Might be worth a punt on AVB getting the boot at Spurs before Xmas.
Terrible result today - back to the bad old days of losing after a europa league game under Harry...
Our squad was supposed to be bigger etc and yet AVB took nearly all of them to Russia and back on Thursday - even Townsend who wasn't even on the bench... Holtby been playing with Defoe, Erikssen with Soldado - AVB threw that all out the window today. Defoe is a flat track bully or whatever the phrase is...
Some tough games ahead and you may yet be right! You can always rely on Spurs to let us down.
George Osborne is being urged to bring in a simple flat tax system after it emerged that some middle income families are paying an effective rate of 73 per cent because they have been stripped of their child benefit.

Good idea. Say a flat tax rate of 20% for everybody?
@pppolitics: Nigel Farage WILL stand as MP at next GE - which constituency? Boston&Skegness, Folkestone&Hythe joint 9/2 favs #UKIP http://t.co/gynHk1NaeY
I've been away for the weekend but catching up with reading I see the weekend FT said he would stand in South Thanet?
Govt Deputy Chief Whip John Randall resigns. Re-shuffle on its way - likely moves for mid ranking ministers. Wider cabinet changes next yr nickrobinson
Surprisingly good, non-PC documentary - by Rageh Omaar! - on BBC2 right now, analysing the Ottoman Empire.
It's a salutary reminder of just how cruel the Ottomans were (they taxed Christian families of their children - they stole kids); it therefore explains, implicitly, why Turkey/Islam is still so hated and feared in Greece and the Balkans, and consequently why Turkey will never be allowed to join the EU - too many south-east European countries would veto, reflexively.
Chopping off bits of people's bodies was a speciality of the Ottomans IIRC.
@AndyJS I would be surprised if any journalist could recreate that '100 yard journey of Liam Fox'. I would pay 3p to see if it is true. Google Earth shows it is nonsensical. Funny how so many have been taken in by this one.

A surprisingly common tactic throughout history, I've always thought, whether it's Francoist Spain or 16th century Ottoman Empire.

How does Google Earth show whether an expense claim was submitted or not?
Miss Smith must be 7 shades of useless if they've already tried her in 2 position for a year and had to get rid both times, despite the demographic desirability of having her on the pay roll.

dr_spyn seems to know the area and has posted that the direct route isn't navigable due to a disused railway line. Hence the map plotting function the papers are using to measure the distance isn't right.
The factory has two sites, and by car the route to the surgery is between 1/3 mile and 3/4 mile. The receipt refers to two post codes, but if you were to drive or walk, there is no way that only 100 yards is covered. The area is criss crossed by streams, a disused railway line.

How does any of this show that the reported expense claim wasnt made?
I can't help feeling that we're not getting the entire story. But maybe I am just sad, middle-aged and enviously suspicious.
She's crap, that's all.
Tish tish, tim. You love gossip as much as I. A bit of googling and you will see all kinds of crustacean-joustering possibilities.
I thought you were up to speed.
My guess is that these are two junior ministers being allowed to announce their resignations in advance of a wider reshuffle to mitigate the impression that they have been ignominiously sacked.
Chloe Smith married earlier this year and has a by election gain and marginal to retain in 2015. Allowing her to announce she is stepping down to concentrate on her constituency work before the reshuffle improves her re-election chances.

Or read back issues of Plymouth Today?.
edit: Goodness! Just noticed that your story was in Brighton. Here are two from Plymouth, in 2008 and 2013. Looks like a regular order of business...

It took the Telegraph so long to figure this one out.

Of course it reduces his chance of winning, but he's having too much fun in the sun right now to care.

Mr Fox's office made the claim after he travelled a distance recorded as 0.06 miles in October 2012."

Or something. I don't really care.

Are you channeling Godfrey Bloom?

What happened to your firm principles about leaving family members out of this? Or does that just apply to dead Marxists?
