What is most astonishing about the OBR leak is that the OBR uses WordPress for its website because the Treasury won't give it enough money for a dedicated site. #r4today

If anyone needs to know how far right Labour MPs have moved recently, here is a "left-wing" Labour MP who is rich enough to own land in Bangladesh (the land is the subject of the corruption case).
If she's so rich she can do that, she is far from "in-touch" with the poverty of the UK. #r4today

I am heartily bored by the constant examining of "did the Rachel Reeves lie" about the state of the economy.
She did, by omission, and none of the various people trotted out to defend her, including Reeves herself, have offered anything to contradict that.
The sooner she's gone, the better. #r4today

It really is astonishing that the publisher of one of the world's best known DICTIONARIES, doesn't know that "rage bait" is TWO WORDS or a very short PHRASE.

IT cannot, by DEFINITION, be the "word of the year".

Nor can "aura farming".

So 4 points off European places, and the Mackems. Beat Spurs and Burnley, with the Mackems away yo the other team and Man City and we shd be ahead of them for the derby. #nufc

Having read five newspapers' descriptions of Big Nick's goal yesterday, I've decided they failed to describe it well enough.

So here's my attempt. I'm a long time retired, so forgive me.

When Elanga toe-poked the ball to the unmarked Woltemade, many players would have tried too hard.

Interesting. Many say #Thiaw was MoM yesterday, a fair opinion.
I say Miley because his tackles, his retaining possession, his passing, his defending was exemplary.
But it wasn't the glamour side of the performance.
Miley became a rival for our usual midfielders yesterday. #NUFC

She's chancellor, and she doesn't know that "off of" is terrible English. She repeatedly says "off of". #DumbF*ck

I think the other team bought a dud. Look at his goals each season without Howe and Murphy. #nufc

Who's you MoM?
November 29, 2025 at 7:11 PM
And here it comes, the collapse. The comeback. 4 more Everton goals and #nufc s away form goes on.
November 29, 2025 at 6:59 PM
Howe keeping Tonali and Gordon fresh for Spurs in thd Cup? #nufc

And, Elanga persistence. #nufc

What a goal #nufc #Woltemade
November 29, 2025 at 6:15 PM
Barnes has been superb. #nufc he's everywhere.
November 29, 2025 at 6:12 PM
Have to ask. Is our defence looking more confident, solid, with Ramsdale behind it.? #nufc
November 29, 2025 at 6:11 PM
Watch Elanga. When he drifts inside when Everton have thd ball, he seldom looks to see who's outside him. #nufc
November 29, 2025 at 6:09 PM
Lol. Pickford palms it through his own legs to let Miley score. #nufc
November 29, 2025 at 5:56 PM
Yessssss. #nufc
