Why are those who are so obviously benefitting from the status quo so angry about it?
There has never been a better time to be a rich white guy. These maniacs are sitting on 20, shouting ‘twist.’

We are all heartbroken tonight at the loss of Denis, the last of that legendary trinity alongside Sir Bobby Charlton and George Best.

Our thoughts are with the Law family. Farewell and rest in peace Denis Law, the King of The Stretford End.

For United fans, Denis Law was nothing less than the King. A wonderful player and a wonderful man, and a scorer of goal after goal after goal in the 1960s.

A Ballon d'Or winner, iconic goal scorer, and treasured part of our club's history, Denis embodied everything we hold dear.

Imagine how many Reform supporters they'll be able to field if this funding is not going to be blocked.

It’s bad enough former Prime Minister Boris Johnson has been allowed to spout his absolute boll**** about “Brexit saving lives” unchallenged on UK news shows - now he’s traveling the world repeating it!

Let’s stop him rewriting history - share these actual FACTS

This has to be the most consequential letter ever written in the history of sport 🤔

Sorry to hear about Kath on reception passing away. Lovely, modest, loyal, lady. 55 years at MUFC.
I tweeted a pic of her in May ‘22 and showed her the huge reaction. She was well chuffed and showed her family. Then said: “thank you all so much. I’m only doing my job.” RIP.

🚨Everyone should watch this important film from Liberty

The Governments action this week is “a concerning disregard for the rule of law & goes against recent statements by the Gov’t that they would NOT abuse the use of secondary legislation”

Liberty will be back in court later this week

My book came out at a terrible time, really. Was relying on my own Twitter to plug it, but then they removed my verification and reach plummeted as a result. So buy my book for a Christmas present or something. It’s a bit cheaper now anyway.
