Fairly uninspiring shortlist. The danger, of course, with picking someone from the shadow cabinet is that they could be seen as tainted by association and therefore easy pickings for the red tops. I’ve made my thoughts clear as to why Andy Burnham should be approached about taking on leadership...

Not directed at me - appreciated - but free broadband is a 2nd term policy, nationalisation of industry needs to be phased, 20 trees planted per minute 24/7 for the next 10 years or whatever policy was needs to be better thought through. Three headline policies that were quite evidently beyond...

Glad you semi-agree. To be honest I know little of Scargill and the battles so you may be right there. People my age know it anecdotally rather than directly. Don’t get me wrong, I’m sure there are plenty that side with their parents/grandparents(?) and feel the injustice, but there will be a...

I wonder how much timing plays with this. The mining crises are about 35 years ago now, therefore you’ve got an entire generation that may feel fairly unopinionated on the matter.

And I suppose that is the quandary. Whether there has been even the slightest change of opinion I don’t know - I like Corbyn but have come to the realisation over the last 2 years that he’s not the guy to win an election, and I certainly didn’t see it being this convincing! It’s evident a...

Well Andy Burnham has moved from 80/1 to 33/1 on the betting front, though I appreciate he doesn’t currently have a seat in the Commons and I was asking yesterday whether the Labour policies and processes mean he can or can’t stand. That’s who I’d be backing if he can be persuaded.

Marcus Jones is a fantastic constituency MP to be fair to him. It’s the only reason that Nuneaton has become a Tory stronghold.

This is why I speak of northern representation through the next leadership of the Labour Party. Don’t get me wrong, I understand that the Tories haven’t had to do that on this occasion but the swell of opinion around the fact that the Tories will help these northern communities out more needs to...

Come to terms with it fairly quickly if I’m honest, but I was gobsmacked that the majority was quite as big as it was polled last night. I had a look at the odds for next Labour leader this morning and it’s pretty depressing. A fair few of the frontrunners are shadow cabinet ministers who are...

Then Red Ken comes out with “the Jewish vote wasn’t very helpful”. For fuck’s sake you senile old muppet.

Absolute bloodbath. Heaven knows where Labour go from here.

Championship 'bubble waiting to burst' with clubs posting record losses in Premier League 'gamble' Over half of the teams in the Championship spend more on wages than they receive in income. What the fuck?

Having not seen any of the three Ipswich games, does Keane play up front on his own or is he partnered by another striker?

Latest figures available in June 2019 (as per the ONS) show us to actually be at 84% debt-to-GDP ratio. Why is it you’re acting as though the Tories haven’t announced spending plans of their own? Since 2010 they’ve seen government borrowing increase from around 60% to 84%, all the while slashing...

I was reliably informed that he was due to be sold to Leeds in that January we were in League 2 until the injury happened. Shows how pivotal he became in a very short space of time. Glad to see him back and gives us an option to play with wingers (well, 1 winger) again.

Don’t know of him ever being at Cov. Might have been 10+ years ago.

First time I’ve seen that clip (I didn’t watch the interview, may do later today) and I think his response is the correct one. In that circumstance you’re fighting an ideology, a state of mind. Killing the leader doesn’t stop that ideology - if anything, it perpetuates it as he becomes a...

Increased exclusivity, price inelasticity, monopoly. If you can’t see that that chain is fucking horrendous for the ‘consumer’ there’s no hope.

When are the other interviews? Didn’t know anything about last night’s one

Still not sure what the link he posted when I picked him up on the false information that Labour saw unemployment rates of almost 11% was about but there you go.
