Done a starter pack for United related accounts - lots of new people coming over so will try to keep updated. If you're not on it, it's probably because I'm an idiot and missed you, but happy to add people... go.bsky.app/H5RGgxg

Nigel Farage is going to "save pubs" by cutting 5p off the price of a pint of beer...
The £3 billion cost will be funded by reinstating the two-child benefit limit.
This might be the worst policy anyone has ever come up with.

Mocking someone's addiction relapse because they happen to be a Jewish person who treated Palestinians with a basic level of humanity is really really low. I honestly don't know how you can do that and still see yourself as a good person fighting the good fight.

People are criticising Arsenal as a team that relies too heavily on their physical approach from set pieces, but i think they deserve a lot of credit for the way they gather the ball in at line-outs, then really drive the maul forward to get over the line #SwingLowSweetChariot #Twickers

That Arsenal defence is easily the best in the league. Scoring three against them doesn't happen often and it doesn't happen by accident. Now, don't go and fuck it all up against Fulham next week...

Well. Bloody hell. Bloody bloody hell. Crikey. Flipping heck. Bloody hell. Wow. That's amazing. I think most fans (myself most definitely included) thought we might be lucky to get a point out of City and Arsenal. 6 points. Unbelievable. And neither win was lucky. Bloody hell. Wow.

So it sounds like Farage is feeling the pressure over his previous praising of Trump.
He's running scared and cancelled an appearance on the BBC this morning at short notice.
Farage and Reform are on the way out! Time for the country to reject him entirely, once and for all.

Cleminson Street, Salford. Salford pioneered play streets, traffic-free from 8am till sunset (borrowed from New York) in the 1930s. Legislation followed: there were 700 in England and Wales in the 1950s, all but forgotten by the 1980s.
