    Genius move to have the Blast quarter finals the same time as an England v India T20. And after Cain claiming on Sky the Blast ticket sales were better than ever this year despite the tickets being reduced to a tenner Edgbaston looks more than half empty. Wonder if there will be any England...

    why the fuck did these people take jobs, did they think he was suddenly going to change?

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    When is summer recess? Is there an argument from the Labour side to hope this gets strung out to the summer and all the focus is in Johnson and then into conference season.

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    no idea, is there a difference between what is expected behaviour and what the rules can actually force? If he seriously refuses to go how difficult can he make it?

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    maybe the idea is its argued there's no clear alternative so a general election is called, or maybe they just think he's completely lost it and will do anything he can to prolong his time as PM. Could he, at least in theory, leave the Conservatives, end this term of parliament for the summer...

    BBC floating the idea he could resign from the Conservatives but not resign as PM. Would love to say that's ridiculous but at this point nothing would be a surprise.

    Liz Truss sticking by him is a weird one. Its pretty clear she has leadership ambitions but staying on the sinking ship can't help those.

    Women's Euros 2022

    how many presenters do they need? I'm glad we've got these two to tell us the crowd were happy when England scored.

    why are we having a VAR check if there's goal line technology, if the goal line tech isn't reliable why is it being used?

    Is he not going to play any red ball? He was on about making himself available for tests the other week. Guess even if he’s not signing as a red ball player he can still be used if he needs game time

    Be interesting to see if other sides try and copy this style of play.

    Best TV shows or movies you can recommend

    This is the problem with the Star Wars shows and trying to have shows about already known characters but stay within the existing storylines. You know nothing major is going to happen. Found it enjoyable enough tho, I think because its Star Wars some people have very high expectations. Just...

    Its not a surprise when you've been pushing for years that you have a stand where people get absolutely hammered and behave like idiots that you end up with problems like this. Thankfully it seems confined to one stand and therefore easily avoided and doesn't spill over outside the ground but...

    Maybe not the best day for Cain to go on Sky and boast about how inclusive Edgbaston is and how well trained the stewards are to deal with any issues that do come up. Reports of Indian fans being racially abused and when it was reported tot eh stewards they told the fans being absued to sit down...

    Safe Standing Area

    There's pretty much zero chance of Wasps paying to do this so even if they are happy to have it in the stadium we'll be paying for it. And it absolutely won't be in the naughty corner so no doubt the club would pay out to have it implemented and then get nothing but complaints about it being in...

    I'd like to think it was people who were genuinely want to go who rush to get tickets as they are available online not long after the announcement but then realise they can't for whatever reason but I suspect a decent chunk go to people who then try to sell them on.

    The problem with this free tickets thing that seems to be the go to on day 5 now is all the tickets are immediately snapped up but there's loads of empty seats. Why not make it adults a tenner, kids a quid and all the money to charity. Raise a few quid and make sure people with tickets are...

    Bairstow is in amazing form and the moment and Root is being Root but being England you're never convinced that one wicket won't lead to three very quickly.
