I know Leicester City had a firm called the ‘Baby Squad’ but this taking the piss.

The chances that Robert Jenrick *literally* went to "more than a few football matches in the away end" at Villa Park *in the 1980s* (ie, before his 8th birthday on 8.1.1990) are vanishingly small to non-existent. (He may have been in the away end at Villa Park as a child or teenager in the 1990s)

Especially as he was 5 years old.

Do they know that the good people of Birmingham have the vote and there are 10 constituencies up for grabs?

I actually think Brum is a fine city.

Outstanding recall.

If I remember correctly that was Scarborough’s first ever game in the Football League.

They weren’t ready for a 5 year old Robert Jenrick on an away day.

I’ve got the photo of 6 year old Jenrick leading the Wolves firm through the streets of Aston and Witton.

He loved his away days.

Yeah it was jumpers for goal posts, and the smell of bovril in the 80s.

100%

Now a few days of our club being dragged through the mud, placed in the centre of insecure politicians and rabid media.

What about the rights of the people of Birmingham and residents around the ground? Are they less important?

Unbelievable how clumsily Starmer has waded into this.

What a feckin spineless twat.

The residents of Birmingham and Aston in particular also have a right to be protected from racist thugs attached to Tel Aviv.

See Amsterdam.

Starmer may well own anything that happens now.

It’s not Villas fault they got drawn with this lot.

Wrong to stop Maccabi Tel Aviv fans attending Aston Villa match, says PM

Followers of the Israeli club will not be allowed to attend the Europa League game over safety concerns.

I would not trust a single word that Chris Mason had to say on anything.

If the BBC is seen as biased, that’s not a good thing.

Chris Mason: Digesting key segments and changes in China documents

Both this government and its Conservative predecessor had deep worries about Chinese espionage, writes the BBC's political editor.

Not quite the point I know, but I’m always amazed by what Americans considers to be a ‘kid’.

Like 35 year old blokes are kids.

Normal countries still have a level of professionalism and adherence to law.

It’s clearly not necessary to blow up boats no questions asked. Just let your people do what they’re trained to do.

What bothers me is when he’s removed, either through an election (lol) or by other means, is that he won’t know that he’s a shit cnut.

Either the dementia, hubris, or death will stop him from knowing.

I want him to know (and his shit idiot kids esp the Damian looking tosser) that he’s a shit cnut.
