Well, while I suspect there is little to no merit in the claims against Rayner, I'm against tax dodgers in general, regardless of the sum. In the week where benefit fraudsters were allowed to claim 53 million squids from the State, and the week where the DWP are consciously prosecuting unpaid carers for repayment of benefits the DWP knew or ought to have known should not have been claimed, this is a bit pathetic. Tighten up the tax rules, don't strike deals with dodgers like Zahawi, make the big corporations pay what they are due and put your computer systems at the DWP in order. Then maybe the Government can pay out the compensation properly due to the infected blood scandal, the Windrush scandal, the Post Office scandal etc etc and still have loads left for tax cuts and fixing the country's problems. IMO.

Not many survivors from the above, but Roberto Cavalli dead as reported elsewhere. Need I say it? Picked last year, but dropped this year and that's why @Death Impends he's a List of the Missed. https://www.derbydeadpool.co.uk/deadpool2023/celebs_C.html#cavalr

Neville Staple celebrated his 69th birthday yesterday with a "backyard jam": He's clinging on for dear life to that chair. But fortunately he's alive and singing, nothing ever change, woooahh woah.

Aha! Amazing. Solves that mystery straight away though. Thanks.

@Death Impends I have George Schappell a former DDP pick last picked in 2019: https://www.derbydeadpool.co.uk/deadpool2019/celebs_S.html#schapg And Lori Schappell last picked in 2018: https://www.derbydeadpool.co.uk/deadpool2018/celebs_S.html#schapl I wonder why they only picked the one in 2019? Anyhow, both List of the Missed.

Eckart Dux is a DDP pick. Any chance he'll QO? Quite frankly, I'd say stick him on the List of the Lost now.
