Because we need a better LB

Does anyone think they should be? Most left wing people complain centrist Labour are too harsh on the poor, I’ve got to say yours is a rare take.

We can do better

This is always read media whining that they can’t join in the social media rumour mill and speculation fest TBH. I don’t buy the idea that the professional press should hold themselves to the same standards as boblotsanumbers on X. While a case is ongoing I don’t see the public interest in...

What would be policies that would show a party hasn’t abandoned the working man in your view?

We’re still in wash up…

I don’t think the development squad is a thing any more tbf

Calling Live Nation Big Tech for a start.

He’s up against a man literally richer than the king and it’s *his* working class credentials that are up for debate. Totally sensible questions not at all influenced by Tory nonsense though 🙄

Real “I dunno the scouts said he might be good in the future” vibes here

Good thread that highlights the problem with a lot of complaints about Labours electoral strategy. Corbyn won inefficient votes in safe seats. Starmer is winning votes where they are needed to win a majority. This is why when you campaign in a GE you target certain voters. Young liberal...

If we had say £4-5m to drop on a player Id much rather a CM or a CB than an AM I think.

Starmer is to the left of Blair. He’s taken Blair’s strategy of centrism on immigration/spending/crime but he goes much further on infrastructure than Blair did, and not through PFI. He’s less idolising of the finance sector than Blair, and not religious. I would be on Sure Start or something...

And that’s all this thread is trying to say really. He is actually the best in the squad at an important area of the game for his position and deserves recognition of that fact. I don’t buy the lazy complaints, all modern players throw their hand up these days, O’Hare spends half his game on the...
