Dai Yongge killed Reading Women’s team. An injustice I hope, the doubt, will be addressed by the new owners.
I really hope we see a packed Goodison at WSL games next season.

The outcome of today’s court case gives us confidence that there are no legal blockages to a sale, as far as we know.
As a matter of urgency, I will be speaking to the EFL, fan groups and key stakeholders to move the situation forward. (2/3)

The journalists' job (very seldom discharged) is to hold power to account, *regardless of the nature of that power*. But when I criticise the failings of this government, I get widely told to leave it alone for fear of letting in the Tories/Reform. Sorry. Accountability is the essence of democracy.

Great, they listen to Millionaires. How about listening to this, a simple way to grow the economy without building runways which help destroy the planet is closer ties with our major trading partners in Europe. Oh wait, Reform voters won’t like that.

We may as well just have voted the Tories back in. No wealth tax, water down restrictions for non-doms, targeting welfare rather than tax avoidance. Same old story…

On the far side of the pond hundreds of violent insurrectionists have been pardoned & released from jail. Meanwhile, on this side of the pond peaceful, albeit possibly disruptive, protestors remain in prison thanks to draconian Tory anti-protest laws which Keir Starmer & his Govt seem happy to keep!

Fun fact - the "roman salute" is a myth.
There is no mention anywhere in Roman literature or iconography of such actions.
We think otherwise because of films and 19th-century art ... oh yes and the Italian fascists and Nazis who pretended it was a thing.
One might even call it "Fake history".

I am a scientist and I read the papers and familiar with the data. Palestinians are Arabs, their DNA is Arab, they indetify as Arab their culture and ethnicity is Arab. To the effect that they have trace Canaanite DNA does not make them indigenous they have nothing left from the Canaanites.
