Feel like World politics is damaging my brain. Can’t focus, trying to process anything more than one task at a time is totally overwhelming. Struggling to start or complete minor logistical tasks…

Hello to any Handbrake Off listeners, please send any questions in for the show tomorrow, be they football, film (ha!), music (although I am not sure that Adrian is on to field them) or anything. But football might be the preferred option.
Cheers! x

3. Refusing to introduce Proportional Representation. Under our First Past The Post system, a party with a minority of the vote can achieve a huge majority (as Starmer did with 34%). There is no way Farage could become Prime Minister under a PR system. Only under FPTP.

Are British MPs allowed to call for sanctions against Britain? Presumably if he strays into calling for military intervention that’s treason… right?

I really think “the neutral” just wants to be entertained and when they’re not entertained they default to blaming Mikel for that. And it doesn’t matter what’s best for Arsenal. They’re just throwing a tantrum.

The UK is falling apart and the Media is ranting on about immigration, which hasn't really changed in 5 years, and is in fact going down.
Perhaps their obsession is not because it is a big deal, but because the big issue is the rampant profiteering of their billionaire masters?

I’d appreciate anyone explaining to me (in rational human communication not tribal social media idiot brain), how Lfc “played to win” & we “played not to lose.” Even if you believe we were more conservative than we should’ve been, you must at minimum apply the same logic to them

Was in a car South-North-South England yesterday, saw some flags on overpasses etc. “Take back control” anti-foreigner rhetoric is everywhere. Our foreign imperial overlords have loads of military bases and listening stations in England…

Some leagues deliberately keep their top teams apart in the first few games. This was a good advert for that.
