A touch of Nubya Garcia alongside the strong fresh coffee this morning

Far from their finest but even a moderate Bhundu Boys album and strong fresh coffee makes for a decent start to the day. Now to see if I can get some writing done

They should but they won't. They won't because they can't. It's corruption in plain sight.

At some point, senior Premier League execs have to offer a proper explanation in public for their leniency towards Chelsea. They owe an explanation to fans of clubs punished more harshly. They owe an explanation to those clubs who did abide by the rules. They have to offer some explanation as to why PSR breaches are deemed far more serious than acts of "deception and concealment". Yes, these are the offences of a previous regime at Chelsea. But inconsistencies run through the PL's defence and their reputation is damaged. They can’t hide from a controversy of this magnitude.

@TimNewburn @SimonHoldaway1 Quite easy to work out who that advisor is…and thus no surprise

The Review of Policing has a number of huge flaws. The choice of chair is wrong. To appoint a chair before terms of reference are agreed seems odd. Possibly most importantly, by suggesting that the review's recommendations will be in by the summer, the timescale is way too short.

The home secretary Shabana Mahmood has announced that Lord Hogan-Howe, the former commissioner of the Metropolitan Police, will lead her radical review of policing in England and Wales. Hogan-Howe, 68, was a policeman for 38 years and became chief constable of Merseyside and an inspector of constabulary before leading Scotland Yard. He has been asked to deliver “evidence-based recommendations” by the summer. That’s not a lot of time, but Shabana Mahmood has already made her mind up. Instead of 43 forces, she wants a smaller number of larger forces plus an overarching National Police Service (being likened to a British FBI). The argument is that big forces can handle big investigations into homicides, major drug crime and firearms more effectively. Within these new forces, smaller teams would handle neighbourhood policing and petty crime. Police leaders have been asking for a quarter of a century for an overhaul of police structures; most favour a reduction to either nine or 12 regional forces. Politicians have, however, been reluctant to grasp the nettle, calculating that there are no votes in abolishing forces with names such as Staffordshire, Dorset or Norfolk that are clearly linked with place and community. Is Hogan-Howe the right man for this job? He arrived at Scotland Yard in 2011 promising a back-to-basics return to “total policing”. He left in 2017 with his record tarnished by the Met’s handling of Operation Midland, the unhinged investigation into fabricated allegations of child abuse and murder made by the fantasist Carl Beech. The Met had to apologise for its treatment of the ex-Army chief Lord Bramall, the family of the former home secretary Leon Brittan and the ex-MP Harvey Proctor. The real issue, however, is not Hogan-Howe’s personal record but whether it is appropriate for a long-serving police officer to be leading this review at all. The Home Office says he will be assisted by an advisory panel but, in the short time available, can there be adequate consultation with those who have legitimate interests in and concerns about the future of policing? Will the victims of crime (either survivors of sexual violence or retailers plagued by shoplifters) be heard? How will these superforces be scrutinised? The British model of policing by consent means those given powers of arrest, coercion and the use of force must be held accountable. Few doubt that the architecture of policing needs an overhaul, but should a policeman be overseeing that reform? As a former chief constable said to me the other day: “Police reform is far too important to be left to the police.” Link TK the article: thetimes.com/comment/column…

@SimonHoldaway1 She will have been advised by someone to do so. Very odd as you say.
English
@TimNewburn I do not understand why she has appointed Hogan-Howe. He was a very mediocre Commissioner with no imaginative or lasting reforms to his credit. He is the wrong person to be Chair of the review.

“Los Lobos Native Sons,” the definitive, authorized chronicle of one of America’s most enduring, genre-defying bands, screens its world premiere at @sxsw this week.

The message from the @premierleague couldn’t be clearer. If we think you’re an important part of our brand, we’ll only pretend to punish you. But if you’re Everton or Forest, guilty of a much lesser rules breach, we will try to relegate you. Transparent and indefensible

Serial offender that, like corporate criminals, gets hit with a meaningless fine. No points deduction unlike some clubs I could mention (ahem). The general corruption that is the Premier League in all its glory

Since 2003, Chelsea has lost money every year (breaking even just once) — & racked up 5 separate financial sanctions, making them England’s only repeat offender. Makes you wonder if Abramovich’s billions fueled creative accounting & rule-bending. #Chelsea #PL #FootballFinance

A little Cocteau Twins to accompany the strong fresh coffee this morning. Liz Fraser’s voice never fails to get me

The title is fitting given the storm outside. One of my favourite Dylan albums, to be washed down with strong fresh coffee. Dandy
