Didn’t Brown use the money the club had accrued over the FAC semi final run and subsequent fee player sales, ie Davis, Holland, Dyche, Mercer and Williams to pay NL?
A shady practice indeed.

He badly needs the support of the one Alba MSP, Ash Regan, to maybe survive, a person who he said was “no great loss to the SNP”.
Ms Regan is apparently demanding he move away from identity politics and accept the findings of the Cass gender treatment review and invest properly in public services.

RISHI SUNAK is today celebrating a vote of confidence in his Rwanda migrant plan after European politicians pledged their own copycat schemes.

The Prime Minister has praised foreign parties for ‘following our lead’ and finally ‘recognising a meaningful deterrent is the only way to stop the boats’.


Britain has spent years fighting European bodies for the right to remove illegal migrants.

But now even Ursula von der Leyen, the President of the European Commission, has backed a policy of deporting people to third countries for asylum processing.

In its manifesto for June’s European elections, Ms Von der Leyen’s European People’s Party (EPP) calls for ‘a fundamental change in European asylum law’.

The EPP grouping, the largest in the European Parliament, has pledged: ‘We want to implement the concept of safe third countries. Anyone applying for asylum in the EU could also be transferred to a safe third country and undergo the asylum process there.’

Writing in today’s Mail on Sunday, a delighted Mr Sunak says: ‘I said when I first became Prime Minister that others would recognise a meaningful deterrent is the only way to stop the boats and now even top parties in the EU are following our lead.’

The Prime Minister, whose Bill allowing illegal migrants to be deported to Rwanda was passed by Parliament last week, has vowed that he will not allow lawyers to use the European Convention on Human Rights to block the plans, saying that they were ‘more important’ than ‘membership of any foreign court’……
