If he had a bit more pace he’d be absolutely top drawer

Last place I was in ( although we’re talking about 5-6 years ago) that sold best scotch was the Grey Nag’s Head on Gateshead High Street. Wonderful authentic pub going experience all round tbh

Well they do say it’s the hope that kills you

You ever considered the possibility listening to the radio causes you undue amounts of stress?

Apart from it not showing that, governments pretty much always lose elections. Even in 97 that was the case. Floating voters don’t say to themselves “things are good but the opposition has better policies”. Even the turnout was standard for by-elections. And whilst by-elections are not always great indicators for a general election, we’re well into the final year before another GE. There are literally no positives from a government POV. Also, as you point out, Sunak is just repeating himself at this point

He’s bloody loyal! Ok?

Also funny when you consider the people who made it are actual Sunderland fans

I think there’s mayoral/local/ police commissioner elections on 9th may. I did wonder if they might just say fuck it and go for them for a GE. Sunak’s like a toxic little drip. Somehow managing to gradually corrode away their support even more with each shitty, insincere sound bite

JRM and Sunak hate each other. At this point I think the former is just campaigning for his seat at the next election. Although he looks set to lose that too. And playing to GBeebies twats as well. Actually when I was looking, one the more prominent Tories looking likely to remain in parliament is Truss. Apart from that leading me to assume Norfolk must be stuffed to the gills with absolute cunts. It also made me think she’ll probably make the shadow cabinet. Given her profile and the lack of options. I fucking hope so as she’ll continue to be a disaster. She’s thick as pig’s shit

I know he’s a crock but this still seems really unlucky / a freak injury. It’s not like he has a history of this sort of injury. It just about sums our luck up this season. Obviously we need a more reliable option there next season though.

Helen Harrison, the Tory party candidate in Wellingborough (who also intends to stand at the general election), is Peter Bone’s partner Who the fuck thought that was a good idea?

With the stake he has in the club he’s always one EGM away from that happening

Agree with all that but, in particular, for a bloke all about the medium to long term, he’s quick to fuck off before anyone is able to judge that.

Henry Winter reckons it’s a huge coup. All that suggests to me is that, as with most walks of life, what actually separates Ashworth from people with similar knowledge is his ability to sell himself. Because you can guarantee any conversations he’s had with people like Winter will be him bigging himself up. Rather than revealing much on the way of what he actually does know

Not just that but a Labour Party IN FUCKING OPPOSITION being held to entirely different standards to a government that’s completely fucked just about everything they’ve touched

It’s about conning enough floating voters into thinking they are better off. They’re good at it and the press are largely on side and fptp facilitates it too. AKA our broken democratic system

Technically it’s the mildest recession since the 70s

I appreciate it early days in the project and there’s probably some sour grapes here too but I’ve found him a bit ‘meh’ so far. I don’t think any of the first teamers brought in required much rocket science and the hopefuls haven’t done much on their loan spells. Brighton haven’t exactly fallen apart in his absence either. All of which may change subject to what happens

That’s him starting there next week then

Even the magedia is onside while this run continues

As an aside I fucking love how they’re fully on board with KLD, ‘the model’ et al again after a couple of wins on the bounce

Well I wasn’t at all cliched and got my lass some chocs, flowers and wine. And I got some nuts ( ) and then when she was writing my card this morning she realised she’d gotten me a girlfriend one by mistake
