RadioactiveWaste Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 Point of order at the end disappointing the actual minister didn't field the UQ.

Black ('n' White) Sheep Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 Well, James Daly MP (Bury) has broken new ground for me today... a Tory I actually respect. Well said ? Makedoh, IslandExile, strawhillram and 11 others 4 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Olton Ram Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 I was impressed by the geographical mix of MPs speaking, including even the SNP MP at the end.

ollycutts1982 Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 I really feel that this whole witch-hunt/vendetta against us by the EFL will be the beginning of the end for them. Whatever happens from now they have dug their own grave. If DCFC survive and bring down the EFL in the process it will be worth it.

minesahartington Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 Pathetic that Boro release a statement during the debate saying how reasonable they are and their joke MP waves it about talking compromise and to be included. What a joke. Should have been scolded for a dubious claim.

Can't ask for more just now. He hasn't ruled out direct intervention. Adslegend, kash_a_ram_a_ding_dong, Caerphilly Ram and 7 others 7 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EulogyForEvolution Posted January 18, 2022 Author Share Posted January 18, 2022 It was great to see the support for the club, but there is an awful long way to go yet. I didn't appreciate the Minister for Sport not being there for the UQ. I know how it works and he could have been there if he wanted to. I also want to say a huge well done to everyone on this campaign. As I said before, I work in politics and things like this do not tend to happen without pressure coming from constituents. I'm working quite far away from Derby now but there have been so many emails coming into the inbox from Derby fans urging actions. Keep it up. Let's hope the Minister gets straight on the phone to the EFL. BarrowRam, LauraH, Adslegend and 7 others 6 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My MP did respond to my email to say she's sorry about my team and sent a link to the UQ and that she'd write to the scotgov minister about the issues as they be of concern in the Scottish League as well. She wasn't the snp lady who spoke though. David Graham Brown 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
