Lovely save Baz!

And then a stupid foul to get himself a yellow.

Ha! Great timing! Get in Che!

Bournemouth looking the better side it has to be said.

Arma held onto that far too long. Terrible giveaway by JWP.

Now the chief whip has resigned.

So basically the same as against WH then. And that worked so well didn't it, so why not 🤦

Grant Schapps will be today's Home Secretary then.

Entirely possible.

Here us her resignation letter that she absolutely, definitely, cross her heart and hope to die truthfully drafted herself.

Liz gone by the weekend?

Don't think there is even a hint of doubt about that. Patel was awful in every way imaginable, but I don't remember her ever stooping so low as to use such pathetic, childish language against critics of her extreme policies. Good bloody riddance.

I think the far more obvious explanation is that we tried really hard behind the scenes to sign a striker and were confident of at least one of our attempted deals coming off, but ultimately none of our targets wanted to come and by the last day of the window we were left high and dry without a suitable backup option. There is no chance - zero - that anyone at the club with the power to make that decision looked at our options in the last week of August and said "nah they're fine, we don't need to sign anyone else".

Ah, seeing him on Strictly Come Dancing all makes total sense now!

I can't imagine why.... https://www.spectator.co.uk/article/braverman-s-brush-with-the-law

Every time she speaks she demonstrates what a truly despicable twat of a woman she is.

Tell me about it. I work for an 'arms-length' government body. We've already had our overall budget cut to the bone since the beginning of Tory austerity. We've had below-inflation pay rises for so long now that the real terms pay cut has really bitten, and this year's pay award is derisory in the grand scheme of things. We've been haemorrhaging good staff and their expertise left, right and centre because the overall pay and conditions package is now so poor compared to what skilled people can earn in the private sector - I heard recently that in my division alone only 29% of staff have more than a year's experience. The staff turnover has got so bad that we struggle to fill vacancies and the management teams are locked in a never-ending cycle of mass recruitment which takes them away from other work streams, and by the time we have completed a round of recruitment and got them all through initial training, so many people have already left that we're back to square 1 again almost immediately. The pressure this is putting on the rest of us to fill the void and deliver on our commitments is immense and is really taking its toll on staff morale. I've never known it to be so bad as it is right now. If the gov try and impose yet more cuts to budget and personnel on top of all this, I really don't see how we will even be able to fulfil our basic functions.

You could still choose not to respond though. Turks' obsession with you is admittedly very weird, but you're not entirely blameless. I learned a long time ago the best way to deal with his wholly transparent attempts at baiting is to not take the bait. Every time you do, you feed his obsession even more.

And she made such a big thing about having attended a comprehensive school as well.

Feels like it should be accompanied by the Benny Hill music.

Ok, just to clarify - yes of course it's no laughing matter and millions of people, myself included, are going to suffer more hardship as a result of her total failure to anticipate the effect of her deranged plans. As a public sector employee, I took no pleasure in hearing JH state in no uncertain terms yesterday that there will be more budget cuts, because Christ knows we've suffered enough of them already in my organisation. So of course I don't want to see her given another 2 years (Well, year and a half in reality, because the 2019 election was only held in December for the purposes of Brexit - the 2024 one won't be) to wreak more carnage on society and the economy. But let's face it, she hasn't got a hope in hell of lasting that long. However, if there were to be a GE called tomorrow, I would love for Truss to stick it out and lead her band of criminally corrupt, self-interested shysters into political oblivion. Watching her get utterly destroyed in TV debates (if she could find the courage to turn up for them) would be extremely gratifying.

I sincerely hope she does...

Oh for crying out fucking loud... Would you lot please just do us all a massive favour and put each other on ignore instead of infesting yet another thread with your incessant childish bullshit?
