Masterson with arguably the worst half I’ve ever seen from a professional footballer. #readingfc

Hopefully the announcement tonight means there’s another coming tomorrow #readingfc
Wonder how many other teams expecting promotion are going and signing a 32 year old striker who can’t get in the Stevenage team with two days left in the window. #readingfc
Looks like the club have finally caught @insandouts25 😂 #readingfc
🚨There are currently no issues around player registration at #readingfc - a club source has confirmed.
The same people moaning about a gambling sponsor will also be the first to moan when we don’t spend enough in the transfer market. #readingfc
Charging fans a fiver to watch Getafe’s free live stream is not a good look. “Football for the people”. #readingfc
Not going to pretend I’ve heard of Jacob Brown until about two minutes ago but he’s hardly prolific for a striker is he.. #readingfc
Notts County season finished on Monday & they’ve made 2 signings today
Reading haven’t played for a month and our only link seems to be with Will Keane.
So much for getting business done early. #readingfc
Tories have to stand aside, it would be absolutely hilarious if Reform won this.
I can confirm that I will be requesting the permission of the NEC to stand in the Makerfield by-election.
I grew up in this area and have lived here for 25 years. I care deeply about it and its people. I know they have been let down by national politics.
Ten years ago, I decided to leave Westminster. Why? Because, after 16 years, I came to the conclusion that our national political system does not work for areas like ours. I learnt this fighting its failure to invest in the Wigan borough, for justice for the Hillsborough families and against its treatment of Greater Manchester during the pandemic.
Over the last decade, I have been challenging this failure from the outside and building a new and better way of doing politics. We have built Greater Manchester into the fastest-growing city-region in the UK and put buses back under public control, introducing a £2 fare cap to help people with cost-of-living pressures.
However, there is only so much that can be done from Greater Manchester. Much bigger change is needed at a national level if everyday life is to be made more affordable again. This is why I now seek people’s support to return to Parliament: to bring the change we have brought to Greater Manchester to the whole of the UK and make politics work properly for people.
Millions are struggling and they need the Labour Government to succeed. It has already made changes to make life better for them in its first two years. After this week, we owe it to people to come back together as a Labour movement, giving the Prime Minister and the Government the space and stability they need as the by-election takes place.
I want to recognise the difficult decision taken by Josh Simons and the sacrifice he and his family are making. I have worked closely with him as Mayor on issues like flooding and illegal waste dumping and have seen first-hand how effective he has been. He has put the communities of Makerfield first, made a real difference for them and should take great pride in that.
Finally, I truly do not take a single vote for granted and will work hard to regain the trust of people in the Makerfield constituency, many of whom have long supported our party but lost faith in recent times. We will change Labour for the better and make it a party you can believe in again.
