With respect, the pot is calling the kettle black. Starmer and Reeves’ personal ratings and the overall polling of ‘is the country moving in the right direction’ tells a v different story. Starmer is more unpopular than Sunak after 1 year in the job. Sunak’s ratings were a record low and this...

What does Starmer stand for? He is a chameleon and will tell the electorate what they want to hear. A leftie when running for leadership and a moderate to the general public to become PM. It is also why this government has made so many U-turns already because he’s also too weak to see out his...

So taking the left wing of the Labour Party for granted? The Tories neglected the Tory right and they’re facing genuine extinction-level polling because Reform is hoovering up their vote. It’s touch and go for their survival as we speak. Labour got 35% of the vote to win and governments v...

This government truly is the antithesis of Thatcher… ‘The government is for turning’

Its like when Obama mocked Trump by saying ‘you’ll never be president’…

You’re v dismissive of the threat the Greens pose to Labour. It’s as if you haven’t learned from the rise of Reform at all. Do you think in 2020/21 that the tories felt Reform would get 15% of the vote by 2024? Absolutely not. I know this because a friend of mine worked for a Tory MP. They...

To be honest, it’s a dumb policy from Reform and some of their policies economically that are populist are just a reflection of their growing ‘coalition’ of voters. All in all, they’re risking credibility as a government in waiting and as the opinion polls are showing, a Reform government is a...

His stats are arguably better than MVE’s and PNE conceded less goals than us. I’d like to see MVE stay but if we sold him for a large profit and bought KKH as a replacement using a fraction of the profit… it wouldn’t be terrible business.

The last World Cup and Euro winning teams have managers who were their national team’s U21/20 team managers before. Even Southgate, for all his faults, lead to our best results in tournaments came from the U21s. Then consider winning managers like Löw and Santos had experience in the...

Well, his stint with the first team was good minus one blip following an experimental team. Frankly speaking, the best international managers do not tend to be elite managers from the club game. It seems England fans in particular are obsessed with having ‘elite’ managers.

If Carsley wins the U21 Euros again… surely he’s the man post-Tuchel to take the role.

Same boat here! My cycling and running is reasonably strong. I used to swim at primary school and was probably a better swimming then than I am now! I’m probably going to join a triathlon team, work on the swimming and hopefully do an event next year!

How is it meaningless? This is nonsensical point to make. You’ve got record levels of funding and increasing headcount in the public sector whilst less services are being delivered. You can blame ‘austerity’ as the boogey man but frankly, funding for the NHS and other areas still increased...

Let’s assume that’s true. The public sector was providing the same services in 1997 (healthcare, teaching, policing and so on) so explain how it’s not a bad thing that productivity has gone down?! We’ve had a tech revolution so how productivity hasn’t gone up should worry anyone.

Low income skilled migration certainly wouldn’t have helped. We’re one of the least automated economies in the developed economies. Ironically, Reeves’ employer NI raise has raised the costs of labour so businesses are accelerating the drive for automation (think more self-checkouts etc) as...

As a whole, the public sector productivity isn’t recovering expected. It was more productive in 1997 than it is now. I don’t think everyone being in the office would automatically fix that, but the figures in the public sector are particularly damning and something needs to change drastically...

I just can’t see being a product the club would expect to make much in ST wise. For corporations, the box is the better route and the balcony offering is a bit better for punters looking for a ‘premium’ product. The Mahou experience was fun when I did it, but the novelty would wear off...

To be honest, it seems like a cash cow for day trippers like away fans (who can’t get tickets) and corporate events. £150 a pop for unlimited booze till half time, a good meal and the game itself is not bad value. Most boozy away days would cost £150 in total for an adult if you include...

There’s clearly a balance to be struck which is why most workplaces does a hybrid go 3:2. I don’t disagree with much of this and 5 office days a week for me wouldn’t be practical. In relation to the civil service, the specific issue here is that the public sector productivity is declining. In...

The seats are central tbf… the lounge itself is to the side. It was a good experience as a one off, but much prefer being in the stands with fellow proles.
