If I was a member of the Labour Party I'd be furious. Has a party ever been so out of step with its members? Corbyn won by a landslide in the leadership election. Latest polls show that if he stands in the next leadership election he will win by an even bigger landslide. So what are they going...

See Boris has finally surfaced but rather than addressing the voters he chose to make his statement via his paid for column in the Telegraph. Was barely off the presses before the rest of Europe, and in particular Germany, were making it clear he had no chance of getting what he laid out. The...

I think what they mean is you can't hand cash over on the gate. Apparently it doesn't always find its way to the club. From what I understand there will be a much bigger on the day ticketing operation with ticketmaster staffing it and managing it.

You can still pay on the day according to the website.

When it a World Cup or Euro's are we usually back and playing friendlies while the tournament is on? Know they always start training at around the same time but the games seem earlier.

Basically Bosman won't but similar FIFA and UK rules will so there is unlikely to be any noticeable difference. The bigger issue will be around immigration rules and the impact they have on work permit requirements for European footballers.

Indeed and a big deal was made of that at the time. Now they are talking about something different. I suspect the angle that will be played by the EU is that Scotland is already in the EU and have voted to stay therefore if they wish to do so they are already a member and can stay on the same...

Problem last time was the only option was AV and neither side really engaged in any decent campaigning. Whole thing passed by unnoticed by most.

I'm increasingly of that opinion. The leave campaign have admitted they have no plan moving forward saying it is the responsibility of the PM. However Cameron isn't going to do it and hasn't, as he promised all throughout the campaign, started the leave process immediately upon a leave result...

They didn't say they didn't want them, they said they would have to follow the same procedure as everyone else.

Who the EU? I guess you could look at it that way. They said if Scotland left the UK they would not be able to join the EU without going through the usual process. What they are now saying is that Scotland hasn't voted to leave the EU and therefore should not be forced to do so. Suspect we'll...

But how would you account for that? Voting is anonymous, you couldn't somehow remove Scottish votes. You'd have to have another vote.

The Alton Towers one was pretty easy to see what had happened but this one looks like its come off the tracks and crashed to the ground. How does that happen? Wouldn't there be some redundancy to prevent that?

You also have to factor in that membership has shot up since Corbyn became leader, they would all get a vote this time round. And then you'd have people who aren't currently members joining up to vote for him. Can't see a leadership election being anything but a disaster for Labour.

That's exactly what is needed. The FPTP system just does not work for our multi party system. Too many people don't vote as they feel it is pointless or vote tactically. They use FPTP in the US but that really is a 2 party election so not such a big problem. They used it in Canada but are...

I'm not sure that moving more towards the centre would work again. When Blair did it they managed to present it as a new way forward for Labour, that won't work again. You already see phrases like Red Tories being thrown around. It would be a big gamble. Lib Dems moved that way and got wiped out...

Its a very interesting situation. I have no doubt that should Corbyn stand again he would leave. If the PLP deny the rank and file the opportunity to vote for their preferred candidate then it sends a very clear message that the PLP couldn't care less about the wishes of the party members. Why...
