#lufc btw, has Bankes apologised for letting the play continue whilst Gruev’s covered in blood from a head knock.

Great performance tonight. Last ten plus added we again sat far too deep and questionable subs but take nothing away from that being a massive result

Local Facebook community page swamped with these ‘new’ users that all need help. Can guarantee once the likes and replies have been farmed the Reform propaganda machine will start around March through the local elections. This is what we are up against!

#lufc that’s wank!

Combined budget 2026 of £255bln for the two departments and I doubt there is a ‘major row’ over one department cutting its £60mln contribution. A ‘source’ told me they hadn’t even noticed it and must have been a rounding error and Darren’s just bringing the hobnobs as he always does on a Wednesday

You won’t hear it but maybe our Chancellor is pretty good.

@itvnews.bsky.social where’s the boys club tonight to discuss Rachel from Accounts GDP growth. We 👀 you ITV!

He’s said what we know and the media never report. The Tories 14 years was an absolute shambles

@theguardian.com Tell you what the government have managed to make a u-turn… Gilts! That’s them things you were reporting on hourly when they were going up.

Anybody know where I hand my ID card in now there’s been a u-turn. Oh, that’s right, it’s not yet a policy, hasn’t been enacted in law and is currently subject to public consultation. Anyone checked if Keir changed his mind today and had a chicken mayo instead of cheese and pickle.

@andrewsparrowgdn.bsky.social Andrew, is digital ID a policy? In that it’s gone through public consultation, parliament, enacted in law and we all now have ID cards? Or is it an idea announced alongside the statement that the government would undertake public consultation before presenting policy?

#lufc note Haaland doesn’t get a yellow card for his handball but Amps, who didn’t even handball it was straight in the book resulting in ban for the Utd game.

@itvnews.bsky.social Digital ID’s are a f*cking consultation NOT a policy. Give up with using u-turn at every fecking opportunity

@theguardian.com Imagine the desperation of a media outlet trying to find a story/quote/angle to criticise the government and coming up with a once/twice/thrice sacked individual who basically wrote love letters to histories greatest paedo! F*cking clueless who your audience is Guardian

#lufc I see that goal kick time limit rule seems not to apply again at Elland Road as Henderson does his best Pickford impression 🤷‍♂️

#lufc need a goal or just upping of the tempo. They’ve come to kill the game and quieten the crowd and doing it well

@andrewsparrowgdn.bsky.social Excellent Andrew 👏 thank you

@andrewsparrowgdn.bsky.social Andrew, is there a link to an explainer in what the Employment Rights Bill enacts into law? Pretty huge thing I’d think for a newspaper to cover.

Kemi outraged at the waste of £30mln yet zero contrition for the billions lost/stolen/wasted during COVID. Real journalists/broadcasters would challenge her on the Tory record but it’s Britain we live in where tax dodging media owners set the news 🤷‍♂️

@itvnews.bsky.social looking forward to seeing Robert, Joel and Tom sitting down to share the great news of the 10 year gilts at their lowest for a year. Joel can give his ‘explainer’ on how positive this is for borrowing alongside the drop in inflation and interest rate cut tomorrow.

Always the little peoples fault. Maybe Directors could stop giving themselves massive paydays every year and reduce dividends by 1% as an offset to their staff being paid a proper wage.

Quite clear Labour worked with all parties when drafting the employment rights bill only for unelected Lords members to block. When businesses and unions say it’s acceptable then I’d say it’s passed the critical smell tests.

#lufc 60/65 mins and I’d throw Joel on.

#lufc outstanding effort from every player tonight 👏👏👏 Capped off with Joel winning a header 😂 Been too long a wait but I predict a riot

#lufc Piroe time

@itvnews.bsky.social Looking forward to Robert’s apology tonight. Joel gone missing, Tom gone missing, expect Robert to go missing tonight. The Budget Bermuda Triangle where journalists that lied to the public hid in a fridge thinking we’ll forget. We haven’t, we won’t!

