I can’t say for certain that Timpson is a blue but I can confirm that City key rings are the only football club key rings available in the Timpsons by St James’ Park Tube station.

He must be, as a few years ago, there was a discount at Timpson's outlets for SC holders.

When the missus worked in "employment bureaux" Powell was a constant nightmare always sending MP letters, haranguing staff and being an all round pain. She doesn't speak highly of Luce.

Yep had many letters off her & Khan . Both give it the big do you know who I am . Fortunately now retired

In a former life I used to have to deal with letters from Gerald Kaufman regarding complaints from his constituents. Pompous and threatening are the words I’d choose. He clearly didn’t like the fact he had to do work. Horrible man.

The White Eagle and The Oyster Catcher on Anglesey,two great pubs,
were owned by John Timpson and his wife,not sure they still are.

Think they live (or did) at Rhoscolyn.

Yup Rayner is deffo a rag.

However she hails from Stockport (Blue) and represents Tameside (very Blue) so I am sure she will be careful not to alienate the very high volume of City fans in her patch.

On Saturday, Cabinet Minister Lucy Powell told the BBC Labour was "not in hoc" to vested interests "at all", and had declared donations correctly.

She said Labour was "taking on" water companies, rail companies and the football clubs, adding "we're on the side of fans, we're on the side of consumers, we're on the side of ordinary people".

Labour spokesman might as well have thrown scrabble letters in the air and spoke Klingon for all that statement was worth.

I wonder what the ordinary people of Miles Platting, Ancoats and the rest of her constituency think about the £40k she's registered as gifts 'n freebies. Does she have a box at The Etihad upgraded from an ST in SS1?

I think they are two separate issues mate, the first one is the Labour parties pledge to the people we'll see on that one, the second a consequence of doing her job, where people seek favour via gifts which is morally wrong.
In this Country we have developed a Celebrity culture even using A to Z to define self importance, where Celebrities feel they are owed something by ordinary people,and they bounce from freebie to freebie not caring for the consequence of the freebie, It seems that those who can afford to pay don't and the people who struggle and work hard pay indirectly for there freebies.

Being an MP she could put her name down on the early motion on football ticket prices. 11 MPs have done so to date.

The parliament 'bible' ErskineMay says:

"It is open to any Member to table an EDM although in practice government ministers and parliamentary private secretaries do not do so."

THe main parliament page on EDMs says much the same.

No, that’s on level 1.

Let's hope he sticks the boot in.

The whole Timpson family are City fans and have been for generations.

They are very generous philanthropists and good people.

We auctioned their company fleet vehicles and John sometimes attended the auctions and was always most open and friendly.

 

[Dave Ewing's Back 'eader]

No, that’s on level 1.

Surely she hasn't dipped into her parliamentary salary to purchase an ST on CBL2?

To be fair, she was there last season too. I have no idea if she pays or not. I could ask her tomorrow, but probably won’t as I don’t care enough.
