We've turned ourselves into a lower mid table Championship team at best. Matos, McGuiness, Barry, Bindon, Soumare, Ogbene, the AI experiments, probably Chong & Zatterstrom, are all bad recruits. #sufc

Is it possible Reeves will increase income tax and simultaneously combine it with NI, making one tax instead of two?
The semantics of not specifically increasing one or the other (plus it being a sensible move) could save her..?

A few days after the presidential election one year ago, we went to Fordham Road in the Bronx.

It was a little different last week.

It's fair to say Matos had an instant impact at right back😂🤦‍♂️. Dreadful. I've got a very uneasy relegation feeling #sufc

The #LilyAllen album is a masterpiece. More as a story than a piece of music. She's been brutally honest and open, and brutally brutal. Even though he's been trashed it's impossible to have any sympathy for her ex, he deserves it all.

Well done everyone who has pressed the Tories constantly on this - proof that if people just point out that an unpopular and insane policy is unpopular and insane repeatedly and consistently then you can get it changed. A relief to many in sure - now same pressure needed with Reform

Nothing says stability like haemorrhaging people❗️

I tried to keep a tally but it’s a full time job keeping up with number of Reform Councillors either quitting or being fired..

3 recently fired in Kent because they didn’t like being shouted and sworn at by the leader

And another 5 in Cornwall 🙄😂

The process for Burnham to become leader:
A sitting MP voluntarily make themselves unemployed so he can stand.
The Starmer leaning NEC allow him to stand.
The seat be very specifically in the north west, very safe, metropolitan ish.
Win the most circusy bi-election ever.

Andrea Jenkyns has awarded herself an increase of £150K to “run her office” as Mayor of Lincolnshire. Council taxpayers will now have to fork out £262K per annum for her immense talent and expertise.

The idea of replacing Starmer is just utter nonsense. He's just won an election with a huge majority. It would look foolhardy, sel-obssessed, chaotic, insane: classic Tory bollocks.
