Deeply dishonest article
It omits that 'For the conduct to be treated as a criminal offense, it must be deemed abusive and result in serious physical or mental harm, or serious alarm or distress that disrupts their day-to-day activities.'
There can’t be many games where one team scores two goals in the opening 6-7 minutes of each half. Remarkable!
#MUFC 2-0 down inside 4mins of first-half. 4-2 down inside 8mins of second-half.
Yoro doesn’t need to head McGinn’s free-kick, then calamity unfolds. Fernandes looked like he told Lammens to communicate.
We are so much better when we don’t try and dominate possession #lufc

Every Telegraph headline about the conversion practices ban is basically:
“Campaign group ‘Christians who hate gay people’ warn that the conversion practices ban will stop them from doing conversion therapy”
😂 Johnson looking like he’s only just got up after a big night on the town and Truss grinning like she’s started day drinking early. What the fuck was the country thinking with these idiots?!?!?!?!

“Russia is starting to attack Britain” what do you mean STARTING?
Brexit was Russia. The rise of Reform is Russia. Widespread far right bot activity is Russia. Male street violence is Russia. European election interference is Russia. Widespread division and chaos is Russia.

Barnier has actually made the point that Britain would NOT have to join the euro or Schengen if it rejoins the EU, but the BBC failed to mention that - focusing instead on his unsurprising point that the single market cannot be cherry picked.

One of the things I loved about Bard’s showing in the second half was vertical passes like the one in this move. Gudmundsson is all about driving with the ball with that very deceptive pace he has but Bard seems to have a bit more nous and finesse #lufc
Our performances this season have been rather lacking in finesse and Bard seemed a lot more comfortable in the 3-5-2 change up than Gudmundsson did, perhaps because he’s had plenty of game time as a winger in his career #lufc

Actually, no legislation should put religious institutions above the welfare of citizens
The Church of England’s warning should be taken seriously.
No legislation should place prayer, pastoral care or the ordinary expression of religious belief under the threat of criminal sanction. The state has no business policing the sincere practice of faith or dictating the boundaries of religious life.
Criminalising prayer, restricting pastoral support and creating a climate in which religious teaching becomes legally precarious is a dangerous infringement on religious freedoms.
This legislation must be challenged at every stage. We cannot allow an ideological agenda to acquire the force of criminal law at the expense of religious freedom, family life and the fundamental right to practise one's faith.
It must be resisted, scrutinised and stopped.

I can't recall who on here described Britain as being "governed by the three middles (age, class, brow)", but they were absolutely right; we are just dictated to by Britain's worst Nicola Murray tribute acts
Ao Tanaka btw. He wasn’t good last season and seemed very lost as a PL midfielder. Half a second behind the play all the time. Something has finally clicked for him this season and we’re starting to see the player I voted as player of the season when we were promoted 👍🏻 #lufc
James Trafford seemed a lot more switched on this afternoon. His passing was a lot sharper and his sweeping was far more controlled. The stoned expression was gone 👍🏻 #lufc
Earlier this week, James Trafford opened up in an interview about the struggles he had not playing regularly after his move to Manchester City last season 😓🙏🏽
Another clean sheet today, the best save percentage of any Premier League goalkeeper, and the third least goals conceded in the league this season. He took the jump, came to Leeds… and it couldn’t have gone any better so far🤞🏽
We love seeing rising ballers speaking up about the realities of the harsh world of football. Shoutout to you for speaking up and performing so well this season, James. ❤️
We’re going to struggle to keep him for more than one season and fuck knows how you replace him! #lufc
Melvin Bard really pushed his case to get a lot more game time. Did more in one half of football than Gudmundsson has done for several weeks! You can tell he has had plenty of game time as a winger at previous clubs #lufc

I genuinely don’t know how much more absurd the anti-trans lobby can get in its attempts to justify the abuse of young LGBTQ+ people. But claiming that a comprehensive ban on conversion practices is somehow “anti-gay” is quite possibly a new low.
Boy we needed that! That second half performance was so much better and we fully deserve the win. Took the Bogle luck and made it count 🙂 #lufc
