You should listen to this weeks podcast. They had a guest on who works with the new B team, and was explaining how they treat the kids at the club, with education and apprenticeships for them all in case they have to cast them aside.

Also a great chat with Jimmy Dunne after he scored the winning penalty on Tuesday night.

 

Too much sherry in the cake at the Christmas do?

 

Too much free fizzy wine stuff

 

Marr: Is it transphobic to say only women have a cervix? Keir Starmer: “It is something that shouldn’t be said, it is not right.

Paul Embery (comment) - Dear God...

 

The question and the answer is a prime example of the state of journalism and politics in this country.

 

Or you could say it’s a prime example of where Labour sits right now and its obsession with identity politics.

 

The question is a fair one, given that a Labour MP is frightened to attend the Party Conference due to threats of violence from the increasingly powerful trans lobby.

The answer is woeful, and could be taken as yet another example of men trying to subjugate women

 

That's a bit rich, coming from someone who's obsessed with class.

 

If you can’t tell the difference in reasoning Strolls then you’re part of the problem

 

Things must be going well if Marr has time to ask that.

 

What a stupid question and what a stupid answer. With whats going on in this country at the moment, they ask something like that! Ffs

 

More fool me, ive got enough diesel in the vans for, hopefully 2 jobs next week, then i will be empty and will have no chance of getting to work. What an absolute **** up from the top right down. Honestly, what the **** is going on with this country?! Kermit Johnson is a complete and utter ****er. This isnt about the Covid pandemic, we have been living with that for nearly 2 ****ing years. This is just incompetence after lie after incompetence. Please Tories, get rid of that stupid cartoon character, put a serious person in charge who actually gives a **** about the UK and its citizens, clear the nodding dog ministers and get people with the experience to run the departments. Its all getting beyond a joke now!!!!

 

Just be careful you don't call them scum...wouldn't want to upset the precious princesses

Eh ? So it’s Johnson who’s been panic buying the fuel at Tesco’s ?
Cheeky ****

The restoration of Eastern European HGV drivers via emergency visas is a start, but who is going to serve me my coffee in Pret?
The visa scheme needs to be widened to other sectors immediately.

Star Wars shoes row: MP's scathing letter on Commons headed paper to shop after special heels sell out before she can buy some
Angela Rayner, the Ashton-under-Lyne MP, wrote an angry note to the head office and shop after she thought she was on a pre-order list, but didn't get the shoes when they went on sale

Irregular Choice Star Wars R2-D2 shoes
An MP used House of Commons letter headed paper to complain about not being able to purchase a pair of Star Wars shoes.

Ashton-under-Lyne MP Angela Rayner MP, 35, vented her frustration over a pair of £195 R2-D2 heels when their makers launched the popular shoes last week.








The Irregular Choice Star Wars range saw fans queuing up outside shops to get shoes from the coveted collection, but the MP missed out.

The upset MP wrote a strongly-worded letter of complaint on House of Commons note-paper, saying: “I have only ever brought your shoes and I am loathed to do so again, or recommend your shoes to others. I am writing to let you know that treating customers in that way will only cost you more in the long term.”

Daniel Theophanides, 32, head of retail at Brighton-based Irregular Choice, said he was ‘personally very shocked by the complaint’, adding: “It was the wording of the complaint on House of Commons headed paper. One was addressed to head office and the other was sent to the shop in Brighton.

“The store manager saw it and that wasn’t nice, it was cruel. I wouldn’t dream of writing a letter of complaint on company headed paper.”

He insisted the MP mistakenly believed she was on a pre-order list but in fact the shoes were only available to people who turned up at their shops.

Angela Rayner
He said: “There was a queue outside every single one of our five stores in the UK on Carnaby Street and Camden in London and in Brighton, Leicester and Norwich.”





He said he called her to say he was ‘sorry she missed out’ but did not get a chance to offer her a pair he had sourced from China as she ‘hung up’.

The MP tweeted about the incident, writing: “Shame they sold my pair after I waited months on their list & been a customer 4 years. Poor customer service.”

She told the M.E.N. in a statement: “There appears to have been a breakdown in communications with the company, which is regrettable.”

She added: “My complaint was about the poor level of customer service and the attitude of a member of staff, who appears to be seeking headlines in tabloid newspapers rather than concentrating on providing a decent service to customers.”

Her office pointed out rules permitted ‘modest use of’ House of Commons stationery for personal correspondence.

Thanks for bringing this very important issue to our attention.

This is a photo from an incident I attended 12 years ago. The man driving the car had filled some petrol containers up and placed them in the boot. The escaping petrol vapour met an ignition source in his car, this was the result. Panic buyers beware!! #petrolpanic#panicbuying
