Everton have signed Freiburg midfielder Merlin Rohl on a season-long loan. He joins with a conditional obligation to make it a permanent move for €20million next summer. “The Everton fans are passionate and demand hard work and that’s what I like as it matches what I can bring,” Rohl said.

Yeah the proposed PIP cuts were a big red line for me, all while ruling out considering any form of wealth taxes. I struggle to see past that and the constant capitulation to Reform's right-wing narrative is infuriating!!!

Starmer may as well roll out the red carpet for Farage, outside Downing Street at this point!!!

I will also add that the @greenparty.org.uk have the same no. of MP's as Reform yet nowhere near the same level of coverage. Reform are where they are in the polls, largely thanks to the mainstream media's relentless amplification of them! petition.parliament.uk/petitions/713798

As soon as that toxic tw@t bought Twitter (refuse to call it by its current name) I left that platform.

After Musk's and his platforms role in the racist riots last summer, Starmer and his govt should have grown a pair and banned Twitter (refuse to call it by its current name) in this country! Refusing to regulate the Mainstream Media is bad enough! Not doing himself, or the country any favours!

Reform UK, which has a grand total of four MPs, was just given an uninterrupted platform for an hour and a half on the BBC and Sky News channels, in order to talk about its plans for mass deportations When was the last time the Greens (with four MPs) or the Lib Dems (with 72) were given the same?

It's not asylum seekers who jack up rents, undermine the NHS, hold down wages and keep people insecure. It's capital. The role of the far right is to shift the blame for decades of economic attacks by the rich and powerful onto powerless people who have only just arrived here.

Research shows England will sell off more than 8 times as many council homes in 2025-26 as were constructed the previous year. Labour need to stop lining the pockets of their private developer mates, invest properly in quality council homes and scrap right to buy (properly!).
