I see some of the predictions re number of seats, but I don't believe that Labour will get a landslide. Almost inevitably, the incumbents pick up votes during the campaign, although Tories seem to be trying to p1ss off, all but the elderly.
I suspect Lab will end up with around 400 seats, Tories 150, LD 20+. I hope Ref UK get zero. |

Last few days, Keiran Petrie and Lorent Talla have signed new contracts.
I believe Dev Squad should have plenty of attacking options for 24/25. Might need an extra RB. |

I suspect, without the necessary information, that this is a serious injury that will keep him out of the game for many months.
Whatever we think of his contribution, I'd hate to see us go into next season with a strike force of Frey, Armstrong, Kolli and Kelman. And some muppet on FLW is suggesting Kolli gets sent on loan. Along with Talla and Bala, the latter being released last week. |

Turning agency workers into full time. Simple.
No, it isn't. You can't compel people to take on jobs. I used to work freelance and, when I did, I would never have joined a company full time. I preferred being my own boss, even though answerable to the client. Agency staff can choose when they work and may have control over acceptable rates.
Employed staff have to toe the line on shift patterns and salaries.
A better balance between perm and agency staff would be ideal, especially in public sector. Buy it ain't going to happen when there are massive vacancies in health care. |

It may be perception, but Club seem to be more ruthless in cutting prospects that prob won't make it. No more Charlie Owens nor Travelman? |

What I've seen in Dev Squad highlights is that he's quick, with a decent shot. But v small. Maybe it's the latter that counts. Also, he may have somewhere lined up, hence announced much later than earlier departures. |

For any business trading in multiple jurisdictions, it is perfectly legitimate to take your profits in the most favourable one. It may be they are doing inter group trading. If country A charges country B £1000, but country B sells for £1300, then liability is £300. What's to stop country A selling for £1250?
How, then, do you assess what the profit should be and the tax liability? Amazon & Google both have huge European base in Ireland (country A?).
I believe EU were planning changes to harmonise tax rates across the bloc, but, of course, UK would no longer be part of that proposal. |

I believe both Bennie and Morgan are 18 already, so some of the restrictions won't apply.
Bennie played 25 of 27 Perth Glory games so should be used to men's football. Not sure about the standard, though. Nat League equivalent? |

Maybe there is a correlation between the numbers not working and the huge waiting lists in NHS. I appreciate that Covid made a lot of people 50+ think they'd had enough of working, so that's 2 factors.
Add in zero hours and/or min wage contracts it's not hard to see the attraction.
I doubt if DWP has the resources to identify many of those who could work but choose not to and claim benefits. In many cases the benefits barely cover subsistence living. |

After the job he did last season, Cifuentes is bound to attract attention. But he's only done 32 games in the English Championship, with no medals to show.
I suspect he'll be linked to jobs bit hope he'll stay a good bit longer. |

Unlikely but possible. It's history, now.
As a rule elections are won from the centre. Centre right or centre left. 2019 was made into virtually a single issue election.
Tories seem to have moved a long way right, leaving the centre to Labour. Explains why they are roughly 20% higher in the polls. |

At this stage only for Dev Squad.
To which you can add Kieran Morgan a defensive midfielder from Spurs. 2 year deal, so they.must think he's got a chance. |

No argument from me on that.
If you can't be bothered to vote you can't complain too much about the outcome.
I've never subscribed to claims of 37% approval in Brexit vote. It was 52:48 for those who could be ars3d. |
