On the subject of politician football fans I walked behind Alastair Campbell when leaving the CBS after our game against Burnley last year.

Also an obvious genuine fan but I await BSB and Grendels judgement. No doubt he’s pretending to support Burnely because of Iraq.

If they get elected it isn’t me you should be blaming. Government net approval of -50 is fucking horrific.

You realise you’re part of that right?
I will be blaming you and any other self proclaimed leftist who joined right wing nonsense attacks from day one and haven’t stopped. The purpose of a system is what it does. And you are anti left.

Starmer planned to steal my wife’s PIP and my MP ignores our correspondence. Tell me why either deserve my vote?

When two thirds of the country disapprove of how the government is performing shmmeee still finds a way of blaming it on ordinary people instead of the people in charge. To achieve that in the space of a year with a huge majority is frankly extraordinary.

If they fail to get re-elected it will be because they've failed to make any genuine change to the country despite having a massive majority in parliament.
Of course most of the media is unfriendly, it is for every Labour government - but chopping right (almost instinctively) on so many major decisions has inevitably cost them support from the left too. Which, notably, doesn't seem to worry the leadership at all.
You can't blame the left for Starmer's choices. This was visible from a long way off.

Another Labour let down as rail fares jump
Labours move towards Great British Railways looks like another failure - as rail fares are set to go up again. So much for nationalisation.

I agree - actual nationalisation with a transport strategy is fine. Just pretending it is and still treating consumers as commodities is embarrassing and fools no one. Well a couple of people maybe.

They don't.
Other companies are also included, Brexit bounce,still this shortfall seems to amount to a scarily similar number to lost trade,a war with Russia that the same bloke who got Brexit done seemed to want to wage, don't get me started.Just as well that Reeves isn’t in charge of Tesco

The cost of food shopping has become a bit ridiculous for most things except vegetables. Certainly going out to eat just isn’t worth it without an offer/voucher.
I've found myself eating a lot less meat recently, not because I am going vegan but I look at a pack of chicken breasts for 6 quid and think fuck that.

Is eating out that bad compared to years ago? You can still get a decent 2 course meal for £30 each person in a good establishment which I am sure is similar to a few years ago.

£30 each is too steep I think. We aim for £20 each which wasn’t difficult to find until probably the last few years, at least without a deal on.
One or two places in ‘leafy’ Leamington we like can still do that.

Well yeah if you're going in Leamington it's going to be more.

“Something might have happened and didn’t so I’m working hard to get in the people who want to do even worse” absolutely clown politics.

No. As someone political and claiming to be left wing despite all evidence advocating against the only left wing option for government is clown politics.
Spending your time making things up about said government is just pathetic. You are actively working towards electing a Reform government. Because you’re a child and since the man you loved lost you’ve done nothing in the political threads but play pound shop Grendel and pretend to have some moral high ground because you think Kier Starmer can stop a genocide in Gaza.
Edit: And as you’re now carrying your psychosis over to the football side I’ll address that here too. Yes I’m a Labour supporter. Because I’m left wing. I want good things for the vulnerable and poor and a functioning economy. And Labour are the only vehicle for that for a host of systemic reasons.

You rate a PM doing a bad job but not an owner or manager doing a good one. That’s all there was to it.

Do enjoy a good deal tbf and will keep that in mind. Just struck me how expensive it was to have a bowl of soup in some places, £8 is the going rate in 'leafy' Leamington.
