And this is where my ‘wealth tax’ thinking comes from really. I don’t know how much additional tax revenue is raised by taking the personal allowances of additional rate taxpayers. Could that hole be plugged by a fairly minor ‘wealth tax’ in some capacity, whilst enabling the high-earners to...

I’ve said before but I do find the idea of a wealth tax, coupled maybe with a reduction to the additional rate of income tax, intriguing. Fully appreciate that mechanically it would be extremely challenging to implement and there’s obvious risk (as cited in the link you’ve put up) of capital flight.

I’ll be honest, I feel for him slightly. Seems to have a reasonable coaching pedigree but that Leicester squad in the PL was genuinely embarrassing.

Heading up to Sheffield next weekend for a stag do. £60 on the train per head or maybe £20-£30 between 3 of us to drive. Mad.

Happened v Hull in 23/24 didn’t it?

I bet I’ve met more councillors than you have cows.

I always feel like using “super” makes people sound like they have an awful grasp of the English language.

17 hours? Pah. Back in my day you worked 26 hour days with no weekend.

Blue Peter.

Who is Leicester’s first game against?

The clearest indicator for me was the first half hour vs Cardiff (Lampard’s first game). High energy, high pressing, win the ball back as far up the pitch as possible. Unfortunately for him all of our players were fucked after that half hour.

Just get those dispensers that fill from the bottom upwards. It’s not even new technology any more.

The good news if it helps: the ‘running cost’ for the first 6 months or so is cheap as chips.

Basically no chance but Ainsley Maitland-Niles would be a very interesting pickup.

The latest from Reform: public petitions if they feel prison sentences are too harsh or too lenient. Only require 500 signatures. Absolute ‘pants on your head’ stupid. Also raises the question as to whether that is an efficient use of public resources.

If we were reshaping the midfield unit and both Sheaf and Eccles were moving on then I’d be in favour. Realistically though I doubt we’re being that drastic. Although theoretically c£8-10m combined for Sheaf/Eccles to spend maybe £2-3m on Travis would be interesting.

The only amendment I’d make to that is the final point. There’s still plenty for Reform to go after as it stands because there seems to be comparatively little scrutiny over their ‘policy agenda’. Equally, Labour will need to take control of the narrative at some point to retain their voters.

Thought this was the case initially but I think he’ll still be here when the season starts. No reason why the move couldn’t have happened already if there was someone lined up.

And if Piers Morgan hadn’t called him a chicken on Question Time he may well not be an MP right now.

“And the people will get £600 and they will be grateful.” It’s genuinely hilarious.
