Glad to see Nigel Farage has finally remembered Nathan Gill, former leader of Reform in Wales - found guilty of taking bribes from Russia.

Maybe he'll now remember how much he took from Putin's propaganda broadcaster Russia Today for all his TV appearances when he was a MEP?

So if you’re thinking of going, I’d get your tickets today if you haven’t already, as there’s no guarantee that they’ll open any upper tier sections on the day.

uppergwladysblu.bsky.social @uppergwladysblu.bsky.social · 8h

Approximately less than 200 seats remain for tomorrow’s EFC Women’s HDS game based on the ticket map. They’re only using the lower tier of the bowl which equates to roughly 20k. There’s a handful of tickets in 003, & the rest of the remaining tickets are in sections 125-128 in the north west corner.

maybe if we had a bit of transparency from the VAR people i.e screen replays in stadiums so fans can see for themselves and maybe some audio to go with it, then maybe fans will trust the system. The PGMOL are setting them up for a fall on the premier league instructions.

Why does this tax exile 'foreigner' think our government should discuss policy with him? He should feck off back to Monaco. Made his choice based on his own interest, to avoid tax. Anything he has to say will be only in his own interests, again.

88 years to the day since Oswald Mosley got his fascist kite rearranged with a load of bricks when he foolishly tried to flog fascism to Liverpool. Remember, violence against Nazis is always entirely justified.

The BBC is CAPTURED at the highest level by ardent right-wing supporters, funders, and propagandists!

There is absolutely NO WAY that the BBC is not significantly biased and explains the broadcaster’s significant push towards right-wing rhetoric & promotion of hard-right politicians.

If you want to abolish a tax on poor people you cut VAT.

If you want to abolish a tax that is almost entirely on Multimillionaires you cut Stamp Duty.

Please, please, please, don't be too stupid to understand this.
