A classic of the "we deserve better" genre.

Jaz is the only one who can stop Harry. But Mollie simply isn't going to have it.

I think he'd have come clean as a Faithful, had they banished him before he was recruited. I did wonder if he'd add in something along the lines of "but I didn't kill her". I'm sure that at least some of them will have twigged, though. But suspicion seems to be in the wrong place unless Harry manages to chuck Andrew under the bus.

I still don't know how Harry got away with that bullshit shield story he spun. Hiding it from everyone ought to he very suspicious at this stage of the game.

I saw that Mrs Johnson's pal (ex) Harry Cole was excitedly tweeting that a 'senior party figure' was going to go public against Rishi Sunak. Turns out it was Simon Clarke, a Johnson loyalist whose only senior position was short-lived under Liz Truss. Boris Johnson game him a knighthood for his troubles. This is Simon. He's 6ft7. I don't think I've ever seen someone of that height look less intimidating.

It should have consequences for public officials, elected or otherwise, who are shown to have acted incompetently or to have lied. Unfortunately, quite a few of the elected ones have already fucked off and I doubt the likes of Leitch are going to be fired no matter how badly exposed they are.

No more dining out on big beefy flavour.

There is definitely a player there - Hibs paid us £100k for him and that doesn't happen by accident. However, his loan spells don't appear to be yielding very much and he's going to be fortunate if he gets a club offering him a FT contract upon his inevitable departure from Hibs if he doesn't get his act together. McGlynn knows him well so should be best placed to do that.

I'm actually pretty annoyed with that; it was a winnable tie and despite having the lead, we are out. We have a fairly serious problem with seeing leads out at the moment- in the recent games we've taken the lead against Livi, QP, Dunfermline, Arbroath & Ayr, but have only managed to win one of those matches. It is all good and well Murray saying we deserved to win, but seeing out a lead is the single most fundamental aspect of winning a match. We need to improve on that. Chucking the towel in on the entire season is daftness and hopefully those looking at it that way have calmed down now.

I'm starting to get quite annoyed with us taking the lead and losing it, if I'm honest.

I remembered seeing this a couple of weeks ago: A seriously unwell person.

Depends what you mean here. If an avoidance scheme fails, the people that bought into it end up having to pay the tax that they avoided, possibly with a penalty on top of it as well. So the tax is then payable- this presents some challenges as the vast majority cannot afford to do so. The taxpayer remains responsible for the payment, not the agent (or whatever they describe themselves as) that sold the scheme. The effect is that the tax is then due and so HMRC gets its money, notwithstanding that collecting it from some might be challenging because they can't afford it. The people selling these schemes, who are of course smarter than accountants and mainstream tax advisers, and spotted a gap that these so-called experts did not, usually then f**k off the moment that their scheme is challenged and they lose. Which is just about always, because contrived schemes that abuse available tax reliefs with no economic justification will just about always fail since 2010. Anyway, these guys disappear and left behind are the people that paid them a nice fee for their "Fully insured, QC/KC approved structure", who now have a very large tax bill to pay. To get the insurance payout you were promised, you have to sue the provider and win. But they have dissolved, and the man behind it lives on the Isle of Man, or in Malta or somewhere. You've had it. The part needing changed is liability for promoters that swll dodgy/fraudulent schemes. As it is, there is no barrier ti them offering these schemes. If they were prosecuted for doing so, it might deter them. Secondly, anyone in the UK can act as a tax advisor. This needs to change as well, to weed out shysters like Barrowman. Depends on whether they run out of money before the sell it tbh.

Andrew is lucky that no-one clocked his face after Paul was sent out. He looked like he'd just watched a dog shiting all over his new carpet. All whilst everyone else celebrated. A very bad pick - he's not into ot at all and he immediately knew Paul would sacrifice him the moment he needed to. I reckon Zak is going out. He can't be tied to Paul and he's a threat.

There are a couple of them that have figured Paul out. They won't get the support of some of the others and are playing the long game, but Paul's card is now marked and he has to play a fine line between killing people that'll banish him in the final and trying not to have them with him if he makes it. It continues to be unbelievable that people buy his nonsense, especially the victim playing at Miles trying to get him out. Harry's challenge is to try and not come across as guilty when he's snaking Paul and trying to turn the rest against him.

Several government departments are beholden to Fujitsu, so good luck getting them punted unfortunately. This is, of course, the fault of the Government for awarding the contracts that they did and creating such a situation. Interesting article on previous efforts to ditch Fujitsu and how it failed - https://www.ft.com/content/0b5c9a75-72e7-45bc-a202-7172d35e9f54 Moving away from Fujitsu's incompetence for one moment, this scandal is entirely on the Post Office. They knew the system had flaws, they ignored this and prosecuted hundreds of people regardless.

Take a look at the amount of goals we have conceded from outside the box recently. It isn't just the defence that's the problem - it's too much space being afforded.

Digitalisation makes everyone's life easier. A cost/benefit analysis said so.

I enjoyed Mone's response. Didn't put forward any rebuttal of Dan Neidle's analysis, and highlighted that the person writing about her and her husband's tax affairs is the former Head of Tax at a large law firm. So, no disagreement and you're saying the man knows what he's talking about. Well done, 'Baroness'. Bet Prince Andrew is pleased. Maybe some of the textbooks 10-15 years from now will use Mone as the case study example of dreadful PR management instead of him.

A good result pending for Man Utd before another follically-challenged fraudulent, defeat in the next fixture. #Narrative

This needs to be tempered against the number of very late goals that have won us points. We can't take the good as a given and the bad as something more sinister. I agree that the recent home form is worrying, but we can't just look at them in isolation.

I know Dundee United have a game in hand, but we are still level on points. Our form has not been good recently, but some perspective please.

No idea why a goalkeeper that did nothing wrong today is worthy of such a shout.

Well, that was shite. Early goal, had some chances, then came the equaliser. After that we were just flattened. No idea what to do and no sense of control. Ferrie had a couple of good saves, but we make it difficult for ourselves with the amount of goals we concede. Not a good week.

Rubbish from Easton. Desperate.
