The OBR is one of many unelected quangos that is steering government policy. Just out of curiosity, have you actually listened to what Cummings has had to say on the topic? One podcast pretty much sums up his views because he rams home the same points. It’s easy to dismiss him as being...

The OBR on the economy, for example. I’m sure we’d both agree that it should be scrapped. The same ‘politically impartial’ civil servants that have said they’d resign if Reform were in government. If you believe Cummings and people like Lord Frost, they froze the civil service out of Brexit...

Respectfully disagree. In my view, we’re at a juncture where the Blairite consensus is on its very last legs and Reform and the Greens are the chief beneficiaries of that because they’re trying to articulate an alternative route for the country. Clement Attlee opposed joining the EC because it...

Yang Min-Hyeok was in Jinseon last night which is a great Korean restaurant! 100% recommend it so anyone going out to a new restaurant!

I genuinely believe that Starmer and the Labour Party thought they’d swan into government and everything will just get better. So did much of the commentariat with the ‘the adults are back in charge’ sentiment that proved to be plainly wrong. The Tories deserved to be thrashed and so do Labour...

No, the anger has been building up for years. To some extent, Labour is a victim of circumstances but their policy program hugely unpopular. Several friends and family who voted Labour and the only person who doesn’t regret is a Labour Member.

If their parent clubs felt that strongly about it, they wouldn’t have approved the deals so quickly. More importantly, we also need to integrate the players into the team so why not throw them into a low importance game?

Unforced errors, yes I should’ve clarified that. But U-turns, I can’t think of too many high profile ones. I’m sure there will be a few examples but compared to this government - the speed of which Starmer’s government has introduced a policy to then U-turn is staggering. It’s something that’s a...

What’s bollocks in particular?

The Tories, for their faults, didn't make this many unforced errors and U-turns in their 14 years. The electorate has sussed out this government already and frankly, given Labour's vote share in the first place, they were never that popular to begin with.

That doesn’t mean he’s good enough to contribute. As for KKH, he’s been used mostly as a RW alongside MVE when coming off the bench. In that respect, not signing a winger has hurt our chances this season as you rightly point out that MVE has been overused. Although, MVE has basically played...

He’s not been underused, he’s just not at the level required yet. Nice touches here and there but otherwise hasn’t looked dangerous. There’s a player in there but at the top of the Championship, the stakes are too high for him to be given a lot of minutes.

Why? He wasn’t good for us. All due respect to the Danish League, it’s not as strong as the Championship.

By the end of this window, we need to be able to call upon a strong bench to get us through tight games. Something like: Dovin KKH Wolfenden Eccles Allen MKY Sakamoto Simms Haji That bench as a sample looks exceptionally stronger and you’ve got options there. That’s without signing a CM, LB or...

They are two separate points. Immigration is undeniably exacerbating areas that are impacting the cost of the living: - housing demand on house prices and rents - access to social housing, foreign born people are overs presented in social housing - wage depression - rising benefits bill, which...

Like Paterson’s goal v Pompey. Overall, hit was a pointless signing that offered little, but that goal secured 3 points that arguably is the difference between finishing in the Top 6 and not.

Structurally, the NHS wasn’t pioneered with today’s challenges in mind. Any tax funded public service is on a beating to none when the number of net-tax contributors is approaching being outnumbered by net-tax non-contributors (it’s approaching parity). It’s the same with the welfare state...

The prize for promotion is £200m it’s saving pennies on the pound by not ‘going for it’ this window. If didn’t get promotion, we’d all be sat here in May or June bemoaning the fact we didn’t push the boat out. We’re not risking all for a shot at the playoffs. We’re 5 points clear at the top...

Dan Neil never made sense to me on a permanent. It’s effectively a 6 month loan and back in the toy box.

It’s true though. He’s a promising player but that doesn’t mean he’s good enough for us to trust him in big games. A loan is best for all parties involved and we need extra support to guarantee success this season.
