I’m old enough to remember all those business and financial experts amongst our fanbase telling us rich people were lining up to buy us if only DC was prepared to sell. Turns out we weren’t the money spinning sleeping giant we hoped we were. #swfc

Rich morally corrupt man knew lots of other rich morally corrupt men and took photos. Journalists and politicians are shocked by this revelation.

I’m hoping against hope these rumours aren’t true. Beginning to think I might have preferred it if we went bust. Then I could at least go watch HallamFC guilt free. Can’t stomach the thought of L1 then L2 football and a 10 year climb back at my age #swfc

No 10 cancelling the Lobby is a good move. Giving Lobby journalists an early Christmas is a kind gesture. We won’t fall apart in their absence or if there are few less tweets and a few blank pages in the newspapers.

Possibly the most ill prepared Ashes tourist squad ever. Even hearing they decided against sending the nutritionist and sports psychologist teams. Who was it that said elite sport relied on fine margins and attention to every detail ?

Went to see Richard Hawley last night at the City Hall and as usual he was brilliant. As my Christmas quiz question I would love to know how many guitars he and his mates possess !

The British public dislike the BBC apparently so it will be interesting to see if they dislike them more than they dislike Trump.

Can a Westminster politician explain why in Scotland prescriptions,social care,nursing care and education are free but not in England. What choices are Members of the Scottish Parliament making that Westminster MP’s aren’t ? Genuine question

Got my £10 Christmas bonus from the Government today. That should help me get through the next few weeks. As my late mum would have said “ Don’t spend it all at once“ !!

What is a Fair Pay Agreement ? I’m pretty sure all the private equity offshore companies that own our care homes will say that already pay fairly. Profit before wages and care and an FPA won’t change that mindset
Asking how a Fair Pay Agreement could improve working conditioners for people in the adult social care sector is important for several reasons.

@nyecominetti.bsky.social has laid them out ⤵️

If Chalobah is deemed fit enough to play for 35 minutes why not start him instead of bringing on at 62 minutes when we are already 2 nil down and the game is lost ? #swfc

Why does Streeting like Tory predecessors continue to blame the BMA ? It is the Resident Doctors who have voted to strike. Always easier for politicians to blame an organisation rather than the workers who make up that organisation.
