It’s often the poorest in society that has to deal with the consequences of mass, low skilled immigration. This is something the traditional trade unionist left actually understood. Border control is not a left-right issue. It’s been made a one because it’s only the political Right in the UK...

Far from it Pete. The last thing this country needs is rioting. Let’s be honest, your post that I replied to originally, implies that these riots are happening because of people (Reform/Farage) stoking up hatred. We’ve spoken on this topic before, there’s a reason traditionally centre-left...

This is scaremongering of a different kind. Net migration is 476k and not everyone is working in the NHS or public services. This has become a self-fulfilling prophecy because if your population increases (driven by net migration), you need more people to work in public services - it’s a cycle...

Would it make it any better if there was vigilante justice against Donaldson and his wife? The data being released from the Home Office and across Europe (Sweden, Germany, Finland and Norway) is v uncomfortable. In short, if you have migration from areas that are not safe for Women such as...

… or, if people’s legitimate concerns are ignored for long enough, it creates a tinderbox in your society and the chickens are come to roost, so to speak. The electorate has elected government after government to cut net migration and this hasn’t happened. If these issues don’t get resolved...

Same, pretty sure most in my posse haven’t renewed yet and fully intend to.

What? Senegal are ranked 19th in the world… 😂 I made those points in relation to playing teams like Andorra and Latvia.

Between 2-0 and 4-0 we just didn’t defend. Before then, we didn’t do anything to hurt Hungary - we had 10 shots, 2 on target with 69% possession. In fairness, we needed to win iirc but the game snowballed and they just looked on the beach, just as they did v Andorra at the weekend. They

I’m keeping a level head because all that matters is qualification and then the World Cup. My concern is that the level competition is so low, the team won’t be tested sufficiently before the World Cup. Roy Keane just mentioned it on ITV; Tuchel needs to be really hone in on his best team. Let...

No, the 4-0 was played at Molineux. Which makes it worse to be honest. We lost away too, 1-0.

I’ve never left a football game so disgusted. I nearly left early at 2-0 to make an earlier train that day and regret not doing so… Look, we’ve got a world class manager now… the only way he improves on Southgate is if he wins something. The bar is set that high now. I just hope we don’t get...

If we get promoted, absolutely. I genuinely think Carsley would be good manager at international level. If TT didn’t stay beyond the World Cup, he should have a crack at it full time. As a whole, I’m not convinced elite club managers make the best international managers. Objectively, Tuchel...

Liam Delap should be in the next few camps if he gets off to a good start at Chelsea. Sipping on my copium here, Spain’s manager got off to a rocky start, losing 2-0 v Scotland and they went on to dominate the Euros as dark horses. I’m hoping TT is on a similar trajectory. Senegal are the best...

If anything, he needs to find a consistent team that he can rely on to win games. This is a petty example, but playing Jones at RB v Andorra is pointless. At least when Southgate played Trent at CM, he intended to actually play him there in a major tournament (which failed ofc). Tuchel talks a...

Ngl, I’m hoping this is just teething problems…

I’m certain the Lib Dems exchanged backing the tuition fee increases in exchange for the AV referendum. I may off the mark because this purely ‘off the top of my head recall’. If I’ve recalled correctly, what a calamitous decision from a ‘grown up’ like Nick Clegg.

I know right, some of the most stupid people you’ll ever meet have BAs, MAs or PhDs… 😂

It happened in Maidenhead and Windsor this last election too. Two seats I got an insight in because a judo mate of mine (Lib Dem) campaigned in Maidenhead and my old uni mate (Tory) was involved in the campaign for the Windsor seat. In both seats, there was a lot of tactical voting to oust the...

That’s true, but then what options is there at CM? You’ve got capable players defensively, but in terms of players who create chances, get goals and assists… it’s lacking quite a lot.

The Lib Dems is a strange one, they don’t neatly fit in the ‘left’ category per se. Traditionally, the Lib Dems tended to do well against the incumbent party of government. Right now, what do they even stand for? They’re an effective local party machine that’s good at campaigning on local...
