Steven Gerrard only scored 2 goals at Goodison.
Tim Cahill scored more goals at Anfield than Gerrard scored at Goodison. #EFC

Hi Russell, considering I am the only Labour Councillor on the authority and I was not at the induction (as I have been here 9 years), this is a complete lie and a breach of standards @reformexposed
I’m sat in my first Essex County Council meeting on Monday morning, listening to a councillor induction presentation.
‘Any questions?’ asks an officer.
A hand goes up.
‘Yes’ says a recently elected Labour member.
‘Do I get a pension as a councillor?’.
His first question was about how much money he gets. Not procedure, or meeting dates or where the loos are… but how much cash he can grab.
Same old Labour.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
There is only one Labour councillor on Essex County Council, Cllr Lee Scordis. He has been a councillor for 9 years.
He did not attend the induction meeting.

To be fair the first goal ever scored at Anfield was scored by Everton, the first game ever won at Anfield was won by Everton, the first title won at Anfield was won by Everton, the first ever Merseyside derby was won by Everton, etc.
I think it’s nice you finally have something

Boris Johnson didn't pass vetting when Theresa May appointed him forgein secretary.
The media must have missed that one.
As someone who has been through and passed Developed Vetting, I can assure you that it is an incredibly rigorous (and expensive) process.
The professionals involved in our vetting work to the highest standards. Rightly so.
It is absolutely fundamental to our national security.
Overrule or ignore it because of cronyism and the whole system comes crashing down.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
There is no evidence Boris Johnson failed vetting whilst Foreign Secretary.
Reports that information was withheld from Mr Johnson have been specifically denied.

“We know that whilst AMHP expertise is respected (if not valued) locally, it can often be overlooked at a national level, and we seek platforms to share it more effectively.”

Very sobering from @HouseofCommons Health & Social Care select committee on community mental health services -
"Failure to act risks worsening outcomes, deepening inequalities, and will lead to further preventable harm and tragic loss of life."

5 Shite Mansfield Things:
1. League one songs from the away end.
2. People doing that ‘SUIII’ thing when Alcaraz did the Ronaldo celebration. Nearly got off.
3. A number 9 playing centre back for them.
4. That cup draw then. Was like an episode of Numberwang.
5. The first half.

5 Good Mansfield Things:
1. Harrison Armstrong. More games this season please.
2. Coleman leading a team out at Bramley-Moore and doing 90 mins.
3. Wearing shorts to the match.
4. Dibling with his low socks and curtains. He’ll do for me.
5. The Alacraz goal.

People may think Everton's confirmed finish of 13th place means our final game of the season is a dead rubber. They are wrong, we now have the opportunity to stop the Geordies reaching the Champions League on their own turf. A fanbase that was looking forward to relegating us.

Full time in the big game of the day and the glory is Man City’s as they overcome Notts Forest by two goals to zip to proceed to the FA Cup Final v Crystal Palace. Gutting for #NFFC who didn’t really turn up. LC.
