Former England footballer Gary Neville has joined the Labour Party and is not ruling out a venture into politics.
However, asked by Nick Robinson whether he would consider running for mayor of Greater Manchester when Andy Burnham's term ends, Neville said: "I'm not sure that would be for me to be honest." "I'm able to communicate, I know what I want, I have got a business mind, I can manage people in respect of businesses," he added.
Like his old team that used to win
Thought he had.
He talks too much anyway..politics might be right field for him...they just talk rubbish
My mate always used to say “you can only be a socialist if you can afford to be a socialist”. Clearly a case in point.
Nooooooooooo !! We need those Merseyside votes.
Another reason why Labour are laughable
Well I prefer champagne socialists to working class people who vote Tory, at least
And this is news why?
Welcome Gary, his Twitter feed shows he is a very decent man with excellent values.
Never ! I could never have imagined this happening. You're pulling my leg. Next you'll be trying to tell me George Michael was gay
Hope he’s better at talking politics than he is football.
Oh no that’s all we need , Neville as PM
Another own goal.
Probably gona join starmers party group starmerparty
News?
Stand in Boris Johnson seat as to get him out
GNev2 was a labour supporter?! Well I never…
Probably all of the amazing policy announcements
Idiot
Gaz for pM
He's certainly got that Blair like look in his eye. Maniacal.
Make a good Oasis lyric 'A champagne super socialist who works for Sky'
Brilliant. Great to see people with influence proudly going for it instead of sitting in the corner watching Tory partying and do nothing!
So what
Couldn't see that coming
Shame. He’s toothless now.
I am surprised they could afford the transfer fee.
Joins ? I thought he was the leader & starmer was his puppet
Time for skysports to celebrate

Says the socialist millionaire.
Great - I have no problem with Neville joining.the more the merrier, but is this really headline news! It’s a distraction from what is really going on. The ‘inquiry’ into partying in which the PM attend and then decides who takes responsibility is the issue at the moment.
GNev2 Always thought you ought to be in politics. Remember I asked you this when we met briefly at Turf Moor a few years back. You would do great!
Too many fortune cookies
You were doing so well until this GNev2
How is this news?
A business mind 🤔
I wonder why he waited until a red Tory leads the Party
Thoughtoftheday Motivation beliver BritishIndians There are far, far better things ahead than any we leave behind. Good morning and have a great day ahead. JAZZ MALHOTRA 🙏

1 rich landlord joins the party. Where’s the article on the 200k who have left and the internal chaos for remaining members?
He better be. Huyu uchambuzi na ukocha kashindwa
Property developer millionaire but represents the working class
Well imagine my shock ,he's more left wing than starmer 🤣
Joins? As in pays into as a member? Oh that'll boost votes.
Amazing working class lad does well in life makes a load of money from his job as a footballer invests his money doesn't piss it or snort it away remains loyal to his political beliefs and hey presto hes slagged off as if hes some sort of working class fraud because hes anti tory
👹
Seriously, is this News?
Another reason he is a national treasure. Fair play Gary.
Good
why is this newsWorthy😡
Andrew_Adonis Excellent. A very successful man with principles who has excelled in life yet not lost his concern for everyone else. Just like Starmer. Just like millions of other Labour supporters.
After destroying the football club by encouraging mediocrity and shielding British players and giving false feedback to them now he is ready to do the same to the city itself.
Can see him doing very well. Good luck to him
What a surprise 🖕🖕
The last year of bashing the conservatives was a pretty good indicator that he’s a lefty
Not very bright though
The man has made lots of money, yes but, his roots are his roots!
LJR1626 Yay 🎉🌹🤩🍾🥳
Wow what a scoop..pathetic, who cares what he says or does.
Does anyone care who joins labour when they already are loosers
He is from a working class background and he speaks his mind which is what i like about him. Best of luck to him I’d say.
About time he came out
So?
Knob
He’s been only after a knighthood 😝
So he does not join when Labour are in opposition from 2010 to 2019 and needed it, only now when they get a big lead. A glory hunter like most fans of his old club!
Good on him, people may disagree but he is doing what he believes and you have to commend that.
Hahaha
Sir Keir should watch out, Salford City had four managers last season
Well, anything that keeps him away from football punditry.
Superb news.
😂😂😂
Good stuff
😂😂😂😂😂 Are you saying he wasn’t a member already?!
They are welcome to him, although it does explain his regular one sided rants
Who knew!
So bloody what!!!! Who actually gives a shit
Welcome lovely to have you with us
GNev2

I never noticed Garry has a fanny on his head, atleast hes not acting like one
Good on yer, Gary!
Is it me - is this really news. Are bbc going now publish everyone who joins a party. The next will be someone leaving the conservatives. Absolute joke of a news channel.
Absolute melt
Should be able to find a safe seat in Manchester with all the nut jobs there that would vote for a pig if it had a red rosette.

Forgive him, he knows not what he does !
Another champagne socialist! 😵💫
Great, get the popcorn ready and ask him what a women is..

April fools early , surely 🙄
Why didn’t he join under Corbyn? What a melt.
Is it a slow news day?
Oh dear!
Is that really news. Could tell that from his tirades over years and attachment to Ferguson!
Perfect party for Neville
He tried to tell us he's not labour or Conservative!! All an agenda. Knew it.
Welcome GNev2 👊
RequestABet odds on future PM?
I hope his political observations make more sense than his football ones
Watch him now share his wealth and open up his overpriced hotels to shelter refugees
The thick and the politically unopinionated party! StarmerOut
Fabulous 🥂🍾
