Anyone wondering how the Man City thing is going to go needs to look back at the quotes in the original leak that lead to this: "rather spend 30 million on the 50 best lawyers in the world to sue [Uefa] for the next 10 years” and “the destruction of their rules and organisation”

The Manchester City case shows us how the global mega-rich now expect to operate with impunity | Jonathan Liew
When transnational alliances have scarcely been weaker, the way the club was allegedly run offers a bleak vision of a world driven by brute power and wealth, says Guardian columnist Jonathan Liew

If people don't want to pay tax to make this country function and help out the rest of society and particularly those who need help most... then maybe they should move to Dubai and stop bleating about it. Really sick to death of it.

In 2022, the biggest 20 providers of children’s social care made £310 million in profits. At Labour Conference we're calling on Josh MacAlister OBE MP, Minister for Children and Families, to end private profit in children's social care in England. #Labour26 Sign the petition: vist.ly/5kai6

A Gannet thread? Why not (got to do something with all those photos!). Adults, and chicks with white #DownyFeathers (for #BirdOfTheDay) contrasting with dark faces and beaks, feature in a photo from earlier this week at Bempton Cliffs. #Birds #Photography #UKWildlife #EastCoastKin 🌿
A photo of five Northern Gannets (Morus bassanus) - 3 adults and 2 chicks - on their rocky clifftop nesting site. Gannets are large seabirds, the adults are mostly white in colour but have black wingtips, yellowish-brown colouration on the tops of their heads (extending down the upper parts of the backs and sides of their necks), with their legs and webbed feet being black, with dark green line extending along the top of each toe. Their long beaks are grey, with black lines around the edges and another line running along each side of the upper part of the beak. Their eyes are grey, each with a black pupil and a blue rim. The chicks have blackish beaks and throats, and dark eyes, but their bodies are covered with white fluffy down.

Worrying scenes in the Channel today, for all interested in asylum policy and maritime tactics. A small boat from Normandy spent more than 30 hours at sea. Those on board now on their 2nd rescue vessel as Border Force forced to play cat and mouse with far-right activists who have their own boat.

Most housing benefit goes to private landlords. A big chunk of universal credit subsidises underpayed workers. The so-called welfare bill could be seriously reduced by fixing these underlying issues, not cutting actual welfare.

Lots of talk of growth ahead of the Budget, as if it were a baroque puzzle. Our problem is basic. It's that we no longer support the things which facilitate growth: Europe, immigration, higher education, tax simplification, policy stability. These are all choices and could stop making them anytime.
