Inter deserve to lose this.

John Foot @footymac.bsky.social · 12h

Haven’t seen Inter much this year are they always this bad?

San Siro, not "the" San Siro. We don't say "the Wembley" or "the Twickenham". I should get out more etc etc #pedantrycorner

Labour Together literally hid their donations.

Maybe because they referred themselves…? Unlike Farage, who hid it and will now deny all knowledge of it… 🤷🏻‍♂️🙄

I didn’t mention the embarrassing freebies. My point was about undeclared political donations. Read The Fraud. It’s all in there.

I dislike Reform, their racist rhetoric, & their dodgy men who ape Trump. You expect the worst because I feel they are the dregs.

But honestly. Starmer & his wife wearing clothes bought for them by a donor. The man must be a multi millionaire. And Rayner. Come on. Do better FFS

Why are the racist ramblings of Trump news and why can’t our PM stand up for the Mayor of London?

Home Office Ministers state publicly, on the record, that they are deliberately making life worse for older people and people with disabilities who depend on care services, but it's worth it because it reduces net migration.

The Home Office also recognise that this may have an impact on user of
care services who are likely to be older people and those with disabilities.
The Home Office believes that despite these points the changes are
justified for a number of policy reasons including reducing net migration
and ending reliance on overseas recruitment.

This isn't true. Read The Fraud. They hid it for years.

Moreover, Labour Together 'got away with it' because nobody resigned over the breach ... and in fact they are all running the country now.

John Foot @footymac.bsky.social · 20h

well Labour Together did get away with it for years (including lying openly to their own members) - have a look at the book The Fraud if you want the whole story. A £14,000 fine is hardly adequate punishment for systematically not declaring donations.

By all means investigate Farage for alleged fraud in Clacton, but why was Labour Together allowed to get away with not declaring donations for years?

jesus there are some insufferably smug people on here giving it the "but reform will be worse than labour for immigration", as if what we have before us right now *from labour* isn't already so nuclear as to make it functionally impossible to move here, or indeed remain here

The Fraud (the book) is too long, too detailed and it labours (no pun intended) many of its points. But it is very good on the relentless rise of the small clique around the Labour Together project and their extremely lucky rise to power - and their completely hapless attempts at 'governing'.
