I’ve seen enough that I’d have KKH > Bidwell/Brau should the need arise. The reason it probably hasn’t happened is because JDS has been in good form and available.

It’s a combination, obviously. Even if the entire Tory parliamentary party defected, you still another 200-220 MPs. The same logic applies to the Greens too should they be in a position to feasibly form a government.

They’ll be fielding 600+ candidates at the next election so a few MPs is hardly ‘stuffing their ranks’. In any case, how does any party convince the electorate that they’re ready to govern if the have 0 experience of governing. A lot of Starmer’s top team (Cooper, Reeves, McFadden, Miliband and...

He resigned in government… All politicians, irrespective of what colour rosette they wear, are self-serving and put their self-preservation as number one. There will be a rump of Labour MPs flocking to the Greens before the next election. If not before, then after they’ve all been wiped out. I...

Tbf to Jenrick, he’s been the most repenting of the Tory record in government. You can’t have it both ways, you can’t criticise Reform for having complete unknowns balls up running county councils and then slag them off to try and get Tory figures who’ve been in government. If Farage followed...

There wasn’t much opportunity for it before JDS’ red card because before then, the only game he missed was Wrexham where MVE was suspended. KKH would’ve played more of a LWB iirc for PNE last season so playing LB is slightly different. Against Charlton it was 3-4-1-2, so it’s probably fair to...

There are times we need ball winners in that midfield. If you push up so high and don’t win the ball back, you’re exposed. Case point being Birmingham’s 1st goal albeit, it was some brilliant attacking play from them. You can’t beat quick 2-3 first time passes like that - topped with a good...

His match rating has been consistently good all season, with or without Rudoni. He was out for Ipswich away game with illness and unsurprisingly, PNE was one of his worst games of the season and then he was average v Ipswich (H), which was the case for everyone.

I wouldn’t really call them establishment… outcast Tories, yes. Farage is on record saying he wants a hostile takeover of the Tories. It’s probably that the Greens will start to poach Labour Left MPs after the next GE if it became apparent that they will supplant Labour. You need some...

Anyone who fancies a laugh:

I’ve always like how she interviews and communicates her thought processes. I’m not plussed about Labour/Green voters questioning why we like her somewhat… I don’t like Polanski but can see his appeal to people on the left. Starmer never had any appeal, it was apparent that he was a pound shop...

The idea that Jenrick has had a damascene conversion to Brexit and on immigration is a bit of stretch. When you’re in the public eye, it’s v difficult to change your opinion genuinely without accusations of opportunism. I’m pretty sure he’s supposed to have said that he’ll lurch rightwards to...

I like Kemi Badenoch, it’s just unfortunate that the Tory brand is so damaged atm.

It would be 0 because Iran is a sanctioned country. I don’t understand why you’ve brought Israel into my comment about Adnan Hussain appearing to defend the Iranian regime. Irrespective of one’s opinions of the Israel-Palestine conflict, surely you have lower opinions of the Ayatollah and the...

I’m certainly less worried about a ‘Friends of Israel’ caucus than I am about a ‘Friends of Iran’ caucus. Particularly at a time the bodies are piling up in Tehran as people protest their government.

Yep, these pro-Gaza independent MPs are a disgrace. Adnan Hussain was implicitly defending the Iranian regime on X recently too. Bad faith operators and naturally, Corbyn jumps into bed with them.

I tend to buy into the idea that most things like this are honest mistakes or incompetence. No, I think the police are protecting a certain narrative they favour. This explains the extent they’ve covered this up and twisted the narrative to fit what they want. If you admit you have to ban...

Sectarianism is creeping into the UK and Europe has a real problem with radical Islam that’s growing. Middle East countries have been warning about this for decades now. Rory Stewart berated Dominic Cummings for saying that UAE were considering removing UK unis from their international...

I’m glad we’ve got PUSB and WLADITT because they’re unique songs to our team and city. When your hear ‘oh when the… come marching in…’ or ‘we’re the finest team, the world will ever see’ chants, it’s boring and copy and paste. I’d like it if some of our other chants about players were a bit...

It actually shows relative parity. It shows Hamer attempts more passes and at much lower % (because they're more progressive), with slightly better non-penalty xG + xA. A quick comparison shows that Torp beats Hamer in 23 out of 36 metrics on FotMob. In particular, in most defensive...
