Always feel sorry for Ben Bradshaw in that for the longest time I have also pictured his face when I've read the name Ben Bradley.

Starting to remind me of the back injury in his first season where ‘we’ll see how he trains’ and we don’t see him again until August.

So everything about that thread is right without also drawing attention to a larger elephant in the room (most MPs are just middle management types) but in this specific instance, ‘knowing about it’ is surely key to like her whole political ideology

I will concede to you that as well just obviously not being very bright, she may also just be very lazy which compels her to just take a position of ‘Fuck the Labour Party’ (a totally reasonable position right now for lots of reasons) on any order paper without considering what it means

Very disappointing that you’re talking about something which doesn’t actually exist when recently Nigel Farage has been credibly accused of racist bullying by several schoolmates and Nathan Gill got ten years for colluding with Russia. Both, I think, are more significant issues.

Have a good evening Dan.
I hope your t-shirt which very much emblazons what your policy priorities are still fits having first bought it as a 13 year old.

No worries, apology accepted. No need to fret, give it 7 years and you can have the politics you want again:
The Right in power with you complaining on the sidelines with no hope of ever being able to influence it.

Whilst largely positive in the depth of their coverage, The Athletic has had a corosive impact on the state of football journalism resulting in all media organisations pandering to their club supporting audiences ensuring everything is either good or shit with no in between. In this essay I will...

Yes, because of course posting something on Bluesky about a non entinty MP who will deservedly lose their seat in 2029 is, for example, far more impactful than the actual Prime Minister calling the thing you're concerned about in the actual House of Commons

No, you're right. She's a totally rational policy actor and definitely not the latest of a long line of people so paralysed by their own vanity that they're unable to even consider their position beyond: the Parliamentary Labour Party is bad actually

It is, of course, very true that because one thing is very obviously a thing - and very widely reported - considering another thing which is entirely separately a thing renders the other thing no longer a thing. Because obviously, at any given time, only one thing is able to be a thing.

Just feel like the midfield in particular looked so gassed that you could make an argument for subbing them all out as well as the need for the striker to start.

Whilst I take the point of the desire for allies the critical analysis of *why* these people want Israel to exist always seems lacking.

I think you’re making the same mistake the Treasury has been making for the last few years.
This is about financial resilience, it shouldn’t be about capital flows into the FTSE. The UK has 430bn in cash savings in the UK - that’s just way too much.
