    Move Number 10 to Blackpool. That'd concentrate some minds.

    Burnham could still deploy his Smiths lyrics.

    This is the coastal town
    That they forgot to close down
    Come, Armageddon, come

    How many shops on your high street are linked to organised crime? How many shops linked to crime gangs are sponsoring visas?

    We don't know.

    So I've written to the Home Office and asked for the full facts on how high street shops are enabling gang crime and immigration fraud.

    Surely if the Home Office knew about it, they would be fixing it.

    Round here Trading standards are complaining that they are doing much of the work but don't have and aren't getting the money to pay for the work they do.

    It's not. But it is a blantant rip-off of "Come friendly bombs...".

    Referee has been awful, Paraguay are lucky Germany don't have a Keane type fouler or his leg would have been snapped in half there. Germany absolutely fucked off and rightly so

    Assuming the Home Office want to take action and haven't been content to turn a blind eye so long as firms were paying Rates etc until the media rose a stink.

    There ought to be a cross-department quick-response system for burgeoning scams/grifts.

    Though perhaps too many loopholes need legislation to close, and legislation grinds slow.

    Early reports indicate that Ukrainian businessman Vadim Ermolaev, who was sanctioned earlier in the ongoing Russo-Ukrainian War for his ties to Russia through his business in occupied-Crimea, may have been the target of the bombing in Monaco earlier.

    Ermolaev was an oligarch who fell out with Z, lost Ukrainian citizenship and became Cypriot.

    At least it was in Monaco so not an act of terrorism by Ukraine on NATO territory!

    Every single major broadcast news bulletin, BBC, ITV, Sky GBN, I could go on, has led with Andy Burnham's key messages - the decision not to take questions totally vindicated as millions have seen his message and not the usual Punch and Judy show about "who will be Chancellor..." Really important learnings.

    Exactly as I said earlier when many on here were saying why is he not taking questions. Make them report on the bloody speech itself.

    Not sure I'm keen on the precedent being set here. Doesn't it give another would-be Prime Minister cover to continue avoiding a big question... a question worth five million pounds, one might say.

    Italy won the World Cup in 2006, Spain in 2010 and Germany in 2014. Since winning the tournament, between them they’ve won zero knockout games at the World Cup

    This is up there with our 5-1 win over them in 2001.

    Nope. Deliberate foul, directly led to the goal. Excellent decision.

    That ship has sailed. Andy was today introduced by the new Lab mayor candidate. And it wasn't Simpson

    You're probably right, I was just going by what the commentators said.
