Had a word with this trophy the other day alongside my 8 yo womens football fanatic… it definitely wants to come home… #Lionesses Image
Also should be said - hats off to the FA and whoever organised it - we went to most of the Brentford games and it was superbly organised, incredibly inspiring, players accessible to girls getting autographs etc - at £5 for kids tickets - entire primary classes could & did go… Image
We went to the womens World Cup in France / which was also brilliant, but say England-Scotland played out to 5000 fans in a 40k stadium… so absolutely spot on here to fill out smaller stadia and bring elite international sport to other communities… ImageImageImageImage
What. A . Goal.

Toooooooooone. ImageImage
#champions

UK’s post Brexit EU “divorce bill” reaches €50 billion, confirms Treasury... up from €40-45bn...

assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/upl…
rather remember catalogue of angry abuse and ‘fake news’ accusations on here when I gently suggested 50bn euro divorce bill was coming, five years ago, after having been told about it on and off record... and we were basically starting to accept paying it news.sky.com/story/uk-faces…
Also led to my all time no 1 favourite doorstep of PM May at 2am in morning Brussels...

PM, is it true youre gonna pay 50bn euros to EU as part of a divorce deal?

May: “its been a constructive summit, and i look forward to working closely with our European partners”. Walks off.

On public sector pay awards, these are the things to watch for...

Will the Govt just wave through the recommendations of the pay review bodies or adjust them in some way?

Has the Treasury provided more cash to fund above settlements above what has been planned?
The purpose of the pay review process is to balance off a comparison of pay levels with recruitment and retainment challenges (lots)...

Treasury was clearly saying last month that any department that wanted to fund higher settlements would have to find savings elsewhere...
There will be differences - eg new teachers are already on target for a significant rise under the plan to raise their wages to 30k, up 9% this year and 7% next...

Also worth looking out for Govt amalgamating this year and next...

Also these rises backdated to April
