Seriously though, you bring someone like this or Newsom in, and the collective sigh of relief the country would breathe at the prospect of a youthful alternative to Trump. Even Harris. Biden is being pathetic, but it's ridiculous that they haven't been working on him stepping aside, and coming up with a succession plan since a year or so in to his term.

These people are beyond parody.

Still 4 months to go. Loads of time for stuff to change. Our election campaign was 6 weeks and it felt like a lifetime.

Cue Biden ringing into Morning Joe tomorrow and ranting and raving about how the elites can't tell him what to do and he's going nowhere etc etc.

Actually I don't think the nomination is confirmed as being moved out yet, but senior people are saying it needs to be. Sounds like if something is going to be announced, they'll wait until after the RNC so they don't give the Republicans a chance to crow about it or attack a new candidate (say if it was immediately announced that it's Harris).

Adam Schiff has come out publicly and said he needs to step down. Schiff is very senior and well known, but he's also supposedly Pelosi's boy, so this is being seen as actually Pelosi telling Biden to go. There's also supposed to be some kind of virtual roll call before convention to confirm nominations, and they've pushed the date of that back today - Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries are behind this move. And finally a poll has come out saying 67% of Democrat voters want Biden to go.

Looks like stuff is happening in the plan to get Biden to step down.

Yes.

Villa have announced their new pre-season kit. Unclear yet whether they plan to release another one to cover the remaining pre season games. Watch this space.

Maybe he was a dog in a past life.

Yes! We've got him! Didn't even need to use the search function. Cuff him.

Benji is not an adult human's name.

He's just moved his family up here, talks about his fondness for the region, and his kids are now settled in school up here. Also, St George's Park is based in Burton on Trent. Its a 190 mile commute from Bournemouth. The exact same distance as it is from Newcastle. Other than that, GREAT POINTS.

I'll just add that the chants were homphobic as well. I say that not to demonise him, but to make you all understand that homophobia is another thing that doesn't reflect his beliefs or character. It's just good that this incident has allowed us to get to know him a bit better.

Raw minced pork can absolutely get fucked btw. Their mistake was in trying it, not in (presumably) being disgusted by it.

Make sure you're sitting down for this next bit, but I'm here to tell you that his actions don't reflect his beliefs or his character.

There's also the small matter of Howe collecting a bunch of tired players at the end of a season, taking them to the World Cup, and trying to convince them that intensity remains their identity as they wilt in the heat of Mexico/Florida.

Aye. If that's the system they're trying to develop, then you have to implement it when the moment arises. If you continue to have your head turned by the big name, then your England DNA framework is just empty words.

Looks class Tom. The simpler, the better with guitars, I reckon, and they don't come much simpler than that.

This lad will not be able to get out of there quick enough.

Howe staying would be preferable. Twitter knows fuck all.

The world can't be this binary man. These are people that have to maintain diplomatic relations with some very unpleasant people. He's not gone there to be BFFs with the bloke. You can take that view, but the Foreign Secretary can't.

He's too good for that to be true!
