Agree. They’ve absolutely shat the bed. Someone should tell them that polls 42 months from a GE don’t really matter a great deal. I’ve said before, they feel like they’re still in campaign mode rather than governing mode. Edit: 42 months, not 30.

Ok I’ve misunderstood. I thought he was planning to go on podcasts; didn’t realise he had a podcast.

….but good tv, no?

Fair. Are there any UK-based podcasts that you would suggest are ‘good’ targets? I’m not aware of a Rogan-equivalent (not that I listen to that, to be honest). So could it be that the UK podcast landscape doesn’t have the same reach/impact?

Doug just walking round the changing room calling everyone cucks.

I’m genuinely curious on this - that was Trump’s (successful) strategy for his presidential campaign. Why are we to assume that it wouldn’t be the case here? I appreciate the ‘party standing’ angle is different but the method of campaigning surely either works or it doesn’t?

“Outstanding” is an absolutely bonkers take.

Seems there is a fascination with wingers who completely slow the play down. Rashford was doing the same.

It’s fine though, he wasn’t being facetious with that prior comment.

Doug’s got his hands full at the moment.

Looking solely at the financial markets position, I genuinely don’t see where the government can go. If they cut welfare spending significantly they get the political pressure of acting against their members’ (and many MPs’) beliefs. If they raise main taxes they break a manifesto pledge. If...

That is tragic. You’ve abandoned your centrist beliefs to become right wing because of others’ thoughts. Have more confidence in what you believe.

So you believe Shoosmiths are complicit in this swindle? All of the strange bluster seems to be about the valuation being on the IHT threshold, but I’m struggling to see what relevance that has to anything.

Morgan Whittaker is a great case study of that. xG of 11.3 over the course of the 2023/24 season at Plymouth and ended with 20 goals - since that season he’s scored 4 goals, and still yet to score for Middlesbrough in his first 20 games.

Yes, he’s not going to be posting that kind of overperformance but you’d expect he will get at least a couple more free kicks and long-range goals throughout the season, which by their nature are low xG chances.

I just don’t think he’s shown enough on a consistent basis for a PL club to be seriously considering him at present. Love what he’s doing here but he needs to deliver over the course of a full season for those higher up to take note - hopefully that delivery sees us promoted and then it makes...

If you take her at face value, the Manchester home has been modified to cater for his disability. Hence the reason they have this nesting arrangement and the perceived need to ensure he has right to remain should anything happen to either/both of them. Why the other property needs to be in...

Can pay council tax on 2 properties despite only owning one as far as I’m aware. I should just set out that I’m not condoning it but I’m not of the belief, as MMM seems to be, that this is some mad aggressive tax planning. Just think it’s a bit of a fuck-up.

Or, quite simply, the truth in a practical sense. She didn’t own another property. Her child’s trust did. Policitian not being across the minutiae of tax policy isn’t a fun story tho.

Given the recent internal changes, I wouldn’t put it past him/his staff being behind the media briefing.