@itvnews.bsky.social who misled who ITV. Disgusting representation of misreporting by your politely journalists. Receipts below of which you spent around 15 mins of your evening news slot…

@itvnews.bsky.social You were one of the many falsely claiming there was a black hole in the public finances with direct reference to the NIESR forecast as though it was the gospel of all reporting bodies. Please stop lying that this is a govn issue. You lied, you were found out!

@andrewsparrowgdn.bsky.social Can you define a ‘normal’ person please?

Another twat that’s been sat there spouting £40/£50bln black holes since Spring statement. Any apology from ITV? Any reflections that they shouldn’t have been misleading the public for six months? None, nada..

Doubt we will see any apologies from the Guardian or the various media broadcasters that have been bullshitting £40/£50bln black holes in the finances since the spring statement. Maybe Nick from Topless Darts can STFU with his Rachel from Accounts references.

@samcoatessky.bsky.social dear me.. who’s left to ask whether OBR has been gentle on the government. I mean maybe the OBR being Independent and maybe them reviewing twice (only budget going forward) is the clue that they’ve given an assessment and not a belly rub as you lot do with Farage/Reform

@sophyridge.bsky.social thank you for stating the pension threshold change reasons as you believe and as I understood from the Chancellors statement.

@samcoatessky.bsky.social James Murray was clear deficit will be down at the end of parliament (67.9 is less than 74.0), the caveat for that was helping the public NOW with cost of living and not in 2029/30. Please don’t twist what was stated

Got to love all these journalists and presenters spouting about the budget and income tax whilst employed through their own companies to avoid… income tax!

#lufc we could resign Rafa and he’d still wait till the 70th minute for Brendan to come off. Clueless selections!

#lufc always been big supporter of Farke but time to part ways. No doubt Piroe and Willy will be thrown on now in desperation

#lufc AO, I had to take you off coz Brendan’s got some dodgy pics of me. Can’t be any other conversation going on

That’s about five of the last six goals the same down the LB channel. We have three centre mids that do fuck all defensive work in them situations. Five in the box whilst three Villa players knock it about down the right.

This is just nonsense now.

@pippacrerar.bsky.social Story still stands Pippa or you’ll correct the record?

Nmechahahaha

#lufc Today I’d just like us to turn up the first fifteen minutes and put Forest on the back foot. A game we can win if we are aggressive and play with an intent to get the result

Reason 1. He was told to keep it at 4% at last nights lodge meeting 2. Farage & Reform told him not to cut the rate because why would they want to help people out 3. His bank exec pals asked for another month of extortion so they could get bigger bonuses. GTF Bailey

@lucypower.bsky.social Next time you speak with Tom can you ask him not to say “everybody hates her” when referencing the Chancellor of the Exchequer on ITV late night spot in his little boys club of three (Peston & Hills)! I certainly don’t..

Marks & Spencer’s - Never their fault is it for big businesses. Profits down because of NI’s & packaging recycling levy’s. Let’s ignore we cut costs so deep that we ended up losing £300mln due to hackers & a lack of cybersecurity. Never mind, the insurance, price increases & cuts will cover it

@nickferrarilbc.bsky.social gift for you and Kemi

#lufc I’m feeling a little more confident of getting something out of the Palace game. Palace will play Manchester City, Arsenal, KuPS Kuopio and Leeds in a novel Sunday-Tuesday-Thursday-Sunday Premier League, Fizzy Cup and Tin Pot triathlon (Guardian) - four games in eight days with us last up

@lbc.co.uk reducing my listening to @mrjamesob.bsky.social daily as the only presenter professional and decent enough to hold conversations and debates with balance and respect.

@pippacrerar.bsky.social correct of I’m wrong but where in the manifesto did it state they would not not raise EMPLOYER national insurance tax? It didn’t, in the manifesto and the election campaign they promised not to increase EMPLOYEE (workers) taxes (income, NI or VAT) and they haven’t.
