Starmer’s handling of the vetting story has somehow become a bigger problem for Starmer than the vetting story. Extraordinary.

It does feel very Westminster village suddenly and I think this is probably right.

Just what the country needs more chaos ...

Not sure Peter Mandelson can survive this as ambassador

3 game ban for pulling hair.

Yellow card for headbutting.

Richard Stupid Tice would like to clarify that the £100k in tax he hasn't paid is different to the £92k tax he hasn't paid or the £600k tax he hasn't paid. Just in case anyone didn't appreciate the extent of his tax dodging. I mean fiscal prudence.

They were listening , this was before he spoke

Seen the video wasn't at Slot

Eki got in there 😅😅

I think we truly don’t appreciate how much the internet has influenced and given rise to the idea that *everything* is debatable and the ultimate arbiter of truth is determined by who is willing to talk the longest.

For your general well being I can thoroughly recommend watching or listening to #LFC games without engaging with Social Media. It's a very different game 🤷🏻‍♂️

… Curtis Jones excellent today, and no surprise given what this fixture means to him. A smart call by Arne Slot. And so happy for Virgil Van Dijk. This fixture clearly means a lot to him, too, for, clearly, a very specific reason. Could see that in his celebration. Have a bevvy tonight, big man.

Liverpool’s collective fortitude has rightly been questioned this season but there was no doubting their character today. Stood up to Everton’s physical challenge and refused to feel sorry for themselves after the keeper change. This time a setback appeared to inspire them as oppose to ruin them.

We need a Mascherano type 👍👍

As much as I hate it , we need some of it in our side .

Tice ‘happy to put things right’ after ‘he failed to pay £100k in corporation tax’ Mr Tice said last year Angela Rayner would resign if she had “any moral decency” after admitting to underpaying stamp duty

Richard Tice deputy leader of Reform ran four shell companies which did not pay any tax on profits between 2020 and 2022.

He's now offering to "put things right".

Go on then Richard - resign.

If, as is probably truth of matter, Mandelson was to be appointed Ambassador, come what may, because Trump was a sui generis problem which needed addressing in a sui generis way - a Trump-whisperer - then PM should just say that.

The faultlines are developing from pretending that was not the case.

That Robbins would only say Mandelson had been vetted but not the result is, reminds us of the old joke of the driver who would check their real-view mirror before pulling out.

It didn’t matter if anything was actually coming, as long as they had checked the real-view mirror, they would pull out.

Liverpool join Man United in race to sign £80million-rated Premier League star Liverpool are the latest club showing interest in Crystal Palace midfielder Adam Wharton, talkSPORT understands. Wharton is expected to leave Palace at the end of the season with the south London c…

I wonder why people who profess to be horrified by the practice aren’t shouting their delight from the rooftops…

That’s not what I said , merely stating what Alex Crook reported … also no one said it was a combined sale either 🫪

Wharton is great , I think we may have seen the best of Mac!

#LFC linked with #AdamWharton £80m via Alex Crook - potential sales of Curtis Jones & Alex McAllister …

Yep , Gregor Townsend & John Barnes have said the same. ☹️

This is... incredible.
