that’s the precisely the shit that he needs to do that Corbyn couldn’t bring himself to participate in, because he was so “principled”/unelectable . The culture wars are all the Tories have left. Would you rather he didn’t shag flags and we gave the Tories an open goal? In the scheme of things, who gives a shit whether he plays the game so floating voters think he’s patriotic?

Biden had a good four years and improved the state of the country. The Dems need another four years to embed a lot of the green transformation he introduced through the IRA. He showed how you win elections from the centre without over promising when you’re up against a divisive and unlikable opponent. Unfortunately his ego to be a two term president has fucked them. He’s too old and doddery for it and voters don’t want him. He should stand aside for a younger candidate to run in his place and they’d win but I fear you’re right about trump.

And if that isn’t enough, he’s thinking of car boot sales, t-shirts and maybe a benefit concert

they haven’t really said anything tbh. And the strategy of winning by default is working, why change it? Don’t give them any attack lines while they implode. This strategy worked for Biden and he was able to roll out his transformative inflation reduction act. It’s just a shame that American voters are too dumb to join up the dots.

Win power first, improve lives later. Enough with being principled in opposition. Do what you need to do to win power and then restore public services and invest

not while I roll with the punches it isn’t

That’s the yeast of your concerns

i'm no expert either. just a supporter who is annoyed that we're losing him for the best part of two seasons, when it could have been just one if they had operated straight away, and looking for someone to blame

we're now looking at being without our best defender for the best part of two seasons instead of just one. tough call to make, of course, but an ACL rupture isn't the career-ending injury it once was. surgery is quite advanced and often players come back looking like they've never been away after 9-12 months.

American Fiction. Really clever comedy/drama about modern white guilt and black identity. 8/10

Botman must be bloody annoyed with how the medical staff handled the injury from the start

rye are you getting so cross?

Dough you expect me to fire one back?

Crumbs, I wasn’t expecting a pun of that quality

i enjoy this bloke's videos about the stadium conundrum

i went to the zoo yesterday and saw a piece of toast in a cage. it was bread in captivity

Got about half an hour into 20 days in Mauripol last night. It’s clearly brilliant filmmaking but I wasn’t in the frame of mind for it. It’s absolutely gut wrenching

Taskmaster is class. I watch it with my kids and they love it. Alex Horne is a funny little oddball genius - a great British comedy eccentric. The Horne Section is great too
