Admittedly, I'm out of the loop on posh people's child names, but Harry and.... Barry?!

Ratcliffe is sat in his study making notes right now.

Their political history has been the only thing keeping them alive for about the last decade! Their reputation as a safe pair of hands and being economically astute probably lasted until 2022/3, despite not being the case since the great dismantling of the Osborne era.

Unpopular opinion no doubt, but next year Harrison will be one of the few players we have who have significant experience of playing in the Prem, and we should look to keep him... as long as his mum says it's OK...

In other words, it looks unlikely that we will be signing any players before 1/7. #lufc

Great going forward, sometimes iffy defensively... I think he'd suit the way we play now, but if Farke changes the FB role to adapt to a tougher season in the PL, then maybe not so much.

I'd take Leif Davis back if the price was right - I assume when we sold him we negotiated a decent sell-on clause, so we'd get a discount on him.

I think they already tried that against Luton....

Good hands, terrible feet. Turned over possession every time he booted it long, but really solid on crosses.

Incredible that the richest man in the world with power and privilege to match, absolutely radiates pathetic loser vibes.

That's the reason I absolutely refuse to click through to any of his articles.

Is it a scoop when the story has been given to you on plate?!

I mean, they probably would step in - for a price.

P/E ratio is still 130 on a company that's no longer growing - it should have a looong way to go yet...

The curse of the modern politician, who thinks that the purpose of being elected is to get elected again. Doomed to look at everything through optics, rather than how will this improve lives.

Sadly, it won't for him personally - he'll die in absolute confidence of his power.
The US on the other hand - I fear that their fall will be relatively quick and painful (in the scale of empire decline). I say fear, because for all it's many faults, the alternatives remain much, much worse.

Labour following the Democrat playbook of ignoring your own voters and instead trying to appeal to 'moderates' on the other side.
Don't follow US politics very much - does anyone know how that's working out for them?

I'd have like Archer on loan, but not permanent for £20m and obviously Buendia would have been a great signing. Not much else that we were linked to that would have been a step up on what we have and I'm fairly confident we've got enough to finish top 2. Not ideal, but not a disaster.

I suspect Otto, that you're missing the nuance and subtlety of the piece. The hidden depths that represent the great mind of Elon Musk. This isn't just a fork in the road. It's a *big* fork in the road.

Kemi should know full well that Tories never shut up and they never think they're wrong.

Any data on the equivalent loss in the same period in other years?

Given the state's demonstrated wilingness to move the goalposts on pensions you could never call it a 'pot'. Do you have any confidence that a 25 year and a 55 year old that retire with a full NI record will get remotely equivalent pensions? I don't.

It's incredible to fathom the long-term damage that the Cameron government did to the UK. Surely the worst PM we've ever had, with some strong contenders succeeding him.

The base model BYD Dolphin, which I guess is the closest to the hypothetical Ford Puma in the piece, costs £26,200 - I don't think this is going to help.

There's no other way to treat it unfortunately - this man is ostensibly the president-elect's closest adviser and he's seeking to overthrow a democratically elected government, because they won't release a far right ally from prison. It's news!!

Tory Chancellor Kwasi Kwarteng could have compensated them but he chose to shred the economy. He has absolutely zero shame.

Oh god - I'm not sure I want to know... could be crushing to find out that at 500 new STs a year you'll probably be dead before you get one.

The whole reason they are reducing the relief is because the rich are *already* buying the farms, so that they reduce the level of IHT that they pay. Then they employ someone to work the land/manage the estate, often the former owner, so they never get their hands dirty, figuratively or literally.

If we break even or make a small profit on a PSR basis I'd call that a win. Terrible from his first game, but handicapped by Marsch's god awful tactics.
