After four years I am delighted to confirm I have submitted my PhD for examination. Whilst the journey to get to this point has been challenging on occasions, it has also been the most rewarding. Looking forward to defending the findings at the VIVA in the coming months!

Just remember Labour have a thumping majority. If the government wanted to make big strategic changes to how we organise the economy, workers’ rights, energy production, the cost of living or housing then it could.

What Farage doesn’t tell you is that the rights he wants to take away from migrants are the rights that will be taken away from you. He is the one representing the biggest single threat to the country’s unity in decades. mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/da…

It is with more sadness than mere words can convey that we have to report that our beloved Ozzy Osbourne has passed away this morning. He was with his family and surrounded by love. We ask everyone to respect our family privacy at this time.   Sharon, Jack, Kelly, Aimee and Louis

The problem is an exploitative, extractive economic system rigged against most people and our planet. The solution is not further cuts - we need to tax extreme wealth instead. 10 alternative proposals to disability benefit cuts from Labour MPs last week, totalling up to £120bn:

Amazing how measures targeted at reducing wealth inequalities are framed as ‘bashing the rich’…

So sad to hear this. Not only an incredible player but from my experience a great person. Always took the time to interact with the young players who he met and came across at the academy. Thoughts are with his friends, family, and teammates at this time.
We are heartbroken. Diogo was adored by our fans, loved by his teammates and cherished by everyone who worked with him during his time at Wolves. The memories he created will never be forgotten. Our hearts go out to the family, friends and loved ones of Diogo and his brother, Andre. You will be truly missed, and always remembered.

I would like to thank the 136 fellow MPs and 29 peers from 10 political parties who have supported my letter today calling on the PM to deliver ‘The Hillsborough Law’ as he promised in the 2022 & 2024 Liverpool party conferences. A watered-down replacement will not be accepted nor befitting to be called ‘Hillsborough Law'. There can be no compromise in ending the culture of state cover ups. #JFT97

MP's are looking at Social Media to see how they should vote on the PIP cuts. They should vote against them, and they should tax billionaires. If you agree spread the message so they see.
