    Fiona Bruce

    My point was were they unhappy at her for what happened or what Twitter said happened. Anyway, it’s done, she’s gone

    Fiona Bruce

    I’d imagine they’ve had to put out that statement due to people contacting them. Probably many of whom hadn’t watched QT but seen on Twitter that Bruce was condoning/downplaying domestic violence…which she wasn’t. If they hadn’t Twitter would’ve probably have turned on the charity as well ...

    If you’re paying personally directly into a SIPP make sure you claim back tax if you’re a higher rate tax payer. I think usually the SIPP provider would recover basic rate element rebate of any monies you pay in but you usually have to claim back higher rate element yourself. Double check with...

    It’s had a massive impact on bond yields. US down 1% in three days (like the Truss days in reverse 😂). Ours/rest of Europe also dropped significantly. This is because the markets are now expecting central banks to not go as high (terminal rate) and even have to cut rates later in the year as...

    For any finance geeks out there, worth keeping an eye on what’s happening in US at the moment following the ‘failure’ of SVB. Already having a knock on affect on markets here. I guess this is what happens when you have non existent interest rates for years, continue to print tens/hundreds...

    Appreciate many won’t be fans of Liddle but this is an interesting take on the whole linekar/wider debates on social media, one which I agree with Amazing that it should take a crisp-seller to show us how social media has fried our intelligence...

    Match Thread ⚽️ Coventry City vs Hull City Match Thread - Saturday 11th Mar

    I think if Godden hadn’t scored he’d have been on. Maguire linked quite well when he came on to be fair. Howley was dead on his feet second half, he’ll come again though

    Match Thread ⚽️ Coventry City vs Hull City Match Thread - Saturday 11th Mar

    Spot on. You never know if we keep this little run going but injuries have killed us this season, not to mention pitch shambles Great first half today (what the fuck was Neil - CWR on about 🤷‍♂️😂), disjointed after their goal for 15 mins but then came again. Entertaining game Eccles was...

    Excellent half from Eccles. Dabo really good as well. Really good overall, great intensity/press, done everything other than score.

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    We’re going round in circules. But in answer to your question Id explain that Bruce was just trying to do a job as presenter albeit clumsily. I would also say she’s apologised for how her comment may have come across on ‘live’ tv and that she’s a long standing ambassador for Refuge so has...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Fair point but I’d argue it’s recorded live and she’s tried to put the other side across on the spur of the moment (badly). My point was people saying that Bruce said domestic violence is ok as it’s a one off is factually incorrect. Then people cutting clips to remove context of discussion is...

    I stopped watching QT years ago so can’t really comment. Dimbleby was far better though from the bits I have seen of her

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    As a presenter her job was to explain why the other woman called him a wife beater (bringing context). As he isn’t there to respond to this, it’s also her job to try to bring the other sides positions. Clumsey yes but she’s working on the hoof. They weren’t her words. She didn’t claim it was ok...

    I suppose it’s at least moved people on from panicking about only being able to buy four cucumbers at once at their local Asda

    Whoever booked Campbell will be on the same naughty step as linekar I think the whole things is getting a little bit comical though, we’ll have #prayforgary on peoples twitters next 😂 BBC have royally fucked this up though, there was no need for the suspension. Just reiterate that these are...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    JOB was talking about this earlier. I’d not seen QT but heard the clip and thought the reaction to Bruce was a bit OTT. All I heard was her trying to give context by quoting friends of Stanley Johnson as he wasn’t there to respond to the accusation himself. It’s what all presenters have to do in...
