It's possible that reform will get in at the next election and all the usual suspects on here will blame the electorate which is what they do every time a vote happens that they disagree with.

He's lived off hype and his paid PR team for years now.

I don't give a fuck what the twattish Tories were going on about. I'm not a Tory. I care about the performance of the party in government. If reform get in next I certainly won't give much of a toss about what Labour did the last time a year into a Reform premiership.

Also worth pointing out that they have been the ones in opposition saying how different it would be under labour and how they will uphold the values of honour and integrity. The likes of Boris never really pretended he was anything other than what he is and like you say it wasn't a surprise when they turned out to be exactly what everyone knew already. Labour claimed they were holding themselves to even higher standards so of course they are going to get their feet held to the fire, even if their indescretions aren't as egregious as some of the conservative side. Like someone else said, it's been a year now. At what point will the constant comparisons to the Tories stop and they are to be judged on their own merits?

Yvette cooper is at least a safe pair of hands as Foreign Secretary but Lammy as deputy PM is extraordinary. Who on earth is he going to appeal to?

If anything happens to Starmer then Lammy would become prime minister. I can't think of many people less suitable. I think I need a lie down.

Oh my god they've made Lammy deputy PM. These people are insane.

It's going to be so much. I lie awake at night thinking about the 20% sell on clause we will insert.

Sure. Resigning when given virtually no option and reporting yourself after you've had a KC looking at it the previous week to look for the wrongdoing is so honourable.

She only self referred after it was investigated and she realised she was bang to rights. Apparently they had a KC looking at it last week before they even publicly admitted anything. She deserves no credit for resigning, she has clearly only done so because she was told she should resign or be pushed.

Where would he play? We wouldn't have room for him.

This wasn't complex. If she had listened to the advice she was given and received proper qualified advice on the stamp duty then it would have been very clear. She got expert advice from two different legal firms that she get expert opinion and ignored it. As housing minister she was either incompetent to the degree that she shouldn't be in government or she knew about it and did it anyway not thinking she would get found out. Either is shite.

100%. All MPs should have much higher salaries but it should be much easier to remove them if they aren't doing their job or renege on promises and do things they haven't been elected to do.

I mean that HMRC would have lost out on thousands of pounds had she not been called out. As housing minister and deputy prime minister she has rightly been forced to resign and if anything it's even worse if her motivations for getting into politics was to help people. She's helped herself.

I approve.

Came into politics to help people and leaves the front bench with loads of money and in disgrace having failed to help people and having cost the taxpayer money it can ill afford.

It shouldn’t be controversial to say that those who make the law can’t break the law. But we have to set the bar far higher than that. Our country is stuck in a dangerous rut. Everywhere you look things are broken. And nothing gets fixed. People say to me when they look at those running the country, they see a group of people totally detached from reality, whose words mean nothing, and who put their own interest first. what you will always get from me is someone who believes honesty and integrity matter.

Not exactly the adults back in the room or the grown ups being I charge again is it? Not being as bad as the Tories -still time of course -is hardly a ringing endorsement of this party.

Yep Bazunu Mads THB Stephens Manning Downes Charles Fellows Azaz Fraser Archer Would be my guess.

I think there's weaknesses but I can't really see how anyone could rate us a 4. That seems much to harsh imo.

You say that but I'd say all the teams we've played so far have matched or surpassed us for at least significant periods of each game. Arguably we've been second best in all of them.

Yes that's the risk we now have to take, that our new setup can improve the type of chances we create to the degree that our strikers can actually score.

That's not a shift. That's been the case the entire time.

Haven't we statistically created more chances than any other team?

Interesting. Certainly compared to our shower where we didn't give much of a shit about losing anyone beyond about two players.
