🚨 Andoni Iraola: “We are on the right way now… but not yet where I want to be”. 🫵🏼

🚨🇬🇧 They say, “Tommy was protecting his family.” “They did it to him first.”
Two excuses. A jury heard and rejected both.
The Mail wrote about a public figure on holiday. Tommy hired private investigators to photograph journalists’ homes, then told a million followers “I will find you.”
That isn’t the same thing. And it isn’t protection.
Here’s what the jury actually heard.
What happened
In August 2024, while England was rioting, Robinson was on holiday in Cyprus, posting about the riots to his followers. The Mail found him there and ran a story: “Stoking riots from his sunbed.”
Over the next three days he went after the two reporters, Jacob Dirnhuber and Andrew Young.
🔺5 August: a direct message to Dirnhuber. “I’ll be knocking at your door.”
🔺5 August: a phone call to Young. Robinson told him he’d be coming to his home and that he’d “have to move house.”
🔺6 August: a post naming Dirnhuber, saying he and the other Mail journalists had “today been located.”
🔺7 August: a video to around a million followers. He said he had details of where they and their families lived. He told them to abide by “men’s rules.” Then: “The men, on the other hand, I will find you.”
He also hired private investigators to photograph their homes. He admitted it in court.
The result: Dirnhuber moved house. Young was given a close protection officer.
The law
The charge was harassment causing fear of violence. The prosecution had to prove a course of conduct that made each man fear violence on at least two occasions, and that Robinson knew or ought to have known it would.
That last part is an objective test. What Robinson says he meant doesn’t decide it. What decides it is what a reasonable person would expect a million followers to do with “I will find you.”
His defence
He said he was protecting his family. That is a real defence in law, if the conduct is reasonable for protecting someone. Police had given him four threat-to-life warnings. The jury heard all of it.
Why it failed
He admitted the aim was pressure. Telling a million people where journalists live doesn’t protect your children. It endangers theirs.
🔺He didn’t dispute that they were frightened. Asked in evidence, he said no.
🔺He never complained to the press regulator. He never asked the Mail to change or remove the story. The legal route was there. He skipped it.
🔺His own words. “Men’s rules” is not the language of protection.
One is journalism, however much you dislike it. The other is a threat.
The jury
He chose this. At the magistrates’ court he was offered a trial there. He opted for a jury instead, saying he wanted 12 members of the British public to hear the evidence.
They did. They convicted on both counts.
Sentencing is on 16 December.

Think Iraola deserves far more credit than the general consensus seems to be right now, he’s lost ONE match at Liverpool, to City. They’re 3 wins from 3 in the UCL, on 15 points after 8 games (71-ish point pace), utilising Nyoni, Koumas, Rio, McConnell. They were one of the teams whose transfer business was most worrying, Araujo’s done well but RB, LB, central midfield, he’s managed those issues near-perfectly. Still so much to be improved on even from a coaching POV but in a transition season with a sub optimal “rebuild” in the summer, you couldn’t have asked for much more.

The Green Party cannot and must not back down on "Zionism is Racism!"

I’ve written to @premierleague Chief Executive Richard Masters demanding action on poverty chanting following Everton’s game against Chelsea.
Everton & Liverpool supporters have endured this class prejudice for years. Mocking families who cannot afford to put food on the table is shameful.
Through Fans Supporting Foodbanks, supporters stand together to feed our communities. The Premier League must show the same solidarity & leadership.
Hunger doesn’t wear colours. It’s time our game acted like it.

🔴@Helen_Whately, Shadow Secretary of State for Work & Pensions, has claimed £2 MILLION expenses in 10 years.
£300,000 relates to her own travel and accommodation - yet she only lives 50 miles from London.
Her boss, @KemiBadenoch has 3 children, claims £2.7K per month to rent a 6 bed farmhouse & tried to claim expenses for a family holiday.
The country can't afford these @Conservatives.

