There’s nothing quite like the people of Liverpool. Unbelievable effort from everyone who campaigned, donated their hard earned money and promoted for @ZoesPlaceLiv 30 days to raise 5million seemed quite impossible, but not for Liverpool. ❤️ #zoesplace
The royal family charges the Scilly Isles RNLI for lifeboats crossing "their" beaches when they are launched. So when lives are saved there, by a charity, the royal family gets money from it. Is there anything lower and more mercenary than that?
The most accurate, whilst motivating analysis of the Trump victory. Mass organising around policy that will make a material difference to the working-classes is the only option. Liberalism is dead.
All the takes are correct and yet they also miss the point. Yes, it was insane for the Democrats to think they could win by running a soulless candidate, without a shred of progressive policy vision, pursuing endorsements from neocon war-hawks everybody hates, while arming and…
The Royals make millions in profit each year, but this has always been shrouded in secrecy, until now. A joint @C4Dispatches and @thetimes investigation reveals that the King and Prince William are receiving public money through leasing property to public services like the NHS.
Politicians who don't want the ECHR to apply to them are exactly the kinds of politicians the ECHR is designed to protect us from.
On the podcast this week @lynseyhooper & @tatsdowie are joined by @alexculvin who chat's about her role at @FIFPRO and what can be done to avoid dominance in the women's game 🎧 podfollow.com/offsiderule
#MadridSeLevanta12F Huge demonstration in Madrid. More than 250,000 people demonstrate to defend the public health system and protest against its privatization.
New paper: "Match workload and international travel associated with (ACL) injuries in professional women's football" @steve_dh1 @alexculvin @KerkhoffsG @FIFPRO @SportsMedUP @AmsterdamCHSS @amsterdamumc
Yesterday’s #ProjectACL summit was a blast! A big up to the players for sharing their insights on how we collaborate to develop a more sustainable industry. A huge thanks to our project partners + @FIFPRO staff ❤️ + @SuzyWrack it was epic to talk ACL+football with you.
“ACL injuries are often labelled an epidemic, but #ProjectACL is about understanding their complex, multifactorial nature, from player workload to club conditions. It's time to shift the narrative from binary thinking to a holistic approach.” 🗣️ #FIFPRO's Dr @AlexCulvin
Receiving proper maternity pay and care remains a struggle for players in Europe. Words for @dw_sports on the work @FIFPRO are doing to ensure players can successfully manage having a family and a career. With input from @alexculvin and @sarabjork18 dw.com/en/womens-foot…
Today we will discuss with @helenwardie10 @sarabjork18 @Cheynalee_ @ElliottSale the postpartum return to play experience of professional women footballers. Join us here: twitter.com/i/spaces/1YqJD… to understand more from a player-centric perspective.
The antidote to this drivel.
Returning to the pitch after childbirth needn’t be daunting. Join players and medical experts to discuss #FIFPRO’s new Postpartum Return to Play Guide. 👉 twitter.com/i/spaces/1YqJD… 🎙️ @HelenWardie10 🎙️ @SaraBjork18 🎙️ @CheynaLee_ 🎙️ @AlexCulvin 🎙️ @ElliottSale #PlayersTalk
Boeing's outgoing CEO will receive a $45 million retirement package. The CEO before him received a $62 million golden parachute after 346 passengers died on his watch. If you're a CEO of a big corporation, it doesn't matter how much you fail. You will still walk away filthy rich.
Feel incredibly privileged to be appointed as the Director of Policy and Strategic Relations for Women’s Football. This role is one that means so much. I have big shoes to fill. I am super excited to get going with so much work to be done on behalf of players and unions globally
The NWSL and the NWSL Players Association announced they have agreed on a new CBA that is set to last through the 2030 season. ⚽️: No NWSL draft ⚽️: Better pay ⚽️: Expanded leave More 👇 spr.ly/6010l2qO6
My view is that if you choose to use the moments after a spate of anti-immigrant riots and racist pogroms to crackdown on migrants and asylum-seekers - then you are fuelling the fire that the far-right is burning.
Labour is announcing a "major surge" in immigration enforcement. They will aim to achieve in next 6 months the "highest rate of removals of those with no right to be here, including failed asylum-seekers, for five years". Will increase detention capacity to achieve it.
Shabna Begum writing in Tribune this week had a great line on what Hodge is attempting here: “The anger that has been directed towards Muslims, migrants and people of colour cannot be debated into legitimacy. The attempt to do so is itself another layer of complicity and racism.”
‘We’re too frightened to talk about immigration,’ warns top Labour party veteran theguardian.com/global/article…
There’s something about calling out racism that upsets people. Watching @zarahsultana treatment this week reminds me of this. Politicians have a responsibility not to indulge in language that fuels hate. Politicians from all sides have failed. I fear we're seeing the results.
