 151
Ollie @obazeley.bsky.social · 26/09/2026Didn't this charlatan also take the position of PM mid term, and only called a GE after illegally proroguing Parliament? Anything he says should be considered of zero value. 010

Ollie @obazeley.bsky.social · 25/09/20265 year transfer ban seems fair and reasonable, alongside a points deduction or relegation. And yes, retrospective compensation for all clubs effect (could be a lot!). 110
