Twitter stalker and infrequent tweeter since 2009. Slowly migrating over to this new place. Politics. Labour. Leicester City. Doctor Who and other Nerd stuff. That sort of thing.
One of your presenters recently said that men who played video games were 'sad' - another last year said the same thing about men who went alone to watch a film at a cinema. As mental health is such a big issue, it would be good if presenters could remember that when they make statements like this.

Mahmood is Labour's Priti Patel. Vacuous, dead behind the eyes careerist. She'd kick her own parents out if she thought she'd get Tommy Robinson's approval.

Also, even if you think you're going to lose, surely you'd want to be remembered for delivering good things. "Yeah we lost but here's a list of good things we did!" is a better legacy than "they weren't really much better than the last lot, didn't really do anything, went racist for a bit".

Morgan McSweeney is the worst thing to happen to Labour since Jeremy Corbyn became leader. Worth remembering that Labour's vote share has halved in the last 18 months and nobody seems to be particularly bothered about why that may be.

Let's hope it's nothing too trivial #thoughtsandprayers

Would quite like a Labour minister to just come out and say "she deserved to go to prison, she should've been there for longer than she was, and frankly a lot of the people defending her should probably also be in prison".

We have freedom of speech. We also know that it comes with responsibility, something Americans seem incapable of understanding. We also have universal access to healthcare and zero school shooting massacres, too.

Going to be fun to see how their supporters manage to balance 'Labour's approach to trans issues is far too nuanced and unsupportive' with 'I'm OK that more than half of the Corbyn party's MPs believe LGBT people are sinners and should not exist at all'.

The worst goalkeeper in Leicester City history, and that's not even an exaggeration. All the best, lads!

I like Ian, but it's this sort of 'no rules liberalism' thinking that ensures the Lib Dems only get 12-15% in a General Election. The public likes having rules.

That would explain his decision making over the past few seasons.

Not seen lines dropping this sharply since Liz Truss' approval ratings.

Sadly he'd hit a wall not long after the FA Cup win. Should have gone after the Forest cup defeat.

At least 2 years ago we knew we'd have a squad good enough to go up. Not sure that's the case now. Squad is much weaker even than last season. £20m on Oliver Skipp FFS. So many bad decisions.

Yeah 2 years ago was bad (we would have stayed up had we sacked Rodgers sooner IMO) but this is just the pits. Not a single redeeming feature of this season. Be glad when it's all over.

And all the best - we're still a little crazy at times (thanks Brexit) but not *that* crazy.

Time for Charles and Keir to stage an intervention and bring you guys home for a while til we can work out what the hell is going over there...

As for Leicester - I think I accepted the inevitable a few weeks back, since Wolves really. Worst season I can remember, certainly since 2007-08.
