So it turns out the massive scandal here is that Bridget Phillipson's mum bought a council house for £9k in 1990 and then sold it *33 years* later for £99k. That's the entire story

A thousand times this. The BBC would also benefit from not giving a shit what the Daily Mail has to say about anything.

Nigel Farage has filed his second complaint against HOPE not hate in a month. 🧵

It was inevitable, wasn't it🙄 Of course the Telegraph would run with something like this👇 So let's remove some of the rose-tinted spectacles and also look at some of that data comparing 1976 with modern heat waves Because the 1976 nostalgia porn is wearing a bit thin at this stage 🧵1/23

It's the 10th anniversary of the dumbest moment in modern British history so let's celebrate some of the idiots who made it happen. First up ... Jacob Rees-Mogg and his promise of cheap food and wine... In fact food prices have increased some 12% as a direct result of Brexit (LSE) 1/5

True but it’s also a country where Jeremy Clarkson gets paid a fortune to describe Gordon Brown as a ‘one-eyed Scottish idiot’ or fantasise about a crowd of thugs hurling excrement at a naked Duchess of Sussex. And where Dick Littlejohn gets called out for cruelty by a coroner at a suicide inquest.

🧵 Two beautiful moments from Michelle Obama's speech to her husband at the opening of the Obama Center. So moving! Be sure to watch them them both! 💙💜💛🩷❤️ Video 1:

One thing we mean when we talk about "stronger social norms" is racist chants, slurs not seen as normal by most normal people. Football did more than anything else to put the idea of "zero tolerance" into practice. Elon Musk's X is doing more/trying harder than anyone else to renormalise racism

This is amazing, and exactly what a World Cup is all about. And of course, and Arsenal short makes an appearance at 1.07 😊

In order to get England's immigrant population down to Belfast's level you would need to deport millions. Something that rarely happens outside of fullscale war. The whole article is insane.

The BBC 10 o’clock news says the right wing idea of ethnic minorities being given preferential treatment in criminal justice is likely to become a “growing fault line in our politics” WITHOUT POINTING OUT THAT IT IS SIMPLY NOT TRUE. What’s the point of the news if it doesn’t correct disinformation?

Global #arsenal with Gooners from Toronto in Vienna. With @richyersh.bsky.social and @smyersh.bsky.social .

I deeply resent the implication that I would fiddle my finances. Just because I had to repay €173,000 after being caught funnelling EU funds into my general election campaign, then had my salary docked to recoup €40,000 in misspent EU funds, doesn't mean I'm dishonest.

Ben White: Hincapie get your bum out! #arsenal #coyg #parade #benwhite

Welcome to Bluesky @richyersh.bsky.social, there's a whole #Arsenal family here for you to enjoy. ❤️

Rooney “Arsenal were absolutely robbed tonight, there’s no other way to put it. Look at that foul on Madueke in the box; it’s a stonewall, 100% penalty.How the referee or VAR hasn't given that is beyond me, and it completely changes the dynamic of a Champions League final…..

As misleading headlines go, that has to be up there with some of the worst! As is the claim that "Immigration is fuelling mass unemployment among under-25s." The "shocking new study" does NOT show that at all 🙄 🧵 1/21

Total minutes played, Arsenal’s CL starting 11: 39,475 Total starts: 394 Total minutes for PSG: 29,560 Total starts: 335 60 fewer games and 10,000 fewer minutes. On and by the way PSG’s wage bill is over £100,000,000 greater. Curious lack of context being presented by journalists. Wonder why 🤔

A season to be proud of. We pushed the boundaries over land and sea, and couldn't have done it without your support. Thank you, Gooners ❤️

That's football. Shit happens. Gabriel? The best player tonight. This said, whoever is rejoicing in the success of a club built on the money of a dictatorship holding together through the systematic exploitation of 90% of its population should take some time to reflect on their world view. Bisous!

So proud to be an Arsenal fan. Our lads gave everything. Work to do. Onwards. Xx

A £300 tax on your UK summer holiday does sound like a lot... So let’s take a look at this tax, put it in a wider context, and find out where that £300 figure came from.👍🏻 1/26 🧵

Good morning to the Premier League Champions. #arsenal 🏆 💪 😎

The scenes in the changing room, after Arsenal lifted the Premier Legaue trophy. So proud of my club. 🏆🥹

It all worked out. ♥️

How did I miss this 😂 Zohran Mamdani with Henry scarf and reacting to Arsenal win. Sorry if it was already shared. 🔴⚪

Reform are again saying this. BBC were clear it is a drop in immigration today. Broadcasters should challenge/correct inaccurate versions of claims the fall is about emigration

Once again, there is no pleasure in accurately predicting the dishonesty of Farage & his crew or the dereliction of duty across much of the media.

🎵 ARSENAL, ARSENAL, ARSENAL Dec is proper Arsenal through and through now isn't he! Imagine finishing a massive title winning night out and choosing to pull up to the Emirates (no security) just to soak it all in. The connection is real! 😭❤️🤍

Fourteen hours after Arsenal officially secured the Premier League championship, not a single rival club has issued a formal congratulatory statement. Did they all lose their internet connection?

Another magical night in London. First, @rosieisaholt.bsky.social’s brilliant new play at the King’s Head. Then joining the crowd of Arsenal fans outside The Old Cock to watch the closing minutes of Bournemouth/City. Amazing scenes!

I can see that a lot of people on here are nostalgic for the days when Arsenal played beautiful football and their teams kicked the shit out of them.

You haven't finished but I'm getting in early . Epic thread 👇

Mikel Arteta when he spoke to us at Union Chapel last year. #champions

CHAMPIONS! GET IN! Congratulations to Mikel and the boys. Process trusted.

And they wonder why fans find alternative means of streaming matches. Outrageous decision. www.theguardian.com/football/202...

One more game to go. Think we're going to have to go there and win. One more 1 nil please! #arsenal

This is another brilliant one from @ledbydonkeys.org [IG] Nigel Farage's close connection with Nomad Capitalists who encourages a "different" type of economic migration. 💰

Why exactly would a Thailand-based economic migrant secretly give Nigel Farage £5 million as a 'reward' for delivering Brexit? I won't get to ask either of them this question but every single journalist & broadcaster granted access could...

BREAKING: Reform UK leader Nigel Farage bought a £1.4 million property in cash shortly after receiving a £5m personal gift from billionaire donor Christopher Harborne, according to property records seen by Sky News.

Slightly increase a band: Six

Morning. Tempted to say something rude about those areas that have dominated English politics for over ten years still being unhappy despite their agenda largely being followed. A vicious democratic cycle that we see also in other countries.

Wake up this morning still amazed, (but not surprised), how many people vote to dismantle the NHS and give tax cuts to billionaires. Then I remember how deep and well cultivated the hatred of foreigners is in England.

There doesn't seem to be much outrage about this, but these ticket prices are ridiculous. Shame on UEFA for copying FIFA. As if following your team to Budapest doesn't cost enough already.

FYI: Arsenal have had the ‘easier’ side of the draw because they topped a 36 team group by winning every single game…

An absolutely poisonous party run by absolutely poisonous people.

Chelsea and Man City in the FA Cup final. No other English clubs have systematically ignored, bent or broken the rules like both have done. In terms of trophies won, no other English clubs have been as successful over the past decade and a half either. The moral of the story - is that there is none.

@orbinho.bsky.social quick question if OK? Do you know a source for quickly looking up top scorers in all comps. Can only find by competition, rather than grouped together...
