Game was bad enough but absolutely sick of #hcafc fans being idiots, spending half the game abusing female fans in the home end rather than getting behind the team.
Seriously considering giving up on going to games altogether. Sick of it.

The people saying this are broadly just addicted the drama of recent years and only understand politics through the prism of the Tory party. The Labour Party mechanism doesn’t work in the same way and even if it did there’s no equivalent discontent or political split in the current Labour party.
Have read a few pieces saying Starmer may not survive as PM & don't think people are appreciating the consequences. I can't stress enough I just don't think the public will tolerate 'one more switch of PM' instead will conclude the system is not just broken but unfixable

Four now confirmed dead in this strike, two of them World Central Kitchen aid workers
World Central Kitchen volunteers have been hit again, by an #Israel’i airstrike in #Gaza today. One of the only orgs successfully getting food to thousands of starving Palestinians is now pausing ops while they investigate what happened & figure out how to protect their staff under these conditions.

In 1979 around 15% of MPs had a manual worker background. That dropped to 3% by 2015. At the same time previous work in politics went from 3% to 17% over the same period. We know this has consequences for political rhetoric. 1/
