    Rumour from the boardroom

    the fact it has happened without a protest speaks volumes. Would you protest when half of the fans ended up at Birmingham. strangely enough this may have a positive impact because it is a sign that fans don’t like the piss taken out of them.. To take the club out twice is not worth fighting for...

    New Labour Leader

    Surely any new leader needs to be the person most likely to bring Labour votes back. Not the ones that sucked up to Corbyn or were in his inner circle. so forget Starmer, Rayner and others. People will return to the Labour Party if the Tories fail or they present a better Manifesto...

    New Labour Leader

    Rayner and long bailey annoy me for different reasons. Rayner needs Gelding. She’d be ok if she could just take the nasty Labour snarl away...I saw her on the last debate and if she’d been just that little bit more compose (rather than sounding like she was bollocking her husband?) I would have...

    New Labour Leader

    Keir Starmer....who seemed to go very quiet towards the end of the campaign. Jess Phillips. A Midlander who is not afraid to speak. Lisa Nandy...the not so obvious choice.

    They failed on the democratic bit...sadly.

    Or perhaps the moderate form their own breakaway party...pretty quickly If possible. Then the next election will see the rest off. But they won’t win any election until momentum is stopped. It could take 15 years.

    I think a lot of people were tired of unions. Particularly car manufacturing. I read a stat that Red Robbo was involved in 530 strikes in the late 60s / seventies. The members turned and eventually went back to work. Thatcher came at the time when people needed change and she had the perfect...

    All those sons and daughters of miners with a bloody good reason to hold grudges, decided to vote Tory... it’s a sign of the times that people are prepared to vote with their heads rather than hearts.

    Looking at the seats contested by The Brexit Party. Most of them were in constituencies with big Labour majorities and were of no significance in the overall result. All the fuss about Brexit handing the election to Labour were a facade IMO.

    I hope he’s been looking at the correct stacks of ballot papers. Could be a resignation speech.

    Yep. Well hidden. Once Rees Mogg put his foot in it he went straight to detention. Johnson was viewed as the better of two dodgy candidates. Plus Corbyn isn’t a leader. They’ll have to dig deep to find an electable person.

    I hope not. Even the membership gave up on striking because they only worked 10 months a year. Maybe that was labours plan for reducing the working week to an average of 32 hours...it worked in the seventies with the strikes.

    Corbyn, MacDonnell, Abbott, Starmer, the shadow cabinet. Labour needs to stop shouting and start talking to the people. And perhaps stop being in an echo chamber.

    Heart says not Conservatives. Head says not Labour. The country has had 10 years of austerity. And possibly a few more to come. The influx of people from Europe since 1997 has contributed to this. I saw a figure of between 8 and 12 million more people. No wonder it takes three weeks to...
