🚨 Mikel Arteta sends a heartfelt message to Michael Carrick following his dismissal as Manchester United manager:
🗣️ “First of all, I want to send Michael my best wishes. I have a lot of respect for him, both as a coach and as a person.
“I still remember our last meeting at the Emirates. He beat us, and Manchester United scored three goals against Arsenal for the first time in 121 matches. That tells you how difficult he made life for us that afternoon. I was already looking forward to another mouthwatering battle against him, but unfortunately, that won't happen now.
“What Michael achieved last season deserves enormous credit. He came into Manchester United midway through a difficult campaign and still managed to guide them to third place. Not every manager could have done that under those circumstances.
“I'm disappointed that he hasn't been given more time to turn things around this season. Managers need patience, support and the opportunity to build something, especially when they inherit a difficult situation.
“I hope the owners and the people running Manchester United understand what Michael was trying to build. Sometimes, you need to give a manager the time and backing to put things right rather than constantly starting again.
“Football can be very unforgiving, but one difficult period should never erase the good work you've done. Michael is a good coach, and I'm certain he will have another opportunity.
“I wish him and his family nothing but the best. He deserves respect for what he has achieved.”

I had high hopes Sir Jim Ratcliffe would sort out the football side of @ManUtd when he joined. But alas all he’s done is piss off the staff, piss off the fans, sacked Ten Hag.Amorim & Carrick, overseen bad player signings and steered us into the relegation zone! Disaster. 😩

So the failed useless hierarchy at @ManUtd have thrown Michael Carrick under the bus…and guess what? They all survive. Again. Not one of them is held accountable for their absolute failure. It’s an absolute disgrace. Shameful!

What a fantastic day at Windsor Castle to receive my MBE from Prince William. I was dead nervous beforehand, but was then ok chatting with him about football and our work with the homeless over the last 10 years at the Macari Centre.

Richard Osman has nailed Russell Brand here all ends up
Explaining Brands spin of playing a victim trying to be silenced by the establishment who don’t like him speaking the truth
The real truth was he knew he was a sexual abuser and the walls were closing in on him

“I can reveal that showbusiness reporters at the Sun were told to drop negative stories about [David] Walliams because both that newspaper and HarperCollins are owned by Rupert Murdoch’s News UK, even sharing offices near London Bridge,” confided showbiz maven Katie Hind to Daily Mail readers on 20 December.
Hind’s revelation came after the comedian and children’s author was dropped by his publisher following an investigation into “inappropriate behaviour”. (Walliams denies inappropriate behaviour and has said he is taking legal advice.)
She’s not wrong. As the Eye has long noted, Murdoch’s titles have been obliged to do PR duties for Walliams, running plugs for his kids’ books disguised as news stories, special editions of the Funday Times and even Covid home- schooling resources.

Russell Brand has been sentenced to 10 years 6 months. At his trial his lawyer invited the judge to conclude the offences were 'the consequence of that level of fame.' No. They were the consequence of him being a rapist who thought fame meant he could do it and get away with it.

This account by @DanNeidle of Russell Brand's use of an injunction to silence (and bankrupt) a woman who accused him of assaulting her is shocking.
She wasn't even allowed to talk about it to the police or to medics other than named individuals.

I may have accidentally met Russell Brand once or seventeen times where I inadvertently referred to Brand as a political colossus & mankind's preeminent thinker as he guest edited my magazine, but this sycophantic praise was my way of expressing how much I utterly detested him .
Lt Col Andrew Curphey RAMS retweeted
On Thursday I wrote about the 2014 injunction Russell Brand obtained against a woman who accused him of assault.
I've now obtained the final order. It's breathtaking.
She had no lawyer. No trial. Yet she was silenced for life - even barred from speaking to the police.

1 in 4 women in the UK have been raped or sexually assaulted since the age of 16
6 in 7 rapes against women in the UK are carried out by someone they know
5 in 6 women who are raped in the UK don’t report it to the police
Fewer than 3 in 100 rapes recorded by UK police in 2024 resulted in someone being charged that same year
It is an abhorrent crime committed by cowards. Every perpetrator put in prison is a blessing.

Russell Brand is officially a rapist & sex abuser
The women who came forward should not be forgotten, it takes enormous courage to speak up
The passage of time does not erase the possibility of justice
This is about accountability, not celebrity
There will be others…

"I remember interviewing Russell Brand. He was a superstar," says @Maitlis.
"It is chilling to listen back to it".
"This is a story of sexual abuse we have now heard so many times - of men becoming so powerful and entitled that no one dares speak out against them".
