HMRC is going to come a knocking on those tax-free grants if the tribunal finds she is an employee of BC

I assume that calculation has been done.

Nervous Tory MPs hearing rumours that the ERG - in order to force the
pace of a leadership contest - may release the names of 48 MPs who
have told them they've put in letters to Graham Brady. To smoke out
liars.

The tory party is basically copying the plot of Where Eagles Dare.

Will there be fighting on the roof of one of the Emirates cable car gondolas?
Somebody should call Clint (not a typo), and ask him to get us out of this mess.

So you can feel good about a winning team without being a Murdoch fanboy? Sounds good to me.

yeah it was very hard to get behind brad and froome with murdoch looming large in the background

Yeah, 100%. Would not even consider wearing a team sky shirt, seeing as murdoch is such a waste of skin.

Well you've had a brief period of clear conscience, as Murdoch's Fox (albeit now owned by Disney) sold their minority share in Sky a few months back - Comcast now own it 100%.

Edit: although reading the article, it seems Fox do still own a chunk of Team Sky. Or Continental Racing or whatever it's called.

How come liar-Cohen does not go to jail until March 2019?

Comcast aren't much better for shitty corporate practices.

You mean other than the continued bankrolling of the Minions franchise?

Still, they are no CSC, who had a mercenary wing and operated CIA rendition flights from the UK, if memory serves. Possibly why Bjarne Riis used to make them play soldiers in the the off season.

Andrew Neil is so fucking useless. I've had to go across to Sky News.

Well done all the social media 'warriors' who documented and circulated his opinions & actions. Perhaps he could be one of the first 'guests' at the New Workhouse Network, I'm seeking funding for?

Let's reinstate the feudal era!

Whereas during 13 years of Labour government under Tony Blair and Gordon Brown only a couple of sitting Labour mps were made knights or dames, in the eight years since the Conservatives took office at least 35 Tory mps have received such honours, according to our tally (see chart).
