Like usually means bookmarked. Repost means interesting. Not one good word to say about Sir Keir Starmer.

But that was before The Board of Peace.

If the USA wish to host a World Cup they need to ensure the safety of all competing nations.

That combined with sacking kitchen staff will make all the difference.

There are echoes of GB's leadership. The lesson learned was that for, future leadership elections, a contest was in everyone's best interests. With the Cons in disarray Lab largely won the election without a contest and therefore never had to construct a full argument of what they'd do in Office.

Didn't see the game but they have had a few games under Carrick where they didn't look great going forwards. Relying on the snap shot from Sesko was always going to run out of road. Villa game massive (for both teams).

It needs to push beyond human capabilities and big just automate them. How many cancers has it cured?

One of if the biggest issues with FPTP is that political careerists were disproportionally attracted to the big two. Geography probably weighed more on their political choices than ideology.

Ideology (i.e. actually believing in something) is a dirty word to them.

Lab have bet the house on 'they've nowhere else to go' for the last 30 years.

FPTP works for you until it doesn't.

Too early to say but legacy Parties will struggle until they are seen to be part of the solution; they will likely rebound if the upstarts actually achieve power and don't deliver.

Lab problems in Scotland started because the SNP not only spotted the gap but then ran with the ball with conviction.

Don't ban second jobs; reduce their MP salary Β£1 for Β£1 for each Β£1 earned.

I'd prefer just to do the same with offside as they do with penalties - VAR only intervenes if a clear and obvious mistake has been made.

If it takes more than 15-20 seconds to draw a line (or for VAR to make a decision) then the decision stands as it's clearly not a 'clear and obvious' mistake.

Keir Starmer reckons that England stand a fair chance of winning the world cup, as long as Kevin Keegan is on top form.

Of the existing MPs who would gather the widest support? And what level of support would that be?

The problem for Labour is that Starmer and Labour β€œTogether” have fixed the Party so that it *can’t* change, it’s inbuilt reactionary β€œcentrist” parliamentary/NEC majority means it will not be able to change credibly until these nasty drone MPs are booted out at the next election.

I'd love to see a sign outside Westminster - "Quite please great minds are tackling great questions" - and for it to be true.

Representative Democracy is in crisis.

The op-in system and careerism are at least part the problem.
