It would of course be trivially easy for the press and his political opponents to make this sort of action unthinkable for a mainstream politician, by the simple act of noticing all the violent Neo-Nazis attending these rallies and making Jenrick accountable for that. Alas...
Robert Jenrick, the Tory Shadow Justice Secretary and former Home Office Minister, joining protesters outside an asylum hotel is one of the most disgusting acts by a frontline British politician in living memory.

This commentator on @officialecfc.bsky.social Sky coverage talking nonsense - keeps calling SJP 'St James's Park' - that's Newcastle, SJP is St James' Park' and said Wareham is first permanent no 9 since Stansfield.

Ben Seymour said it will be ‘a dream come true’ to walk out at St James Park with the number nine shirt on.

From the same commentator (Champion) who said we won the ECWC in 1987. It was 85. We won the league again in 87.
He's just embarrasingly bad at his job and always has been.

“2-2, as it was at Goodison in February when Everton came from behind that day”
Erm, nope. We were winning 2-0, it was Utd who came from behind to draw 2-2. The commentators are dreadful.🤦🏻♂️

Been reading a lot posts this morning on the signings issue, and whilst I think we did very well to get Barry, particularly so soon after losing out on Delap, I think what's sinking in is having an amazing new stadium isn't the draw for players some fans thought it was and it will take time. /1

Law is fake, power is real.
Since April 4, #SCOTUS has issued 15 rulings on 17 emergency applications filed by Trump (three birthright citizenship apps were consolidated).
It has granted relief to Trump ... in all 15 rulings.
It has written majority opinions in only 3.
Today's order is the 7th with no explanation *at all.*

Bill Ackman’s post about Tucker Carlson and Jeffrey Epstein has an interesting explanation for why he believes he became a billionaire:

Got my STH for Everton Women yesterday so back at Goodison in the LG for next year, along with Bramley-Moore in the South Stand. Shout out to the PK3 folks who'll be scattered all round BMD next year.
