I asked Labour MP Dawn Butler why she's demanding my constituents pay more tax to fund "reparations".
She wouldn't answer, but called me a "racist" in the Commons.
It's not right to make people pay "reparations" when they've done nothing wrong. Name-calling doesn't change that.

🚨 Manchester City’s financial troubles have taken another turn.
The UK’s audit regulator is now examining the club’s accounts and the work of its auditors.
No new punishment yet, but the investigation into the finances is widening.
This saga just keeps getting bigger 😭🍿

🚨Jonathan Reynolds took a taxpayer-funded £7.6k Dubai flight to meet Man City chairman Khaldoon Al Mubarak’s firm mid-probe into 100+ financial breaches. He met them again after the hearing and in No10 a fortnight before the guilty verdict.
Officially “about investment.” With Burnham’s City ties and the timing, it looks like preferential treatment for the owners while the club fights the findings. City deny and are appealing.

I'm from Manchester, grew up in ready Manchester and you don't know what the fuck you're talking about.
Tony Blair's government over about a decade, redeveloped East Manchester. Before city's owners had heard of the club.
Let's not pretend all of his that area looks today was down to them - it wasn't.
Manchester hasn't been redeveloped in any way, shape of form by "Abu Dhabi".
Manchester's redevelopment, which is almost exclusively Spinningfields, had left three people well and truly behind.
When you look at east Manchester, the sort profit deal is a terrible long term plan; woody all the ownership is in Jersey 👀 and the council, who's nearly bankrupt, needs to put up taxes for everyone relentlessly (and did so under Andy Burnham).
During a housing crisis, a cost of living crisis and when multiple councils including Manchester have no cash, it's almost immoral to gift large swathes of land away in the manger they have.
It’s a bit like inviting a wealthy guest to build a shiny extension on your house. It looks great at the initial summit, and it creates a few local building jobs at the start. But once it's finished, they lock the door, charge rent to your kids, and send every single penny of that profit straight overseas forever.
Perspective helps.
And you have none, by the way
I have been in Manchester since 2013.
The redevelopment of the city has been incredible
Across Deansgate square, Northern Quarter and Ancoats.
A lot of this was delivered by Andy Burnham.
A lot of this was delivered with money from The UAE - the backers of Man City.
In the last few weeks, the case against them of 115 charges for financial fraud found them guilty on every financial count.
In what should be a non political process and focus on the rules around the Premier League is slowly during into a diplomatic issue.
And when you have our former Mayor now Prime Minister - who in my opinion - owes his entire premiership to his redevelopment of Manchester and therefore to the UAE... the chances of an truly independent process becomes ruined.
Andy is a football fan, he voices his love for Everton. Who are the club which have statistically lost out most due to the crimes committed by Manchester City - but he will always put his own self interest above anything. Like most politicians.
If I was Everton Football Club I'd never welcome him back for the statement he made regarding the matter.
This should be a footballing matter, but unfortunately it is becoming political.
As a Liverpool fan, I burden significant heartbreak over the last few years of football, largely down to Man City and mainly have a City fan as a best friend.
Final day heart break, Unsuccessful trips to Wembley and so on.
I use my platform largely to voice my opinion and I think having a Prime Minister who owes his career down to a foreign nation state which have impacted our beautiful game is a very dangerous world to live in.
Hopefully the outcome remains independent and we can all enjoy Man City playing York City next season.
Yours Faithfully,
A fan of the the other 91 legitimate football league clubs.

Haaland’s dad pretending to be one of the City faithful at Anfield after reportedly pocketing £17 MILLION from his own son’s transfer! 😂💰
Let’s see if he’s still there when they’re playing Dorking Wanderers away next season! 🤣

French giants Bordeaux relegated to sixth tier for financial irregularities......and this was for just over €10m.
Take note, FA and the Prem. Do the right thing!
