    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    This was always going to be the issue for Johnson. The birthday one as a stand-alone breach might not have caused lasting damage. Others will do, especially this one if it’s ever proven that he knew about it in advance and the ‘Abba party’ in November. As mentioned, the whole lying to the House...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    That’s how I read it. Delaying the inevitable I think it’s a different though. I can’t see how this ultimately helps Johnson unless he avoids more fines. As I say, if anything the amendment might make more Tory MPs vote in favour of the motion or abstain. If it was a straight decision about an...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Unless I’m missing something, this situation is a bit weird. If youre whipping why amend the motion…unless you’re concerned that your own MPs will defy the whip and it will be voted through ? However, by amending the motion in this way does the government actually open up the likelihood of more...

    Championship 21/22

    This is what we’ve been up against (sent by a smug Luton mate !). I’ve not checked the accuracy of this by the way so no complaints… even if the numbers are slightly different I’d imagine it’s not far off.

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Haha, to be fair, if this was a one off I’d actually have some sympathy with that argument….I know many won’t. Unfortunately I don’t think it will be. The fines themselves aren’t necessarily the major issue for Johnson but his argument he didn’t lie to parliament about rules being broken falls...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Yeah, I’d be shocked if more assistance isn’t on the way, guessing in autumn when they know likely winter fuel situation I still think the easiest thing to do in the meantime is bring back the temp £20 UC uplift whilst inflation remains high

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    It’s how you want to present the stats though PVA. I look at the cumulative of the ‘Covid years’ together with projections as countries had waves at different times and therefore recoveries will happen at different times. For example Spain was still -5.7% after 2020 and 2021 so I would expect...

    Match Thread Bournemouth (H) Easter Monday

    None of us know what the income and expenditure is for this season (first championship season post Covid). You might be right, depends on the new contacts but there has also been millions of additional ticket revenue compared to last year. I have no issue with us living within our means (and...

    Match Thread Bournemouth (H) Easter Monday

    Yes, depending on any new big contracts being dished out I’m no fan of SISU but there’s no evidence from the last couple of years to suggest Robins wouldn’t receive a decent chunk of any transfer income to reinvest Let’s at least wait and see what happens before getting too downbeat

    Its combinations at the back. I think Hyam with JCS and McFadz alongside him has been good.

    That first half does kind of sum up the season. Dominated, played some great stuff, just not clinical enough in final third and the odd lapse of concentration at the back. Still got it in us to do something second half though.

    USSR invades Ukraine.

    What a mess, what are they doing ?!! Not sure if this will come true but bold prediction… ‘Which takes me back to my original prediction: the russian armed forces will be defeated in Ukraine and Putin will be removed from power’ The link to the Canadian Ukrainian is very interesting
