If you’re not upto much this weekend or have a couple of hours spare I’d recommend watching John Candy: I like me documentary. Unbelievably moving.

Love the guy.

For fucks sake just nationalise them.

A legalised racket.

They don’t even hide how much they take the piss out of us.

The regulator Ofwat has ruled that 5 private water companies can raise bills by even more than previously agreed

A reminder that despite promising to nationalise the water industry Starmer dumped that pledge &decided to side with the private companies instead. This is the result

I’m pleased with this - He’s been great business for a free transfer. He’s 32 so makes sense to have someone like him around over the next 2-3 years and there are other areas to strengthen first

But….

I just hope his performances this season aren’t a sign of a downward trajectory.

Just a reminder: Antifa isn’t a group — it literally means “anti-fascist.”

Wild that the people running the most powerful country on earth are such a bunch of clowns.

HIRONO: Did you approve closing the Homan bribery investigation?

BONDI: The DOJ & FBI conducted a thorough review and found no credible evidence of wrongdoing. You were also on video outside the WH protesting w/a group called Casa where antifa members were. Does that mean you're a membr of antifa?

No surprise to see this grubby prick to come out with this.

Hoping there are a few nations who are strong enough to pull out and turn the World Cup into an absolute shambles.

It’s what he deserves.

Seen Moyes interview and he’s been fantastic since he came in but in terms of this week and moving forward - I demand that Everton compete and look to win all competitions.

If you are going to sign and play for or manage Everton, that’s what I expect.

Finishing 10th isn’t good enough.

It's burst the bubble a bit that to be honest because when I hear Everton staff, the manager and players talk about the club's desire to finally lift a trophy, I won't have the same level of belief I had three hours ago. You either take it seriously and mean it or don't say it.
