I mean, that fella next to him doesn't look that 'average' either mind Unless Sunak is warping my perception of the whole image.

Sunak's the most credible person they've got though. I think Gove's star has fallen these days and frankly there's a real dearth of talent anywhere near the front bench. Patel might fancy herself for it, she's certainly primed her audience on the immigration stuff. But she is of course a woman, and a person of colour, so she'd have the biggest mountain to climb.

Surely he's not going to be brought down over wallpaper. Is it really that big a deal? I mean I'd love to see him go but it doesn't feel like an earth shaking one.

I've had this on the radar for a while, don't see any reason not to since it's inevitably the direction of travel that society is going to head down. Quite keen on the idea of intelligent lighting systems generally as I'm quite mood sensitive on light. As for being spied on, they know everything anyway man - and what could possibly be going on in your home that is more shameful than your internet search history?

That's less about the "joy" of them getting married and more about getting digs in at their ex-spouses ffs I cannot imagine ever being conceited enough to have something so pathetic written about my wedding.

EDIT - Isegrim beat me to it. We should all appreciate that if the Cabinet Secretary, a man who may well have been at the party himself, finds any evidence that this party happened, the Met will further consider the situation, and that they will work tirelessly to find a new reason not to do their jobs.

I thought it was a good article too tbh - although the fact that he has this consultancy team working for him in order to help him manage his own development is pretty unique I thought

See, attitudes like this will be the death of journalism and the media more generally. If only someone who worked in such industries was present to set out how problematic your request is

Given how this is going, it'll end with a photo of Boris dressed fully as santa claus with a couple of young Tory interns on each knee underneath a banner saying "No. 10 Christmas Party 2020"

Cummings must be loving this

I'll believe it when I see it but I agree, that should be game over.

"Born to rule" is still very much a thing in this country, sadly. That said, how many smart and compassionate people would choose to go into politics anyway?

Have to say, if we had to go bankrupt I'd not be opposed to taking Saudi Arabia with us.

Given that it was Crystal Palace who kicked a lot of this off when they were on a relative high earlier in the season, I think you could be right. I mean truthfully I can see all of them trying to stand in our way here for one reason or another. It's fairly pathetic but if we manage to start going past some of these teams in terms of our relative success over time, they'll ease off.

Have we even been seriously linked with anyone in the PL besides Lingard?

So the contention is that junior staff members banded together to have a party at No. 10 without his knowledge, or the knowledge of anyone who had his ear. This is the place where he works/lives/whatever day to day. And he didn't know about it. They just did it on their own without anyone saying anything. Is that really what he's saying?

If that tweet is in any way representative of how his mind works, it explains pretty much everything about why we're in the mess we are.

Surely we're coming to the end of Johnson's run as PM here?

A masterpiece of a post

The stuff posted there is absolutely disgusting. It's not just racism, it's bordering onto BNP style Nazi views, by his own damn admission. And this is public knowledge? And the Spectator still employ him? Like fuck was he hacked.

You just know Fish is seething whenever Diego posts and picks up his 5-10 likes I appreciate the Fish too tbf, if only he posted here more instead of elsewhere...

I would love it if this was his career trajectory

True but there's a psychological component to it. If we're completely cut adrift up to the tune of 10 or 12 points by the time we're mid-January, one would think it's a lot harder to keep the players motivated and pushing, along with the fans of course. And new signings potentially - conversation changes from "yeah we're in the relegation zone but there's only a handful of points in it and we're strengthening in key areas, with you on board as well we'll be fine" to "aye we're fucked but you won't get a pay cut for next year in the championship".

Has his wife divorced him yet? I felt pretty sure that was coming. Although she might just wait until he dies I guess.

Aye but us going down looks a lot more on the cards than Everton going down. And don't worry, everyone will be back to crying in a few weeks I expect I feel better about it after doing that results predictor thing though, as bad as our run is it's not a lot better for the others.
