Political donations must be criminalized. No second jobs for MPs.

If you are watching the Reform Party controlled Councils with their endless mishaps, resignations, fallouts, scandals, mismanagement and sheer comedic idiocy, but still thinking of making these clowns a national government, representing the UK on the global stage, you are literally insane.

Wow, look I don't think it changes the result but the yellow card could impact us with KDH being suspended for a game he could help us win 3 pts. Also concerning it's not a listed rule, added to the fact it's clear he played 60% less added time, it's really poor performance wise by England.

In the late 19th century, millions of migrants left Germany as a result of religious persecution, economic hardship, and political uncertainty.
Among them was Nikolaus Schrod, a cabinet maker from Frankfurt who - along with his wife Bina - moved to London to start a new life in the 1850s. 1/3

Illinois State Senator Karina Villa sprang into action to protect her community from ICE raids, alerting neighbors to their rights and chasing off masked agents. This is how you stand up to authoritarianism. We should all be inspired by Sen. Villa's courage.

‘Biggest injustice in the history of football’?😭 At least Palace are still allowed in Europe. Imagine being the best team in the land & being banned from Europe thru no fault of your own, causing the team to miss its peak, break up & lead to a decline the club has never recovered from, 40yrs later?
