    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Good news that it looks like a deal might be done for nurses and paramedics. Hopefully a sensible solution can be found for other public sector workers. Looks like there might be a bit more wriggle room available at least

    The official NFL Thread

    Many suggesting that if he’d had an agent a couple of years ago he’d already have earned 30-40m more already (can make that 50-60m left on table if he plays under franchise tag this year) . Listening to various commentators highlighting this and things like the endorsements he missed out on post...

    Let’s be honest the bbc is/has become just another political football. Left saying it’s too right, right saying it’s too left 🤷‍♂️. Both trying to apply pressure via social media to get it to lean more their way

    The Lamar Jackson situation is the most fascinating for me. Bizarre

    Match Thread ⚽️ Wigan Athletic vs Coventry City Match Thread - Tuesday 14th Mar

    Should’ve won but saying that Wigan were better side first half. Always been a fan of Godden but he was out on his feet last ten so why the fuck was Walker not given some minutes ?! Robins hasn’t got much wrong this season but that was bizarre and might’ve cost us all three points tonight

    Saw last night that Panthers traded up to 1. Bears walked away with two firsts (2023 9th so still decent), two seconds and DJ Moore (WR). Not bad especially as they didn’t need a QB anyway. Also as they really shouldn’t have been in first pick…that freak late Texans win has done them a massive...

    Liddle was talking about people in their own social media echo chambers all having the same views on the same subjects. I was just saying worlds gone mad but depends on which side of fence you sit, because if you’re in the Linekar was hard done by/Bruce should get sacked camp then you probably...

    Read the independent article. Also the one off was her commenting friends of Johnson’s, not her own. She was responding to someone calling him a wife beater, suggesting it’s regular - which it sounds like it was - but he’s not there to suggest otherwise so she had to provide that balance which...

    But that’s my point Clint, she’s taken it as Bruce said those words. Did she know Bruce was an ambassador for Refuge for 25 years and campaigned against domestic violence, I doubt it It’s like if a person tweeted that Linekar should visit a concentration camp for comparing government migrant...

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

    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...
