Manchester City U19s recorded their first win of the season in the UEFA Youth League, beating Shakhtar Donetsk 4-1 on Wednesday. The young Blues - who reached the semi-finals last season - had slipped to defeats against Lyon and Hoffenheim in the opening two matchdays before drawing away at Shakhtar last time out. And their hopes of progressing to the knockout stages were hanging by a thread after they fell behind to an 18th-minute strike from Checkh Maksym for the visitors. City responded in the second half and drew level through a fine Taylor Richards strike. A double substitution saw Lorenzo Gonazalez and Benjamin Garre enter the fray and they made an immediate difference in a brilliant 13-minute spell as Richards put the Blues ahead from the spot, before Garre and Gonzalez both scored. The result now puts City in third on 4 points.

Theresa May and Jeremy Corbyn have similar problems in their parties – and it’s starting to damage our democracy
This time last year, three Labour Party members were expelled for having agreed a “progressive alliance” to unseat the Conservative health secretary, Jeremy Hunt, at the general election in the constituency of South West Surrey. They had been involved in trying to implement a local agreement whereby the local Labour Party, Green Party and Liberal Democrats stood to one side and backed a single candidate – a local GP – to run against Hunt under the colours of the National Health Action Party. One of those expelled had been a member of 50 years standing; another was the constituency Labour Party secretary. The rationale for this progressive alliance was that there was a far better chance of unseating the health secretary – who had a majority of more than 28,000 – if all the forces of social justice united behind one candidate rather than being split between other parties. Given the immense damage Hunt has caused to the NHS, this seemed eminently … [Read more...] about Theresa May and Jeremy Corbyn have similar problems in their parties – and it’s starting to damage our democracy
