My Dad passed away this morning.
He had two passions in his life. His family and

Football Club.
He faced his illness with amazing courage and little if any complaint.

I’ve been a member of the Labour Party since I was 16. We must get back to a place where when one of our women MPs is threatened with rape, rather than running polls asking if she should be expelled from the party or questioning her socialism, we all support her unequivocally!

Bellew is the product of Kenwright’s lazy and complacent Cosy Club Culture. No ambition or thought of winning trophies. It’s all “Everton are a special club”. Always for reasons you could apply to most clubs. I’d rather us be special because we’re successful.

Another faceless twitter coward chatting shit👇🏻Fact: She won the seat in a OMOV election against a local councillor and at the time it wasn’t a safe seat.
Luciana Berger was parachuted into a Liverpool safe seat against the will of the local party. She has consistently back bited against LABs attempts to form a government. She needs to be deselected and an MP that represents the people of Liverpool & the LAB movement elected.

It’s not Salah’s fault that the FA wont uphold its own rules. Their justification for banning Niasse ban made a rod for their own backs “The arching of the back and collapsing of the legs was not consistent with the contact made by the defender’. That’s what Salah did.

This is a great take. Ancelotti can’t be expected to make a side made up of average players great in any amount of time, let alone three months. It’s gonna take a lot of new players for

. For reference here’s Klopp’s first LFC starting XI. Where have they all gone?
I mean, Ancelotti is a good man and a great manager, no question. But he’s not some kind of medieval alchemist, able to turn lead into gold. He needs two transfer windows, possibly three, while Brands must find a way to get at least 6 overpaid wastrels off the books ...

Today we changed the law to allow businesses impacted by strike action to hire skilled, temporary workers to mitigate disruption.
This was a criminal offence. Now it’s an option for business.
