Man City had the right to match our offer (from when they sold Trafford to Burnley). They exercised that right and he was obliged to go there. Don't think this one is down to wages.

Yoane Wissa apparently according to Ornstein.

Loved writing this about a remarkable man - Paul Ferris #nufc

List of loads of businesses who are all for the UK/EU reset deal and a list of three people who are against it (Badenoch, Farage and Swinney)

Plenty of people & businesses who are all for the UK/EU reset deal.

Maybe if Badenoch & Farage took time to talk to these businesses they might learn something, oh wait it doesn’t benefit their millionaire mates so they won’t!

24m ago 16.10 BST Trade body for Scottish salmon industry hails EU deal as 'breakthrough' Severin Carrell Severin Carrell Severin Carrell is the Guardian’s Scotland editor. Salmon Scotland, the trade body which represents the fish farms behind the UK’s largest food export, said the EU trade deal would “slash red tape” and cut export costs. The organisation estimates that post-Brexit food export rules cost exporters around £3m a year, with France the sector’s biggest customer. The sector sold £844m worth of farmed salmon overseas last year, with £462m sent to France alone. Tavish Scott, the chief executive of Salmon Scotland and former leader of the Scottish Liberal Democrats, is at a reception to celebrate the deal in London later. He said: We congratulate the UK government on securing this deal with the EU, which will slash red tape and speed up the delivery of our premium salmon to market. This breakthrough eases the burden on our farmers, processors and the communities they support, and we welcome efforts to implement it at pace. The withdrawal of physical checks is particularly welcome. It means lower costs and quicker deliveries for our customers.

Meat industry welcomes deal, saying Labour has achieved 'what previous government promised originally but didn't deliver' The British Meat Processors Association has issued a statement strongly welcoming the deal with the EU. It says that, making access to the EU market easier for meat exporters, Keir Starmer has “managed to achieve what the previous government promised us originally but didn’t deliver”. The association has also dismissed claims that the deal will mean the UK being a “rule taker” because it will aligned with the EU on sanitary and phytosanitary (SPS) rules. It says: A common misunderstanding is that an SPS agreement will mean Britain becomes a ‘rule taker’. In reality, we must comply with the rules of any of our trading partners if we want to export to them – just like America must comply with British rules if they want to send us their products. This means we have been aligned with EU rules and standards all along. The difference this new deal will make is that Britain, unlike their other third country trading partners, will benefit from true, un-fettered access to their market and massively reduced trade friction. It will boost trade and make us more competitive. Under the existing arrangement we have had to produce a mountain of paperwork to prove we comply, costing business a fortune but with no added value. This extra cost had to be absorbed somewhere in the supply chain, either through lower margins or higher prices, driving food price inflation and rendering UK businesses less competitive.

Boris Johnson’s got the golden ticket Nigel Farage and other British right wingers didn’t get – he’s on the rotunda at the inauguration.

…is it thanks to his new best mate Elon?

Think the cost of the signing would be £5m in the books this year (as we are half way through) so makes it even more puzzling.

V good piece.

No.

Not a single Reform MP has bothered to turn up to today's House of Commons debate on tackling violence against women and girls

It was one match in the Premier league ( for 5 yellows). This is separate, for 2 yellows in the League Cup

Brilliant

The Far Corner by Harry Pearson is superb and the follow up the Farther Corner is great too. They are about football in the North East and include all the local teams.

So far none of this changes the conclusion of my earlier thread - very few people will be affected, and it's something they should be able to manage.
