The unions should stop funding the government and instead put together a fighting fund so that all immigrant workers, first second or third generation, can take a week out on general strike.
Let's see where this bloody country is then.

Field A: Yoko sitting on an amp.
Field B: George and Paul looking on in alarm.

The trades unions should cut off funding today.

Anybody who represents the "I'm alright Jack" brigade, while pulling up the drawbridge that they used, has no place in politics. Politicians are there to represent everybody, whoever voted for them.

Whatever these people might like to believe, governments are very rarely elected on a 'mandate' - ironically, Johnson might be the recent exception. They are generally elected because they are seen, on one very specific Thursday morning, as the least worst of a bad choice. Thanks FPTP.

By Tuesday morning, all the trade unions should have withdrawn financial support for what used to be the Labour Party. If they don't, they are complicit, and their members should think about whether paying subs to people who support this is the right thing to do.

In the last 28 years, Labour have squandered 3 landslides and one huge majority to leave us still living in Thatcher's Britain. Why would anybody trust them to change things in future?

We've had the same government since 1979 essentially, just edging further and further to the right. Isn't it about time the experiment with Thatcherism was consigned to the bin?

Because changing your manager every five minutes has always proved to be a winning strategy in English football...

He isn't either. Both of them had sides dripping with top flight players to work with.

It wasn't very enjoyable at the start and Giles was getting fearful stick. I have no idea if Mason will go on to have success but compare the sides, compare where the club was in 1975 and where it has just come from in 2025.

I make no point one way or the other than going back to the start of 1975/76. John Giles in his first season as a manager. P13 W3 D7 L3. And he had Wile, Robertson, Brown, Johnston, Cantello, Osborne and himself in that side.

We can only hope that they actually do get out and vote. They can change their country. It's their future.

Pressure also needs to be kept on this Labour government, whose lunatic parroting of all these far right talking points, and threats to impose draconian rules on migrants have been living here for years, is frankly terrifying.

Who leaves everything they have behind, often including family, and travels across the world, often in great danger? Answer, those who are desperate and in greater danger at home. What kind of monster do you have to be to turn your back on that? Answer, a British politician or Reform voter.

None as blind as those who will not see...
