Come on evo. ‘Failed’ is a strong word. To get to a World Cup semi and losing a Euro final on pens is hardly failure Failure is getting knocked out of Euros by Iceland in final 16 in 2016 or not even qualifying in 2008 or finishing bottom in our World Cup Group in 2014 with one point

Agreed. Just having some stability and certainty should be sufficient to increase investment…subject to anything scary in the labour manifesto (unlikely)

Crazy times. Said a few times before the biggest mistake Sunak made was making Bravermann Home Secretary and not purging the right of the party as soon as he became leader. They never wanted him and held him responsible for Boris going, so he may as well have got rid and presented it as a...

Johnson fucked himself though ultimately. I’ve said before the biggest mistake he made was not having a strong, capable team around him. He leaned towards yes men and women, many of whom just weren’t very good. He could’ve been a reasonable figure head leader in better times with a strong team...

They were wrong to bring Truss in ! To be fair Sunak/hunt have cleaned up the mess economically. Unfortunately Sunak is the least political politician I’ve ever seen and not sure he has a grand vision - decent caretaker but maybe not much more. Whoever took over from Truss and Johnson was...

Yeah, as DOD suggested there might well be a lurch right which would make Tories unelectable for many. Also, inflation is finally settling, rates should be cut in coming months and a combo of those things should hopefully see at least a small bounce in growth. Labour will benefit from this so...

Heard about this on LBC earlier. He’s also got an ‘interesting’ take on women. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cjmmrwexv4ko.amp People really want an increase in support of idiots like this just so the Tories get a few less seats in an election they’re going to comfortably lose anyway ?! Crazy

It’s a fair question. Probably a bit of both. Politicians can’t solve everything but can at least try to address some concerns/issues that flow from globalisation. On the flip side, we as populations, can’t expect all the benefits and none of the negatives

I know i link Syed regularly on here but it’s because he’s logical and mostly talks sense (he’s Labour/left leaning and a remainer just incase people wonder) Farage is a snake, but if we were honest on migration he’d have no fangs...

What I’ve heard from people who operate in the sector is planning committees fuck about that much, looking for the perfect rather than the practical/acceptable, by the time permissions are granted sometimes 2-3 years later and/or with unrealistic changes to original planning, it’s economic to...

It’s ridiculous. It’s bad enough not getting straight answers from Tories or Labour but Reform are just making it up as they go along, nothing adds up. People cheering them on from the sidelines, mainly because of the damage it will do to the Tories, just don’t get it. Theyre encouraging the...

Yeah, the major problem for him was when he was stuck on left hand side either as left CB or middle of three but teams would push him that side. The lad was continually played out of position, didn’t really get a break due to internationals and yet always gave his best. Still young as well. ps...

Macrons just called a snap election . Must be catching https://news.sky.com/story/amp/president-emmanuel-macron-dissolves-french-national-assembly-and-calls-for-snap-election-13150407

Some rancid middle/leg bowling first few overs. Big score

Can’t knock that if true. Happy to keep a second house though but need to change make up of it. Also remove non attendees below certain threshold

Yeah, not sure if it’s that high but pretty sure both have a hole during next Parliament unless cuts are made. Can’t see Labour cutting so they will have to find cash from tax rises

Yeah, the ‘no tax rises’ in next Parliament position from both main parties is bollocks The one thing that I’m wondering though is whether Labour hope that maybe getting a closer trading arrangement with the EU might boost gdp/growth thereby reducing any hole. If I was them I’d explore this.

Agree with this. Would be a big mistake but they’re currently the party of self harm so wouldn’t shock me at all. Also by moving labour to centre left it makes it very difficult for Tories to operate in that centre space, especially after 14 years in government, so they might naturally edge...

Yeah, I think he could do a great job almost between a usual 8 and 10. Providing a bit more midfield cover than a palmer or ohare but hopefully as much as a goal/assist threat. It’s why I’m not fussed about us looking for a direct replacement for ohare as I don’t think it will quite fit our...

Shambolic and embarrassing. As you say who the fuck is advising him but even so, he should know himself that some things are more important. Farage will have a field day
