On current trajectory there's a strong chance that Reform come close to matching the Tories in raw vote share, if not actually beating them. Post-1993 in Canada, the insurgent right party which supplanted the Tories there ended up merging with them. I could see a similar thing happening here -...
He's a number 10 who should be playing the through balls for a front three to run onto, not a forward/winger who's particularly good at doing that direct running himself.
Frankly he always felt to me like a bit of a punt - no doubt pulled out of Hobbs' "had our eye on this lad for a while and...
Says a lot about how petty the concerns of this government usually are that I read "reinstatement of 30p" and it took me a while to realise it wasn't about bringing back an old coin from pre-decimalisation.
Yeah, there's so much space between the front of the stand and the pitch anyway. Demolish the stand after the last home game of the season, then hire some more golf seating to run tight along the side of the pitch and start building the replacement stand behind it, starting at the back and...
Impossible not to notice these two blue lines trending towards each other. For the last year a lot of people have been assuming the Reform vote was "soft", mostly people who are disillusioned with politics and unlikely to actually be motivated to turn out and vote (alongside some who are just...
Obviously pledges and manifestos aren't legally binding (although an important part of the UK's constitution is that the Lords will vote down legislation and send it back to the Commons if it's perceived to go too far beyond what the government promised in its election manifesto, a process which...
That's the thing, the current polling is even more damning of the Tories now than it was back then. Starmer's on course to do better than Blair despite nobody being particularly invested in him as a person or his "project".
Another one eating crow on this. After Ipswich I was convinced we'd be using the November international break to find his replacement, but here we are, on track for our best season post-Nuno and with longstanding critical issues with the team - scoring goals, above all - finally put to bed.
I...
"Would you vote for Rishi Sunak, or for an imaginary leader who meets your specific idealised criteria?"
As much as I do delight in the Tory party and pet press flailing because their usual "don't believe your eyes, the country's getting better/look out, they're socialists!" tricks aren't...
Said it before but: grew up in the home counties, every time I got back to catch up with school friends down the pub and it turns to politics their attitudes towards the Tories range from baffled to outright hostility. And they live in what are traditionally the safest blue seats in the country...
Just something about proximity, isn't it? I know I prioritise further away places.
I've lived down the road from the Tower of London for nearly 15 years. Have I ever popped in to take a gander at the crown jewels? Have I fuck.
Apparently the match was meant to be broadcast on ESPN+, but there was "an issue with the feed" according to people on reddit who complained to ESPN's customer service about it being listed but not available.
Presumably the same reason there are no highlights, as the teams that put together...
Also it's so easy to end up with seller's remorse.
You sell a young player for a fee that doesn't just reflect current ability but potential ability to. You visualise a line on a graph and think, "OK, so a mid-career player who can do X and Y now would be worth £30m, but he's young and on the...
Oh my god they're still hung up on the pints of champagne.
Nobody gives a shit. Nobody has ever given a shit. But the weirdo Churchill botherers know he used to drink them, so they must come back.
Genuinely surprised that Amazon didn't put in stronger bids, they've been making a lot of noises recently about investing more heavily in sports.
That said Sky will know that sports is the only reason they're still surviving in the age of streaming, so it's worth the investment for them.
Just got in from work, glad I'm not out this evening, one of those days of British weather that makes me reconsider emigrating - cold enough to be miserable, not cold enough to at least have the decency to snow.
