This feels like it could be a very big deal. And one would assume HMRC's investigatory powers, which are pretty significant, could reveal further instances of similar behaviour.

I realise you guys all lapped it up, and it was good to see a statesperson show true emotional engagement, but, honestly, ”My dad, who lived in Liverpool, was a good man who believed in opportunity for all and voted Labour so England has to own Scotland” is a fucking dreadful argument.

"The purpose of these schemes was found to have been to artificially inflate the club’s revenues, and reduce its costs, by more than £900 million." That is an absolutely massive sporting fraud. www.premierleague.com/en/news/4727...

It's behind a paywall, so sharing here: #ncfc will have a book of condolence in the Lion and Castle from Midday on Tuesday. From the Evening News:
The book will be available from midday on Tuesday, September 29.

In accordance with the wishes of Wynn Jones' family, the pub will also serve drinks to raise money for St Elizabeth Hospice.

The Lion & Castle will stay open for the rest of the week to allow fans time to pay their respects and write in the book.

The pub's opening hours will be Tuesday (midday-9pm), Wednesday (9am-9pm), Thursday (9am-9pm), and Friday (9am-midday).

On Saturday and Sunday (9am-5pm), the book will be available in the South Stand reception area.

Supporters will not be charged for parking at the stadium.

The stupidest suggestion in Britain right now is that Reform supporters are also the country's best critical thinkers. No, they make their first observation their conclusion. Genuine critical thinkers make the same first observation but they then delve several layers deeper in search of truth.

There is IMO something absolutely spot on about the British ruling class not at all recognising that smashing up the state to sell it for scrap and cocaine might be a problem, until it started to somewhat impede their ability to wage a really serious war.
I've spent a few weeks asking people if Britain is prepared for war, among other doom scenarios. The short answer is no and the condensed reason for why that happened is that we spent the last forty years stripping off and selling the most resilient systems in the country for parts.

It is four years today since Kwasi Kwarteng stood up to unveil his “mini-budget”. The fiscal package – representing the flagship economic policy of the new prime minister, Liz Truss – sent her government into a tailspin and precipitated its collapse after just 49 days.
