@humanmale1984 @bmrjames @GinaBelle1981 He needs to be playing in the prem to try and force his way into the US world cup squad. He's been a great servant to the club and didn't down tools when the other senior players did, but it's time to let him go achieve what he deserves.

@simonwells01 @andy_littlefair @ZakCrawleyFan If his stats are so poor why has no other English batter managed to score more runs than him in this series? Or in the 2023 Ashes?

[Matt Bradley @MBGenius_]

@jackedupjockey @stokaljona @alextowells He played that same shot several times during his innings, very effectively. You can have a go at the poor execution of the shot but blaming the shot selection is not the deep, intellectual analysis you think it is...

[Matt Bradley @MBGenius_]

@meds89 @SldkSpottet @lukewoodso @NorwichCityFC Can't help but wonder if getting rid of many of the most experienced players in the squad in January (Fassnacht, Hanley & Barnes) played a big factor in the squad underperforming in 2025...

@moving_charlie Soo... Did I miss the apology?

[Matt Bradley @MBGenius_]

@hogesar @DanieIEmery Surely having a centre half and a full back in the list is the biggest sign? Nobody pays to watch a centre half! 😂

[Matt Bradley @MBGenius_]

@bmunderwood1 @GaryLineker You realise he's, very openly, a Leicester fan right? He's having a joke, it's not all a conspiracy...

[Matt Bradley @MBGenius_]

@JackPengelly_ Are we not going to talk about the start of the routine where the Ipswich player holds a defender to stop him tracking a run?

[Matt Bradley @MBGenius_]

@DHucks6 Listening on the radio as soon as we made that double change to bring on Hanley & Forson the momentum seemed to completely swing. Just completely lost control of the game.

@ColeFusionHQ @LeoMars75 Making the employment of under 21s on under £50k exempt from ERs NI is, I believe, originally a Tory policy and quite a good one in my opinion. It does very much go under the radar.

I do agree with you though about the min wage equalisation making young workers less desirable.

@moving_charlie https://t.co/9E08DTdyVs

Look at employers contribution for NI category M which is employees under 21. The lowering of the secondary threshold to £5k doesn't have an impact on under 21s as they don't incur ERs NI until they hit upper secondary (£50,270)

[Matt Bradley @MBGenius_]

@ColeFusionHQ @LeoMars75 Employees over state pension are category C, under 21 are category M. Employers NI for cat C is standard but Cat M is 0% Employer NI on all earnings under 50k per annum. So no Er NI on the young person but £3k of Er NI cost for the older employee in your example

[Matt Bradley @MBGenius_]

@PDF53 @moving_charlie Ohh dear. Look up NI category M, the category that all under 21s (excluding apprentices) fit into. Employers do not pay NI on earnings below £50k for category M. Charlie, his mate that he reposted and now you are all wrong.

[Matt Bradley @MBGenius_]

@ColeFusionHQ @LeoMars75 18 year olds typically have lower living costs, i.e no mortgage, plus most likely wouldn't be paying into a pension which would narrow the gap in take home. Either way the Employer NI for over 65 in your scenario is £3k higher than for 18 y/o employee. Your point makes no sense.

[Matt Bradley @MBGenius_]

@PDF53 @moving_charlie They'd have to be earning over £50k a year. If any employer is paying an 18 year old over 50k I would suggest it is not the sort of role where they would be easily replaced by an older person, or indeed that this decision would make much impact on whether they are employed.

[Matt Bradley @MBGenius_]

@ColeFusionHQ @LeoMars75 How do you figure that one out? Employee NI is not an additional cost to employers as it's already built into gross wages? Employers NI is a cost to employers, employers pay that when employing all people over 21...

[Matt Bradley @MBGenius_]

@LeoMars75 @moving_charlie Have they got rid of NI code M now? Or are you talking out of your arse? Employers don't pay Employers NI for employees under 21 unless they earn over £4k per month. If anything this makes employing young people even more desirable...

[Matt Bradley @MBGenius_]

@devonviews @andrewrileyaca @afneil Not sure you know what Employment Allowance is. Essentially SMEs do not have to pay the first £5k of Er NI they incur. If for example your mate has 2 full time employees on min wage, his Er NI bill would be below that allowance even with an increase in Er NI rates so no cost.
