I agree with you on the lobbying/working thing. Trouble is if you pay them more it doesn't put off the power hungry - it just makes it more appealing because they get paid more. I definitely think their pay/pay rises should be linked to economic conditions such as a multiplier of average wage...

Then at some point consider voting for someone else. If you just buy into the two party system you just embolden them both to move towards the extremes safe in the knowledge that people will just suck up their worst bits rather than vote for the other. Since the LD implosion due to their poor...

Are you confusing a leader with a dictator? Churchill didn't just get to do whatever he wanted in WWII - it had to go through war cabinets etc. Many historians think his greatest strength was not really interfering with the military strategy and letting those more expert in that field have final...

Although I imagine it's still quite a bit more expensive have you looked at the Albany Theatre? There's also the Coal Vaults etc around the Canal Basin although I'm not sure of capacity.

Biamou has been the thing making us more effective in the final third since he came back. Others can work well off him, he makes a nuisance of himself and he can chip in with the odd goal.

Apart from the best goal per minutes ratio of our strikers in the last season he was available - including McNulty. I think our first choice pairing should be Max and Godden, but after that it's pretty much open season. Hiwula hasn't been seen next to Max yet and I would be interested for that...

Problem with that was taking Baka off to still provide a bit more of a physical presence. Should've replaced Shipley and Westbrooke IMO.

Disappointing result in the end but we've also had a few where we've sneaked a goal at the death we arguably didn;t deserve. Provided we don't lose to Ipswich and can beat Shrewsbury it won't be too bad a result.. Subs - I also felt Hiwula and O'Hare could've made a difference with pace but...

What about all the other months of the season?

3 ex city in their starting line up and one on the bench. No McNulty.

Starting XI as expected. Good to see the bench with a bit more experience, inc Hiwula and Allen. Also got McCallum so the heart thing, as expected, was nonsense.

Corbyn had a number of his answers thrown back at him and told he wasn't answering the question. But he kept his composure better than Johnson and maintained a level of decorum that stopped it getting really nasty. Johnson just got annoyed and frustrated and went confrontational and it...

Yes. He is one MP. The MP for Islington North. He doesn't get all the Labour MP's votes to cast just because he's the leader. He gets ONE vote in the chamber. As leader he has a bigger voice and can influence party policy more than most, but he doesn't just get to choose it himself.

Thanks for the straight answer but to me that makes no sense. One MP would say he was campaigning for what you wanted. The party overall could be totally against that and 200+ MP's would vote against it in parliament because of party policy. Yet you'd vote for that party because of that one MP?

Why? Labour heartlands predominantly voted leave. So if the Labour party were for leave and their voters want to leave, they'd just say they were for leave wouldn't they? But they haven't. Why would that be? The most obvious reason is that the party want to remain but really can't afford to...

They were responding specifically to the point that Labour would negotiate a new deal and then campaign against that deal in favour of remain. That was their position when they announced the policy that they seem to have backtracked on.

Jo Swinson is showing why Labour being relatively non-committal on Brexit isn't that bad. Getting it in the neck from both leavers and remainers. On that subject she could say about unlaterally voting "if LD got a Commons majority you could clearly take that as a mandate that the country wanted...

It isn't crap - you argued both of those points I made. I just want an answer to the question - why is what Corbyn personally thinks and would do so important rather than what the party would do? Would you still vote labour if Corbyn said he was for remain even if Labour wasn't?

He said he personally would be neutral. When the "renegotiated deal and 2nd ref' policy was revealed, it was stated that the Labour policy was to then back remain in the ref. I remember it well because political commentators and topical news shows such the News Quiz had a field day on how do...

You've accused me of choosing to make out I have said something completely different to what I have before. You accused me of calling you a leaver when I did no such thing and when I explained your misunderstanding you then said I didn't mean that at all. I literally explained it to you and you...
