#GBNews have just published their accounts up to May 2023. Headlines: losses £42m (up from £31m). Wages £21m (from £13m). Total revenue £7m (up from £4m). Advertising revenue £4m (up from £3m). Nowhere near breaking even - is it really a business aimed at making money?

GB News ltd are overdue filing their accounts. They lost nearly £37m in their last published accounts, so these are likely to be significantly worse. It will be interesting to see how the 'going concern' requirement is met

Overheard today: " #Sunak has all the right qualities, it's just that he's been unlucky with all his decisions ". Made me wonder if they're as understanding with their team's football manager...

I would cajole and encourage you to have another crack at buying or simply retweeting my art

This post is unavailable.

The #Chelsea news re UEFA is not good news for #ManCity. A fine from the PL seems likely. But CFC self-reported and will have co-operated. But City hid deception and are charged with failing to co-operate with investigation. Something more than a fine seems entirely possible


Sheffield Utd's all-time record signing is Brewster at £21m. Man City have signed 37 players who have cost more, arriving for between £23m and £100m each, 19 of them since Pep arrived. HT via @sportingintel

Worth bearing in mind, this is what the BBC said to me in 2020 when Andrew Neil was being a shouty, right-wing pile on orchestrator on Twitter. Compare and contrast.

This Gary Lineker/MOTD story is a very effective way of discovering trolly RW accounts to block.


Anyone wondering why the @ManCity case has dragged on might want to consider the Statute of Limitations for Tort (I.e. being able to sue the club for impact of rulebreaking). It's 6 years in the UK...


The @ManCity news. One big thing is failure to act in Utmost Good Faith. Blades sued @WestHam when they admitted not acting in UGF re Tevezgate. Used Tort laws to claim £20m damages for relegation


An interesting aspect of the Mykhailo Mudryk deal to #Chelsea (other than the £62m fee [plus add ons]) is the 7.5year contact! That's a commitment to pay over in £50m wages for a still-developing player.

#Eng finish with the best group record. That #Usa result actually wasn't too bad at all


Lots of skied shots this tournament and a lack of free kick goals. Perhaps the roundest ball ever isn't so great? #Qatar2022


Torres loves a steadying touch - needs to hit more first time #spainvsgermany
