    [Albion] Man City arriving on the back of three straight defeats

    I think they’ll get a sympathetic ref and a lot of luck against us as they’ll surely bounce back this weekend. I don’t think we’ll be spanked, 1-2 seems about right.

    [Politics] The 2024 US Election - *MATCH DAY*

    Morons breed more. They lack the judgement and foresight to plan ahead. It’s not a good long term direction for the human race and will probably lead to its extinction in the next century or so. But what’s the alternative? Probably something like Nazism where you have a master race and a...

    [Politics] The 2024 US Election - *MATCH DAY*

    I’d not be relying on the sanctuary of rules or traditions for the next 4 years. Money trumps everything and if Musk is Donald’s anointed successor, his place of birth is irrelevant.

    [Politics] The 2024 US Election - *MATCH DAY*

    Two reasons. 1. They are like him. 2. They have voted for tax cuts. It’s all about No.1 in America. The world can burn as long as they get the extra dollar.

    She is doing worse than Biden everywhere. I suspect it comes down to the fact that she is a black woman and he is a white old man. That’s Americans for you.

    Harris will win New Jersey but there has been a huge swing to Trump in this traditional Democratic area. It’s surely over for Harris.

    Reports of record turnouts in swing states. Hopefully it’s women making the difference.

    [Politics] The 2024 US Election - *MATCH DAY*

    Boom! Exit polls suggest that ‘the state of democracy’ was the biggest election issue for voters (35%). 81% of Harris supporters see this as a big issue against 17% of Trump fans. Edited: Removed references to Polish people.

    [Politics] The 2024 US Election - *MATCH DAY*

    The protectionist tariffs that he is threatening to impose on US imports could really affect British businesses. This could impact growth, jobs and prices in the UK. Pulling out of NATO and withdrawing support for Ukraine could be catastrophic (I work with a very worried Ukrainian who sees the...

    [Misc] Kemi Badenoch confirmed as new Tory leader

    I’ve not seen the story anywhere. A quick google finds this story on suicidal farmers by your man Clarkson. https://www.farmersguide.co.uk/rural/clarkson-speaks-out-about-alarming-suicide-rates-in-farming/ Is it something to do with this?

    [Misc] Kemi Badenoch confirmed as new Tory leader

    I saw the poor farmer who questioned the Chancellor on Kuenssburg this morning. She was talking about a tax bill of £1m if she inherits the business (paid over 10 years at 100k per year). Can you imagine that? Now that fact that she’d get £2m untaxed or £3m untaxed if the farm is left to her and...

    [Albion] Ten games in - our new players

    Ayari is a great shout. An astonishing signing for only £3.5m. Alongside Hinshelwood, he formed our first choice midfield partnership against Liverpool at Anfield and helped make sure we completely outplayed them in the first half.

    [Misc] Kemi Badenoch confirmed as new Tory leader

    I can’t remember the last time a PM appeared on Question Time. I suppose ‘Right Brain’ assumes that there will be a change to this convention. But old Ron has an ‘opinion’ and is, I suspect, one of those folks who lives a life where the validation of opinions with fact or evidence is unwarranted.

    [Politics] The 2024 US Election - *MATCH DAY*

    According to Anthony Scaramucci, MAGA have been manipulating the narrative in the following ways. 1. MAGA billionaires have thrown a lot of money behind Trump on the betting markets to give the impression that he is a massive favourite. 2. Trump and MAGA are talking about a ‘landslide’ setting...

    [Misc] Kemi Badenoch confirmed as new Tory leader

    The first 5mins on Kuenssburg suggests to me that she won’t be leader of the Conservative Party by the next election. Apparently Partygate wasn’t Boris Johnson’s fault, it was the lockdown rules imposed on him that were unfair.

    [Misc] Kemi Badenoch confirmed as new Tory leader

    A brilliant day for Farage. I don’t think the humourless Kemi has the appeal to pull his supporters off. They’ll surely stick with their Nige which is terrific news for Labour.

    [Albion] Liverpool vs Brighton & Hove Albion *** Official Match Thread ***

    The referee gave Liverpool every foul. Every single one. He really wasn’t interested in giving us much.
