There might be a case to say the Premier League just make things up as they go along...

Everton £19.5m breach - 10 points

Leicester City £20.8m breach - 6 points

Nottingham Forest £34.5m breach - 4 points

it’s going to get even worse when they come third (maximum) in gorton and denton.
I have never seen anger like this on the Labour benches in private and in public. This is the kind of territory where things can move very fast.

Pleased to see the jury make this decision.

We need to have eyes wide open this is exactly why the Government wants to abolish juries.

People protesting against a genocide are not the criminals here - it's the politicians who continue to provide cover.

it’s actually like the least surprising thing ever. ‘we didn’t know that the man nicknamed the prince of darkness was a bad guy.’
Wes Streeting saying on Today that Mandelson is ‘not the man we thought he was’ but the trouble is, he is exactly the man we thought, just on a much worse scale than almost anyone thought. And there is an alternative world where none of this is this govt’s problem, because they never gave him a job

Is Mandelson's real sin that he gave confidential information to Epstein? Or that he got caught doing what so many do? Why do Ministers sell access to business people for huge 'donations'?

Karin Smyth blusters, obfuscates, deflects and distracts when asked why Peter Mandelson isn't having his peerage stripped.

Its really difficult to do, apparently.

I'm old enough to remember when Keir Starmer promised to abolish the entire House of Lords. How's that going?

The time Mick Lynch called the Lab candidate in Islington North "a private health profiteer" & Mandelson told him thats a nasty & disgraceful thing to say & a complete untruth

The host then interjects "he's an entrepreneur who's made money in private healthcare"

Mick: "Exactly"

the epstein scandal is also proof that you physically cannot have that much money and be a good person. a system which concentrates so much wealth and power in the hands of the few is built on predation & abuse. capitalism relies on our base instinct to hurt one another for our own advantage.

let me get this straight: we have absolute proof that every powerful politician and businessman of the last 30 years has been prolifically abusing children, and not a word from the “protect our children” brigade? the threat was never immigrants, or muslims, or trans people. it was our ruling class.

What's the outcome that terrifies Labour most in the Gorton by-election?

Reform winning?

Nope. It's the Greens they're most worried about.

They'd prefer Reform to win, rather than the Greens.

Labour say a Green win would be "existential."

Sounds like an invitation....

it’s actually pretty much always illegal to found a country if you think about it for two seconds
Attorney General Pam Bondi: "Our country was founded on law enforcement"
Bondi: "It's extremely organized. The signs they have are all matching, they're well written. And look at what's happening today. How did these people go out & get gas masks? These protesters. Would you know how to walk out on the street and buy a gas mask? Think about that. We're not gonna have it"
