    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    In fairness, the unions don't seem entirely convinced that Starmer isn't already backtracking on the workers' rights thing. Maybe he'd rather people weren't talking about it. Whenever I hear a Starmer "pledge", I find myself thinking of the Pirates' Code...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    It might, or might not, marginally get a few more votes for Starmer's version of the Labour party. Whether that's literally good for politics overall, now that's a whole different question...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    You're right, that's way below sixth form debate. More like year seven. I'm sure it's quite funny though.

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Which bit is a conspiracy theory? Starmer shifting the party substantially to the right? Starmer abandoning the pledges he made when elected leader, and many since? Elphicke, as far as I can see, hasn't apologised for anything she's said in the past about the Labour party or its policies, or...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Take your point, but at least the last two PMs stood for the party they were elected for.

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Just a minor amendment to your maths... Given the current rate of sexual scandals etc. the Tories seem to be prone to, there might be another dozen or so that get the boot before this government is done. 😁

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Regardless of the rights and wrongs of the individual MP, she was elected by her constituency as a Conservative, taking the Tory whip, and supporting a Tory manifesto. If she wants to stand under a different banner, then it should be put back to the electorate via a by-election. I'd say the...

    USSR invades Ukraine.

    Thanks, but that's not very honest. You're not actually listening to Ukrainian journalists, are you? You're trying to dig out examples of press suppression but completely ignoring the fact that the vast majority of Ukrainians (which would presumably include most journalists), do not want to...

    USSR invades Ukraine.

    So, absolutely no answer on how allowing Putin to take Ukraine by force improves democracy, reduces corruption, or enhances press freedom in that country then. That's because it's an obviously shit argument; literally the worst, weakest, most pathetic excuse ever for denying them support...

    USSR invades Ukraine.

    That is a piss poor argument, I'm sorry, and makes you and Sick Boy sound a lot like Putin apologists. You're making the same lame argument as Tucker Carlson here, does that not make your skin crawl even a little bit? Ukraine wasn't by any means a perfect country before its invasion by...

    USSR invades Ukraine.

    Your point being? Who would have predicted Ukraine surviving the first few days? Ukraine will inevitably lose if the west doesn't back them, that part is obvious. You seem to be using it as an excuse for letting a tyrant overrun a sovereign European democracy. I'd prefer to use it as a...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    You vote for a person based on what party they're representing, surely. Otherwise, as said elsewhere, why would prospective candidates tie themselves to party policies and discipline and have the party name printed directly next to theirs on the ballot paper. I'd bet a reasonably large number...

    New number one needed

    My theory is that an exceptional goalie, as opposed to an average one, will save you 15-20 goals over the course of a season. How much would it cost to sign an outfield player who could score that many?

    Gary Lineker

    There is nothing funnier that someone having some kind of deranged rant about "lack of respect", accusing others of being 'snowflakes'. Talk about thin-skinned and over-sensitive, it's like an internet version of the "The Princess and the Pea".😄

    Israel - Palestinian Conflict

    Forgot to add, has pushed Israel's greatest ally into vigorously lobbying for a two-state solution and brought the Palestinian issue to the world stage far more effectively than any of his opponents could ever manage. Netanyahu is like Trump, a very stable genius.

    Israel - Palestinian Conflict

    Hmm. Launching 300 drones and ballistic missiles without expecting any of them to get through is putting a lot of faith in Israel's defence capabilities. Apparently it will have cost Israel and the west around a billion pounds to shoot them all down (BBC's Jeremy Bowen stated anyway.). As for...
