As I said at the time
Here is the Bank of England in its own report calling the bond market crisis in 2022 the "LDI crisis" and admitting two thirds of the bond rate spike was down to LDIs. They were responsible for financial stability and they failed.

State of this fellah. One title in 7 years Arteta goes away to Bayern reserves set up like Big Sam with long channel balls & nicks a draw & @EBL2017 thinks he's up there with Klopp.
Klopp and Arteta. The only one’s in the modern day that I’ve ever had near certainty with (Pep doesn’t count because he took over when City were already top). Everyone else has had major flaws, even if they won (Arne Slot, for example).

Imagine an Arsenal fan @themagic_tophat giving it the big ‘un about Arsenal being a big club outside England & putting them alongside Liverpool, & Man United Internationally? The most deluded fan base on earth 🤣🤣🤣

Statistics say otherwise. Graham Souness makes a living talking absolute nonsense. Bukayo Saka is one of the most fouled players in the Premier League, yet he takes an unbelievable amount of punishment and still tries to stay on his feet instead of going down at every opportunity. Maybe that’s the problem. He gets punished for being too honest. Put some respect on Saka’s name.

Is @EssexPR seriously saying that, despite the corruption, we shouldn’t be supporting a country being attacked by Putin? FFS!
I bet when Volodymyr Zelenskyy leaves office, he’s somehow worth hundreds of millions of pounds. The corruption with that war will be off the scale. It was known as one of the most corrupt western country before this conflict… even The Guardian said this.

What exactly do people see in Reform that makes them worthy of a vote? Frigates shooting dinghies ain’t going to happen? Farage’s relationship with Trump is now a curse! What economic policies that will transform this country am I missing? It’s an unserious party of protest.
Were I Nigel Farage I would feel uneasy at the number of my friends and family who are signalling to me that they are moving away from Reform and heading back to the Tories. Most cite the fact that there is too much scandal surrounding Reform.

This doesn’t seem very appropriate given the current charges 👀
EXCL: Manchester City were invited and took part in a government trade delegation to India this week, despite the Premier League charges. Bev Craig, Andy Burnham’s successor as mayor, took a club representative to Delhi and Mumbai on a trip organised by business secretary Jonathan Reynolds, where she and other mayors have been promoting British trade and tourism. She defended the decision to invite City even as the PM came under fire for his own contacts with the club, telling the Guardian it had played a vital role in helping build infrastructure in her city.

No one cares. They have rich owners who always bail them out. Meanwhile, the government is in £3 trillion of debt and has no one to save it.
BREAKING: Football regulators have reported that 94% of English clubs are loss-making. Sky's @RobHarris has the latest and explains the importance of the report's timing ⬇️

The problem with using xG as read is that you have to believe that (1) it's mathematically precise (it isn't) and (2) all players are as capable or incapable of finishing chances (they aren't). Harry Kane between 2022-23 & 2025-26 had an xG of 99 goals. He actually scored 128!

YouGov - Sky - Times voting intention LAB 24%(-3) CON 23%(+3) RefUK 21%(-1) LDEM 12%(+1) GRN 11%(nc) Oct 11-12 Pollster note: The changes are within the margin of error, so it's difficult to distinguish signal from noise, but I suspect there is some degree of "conference bounce" there, with the Tories getting a boost from their coverage, and Labour declining again as the temporary impact of their own conference fades. It may well be a temporary Tory boost, but for the record it means this is the first time that we have had Reform back in third place since 2024 (it’s technically the first time since early 2024 – but we didn’t poll between the election and January 2025 while we were reviewing methods, so we don’t know exactly when Reform overtook the Tories).

'European Writer of the Year - 2023' @draper_rob decides to come up with this irrelevant braindead nonsense...ie highlighting a report that has nothing whatsoever to do with Chelsea Football Club's finances but Roman Abramovich's personal tax issues. What an embarrassing tool!
More evidence Chelsea 💯 got away with it When Man City verdict comes, the disparity in punishments will seem very weird Lesson is ‘own up and we’ll be nice’ (pusillanimous?) But if you distrust Man City’s trophies, you have to say the same about Chelsea’s from 2010

No @DPJHodges he’s being attacked for helping fund a building project in Central Manchester to the tune of £55m of taxpayer money, for a project that ticked none of said area’s local housing policies in terms of social housing & Section 106 Community contributions.
The whole "Man City is the scandal that will expose Burnham!!!!" thing is another example of the fundamental problem his opponents have. They haven't yet come up with a strategy for properly attacking him. So they're casting around for anything.

EXCLUSIVE: Burnham’s Trade Secretary previously accepted donation from UAE Government. As the Prime Minister comes under pressure over £55 million taxpayer-funded loans, I have uncovered further evidence of Labour Party links to Abu Dhabi. Here’s what I found:🧵

So the offshore, Abu Dhabi owned, Manchester Life development received £55m taxpayer funding to build a project with zero affordable housing & zero Section106 payments back into the community, all under the careful watch of Burnham. 👀 xitter.cf/melissareddy_/status/2…
Breaking news that Andy Burnham oversaw a £55m taxpayer loan linked to Man City’s owners. He’s clearly compromised and must come clean on all his financial links to the club’s owners. English football fans deserve so much better than this sorry mess. telegraph.co.uk/news/2026/10…

Andy Burnham next month: "I know pensioners are worried about cold season who can't afford heating. You can download a weather app to prepare yourself better. Then you can use Google Maps to find your nearest British Heart Foundations who sell cheaper blankets."
I know people are worried about fuel prices. And I get it. You get to the pump, watch the numbers climb, and wonder why it's costing so much more than it used to.   The reality is that global events are pushing up costs, and families here at home are feeling the impact.   But I won't accept that there's nothing I can do to help.   That's why from today, you'll be able to see petrol and diesel prices on Google Maps, compare nearby stations and find the cheapest option before you fill up.   It's a small change, but if there's a practical way to help people keep more money in their pocket, I'll do it.
