If labour have 300 seats and greens have 40 and the alternative is a reform/tory minority coalition with 310 seats.... I'd be surprised if that doesn't equal a labour/green coalition. Maybe an unlikely set of circumstances, but not impossible.

This is it in a nutshell Paul. Farby was easing his way towards retirement, part time, reduced salary with us. Bam in comes what has to have been a significant financial offer that Sussex couldnt compete with and is enough to tempt him into a big job a long way from home. We wont survive much longer
Screenshot of part of Pauls article, focusing on the harm to Sussex.

Aye, what will be will be though, we'll survive. As long as we can figure out how to monetise Hove in August without cricket...

Nick, help a suffering Sussex fan out, is a Director of Cricket an essential role, we havent had one for the last four years, is that because Farby was kinda already doing it or is it a bit of a nice to have? Is this is an opportunity for Sussex to save money?

Forgot Ibrahim and Hunt, plus now we can add in Dudgeon, and probably Jaydev for the backend of the season. Still very short of batting.

100% clearly fuck ups and bad luck at the governance level have been a big part of the reason for our situation, but the single biggest factor is that 7 home T20s in the school holidays = sell outs = financially viable. Hundred pushes blast into June = home t20s half empty = financially fucked.😭🤬

I'm pretty sure Farby is keen that we have the squad all nailed down by the start of winter training so the squad can settle for training. If that is it, my champ starting XI is: Haines (c), Clark, Tear, Coles, Carter (wk), Leaning, T Price, Evision, Carson, Robinson, Goodman.

🤣 doh, *remember to proof read your blueskys Jim!* Yeah so disappointing, but I do wonder if in the long term it will be positive for the county game as it has been a MASSIVE shot across the bows of all non test counties and with the revenue dropping in 2 years. Everyone knows the consequences.

I make it: Briggs, Everson, T Price, Goodman, Carter, Tear, Robinson, Clark, Haines, Leaning, Archer, Coles, Carson, F Price, Mills and....is that it? Maybe Jaydev if we're allowed, plus some academy lads... not much batting.

England is a made up thing. It has no basis in the ineluctable laws of nature. Its extent is defined by Edward II getting his arse handed to him. Athelstan conquering York. The Welsh of Cumbria were incorporated, the Welsh of Gwynedd were not. It is a political idea, an aspiration - not taxonomy.

Trans people should not have to plan their day around where they might be challenged.
They should not have to make themselves invisible to participate in public life.
Trans people should be able to live freely, safely, and with dignity.

But why on earth havent you and your party stopped this level of donation from buying our democracy, you've had two bloody years and it was so obviously coming?

Unlimited donations from unaccountable sources are a threat to democratic integrity. We're calling on the Government to introduce emergency legislation to cap political donations. Last week we raised this in the Commons. This week we've chased the minister again, because this cannot wait.

Parliament has voted against the Assisted Dying Bill. I am so disappointed for campaigners who have advocated for something allowing choice, dignity and peace at the end of life. I shall continue to work with campaigners and MPs across the house to ensure the best end of life care.
