    [Politics] Labour Party meltdown incoming.......

    This will be a battle. The previous Tory MP, Peter Bottomley (who I have no love for by the way!) fought strongly against building homes on this bit of land. I suspect the new Labour MP will not and this exactly the type of land that I suspect the new Labour planning rules will allow for...

    Yes exactly 😃

    [Politics] Labour Party meltdown incoming.......

    Interesting reading their housing plans. Not good news for the South Down and Worthing in particular. A return to shared housing targets effectively means everywhere (no matter how crowded already it is) has to contribute the same share as a % of their current housing. Sounds fair in theory but...

    [Football] Have you ever been to an England football game?

    Done home and away with my son since the mid 00's. Has really been an excuse to see a lot of European cities at the same time. Other than Qatar which I didn't do this Euro's was going to be the first tournament I was going to miss since 2006. I thought I'd done enough travelling with our Europa...

    [Football] Best secondary ticket site for euros ?

    I managed to get mine through ETSC for Switzerland but had to pay through the nose for category 1 tickets. Have previously used Ticombo and it has been fine. As others have said the Uefa site seems to release tickets on the day of the game. Personally I don't like to travel unless I already...

    [Football] Frank Lampard - next England manager?!

    I agree with this. People say that other managers would have got more out of this squad because the players are so good. I disagree. Other managers had really great players as well, but struggled to motivate them. The facts speak for themselves, England have never had the run of reaching the...

    [Football] Frank Lampard - next England manager?!

    Not sure that's the right question though. International football is very different to club football. Probably why most people would say Southgate wasn't great at club level but has been very successful at International level. Not a massive crossover between successful club managers and...

    [Politics] Tory voters- where do you go from here?

    I’d say the conservative brand is broken. Much as it was for Labour in 1979. It will take a long time to recover that and they will have to do more than rebadge the party. Next leader selection is critical but if they don’t bring Farage etc in to the fold they are going to struggle to get back...

    [News] Nigel Farage and Reform

    5 MPS, 4 of which look pretty well qualified candidates is a reasonable start. The vote share suggests 1 in 7 people voted for them. You can’t ignore that. That vote will grow next time or they will move to the conservatives in some form or other.

    [Football] England and German fans kicking off at the Euros

    Pathetic handbags stuff. Certainly the headline doesn’t match the video! I’m in Dusseldorf. Watched the game with the fans in the fans park. No trouble whatsoever. I think the Germans were expecting to lose to be honest and didn’t seem that bothered.

    [Politics] The Labour Government

    Whereas my natural instinct is to believe a lot of the world’s problems are unsolvable, but I just don’t want my government to make them worse!

    [Politics] The Labour Government

    I’ll just the Labour government on the following in five years: 1) Have they controlled immigration - I don’t want none, but given 500k leave every year I don’t want more than 600k coming in 2) Can they solve the housing crisis - majorly linked to 1) I suspect 3) Can they get the health care...

    That's very kind, thank you. Currently packing for the trip: Toothbrush St George's Cross BHA flag Passport Oh that's it.

    [News] Nigel Farage and Reform

    Probably a protest vote against the loony leftie teachers. Top work. Out of interest how old, I assume they were Secondary kids, 12+?

    [Politics] How busy are the Polling Stations where you live?

    I'd say it was pretty busy in Findon this morning, less so when I voted mid afternoon. Interesting to note the much tighter procedure with ID as well. Very clearly adhered to policy.

    [Politics] How many seats will the Tories get ?

    This is a really good question. I really hope they sit on each others laps on one side and then on the other they have room for sun beds etc.

    [Football] Who should replace Guehi in England's defence?

    I think they were both warming up.

    [Football] Who should replace Guehi in England's defence?

    That's the correct answer. Or even play 3 centre backs and finally get some width! None of the above will happen. We know that.
