Footstock sticker collector since day one. Playing the long game.

@SurreyPolice You should detail the other options that were tried but failed.

Otherwise this looks like a sick and unwarranted violent response to a completely trivial issue.

British policing is based on consent of the public. Consent will evaporate if violence is used so unnecessarily.

It’s Mido’s birthday today. You remember him.

The King of the Crossbar Challenge.

HAVE IT.

@betmate_app I’m still getting used to the game - and maybe it takes a while for points to update - but shouldn’t Trent AA be receiving points for an assist?

@Samfr He’s a bully. An open secret in Whitehall. At DEXEU, at the Foreign Office, and at MOJ - he has been aggressive, abusive, and shown a violent temper towards civil servants. If he was a CEO in any other organisation he would have been kicked out years ago. Same as Priti Patel.

@PippaCrerar Trying to save him by keeping the scope of investigation limited to the “two formal complaints”.

If an independent investigator was properly empowered there would be a deluge of evidence from all of Raab’s previous departments. It’s an open secret in Whitehall that he’s a bully

@tomorrowsmps It’s worth noting that 3 of the 92 male Labour MPs is almost directly proportional to the wider country (given 3.5% of British men are black).

So I guess the question is whether that’s an appropriate reflection of the 92 constituencies they represent?

@toryboypierce @epl_mufc Footballers didn’t crash the economy in 2008.

Bonus-chasing incentivised bankers to take bigger and more consequential risks with other peoples money, and ultimately forcing the state to bail them out. That’s why we cap their bonuses now. To avoid a repeat of 2008.

@BenGoldsmith @Diogenes1 @benrileysmith True, but they are totemic. They signal how the government is thinking about its priorities. If immaterial, they shouldn’t have even been on the Chancellor’s desk in the run up to an emergency cost-of-living budget. It reminded me of the 2017 fox hunting manifesto debacle.

@rafaelbehr @joncstone The great irony is the Spad in this video is also called Cameron…

[FS Playingcards @FPlayingcards]

@JohnRentoul Miles Dean sounds like a tax specialist who can’t see beyond the raw numbers.

The scandal here is a British Chancellor of the Exchequer whose personal commitment to the UK is so paper thin that he’s kept his options open to move to America. Sunak has zero “belief in Britain”.

@joymorrissey “Ministers decide” applies to policy.

The PM can decide to keep pubs open; it doesn’t mean he can compel people to attend those pubs, nor should he want the CMO to withhold info that allows individuals to make an informed decision.

What has happened to the Tory party??

[FS Playingcards @FPlayingcards]

@stocks_fc If this is genuine and you want to correct FI and FS failings I’ll reserve judgement.

But you need to improve the optics a lot. Why are “weekly” and “monthly” capitalised? Why is there an apostrophe after IPO?

This stuff matters because it makes you look two-bit and amateur.

@kr_walter @LloydArcher3 @JeffStelling Yeh he means even if you’re a fan of a big six club, don’t forgive your club for what they’ve done.

[FS Playingcards @FPlayingcards]

@FootstockN The suggestions seems to be that FI collapse scared off their big investors, and then meant Seedrs closed down their funding round.

Whether that's legit or not I don't know. Personally it feels unlikely; a platform that was reliant on a Seedrs round was not in a good place.

[FS Playingcards @FPlayingcards]

@Football_MDJ Completely agree. I’m gutted to have lost a genuinely fun and engaging hobby. I didn’t necessarily expect to win long term, but to have this type of ending across the entire sector is just sad.

[FS Playingcards @FPlayingcards]

@AaronPalace Yep my feeling too. I just enjoyed Footstock. It was fun more than anything.

[FS Playingcards @FPlayingcards]

@JAKEFI4 @Footstock Congrats on the £105 and the Monster ticket ;)

[FS Playingcards @FPlayingcards]

@FootstockBunk But only because I backed Adams and Djenepo is all my other lineups - so that was just a way to hedge.

It’s nice to be fairly confident of winning the £63 but it has basically buggered every other weekend entry. 😑

[FS Playingcards @FPlayingcards]

@FootstockBunk 😎

[FS Playingcards @FPlayingcards]

@DigitalChrisD It looks like Orsic and Borja combining for 5 goals may have also helped 😅 great lineup - good picks!!
