Not a huge fan of the CL - group stage generally dull. But last 16 draw (certainly on paper) looks huge. Dortmund v PSG, Real Madrid v Man City, Atalanta v Valencia, Atletico Madrid v Liverpool Chelsea v Bayern Munich, Lyon v Juventus, Tottenham v Leipzig, Napoli v Barcelona

Easy win over chargers. Defence strong, improved after Rhodes got injured. Back up running backs finished the job. Like Boone - just doesn't get enough chances.

That's one of the key points of this election. Never make assumptions about voters.

Going to be interesting to see actually how many voted and who they voted for. For a while it seemed there was going to be a swell of young voters who had been particularly vocal about the Brexit issue. I honestly thought the turnout would be in excess of 70% although the weather may have...

A lot of opinion that he thought he could achieve the same as the 1973 strikes and force a change in govt.

Or possibly some of these communities were mining areas where Wilson had closed the pits or maybe Corbyn & momentum reminded them of scargill and his NUM. Will Remain areas ever forgive the Tories? I think you're right that the scars for many eventually heal and people focus on what they...

It was an interesting viewpoint from Kate hoey and one of the campaign organisers (can't remember his name) that Labour had become far too focused on larger metropolitan constituencies at the expense of other smaller constituencies.

think it's more to do with Johnson just shrugs it off but Corbyn gives the appearance that it gets to him. It all has the feeling of bullying. Bullies are encouraged if they think they are getting to you but move onto a new target if they think they aren't getting to you

Already expressed my feelings on Dennis Skinner on election night.

I think there are plenty of traditional Tories in there just drowned out by the noisy ERG clique much the same as more moderate parts of the Labour Party have been by overshadowed noisier groups in their party.

Reread I wasn't addressing your comment on Corbyn's approach. More a continuation of my earlier post on the different media approaches of Corbyn and Johnson.

You make it sound like there's only one newspaper. Mirror, Guardian and Independent have all given Corbyn support. All these papers have carried columnists and stories that have attacked Johnson's character - whether it be on his changeable support for Brexit, his personal life or other issues...

Her screeching acceptance speech was just embarrassing. I do get amused with these Labour candidates/TV talking heads that are saying the manifesto was the same as the one that "nearly" won them the last election. They were 55 seats behind the Tories and 64 off a majority in 2017.

I admire politicians with firm principles (of any political hue) that aren't based on offensive -isms. The media may have given him a rough ride but a fair bit was fed from inside the Labour Party. Nobody from the Tory side was leaking Andrew Fisher's email for example. His association with...

How about some of these Labour MPs who lost their seats in Leave areas stop blaming Corbyn and put their hands up and say "my fault I didn't follow my constituents wishes". Corbyn is well-known for following his own views and defying the party whip in the past (and probably in the future) - so...

My fear is we end up down the American road. Have people seen how they run their campaigns (at all levels)? The TV/multi media ads literally libelling each other and not caring as they know the election will be done and the supposed organizations making the libellous claims wound up before...

What - another "blizzard of lies"?

Tax gap stands at around 35bn per year. Avoidance needs addressing as well over 6bn a year

not true. Some remainers couldn't bring themselves to vote elsewhere the same as some Leavers couldn't bring themselves to vote Tory.

fair enough. Good to see brainwashing & stupidity is only a one-way street.
