    Jonathon Gullis promotion - now Tory Deputy Chairman replacing the defector Lee Anderson. When I first heard, thought it a joke, but seems not.

    Certainly not. Ironically, that’s the same amount the nation’s grocery shoppers have already paid in Brexit costs. When full trade barriers finally go up by the end of this year, that figure should rise significantly. Unless they delay the purist’s Brexit for the 6th time and counting ! 😂

    Those ‘millions of Europeans’ were net contributors to the UK coffers, that’s a fact. Generally fitter, younger and much healthier than the economically unproductive ‘hundreds of thousands of Brits’ washed up on the Costas back then.

    How could he notice from his rural finca or is it urb villa ?! :) Cannock will remember NHS dentists from the good old days, nowadays rarer than hen’s teeth.

    When Was Your First City Match and Who was Your First Idol?

    Flecky’s reaction to the chant - smiling broadly and rubbing his tum - won over the Cowshed - until his goal !

    Bingo. People in those countries also believe paying tax is a patriotic duty, and have no desire to avoid it.

    Why give pre-election ammo to the Tories and their client media - keep the powder dry while polling allows it. SKS championed the underdog long before he became a politician, no reason to doubt he will again.

    Not totally - Brexit caused around a third of UK food price inflation. Border costs have added some £7 billion to grocery bills that wouldn’t have arisen inside the single market.

    You say Ukraine kicked off the cost of living crisis, I’m saying increased food costs compound that crisis.

    Don't agree, full EU import border checks have been delayed 5 times, to the UK's disadvantage. Brexit proper STILL hasn't happened despite your 'healthy majority'. You'd have thought Brexit would mitigate the damage of Covid and Ukraine, but no, by any measure it's compounded it. That's why I...

    You don't feel like conceding I suppose that Brexit should be added to your government's list of woes, in the self-inflicted section ? Thought not. :D

    A liar ? How come ? Plans for repealing the Trades Union Act are still going ahead AFAIK, as is the New Deal for Workers.

    Ollie Watkins

    Ollie stayed in his shell, largely anonymous. Doesn’t help that Southgate’s tactic of aiming for Maguire at the far post bypasses him.
