Khan made it clear he disagreed with the national party's equivocation over Gaza, though. But overall, as much as there was a huge amount of stuff going around local whatsapp groups and whatnot about it, every single person I know who normally votes Green first choice/Labour second just went...

Yeah I have to say that it's weird to think Lopetegui was actively wanting to sell RAN and replace him with Cresswell - considering we know that "Plan A" was out and the budgets were reduced, Cresswell always sounded like something Hobbs/the scouting team more generally was suggesting as a cheap...

There's a third reason, and it's the one that's also the most true - he was and continues to be friends with many of the most important columnists and editors in the British media. People love to blame Have I Got News For You but he didn't become the major political figure he is because of that...

Should just stop messing around and bring in devolved regional assemblies with powers comparable to the Scottish Parliament and Welsh Assembly, like Labour wanted to do back in the 00s. The metro mayoralties are already a lot of the way there, but it's such a hodge-podge of geographical...

Also it's got that same thing New Zealand and Australia have - looks like it'd be easy to just pop across from one to the other if you're already "in the neighbourhood" and want to make the most of already having travelled such a long way, but in reality they're still surprisingly far apart (2-3...

Vancouver's climate is very similar to the UK's. Great if you like outdoorsy stuff too, so much nature within a short drive of the city. However its housing crisis is absolutely horrendous (worse than the UK's arguably) and it felt very limited in terms of culture and nightlife - much preferred...

Looks like a rugby shirt.

We were in great form as well, I really thought we'd have the momentum to go up if we'd managed to sneak in (as rare as the sixth-placed team winning the playoffs is).

Was having lunch with some friends at a place next to the stadium in Hackney Wick earlier, and we were surprised when we looked up the score halfway through the second half - we'd assumed it was a boring 0-0 because we hadn't heard any kind of crowd noise.

I swear I remember a Hibs fan back in 2012 coming on here and telling us how he was mostly playing at CH for the half season he was on loan there, though Wikipedia disagrees and says he was mostly at RB.

Important to note it’s only nationalisation of the operating companies, not the rolling stock providers. Better half than none but will mean the system still has a fair bit of price gouging built in behind the scenes.

Arsenal's training complex is up just outside London on the edge of St Albans. Barnet's ground is part of a large training complex which is used by lots of different teams from across north London, however - including youth teams.

He was NUS president when I was at uni, and made a name for himself by backing the introduction of tuition fees, even goading students for being angry about it. He had his sights on becoming a right Labour MP even then. Always been an arrogant prick concerned more with his own political career...

On current trajectory there's a strong chance that Reform come close to matching the Tories in raw vote share, if not actually beating them. Post-1993 in Canada, the insurgent right party which supplanted the Tories there ended up merging with them. I could see a similar thing happening here -...

He's a number 10 who should be playing the through balls for a front three to run onto, not a forward/winger who's particularly good at doing that direct running himself. Frankly he always felt to me like a bit of a punt - no doubt pulled out of Hobbs' "had our eye on this lad for a while and...

Says a lot about how petty the concerns of this government usually are that I read "reinstatement of 30p" and it took me a while to realise it wasn't about bringing back an old coin from pre-decimalisation.

Yeah, there's so much space between the front of the stand and the pitch anyway. Demolish the stand after the last home game of the season, then hire some more golf seating to run tight along the side of the pitch and start building the replacement stand behind it, starting at the back and...

Impossible not to notice these two blue lines trending towards each other. For the last year a lot of people have been assuming the Reform vote was "soft", mostly people who are disillusioned with politics and unlikely to actually be motivated to turn out and vote (alongside some who are just...

Obviously pledges and manifestos aren't legally binding (although an important part of the UK's constitution is that the Lords will vote down legislation and send it back to the Commons if it's perceived to go too far beyond what the government promised in its election manifesto, a process which...
