Fully agree with your post but that bit just made me laugh 😂😂

The exact breakdown of Labour MPs in 2024 (bearing in mind I don’t even vote Labour but misinformation like that needs smashing into bits): - 44 from business, finance, investment and banking - 43 have had consultancy businesses or roles - 70 in communications, PR and lobbying (equally high for all the parties) - 21 from science, technology and engineering - 19 were lawyers/solicitors - 23 Healthcare (both NHS, private and charities). As with all parties, some are mainly career politicians and more unique to Labour given their funding model, 35 had worked for trade unions.

The only positive that can come out of the Balogun saga is that Infantino’s position is looking increasingly untenable.

I’d love to see Ossie emerge from his diet of X, Breitbart and Telegram to challenge Al Carns for example directly to tell him his special ops military service is fake https://www.facebook.com/JonathanBrashMP/posts/al-carns-served-for-24-years-in-the-royal-marines-and-uk-special-forces-rising-f/1634854658645401/ Especially as he seems to love Mr Bone Spurs draft dodger over the Atlantic.

I agree which is why a loan is best. I’m not sure he is re-joining anyway, Charles to Leeds seems some way off on the valuations, and he’d have to reduce his wages a lot even if West Ham subsidised. Brum or Wrexham is more likely from the perspective as their owners would pay a bigger chunk.

I’d broadly agree overall but JWP should be in much better shape than Theo and Lallana were. Theo was fine for a loan but shouldn’t have signed afterwards and Lallana was never going to be fit much.

Rumours late last week that Farage fears the Parliamentary enquiry on the crypto bung would lead to a by-election and that he might be too damaged to win it again. Could also be a case of Harry and his dodgy knee at QPR or the mythical Pompey fisherman shouting scummer through the kitchen window at Sandbanks to get out now of being an MP and those pesky constituents and colleagues needing some level of focus. To carry on the theme, NIgel also claims he can’t use computers.

Led to a case of ‘hair today, gone tomorrow’.

Another referee losing control at the end here. Neymar being a dick - but it doesn’t matter.

It does but that makes me look far more closely at what I’m picking up from the freezer compartment in the supermarket…

Haaland goal was coming

Is that the same as Basa?

Sounds good. Grilled or BBQ is the best of all. They used to do nice grilled fish at Rick Stein’s in Padstow before it became trendy. Chips were rank even then though which spoiled it somewhat.

Can’t agree with that absolutist approach which doesn’t take some exceptional element of case by case into account. On the whole I’d agree a very significant majority should be declined and not staying, and there are certain groups I have major reservations about eg some of the Kurdish groups as they seem very immersed in the smuggling trade. I think they need an astonishing reason to stay. We also need some give and take to keep numbers lower in the UK overall with partners such as France and Netherlands. What needs to change - rapidly - is bringing the IAAs tribunals system in and sidelining the judges, with fast-track appeals. Retrospective claims about the local police duffing them up or sudden coming out on appeal won’t cut it. Cut the legal aid down for the appeals. Let the activists fund it. In the particular case Aintforever was corresponding on, the Kurdish smuggler was under a false identity and wasn’t eligible for asylum as he’d already served a 5 year jail term in France. More than 12 months is automatically ineligible under UK law. We need a better resourced and incentivised Border Force and get them back into the international systems which flag the groups and individuals who play the system around Europe. Once captured, he can go out same day on the plane. No need for process or appeals. Good to see Mahmood playing hardball with Pakistan over the Rochdale monster. If nations won’t play ball over returns, then visa suspensions/trade sanctions are quite reasonable to use. She did the same on student visas with the likes of DR Congo.

Clearly not https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/articles/cewqq5q8v41o

More nationalist/referendum/SNP allegations https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/ce955jp3jz9o Trying to argue that Yes Scotland was a separate entity is akin to Lowe’s argument about SFC and SLH, or Vote Leave and Leave.EU

Looking good, Vince regained some form and Weatherley clearly happier in white ball where less movement so white ball contract probably suits everyone next year. Great comebacks with the ball by Baker and Currie, Billings as you say removed by Currie probably tilted the chase our way but Fuller removing Muyeye after getting to 50 off 30 balls equally crucial.

Youngs Gastro range is good, these came into stock recently and enjoyed them https://www.birdseye.co.uk/range/frozen-fish/captains-discoveries/2-lightly-dusted-fish-fillets-rosemary-and-seasalt

The trick with Copenhagen is to make it a two city/nation stop and hop over the superb Oresund Bridge to Malmo. Or get a ferry (takes longer).

He would be probably be the alternative 10 Dragan referred to as a priority to take the load off Azaz, as one of many options I’m sure. Pompey Pravda covering the story now as well as their scorching three incomings https://www.portsmouth.co.uk/sport/football/portsmouth-fc/portsmouth-fc-news-championship-transfer-latest-southampton-alfie-devine-preston-spurs-west-ham-everton-dwight-mcneil-8778841

This was horrendously bad. Ings disallowed goal is probably the norm now but the Cash handball caused outrage on here at the time and a lot of press coverage scrutinising PGMOL (not that it made a shred of difference as ever). Still, someone’s accumulator bet was probably protected at Stockley Park, that’s the main thing.

Sort of signing we should be after although he might need a good pre-season to work off all of the complimentary carbs at PNE….

Yep, that’s what we do as well at the Brewhouse Quarter cinema in Cheltenham.
