The initial comments were bad enough but then claiming he hadn't said it rather than apologise just made it worse. Then to top it all Andrew Bridgen has been on the radio doing everything he can to make it worse!
Got to say they are far worse than I thought they'd be. Was preparing myself for the disappointment of them being quite good with the CVC deal.
Think its safe to say now with some certainty the Ricoh move is a failure for them. Of course that doesn't mean they're likely to disappear elsewhere...
They do what they want because they know they can get away with it. The people who go to watch them don't care what collateral damage there is and the Telegraph and CWR seem terrified of questioning them.
There's nothing wrong with zero hours contracts as a concept but as with everything its been massively abused so now its toxic. I've worked jobs with no hours guaranteed but the difference back then was 99% of the time there was as many hours as you wanted there for the taking. You weren't...
They're digging themselves into a deeper and deeper hole out of an absolute refusal to admit their might be a problem with the system.
Everyone could see the red was wrong yet they released a statement defending it and have now overturned it. Complete and utter shambles.
What is the point of that. Would be amazed if he’s ever heard of her. Do they expect him to personally vet every candidate?
Lets be honest if we’re going to trawl through every tweet and post ever made by every candidate we’ll run out of people on all sides.

Sure we'll have something revealed in the next few weeks.
Its certainly good for NHL ice hockey, no idea how reliable it is for CCFC stories! Of course there's a huge gulf between him being interested in buying another club and mentioning us, which could be true, and SISU being prepared to sell to him.
Someone messed up the bots at the end of last week and there was a ton of Johnson supporting tweets with the variable names left in rather than the intended content.
Is it just me or does it seem a bit off for the Telegraph to take a story from a paywalled site like The Athletic and run it themselves with nothing new to add?
I'd never even heard of the books let alone read them but thought it was brilliant. Best thing on the BBC in ages. Wasn't surprised to see a lot of the people involved on the BBC side were also involved in the Eccleston and Tennant years of Doctor Who.
Didn't have an issue with the series...
