Our new report has found the largest independent providers of children’s social care made profits of over £300 million last year. With rising financial pressures in children’s services, we’re calling for greater financial oversight of these providers.⬇️ local.gov.uk/about/news/bigg…

From yesterday's exhibits in US v. Sam Bankman-Fried: The prosecution shows that the "insurance fund" that FTX bragged about was fake, and just calculated by multiplying daily trading volume by a random number around 7500

The game, the Spanish players deserve more, no players should have to endure this. It’s unacceptable, and also laughable that these men still are allowed so much power. @Jennihermoso we are all with you ❤️

One of the things over the past weeks that has struck me is how often it is left to women in football to kick up a fuss. Why won’t men in football who can see things happening that they privately disagree with use their platforms?

This.
Right decision, horrendous statement. The only people in a position to ever assert guilt or innocence re domestic abuse allegations are trained, qualified, experienced experts. This goes far beyond the scope of what @ManUtd were tasked with.

This statement is appalling. Greenwood hasn’t been cleared of any charges. They were dropped. Quite why the club feel that they need to assert otherwise is completely beyond me. I already didn’t think they could demonstrate poorer judgement and arrogance if they tried…
An open letter from our Chief Executive Officer, Richard Arnold. #MUFC

To be clear; Man United’s executive wished to bring back Greenwood. Richard Arnold communicated it on Aug 1 & execs were trying to justify it to bewildered staff as late as Thurs/Friday. By August, this was not one of several scenarios being “modelled” theathletic.com/4790552/2023…

When I collected my A level results, I’d just left foster care & was adjusting to living alone in a council flat. No family to celebrate with. Deep isolation. No “well done” lunch. Shout out to all the care experienced ppl collecting results today. Be proud. What a triumph. ❤️👊🏽
