You would hope that even Telegraph readers might spot the nonsense in this sentence: "In the aftermath of that arbitration judgment last month the club claimed victory. Yet all those key parts of the APT rules deemed unlawful by the tribunal have now been amended." If we hadn't had the...

City say the ruling that the rules are unlawful means they are void. The PL statement says they have amended the rules - but there were no rules to amend. These must be new rules. Not backdating shareholder loans is, on the face of it, based on the worthy principle of avoiding retrospective...

Email just gone to the BBC today programme after Dan Roan's "explanation" of the PL case: SACK DAN ROAN "Abu Dhabi-owned Manchester City"? What about all the American-owned rivals? Details of the sponsorship deal but nothing about other clubs' interest-free loans excluded from the rules...

His map for the Channel Tunnel had train lines running direct from Paris to Manchester - with a branch to Hull!

It's pure misogyny from some.

Farmers protesting again...

It's reported that trucks were stolen by gangs at gunpoint. Israel has withheld aid (Israelis have attacked aid convoys). People are starving. Civil order breaks down. Aid goes in and gangs of masked men attacked the convoy. Hamas attacked the gangs attacking the convoy. Read further.

I've not been following this of late. Re whether the APT rules are void, as the club says, have we not yet established why? It's in the Competition Act 1998, s.2. If the rules are unlawful, the agreement or decision to introduce them is prohibited, and prohibited decisions are void. Agreements...

I rewatched episode one of The Cleaner, with Helena Bonham-Carter as the woman who stabbed her husband 38 times. "Living with him was like a series of paper cuts so eventually it was time he bled." So why didn't you just leave him? "Sunk cost fallacy." His MAGA supporters have invested too...

Taking out most adverbs will improve any article or speech, especially "bigly".

"Can I be the correspondent for Canada? Or Rwanda? Or anywhere else?"

When did Netanyahu say it was all about getting the hostages back?

Yeah, but only two lines instead of three. I thought it sounded high. More like a third on adult social care.

It's been a rise in pensions of £36 a week over the last two years so (cynically maybe) withdrawing £6 a week now should have been less outrageous than against a £9 a week rise next year. If we accept that UK pensions are low compared to most other European countries, the triple lock has...

Interesting doorstep conversation with a non-voter, ex Tesco manager, who said they'd be looking to raise prices when minimum wage went up.

I must be missing something. No-one pays IHT on a house they own, because they'd be dead.

I'm not sure how "relative" poverty works in this. Part of the government's argument is that withdrawing the WFA(=£4 or £6/week) is in the context of an increase in the state pension over 3 years of £45/week. Those who would be put into relative poverty (not necessarily the same 50,000 each...
