United have paid £852m in net interest payments since the Glazers took over. In other words, we could have invested like City without cheating, but instead have nothing to show for this money. Get those leaches and that Reform twat out of the club.

Manchester 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:

You should prosecute politicians when they break the small laws, because you won’t have the chance later, when they break the big ones.

I would love to ask a prominent BBC journalist to give me an example of an illegitimate concern. Is seems to me that it has become a question not of fact, logic, or ethics but of volume. If a big enough proportion of a village was anxious about Bigfoot or Chemtrails, BBC would cover it in a way...

Extraordinary story from @upshottowers.bsky.social about vain, vengeful, far-right money-sponge Jim Ratcliffe and his ongoing legal dispute with Ben Ainslie.
Last week, we told you about Jim Ratcliffe's crackdown on six-year-old ticket touts.

But since then, reader Tristan has been in touch, to remind us that the Man United owner is an equal opportunities bastard: he also picks on fellow Knights of the Realm.

Ratcliffe is currently in the midst of a bitter dispute with Olympic gold medalist Sir Ben Ainslie, over who owns the racing yacht Ainslie captained at the 2024 America's Cup.

According to court filings, Ratcliffe's underling, Man United director Rob Nevin, accosted Ainslie on the day of the America's Cup final, demanding he hand over the boat after the race and telling him:

If you don't give Jim what he wants, he will burn your house down.

The cailer refused co another INEOS minion turned up later, and chained and padlocked him in from the outside

Poor old Ben had to escape through the fire escape...

NEW Why holding a placard is a terrorist act, while causing disruption in a balaclava is not The mess caused by ministers and the police not taking terrorism law seriously By me at @prospectmagazine.co.uk www.prospectmagazine.co.uk/ideas/law/th...

Recent events in England now reveal the practical difference between terrorists and protesters. It would seem that terrorists peacefully hold placards and get immediately arrested, while protesters wear black uniforms and balaclavas and disrupt infrastructure and do not get arrested.

How did we get into this mess? How have we placed ourselves in the position where terrorism legislation is used to detain and prosecute peaceful protesters, while those adopting the terror tactics of private armies seem to be free to do as they wish?

The reason is that for some time British politicians have not taken terrorism legislation seriously, and that ministers have got into the habit of misusing terror laws for easy targets.

At least five companies have handled donations from Tommy Robinson’s supporters. According to Dispatches, four never filed accounts and three went into liquidation owing money to HMRC. Former DPP Sir Max Hill KC says the pattern could warrant a tax evasion investigation. #C4Dispatches

I find it baffling that Labour does not seem to get this. By equivocating on such a core issue, they’re making their own voters unsure about the core values of the party / government and hence more susceptible to voting for someone else.

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.
