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

    By her own admission the words used in one of the tweets she liked were regrettable and did align to a trope. It wasn't a single item. The standards need to be exceeded not on just on the line. Don't get me wrong, she has been an effective candidate and would likely have won but at what cost?

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

    Faiza Shaheen by her own admission on newsnight last night , posted some ill thought out comments that that are in her words 'regrettable'. For some people, using social media is like giving zebedee from magic roundabout a machine gun. As a member of the Brighton kemptown and peacehaven Labour...

    I do fear that vat may be on her agenda. Unless it's specifically targeted it can be a blunt TOOL

    [News] Should we Bring Back National Service? Sunak says YES.

    Given less that 4% of teenagers could do the military training then wonder how they will be selected. They are literally making it up as they go along

    [Politics] Keir Starmer in Brighton today

    If it's McDonnell he might be a bit lonely given his bessie mates are unlikely to be there with him. Spoiler alert, I actually quite like McDonnell. He at least seemed to be above 6th form common room politics.

    [Albion] Would Glenn Murray and Craig Mackail-Smith have worked...

    I am saying that when I first heard it just before the 1st game at the amex it wasn't poyet I heard it from. Surely it wasn't that confusing?

    [Albion] Would Glenn Murray and Craig Mackail-Smith have worked...

    The stephenson story I was told didn't come from poyet but from another club senior non playing figure. Cms was a marquee signing and I suspect wasn't entirely a poyet decision

    [Albion] Would Glenn Murray and Craig Mackail-Smith have worked...

    I thought the poyet Murray thing was caused by how the club at the time (and john stephenson) wanted to structure the budget with wages and transfer fees as two separate budgets. Keeping Murray used wages (signing on fee also came from wages) but was too much whilst cms was tfr budget and his...

    [News] Should we Bring Back National Service? Sunak says YES.

    If you had them and people today don't, the how did you get yours? Was it doing free work for the state or learning to bayonet the hun or commies? I got mine from being able to balance school/college and work (leaflet delivering, cleaning the school after hours, working in a laundry etc)...

    You wanted to take it away from u21s iirc So perhaps he is merely using satire to tease you

    [News] Should we Bring Back National Service? Sunak says YES.

    I criticise Justin Webb and nick robinson for often being too soft on govt 'guests' on the today programme. I often found james obrien to be the other way.

    I'm more worried by the no hoper adults myself. The ones who deliberately made a decision to make it harder for the next generations by reducing opportunities and prospects

    [News] Should we Bring Back National Service? Sunak says YES.

    having delved into the detail is that the military element is capped at 30k places. That is less than 5% of the target age group. So 95% will be doing voluntary work. Perhaps serco or Infosys (maybe even jcb) will be on a payday here. Follow the money

    [News] Should we Bring Back National Service? Sunak says YES.

    Since 2019 I don't think she has had that approach. She has been doe eyed in front of her dear Boris. Cummings admitted she was their go to journo to provide stories to. At the last election she posted details of postal vote counts ahead of polling day. She claimed Hancock had been assaulted...

    [News] Should we Bring Back National Service? Sunak says YES.

    I know right. The easy question for any political journo now is 'have you given up on levelling up'? Or even 'do you now admit that the brexit fund can't deliver what it promised'? Because that's where this money is coming from