ย้อนมองกลับไปวันแรกที่เจอกัน แฟรงค์ในตอนนั้นดูอ่อนแรง ป่วยไข้ และมีแววตาที่หม่นหมองจนน่าใจหาย เราได้แต่เฝ้าดูแล ประคับประคอง และหวังว่าสักวันรอยยิ้มของเขาจะกลับมา จนมาถึงวันนี้ ปาฏิหาริย์เล็กๆ ก็เกิดขึ้นจริง เพราะแฟรงค์ที่เคยนอนซึมในวันวาน กลายมาเป็นเจ้าตัวแสบที่สดใสและมีชีวิตชีวาจนเหมือนพร้อมจะกางปีกบินได้ทุกวินาที ขอบคุณที่เข้มแข็งและสู้มาด้วยกันจนถึงวันนี้นะแฟรงค์

🚨 Richard Hughes on why Liverpool appointed Andoni Iraola instead of Xabi Alonso:
🎙️ Interviewer: “Richard, when Liverpool were struggling under Arne Slot towards the end of the season, almost every Liverpool fan wanted Xabi Alonso. He was available after leaving Real Madrid, he had a connection with the club, and supporters believed he was the obvious choice. Why did Liverpool go in a completely different direction?
Richard Hughes: “I understood the supporters. I really did. Xabi Alonso is a Liverpool legend. The relationship he has with this club is special, and nobody can erase what he achieved here. When a club is struggling, supporters naturally look towards someone who understands its history and what wearing that shirt means”
“But our responsibility was different. We couldn’t make a decision based on nostalgia, emotion or what would make the loudest section of the fanbase happy. We had to ask ourselves one question: who is the right manager for Liverpool’s future, not just the manager Liverpool fans would love to see return?
“Those are two very different questions, and sometimes the answers are not the same.”
Interviewer: “So was Xabi Alonso ever Liverpool’s first choice? Because the perception was that he was waiting for a call that never came.
Richard Hughes: “I won’t disrespect Xabi by pretending he wasn’t an outstanding candidate. Of course, his name carried enormous weight. His connection to Liverpool, his football intelligence and his experience made him someone people would naturally discuss”
“But we had to look beyond the name. We studied the direction we wanted the team to take, the characteristics we needed in the dressing room and the style of football we believed could bring Liverpool back to where they belonged”
“Behind the scenes, we were doing our work quietly. There were no dramatic public announcements, no leaks designed to prepare the supporters and no campaign to convince people that our decision was inevitable”
“We knew what we wanted to do. We didn’t need the world to know before we were ready.”
Interviewer: “And that man was Andoni Iraola, who was at Bournemouth and had already indicated that he wanted to leave at the end of the season. What did you see in him that convinced you he was the right man?
Richard Hughes: “Intensity. Courage. A clear footballing identity. And a willingness to demand more from his players every single day”
“We weren’t simply looking for someone who could manage Liverpool. We wanted someone who could change the way Liverpool played, restore the team’s aggression and make opponents uncomfortable again”
“Andoni had shown that his teams could play with energy, press with purpose and attack without being afraid of taking risks. We believed those qualities could translate to a club with Liverpool’s expectations”
“Some people saw a manager at Bournemouth. We saw a coach whose ideas matched the direction we wanted to take”
“We weren’t asking who had the biggest name. We were asking who could build the strongest Liverpool team.”

I have today written to the Charity Commission to complain about the activities of Westminster Synagogue which appears to have broken charity law by hosting fundraising campaigns for the 'Israel' occupation forces on its website.
The letter was supported by a four page briefing containing all the evidence assembled by Public Interest Investigations. The covering letter is below. A review of the evidence is in my recent article for @mintpressnews. The link is in the replies below.

Despite the Duke of Beaufort's huntsman and whipper in both facing a court trial for illegal hunting they are insistent on continuing to blatantly break the law and terrorise wildlife.
On Thursday 22nd of October they were caught red-handed once again as drone footage captured them killing a fox and disposing of the body as they met in Bremhill, Calne. Not content with this kill they continued to hunt and chase another fox. Two days later and they're back at it, hunting at least two foxes and causing distress to other wildlife such as hares and deer.
Hunts are behaving with impunity while the vast majority of the public are waiting for the government to deliver what was promised in their manifesto, a full ban on hunting with hounds.

Russell Brand has just told court that he couldn't get ONE single person to come defend him in court.
If found guilty of all 7 charges he will get 15-19 years and be eligible for parole in roughly 2040.

💬 𝗤𝗨𝗢𝗧𝗘 - Andoni Iraola on Carabao Cup ambitions:
“I have a lot players that have probably won a lot of trophies. But if I speak for myself, I don't have a lot. So for me, every chance we can have to arrive to a final or to win a cup for me is massive!” 🇪🇸🏆

Tommy Robinson faces up to 10 years in jail after being found guilty of harassing journalists.
Journalists from the Daily Mail and their family members fled their homes after “bullyboy, intimidatory tactics”.
His legal bill paid for by Elon Musk.
