I attempted something less ambitious than this whilst watching Youngest the other week. Suffice to say that it did not end as well.

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:

In February 1972, 20 students from Glasgow School of Art greeted Gordon Campbell, the Scottish Secretary of State, as he opened the Charing Cross section of the M8. They waved banners that are as relevant now as they were then as Campbell passed beneath in the Lord Provost's car. 📷 Newqsquest

“I don’t expect home secretaries Conservative or Labour to prioritise Britain’s national security and I’ve given up on the idea that British governments should have at least one minister who actually likes Britain, but even so they could tone it down a bit.” spectator.com/article/is-t...

Is the government trying to radicalise me?

That’s what you call soft power: Britain has established such a reputation for Islamism that Europe is sourcing its alleged jihadis from us.

Our latest price cap forecast shows household energy costs could go up by 16% in January, the biggest rise in 4 years, as the conflict in the Middle East continues to disrupt gas supplies to the UK and the rest of the world. Read our full story: www.cornwall-insight.com/press-releas...

The commitment to not hold a general election until 2029 can probably be taken with a pinch of salt.

Burnham’s brand of patronising tweeslop reigns supreme

Burnham’s announcement of the scrapping of the triple lock would, he claimed, raise money to 'build up our national care service'.

To undermine the integrity of the competition is reprehensible enough, but to then undermine the integrity of an independent commission of KCs is even more so. www.mancity.com/news/club/ma...

The Lambeth Green Party opposed a development that will fund and build roughly 500 social homes - enough to house one tenth of the local homeless population. If they don't support this, what will they support?

It cost a fortune to take one Stafford boy to Wembley last year and, in precisely one year’s time, it will be costing a lot more than that to take both of them to Knebworth. Christmas presents? Christmas and bloody birthday. They had better play Columbia this time.

We’re acting to support those who can’t rely on help from the bank of Mum and Dad. Our Your First Home scheme will help more families get their first rung on the housing ladder with a deposit of just 2.5%. Less to save upfront and lower monthly costs. Help is on the way for first-time buyers.
