NEW: Today I co-published a report with think tanks from across the political spectrum. We disagree on many issues, but share common ground on the basics of UK tax reform.

Our tax system is riddled with loopholes and irrationalities, holding back growth. This means that..(1/3)

Burn at LB, no. Just until Hall is ready to play a full game. Then comes the selection headache of which 2 CB do you pick, because they are all playing well.

Human wotsit clearly hasn't had his meds again.

Or maybe he has, and has been subjected to another round of hypno-indoctrination by his handler.

And having watched his first interview, he has tried to, so credit where its due.

Ultimately @georgecaulkin.bsky.social , the club leadership reached a point where a decision had to be made. We may not agree with it, but at least they made it.

But i agree that the board now need to get the executive appointments made and get back on track.

That post, and the club's press release, encapsulate how i feel, Ice cold about Alex!

Never thought I'd be saying that after what happened in March at Wembley.

You were idolised and adored by every generation of our brilliant fan base, legendary status.

You have shown your true colours and thrown it right back in the face of those same supporters.

Good riddance.

Welcome Yoane. Now do the right thing and apologise to Brentford for your conduct, and show your gratitude to them for the opportunity they have given you. That will help show you have might have the character we all hope you do, unlike the player who has just left.

My thoughts exactly, just crawled over the club shop to check if it was available yet!

Anyone else think we could have the second coming of Rudi Voller in Woltemade, or is that too much pressure on the kid? #nufc

The flag is an inanimate object, it is people who turn it into a symbol and give it meaning.

This bunch of racist wank puffins hoisting it on every lamppost totally intend for it to be a symbol of their divisive beliefs.

They aren't opinions, because those change when facts do, its dogma!

All this crap about operation 'raise the colours' just reminds me of this episode of Sharpe. These flag waving wankpuffins are just like Sir Henry Simmerson, and would have lost the King's colours by being cowards, and then lied about it to save face! Damn Disgrace, The lot of you!

Alexander Isak’s statement has set fire to Newcastle – drawing fury but little sign of success Isak's public demand to leave might just have made things worse for everybody, including himself

Alexander Isak might just have made things worse for everybody. Because more than ever, more than before, Newcastle United insist he is going nowhere. And where would that leave him, aside from alone?

@georgecaulkin.bsky.social on Isak publicly demanding to leave Newcastle — and the club saying no.

Thing is even if you are right, you can't bet your last dollar that PIF will lawyer up and persue Isak and any club that signs him through every means available. This will not end well for anyone, and it will not end quickly, but PIF will not take well to being embarrassed on this scale!

Anyone feel that Paul Mitchell and, to a lesser extent, Darren Eales, have a role in this that isn't being looked at?

And what involvement has our minority owner Jamie Reuben had?

Its all gone belly up behind the scenes since Staveley was pushed out!

New manager, same outcome. Spurs can play as well as they like against the very best teams, they are still capable of being 'Spursy'.

Other than swapping blame for accountability, i agree. And that rests with chairman.

(Locks doors and checks for saudi death squad!!!)

Yes, but in the short, medium and long term. Without the ground expansion and increased revenue, we are totally dependant on the overperformance of the existing squad. The likes of man u can afford to make mistakes in the market, overpay players to secure them, then do it again. We can't!

Questions have to be asked of the executive team and the chairman/board at nufc. The cup final win/ champions league has covered up a stagnation in the project, with delays on infrastructure projects, a lack of leadership and a failure of transfer strategy and execution.

Would feel like, and look like to the rest of the league like, we had been played and used by PIF for their own ambitions.

They'd be right and we couldn't really complain about it either!

As close to a catch 22 as you are getting.

No good options, pick the least worst one!

Yeah, but do you trust the same people who said asm was only worth 25m when others were going for twice that to Saudi.

Indeed, if he goes there, then current uefa rules mean we can book nothing, and pl rules would subject it to a fair market value test.

Newcastle working on deal worth around €75million for Eintracht Frankfurt’s Hugo Ekitike While an agreement is not yet close, talks between the clubs are ongoing.

🚨 Newcastle United are working on a deal worth around €75million to sign Eintracht Frankfurt forward Hugo Ekitike.

Suppose it depends how much they get for nunez, and how quickly they get coloensation for Jota's contract from their insurers. I could see a world where £150m up front gets him, but then again, money doesn't score goals!

By come in heavy, you mean offering £300m as a minimum, just to start talks! Otherwise, no deal, keep on walking!

Reform UK's Councillor Barry Elliott of #Blyth, Northumberland is keen to lecture on the use of taxpayers money.

It would be good if you could pay your taxes, Barry...

The CPS also think she said no Thomas!

@parky10000.bsky.social enjoy it mate.

Can't say I'll be voting for Labour anytime soon, now they've started employing speech writers who rip off Enoch Powell!

Why does Nigel Farage want me to lose my job?
