remember the ferry contract, with the company that had no ferries?

A thread: How Wigan Athletic have been victim to one of the greatest sporting scandals of all time.

[RS Archer @archer_rs]

Just had conversation with a British couple who have a holiday home near us. They voted for Brexit and have made no arrangements whatsoever for what happens on Jan 1. They have now discovered the reality of their situation.

The blame apparently is with "Brussels".

Imagine the reaction if Raheem Sterling had driven all the way to London during lockdown for a family party?

Ben Warner: 2 years ago he was doing physics postdoc. Now he’s a ‘data scientist’ advising govt & sitting on SAGE. His brother, Marc - who worked with Cummings on Vote Leave - won £250m NHS contract when Cummings entered Downing Street. And now the contract for NHS tracking app

NEW: The excess UK deaths linked to coronavirus are likely to be around

as of yesterday, not the 17,337 of the hospital deaths announcements

Here is the explanation for that estimate, which I will update daily

Why @MattHancock was wrong about footballers. And why no town should lose its sports club because of #COVID19 - we have to start talking about this now >>>

We recorded this tonight with a truly remarkable group of experts. They're not in the press briefings. And they're not being listened to. But we decided they need a platform. Please watch. Please share. Please ask questions

You called out the footballers
-And they’ve responded

Now how about the hedge fund managers, the bankers the offshore companies and the tax exiles?

[Oliver Holt @OllieHolt22]

Maybe a few more people will stop slagging the players now. They are not the villains of this piece. Never have been.

[Rob Draper @draper_rob]

This is the most coherent statement PFA have put out throughout this. And reflects what you hear all the time from players: YES we will take a pay cut. BUT we want it to go to NHS, club staff, Leagues 1 and 2. NOT to dividends, £100m transfer fees, £3m bonuses for chairmen

[Matt Lawton @Lawton_Times]

Actually have some sympathy for our footballers tonight. If the clubs need their help I think they’ll get it. But it’s the actions of certain club chairmen and poor leadership at the PFA that has suddenly exposed them to this criticism.

[Barney Ronay @barneyronay]

This is fairly pathetic predictable stuff. Why footballers? Why not hedge funders or retail magnates or those with vast unearned inherited wealth? Why not the Prince of Wales?

[Tim Walker @ThatTimWalker]

Every single one of us in journalism was aware Johnson wasn’t a fit and proper person to be prime minister. He worked in our trade and we’d got to know him only too well. And yet too many of us wrote this sort of crap because it was what our non-dom owners wanted.

Terrific question asking about regret in underfunding the NHS for years
