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.

I’ll be fair to him, I wasn’t keen at all until I saw him live. Actually pretty good.

I try to steer clear of the mud flinging but you’re making it very difficult. You said unemployment reached nearly 11% under Labour. I show you data that says it was less than half that. What is the point of your link?

It was nowhere near 11% under Labour. ONS has the unemployment position at 5.3% when Labour lost control in May 1979.

Then it’s a higher cost. Deal with it or find something else that does the same job. Basic economic method of tackling negative externalities. If there is a gap in the market then there will be development of products to fill that gap. Take your point on pension funds but ultimately you could...
