    Old news probably but Callum released by Newcastle official

    I'd be happy on a pay as you play basis but I really can't see it happening.

    Wright

    Any defender who is chasing him will never catch up because he will be in the “dirty air” turbulence behind Haji’s hairdo. I’m hoping they don’t allow DRS in the Championship 🙂

    Transfer Rumour 25/26 Summer Transfer Window

    As I said in my post, I only think it’s worth a try if we have no options other than Simms, BTA and Bassette as none of them seem to have the knack of putting it in the net at the moment. We will never know unless we try it. Hopefully we will get another striker in and Haji and/or at least one...

    Transfer Rumour 25/26 Summer Transfer Window

    I'm happy to give Wright a run as CF with EMC on the left. I have often wondered if EMC could play as CF, given that little purple scoring patch he had. It's probably not his best position but I would be prepared to give it a go if (a) we don't get another striker in (though I'm sure we will)...

    Transfer Rumour 25/26 Summer Transfer Window

    I wonder if he does or whether it's just that he saw him as our best option at CF given that Simms, BTA and Bassette weren't exactly banging the goals in for fun and (when fit) EMC is a good option at LW.

    I subscribe to the Telegraph and the Guardian in order to get a balanced perspective on things. 👍

    Tax turnover and you will be taxing genuine loss-making companies. As a retired tax lawyer I am well aware of some of the wheezes used to massage profits. HMRC need to get some top brains on board and stamp it out to a greater degree than they presently seem capable of.

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    10,000 millionaires left the country last year and 16,500 are predicted to do so this year. It's what you would expect and what has happened in the past. It's why Polly Toynbee has suggested an exit tax to force people to stay, which is a despicable approach. Reeves is apparently thinking of...

    So you would tax loss-making companies? That runs the risk of denying them the opportunity of recovering and driving them into insolvency.

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    It's not that easy. International conglomerates use transfer pricing and intellectual property licensing arrangements to ensure that significant chunks of their profits are booked in low tax jurisdiction. The classic example is the large US corporations that shift profits to Ireland, where they...

    The incomes of the self-employed and small businesses are expected to rise less than previously expected because of the changes - principally National Insurance and minimum wage - made in the Budget. The shortfall is against the previous forecast.

    Figures revised downwards by the OBR in March and other forecasters are even more pessimistic.

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Absolutely. This has been a problem with every Labour government that I can remember, going back to Harold Wilson in the 1960s. They calculate the likely revenue from new or increased taxes on the assumption that there is no change in the behaviour of the affected taxpayers. What usually...
