🚨 Jürgen Klopp sends a message to Jamie Carragher over his criticism of Florian Wirtz: šŸŽ™ļø ā€œJamie is entitled to his opinion. But Florian doesn’t need Jamie Carragher to tell him whether he is good enough for Liverpool. And honestly, after tonight, I think Florian has already given his answerā€ ā€œPeople were talking about dropping him, questioning his level, questioning whether this is simply ā€˜what he is’. Then he puts on the Germany shirt, takes responsibility, creates danger, hits the post, scores and walks off with everyone talking about him again. That is Florian Wirtz. He doesn’t need defending. He needs patienceā€ ā€œSo if I were Liverpool, I wouldn’t be worried about what Jamie says. I’d be worried about what happens when Florian finally reaches his best level because when that happens, a lot of people are going to have to find a very different opinion.ā€

Manchester City cheated Premier League rules, the Commission found. Did it also cheat HMRC? We've examined the decision and leaked Mancini documents. We think City likely failed to pay £12m in tax. There should be a criminal investigation. Thread:

Definitely didn’t make this clear, no.
NEW Downing Street issues fresh statement on Man City case in an attempt to clarify Andy Burnham's comments to @ChrisMasonBBC yesterday A No 10 spokesperson said: ā€œAs the Prime Minister made clear, the initial judgement is serious and there can’t be any suggestion that anyone is above the rules. He also stressed that it is an ongoing independent process. It is essential that it is allowed to run its course and the outcome respected. ā€œIf wrongdoing is established, those responsible should face the appropriate consequences.ā€œ

Charles Spencer said nobody knew he was writing his memoir, "Swan Song: Diana, My Sister," except for his wife and the publishers. "I didn't tell any of the family until just before it was released publicly as a thing. I didn't want anyone to think, particularly with Harry, who people know I had to stay in the summer, that he was in any way involved in this," Spencer said. Spencer said he has spoken with William and Harry since the book was released. cbsn.ws/4rFG1s3

I hope Janan Ganesh is wrong. But there is something worryingly plausible about this. At the least Burnham is hardly putting growth front and centre. Yet if we are to deal with any of the social issues he says he cares about we absolutely must have economic growth.

Horrendous statement from UK prime minister Andy Burnham on Manchester City’s Abu Dhabi ownership. 1) As PM he should remain entirely neutral. 2) ā€˜I can’t intervene *more*’ suggests he already has. 3) ā€˜The detail’ may demonstrate that losing them would be for the best.

The Labour Party want to have a debate about the triple lock because they don’t want to talk about reforming working age welfare. PIP alone is forecast to go up by over Ā£20bn by 2030 and they are doing nothing about it.

Really good interview with Princess Diana’s former bodyguard, Ken Wharfe, who says he believes Charles Spencer and personally witnessed the gaslighting of Diana by Charles and the ā€œmen in grey suitsā€. He also saw firsthand just how much pain Charles and Camilla’s affair caused Diana. Full article šŸ‘‰ archive.is/MuvG7

This is great journalism by @gabriel_pogrund and the Sunday Times. If it wasn’t for their work we wouldn’t even know about this appalling scandal. I’ve been warning for some time that people are exploiting the system. Our laws, kindness and generosity are being used against us. It’s why we need to leave the ECHR -so we can deport those who arrive here illegally and strip British passports from naturalised citizens who commit these deeply serious offences.

Credit to Earl Spencer for doing what Piers Morgan might want to try sometime: checking the facts before confidently making a meal of someone else’s name. Earl Spencer got it wrong, owned it and apologised. That’s called integrity.

Piers Morgan spent the 90s running papers that treated privacy like a suggestion, got sacked for fake Iraq torture pics, and had a High Court judge later find he knew about phone hacking and even played voicemails in the newsroom. Now Earl Spencer gets one publication date wrong about gym photos from before Morgan was even editor and suddenly it’s ā€œyou’ll be hearing from my lawyers.ā€ He dishes it out for 30 years then cries libel the second it comes back. Always first to the scene of the outrage. Never last to own any of it.

Hilarious that @piersmorgan is moaning about Charles' Spencer's book when various volumes of his own "diaries" were cobbled together after the fact, and contained umpteen inaccurate or simply untrue statements.

Charles Spencer’s net worth is about $150,000,000. The assertion that he is somehow a ā€œgrifterā€ is laughable at best. Almost as laughable is the idea that the British press is more of an authority on Princess Diana than her own brother or son. Insanity.
