I’m old enough to remember when you were slating Corbyns stance on Russia for not making out that they were the Bogeyman.

I agree

So by that reasoning you must back the invasion of Iraq because it has strategical value to us.

Sort of the same. Couldn’t care if they go up, go down, go bust or whatever. I do find it funny that they get so riled over nothing though so sort of glad they are the way they are.

That is ultimately going to be Labour’s problem going into the next GE if they keep this direction of travel. I pointed this out to the campaigner who knocked on my door. The closer they align themselves to Sunak the less relevant voting labour will become for many. Makes no odds to me in many...

Starmers got bigger more basic issues anyway. Refusing to commit to higher taxes for the wealthiest in interviews this morning. I’d say that will do him more damage at the polls than dropping a previous election pledge to drop tuition fees that didn’t win them an election. If ever there was a...

Probably better to not commit to it in the first place only to renege on it once in power.

They’re being let down at school age first. Let’s prioritise that first is all I’m saying.

And it’s definitely something we should be aiming for. But right now I’d rather they prioritise teachers pay so my 14 year old was in school today. Or recognise that certain subjects such as IT should be recognised on it’s own so the pay reflects the skill set meaning both my 14 and 16 year olds...

TBF if it was unworkable in 2010 when the Lib Dem’s had to drop it entering the coalition then it’s definitely unworkable now. We’re in a far bigger mess as a country now than we were then. I’m behind the policy in principle not least because I have a 16 and 14 year old but the reality is school...

Got to be a better plan than kicking off 3 days early. Which is apparently the current plan ;)

Like Ukraine I voted in free, open elections. Russia doesn’t. The people of Ukraine voted to be closer to Europe. The despot dictator in Russia didn’t like it so invaded, first in a proxy war then in a full scale invasion. You seem to be oblivious to the fact that you had the option of voting...

I’m not sure what your point is. Are you saying we shouldn’t support Ukraine in defence of its own country because no one helped out Iraq?

And I don’t know anyone who doesn’t think that Tony Blair isn’t a war criminal, either at the time or retrospectively including a cousin of mine who fought in the first gulf war. I’m not sure what your point is unless you’re arguing that 2 wrongs make a right.

It’s kind of an irrelevant argument though. The fact is Putin wholesale has invaded another country. Another country that is a democracy and willing to fight for it. That’s just a fact.

For sure he’ll cut the funding, he is Putin’s Vichy president, or should that be First Lady? He’s certainly Putins bitch. Not sure it will end it, if anything it will drag it out longer. Not sure Europe has the luxury of turning their back on it. It’s on our continent and we’re already invested.

You mean Putin.

Ain’t it funny. Russia commits atrocities left right and centre, mass graves, mass war crimes including beheading and from certain quarters it’s all the west antagonised them, they shouldn’t poke the bear etc. a Ukrainian soldier does something that at the end of the day pails into...

I won’t believe he cares until I see him on the bench wearing a team tracksuit with DK on them :)

So many possible variables looking at this game. They may want to rest player’s ahead of the 2 legs. Then again is it’s more than possible that they might be playing us in those 2 legs so want to stamp their authority going into the ahead of the 2 legs. Then again they might not want to add the...
