On the bright side he stays on the ballot so can still nick a few votes off the Tories. I suspect if some digging was done on every hastily appointed Reform candidate this would look pretty tame in comparison to most.

I doubt Reform are going to do much about the mould in my spare room.

They’ll inevitably win a handful of seats (bookies suggest single digits is pretty much a cert still and about 15% of the vote), make a load of noise for a few weeks then achieve absolutely nothing on the opposition benches on the rare occasions they bother to turn up.

Another debate on ITV tonight featuring mostly reserve players or those you haven’t heard of (I assume he’s the Plaid leader but doubt he gets recognised in his own house).

You’re ranting about something I’ve not even got close to saying.

A minority who never shut up insisting they’re a silent majority have, yes. But then we live in a representative democracy where they’re at least meant to act in our best interests even if those aren’t what some or even most of us want.

Like most things there’s no obvious big majority opinion. As a country we’re spilt more or less down the middle.

If you have to bring literally everything back to immigration then I doubt I’m going to convince you of anything.

Well it logically would actually. Just about anything that improves physical health or financial wellbeing would have a small incremental impact. It’s never going to be zero but the current approach of just massive under-funding it isn’t doing a lot of good.

But that’s one tiny part of the topic of life expectancy declining. Quality medical access at speed is in decline. People aren’t being seen for treatable diseases quickly enough for them to be treatable. They’re missing their own targets on cancers by a mile.

It’s not a buzzword. Suicide is the number one cause of young male deaths. Many suicides are due to poor mental health. Mental health services in this country are hugely overstretched ergo logically more avoidable suicides.

If public services that help keep people alive get worse then it seems quite logical people will start dying when they previously wouldn’t have. More poverty means more mental health problems. More mental health problems means more demand for services that help combat them. Less access to those services means deteriorating mental and physical health which tends to mean a higher likelihood of death. If your ambulance takes longer to reach you then you’re more likely to die. If you can’t get to your GP as quickly and then a consultant even less quickly then you’re more likely to die. If you can’t afford to miss work to get something checked out early then you’re more likely to die etc.

Yes we really need a more Tory-friendly media.

No government is bound by a previous one but there’s little to no chance it’ll be overturned for many years because of the ridiculous overreaction there’d be as well as the practical difficulty of going back to what it was. It’s happened and we’ll have to make the best of it. Starmer is right to go nowhere near it at least for now.

It was crap, it is crap, it will always be crap but it’s a toxic issue because so much of the electorate are such massive snowflakes about it that they have to either pretend it’s not there or lie that it’s great/going to be great if you just do it the way we want. Labour are far better off not going near it rather than get those who still believe in there being some great Brexit success around the corner upset and flocking back to the party of comforting lies.

Don’t forget that big ogre who scored against Norwich. I’ve honestly forgotten the bloke’s name but his cameo at Bristol City gave me hope I can still have a career.

Before my time really. My dad getting Premiership Plus was one of the final straws in my parents’ divorce I’m fairly sure.

It was considered rather common and vulgar to have a Sky dish back in the day.

There was one spot left in the bit of the safe standing I like so treated myself. We’re the N Block, We’re the N Block.

When we’re 15th and the ground is half-empty I’ll go and sit upstairs with the old man.

Yeah they’re pretty active in trying to lose long term season ticket holders, particularly concessions. They’ve raised OAP prices considerably (possibly even removed the discount entirely if I recall but the fan groups were pushing agains that). Spurs fans I know hate it particularly away from home where tourists are also now getting tickets but presumably that’s through fans selling them on for a huge profit.

I probably will still go as Spurs mates are going but £23 (+ fees of course) is steep.

Yes, yes and thrice yes. My dad hates it so I’ve held off buying a ST there for the games we go to together so it would be a real shame if it’s all STs. For me it’s brilliant.

How do you extend it though realistically? I don’t think they’ll move or scrap the family area though to me it’s wasted behind the goal (parents who sit there will disagree I’m sure). Maybe the rest of R block, maybe even a bit more of Ellerslie. Maybe even the Loft side of the Paddocks. Maybe the Lower School if they can get away with it being a permanently home area but looks like that’s not doable and becomes a bit of a millstone when we’re 16th and struggling to get 13000 in.
