How much does Man City owe your club? • Pick their punishment. • Rewrite 18 Premier League seasons without them. • Hand their trophies to the teams they beat. • Add up the bill. passmode.shop/asterisk

asterisk — the Premier League without Manchester City
Set Manchester City's punishment and watch 18 Premier League seasons rewrite themselves: new champions, cup winners, European places and relegations.

I think once black clad men are interfering with rescues at sea, we are past "legitimate concerns". Once they're attacking boats, and risking the lives of everyone on board, it's just thuggery. The Home Secretary's statement is on the side of criminals. There's no other way to read it.

In the office we currently have Ed Davey's conference speech on BBC News on one TV and Trump's UN one on another. It's very disconcerting every time I look up at the former.

The whole fury and might of the enemy must very soon be turned on us. 

2
CHURCHILL:
Hitler knows that he will have to break us in this Island or lose the war.

3
CHURCHILL:
If we can stand up to him, all Europe may be free 
and the life of the world may move forward into broad, sun-

BBC PRESENTER:
Thank you prime minister

8
CHURCHILL:
What's he doing here

BBC PRESENTER:

You don't debate fascists

10
HITLER:
Oh here we go with ze Godwins law!

As Deutsche Bank is being raided for the third time this year, it’s worth remembering that when Germany pitched Frankfurt as the home of the EU AML Authority , one of its selling points was that the authority’s onsite inspections would be within walking distance.

Per the new @privateeyenews.bsky.social, while David Sullivan was banned from contact with the women's and youth team, Karren Brady spoke in the Lords in support of an attempt to dilute the new football regulator's fit and proper test by narrowing the scope of civil cases that could be considered.
THE BRADY HUNCH

KARREN BRADY resigned as vice-chair at West Ham United in April, it was said, to focus on other interests and her work in the House of Lords. It was impeccable timing, coming just before the club was relegated from the Premier League and its co-owner, former pornographer David "Slug" Sullivan, stepped down ahead of a Times and a Panorama investigation into serious allegations of sexually exploitative behaviour towards women (see Eye 1677).

Baroness

Brady knew Sullivan van had been banned by the Football Association from contact with the West Ham women's and youth teams due to safeguarding concerns three vears ago. but via her lawyers at Carter-Ruck she stated that she had relied on the principle of a "presumption of innocence" in continuing to work at the club and had "no knowledge" of the Times and Panorama allegations. Sullivan denies all wrongdoing.

Brady may have had no knowledge of those specific cases, but there can be little doubt that the woman who worked closely with Sullivan at his Sport Newspapers and football clubs for more than 30 years (Sullivan appointed her managing director at Birmingham City in 1993. when Brady was 23) was aware of other allegations.

Former Birmingham Mail editor Steve Dyson recalls Brady acting as middle-woman when he wanted to put allegations of sexual misconduct to Sullivan when he was co-owner of Birmingham City in 2008. The woman involved later dropped the case.

In the House of Lords, Tory peer Brady has argued to dilute the football governance bill. She told the Boardroom podcast, co-presented by Jack Sullivan (son of Davidany civil proceedings, regardless of their nature or relevance, to count against someone in an ownership determination".

proposed football regulator was "a solution in gulaton search of a problem".

In December 2024, Brady spoke in favour of an amendment to the bill's revised ownership suitability test. The bill stated that when the regulator checks a person's fitness to own or direct…

This episode of "Today" desperately needs a historian of policing, to explain why things like anti-racism training were introduced in the first place. This wasn't some departure from a world in which the police treated everyone the same. It was an attempt to bring that world fractionally closer.

Reform want to deport our neighbours, destroy families, shatter lives, ruin local economies, screw public services and make the UK an international pariah. News broadcasters do not think this is worth covering. It is not impartiality, it is meek compliance with the far-right and it is wrong.
