Political / football hot take.
Andy Burnham is Xabi Alonso to Kier Starmer’s Arne Slot.
Popular choice that would immediately improve the mood in the short term but doubts persist as to the long term viability of the change…
Countless others by this great Canadian band....
Either of our future prime ministers there.
“We’re going to struggle to get on board with this Greenland thing tbh - but here’s a thing you could slag Britain off about that we could get behind”.
I assumed this’d been Farage tbh. But there you go.
He got bored didn’t he?
Last week:
"The economy is doing terribly: Reeves must resign"
This week:
"The economy is doing better than expected: Reeves must resign"
And people say @teamlabouruk.bsky.social 's comms are incoherent.
3. The economy is doing terribly, but not THAT terribly (in which case I would suggest speaking to any small business owner, anyone who works in the public sector, or anyone who isn't a multi-millionaire)
2. Actually we did an excellent job of running the economy - unlike this lot (in which case, why is literally everything falling to bits?)
Something about the Tories' (and their press friends') "Reeves lied" thing doesn't quite add up.
What are they saying exactly:
1. Actually the economy is doing brilliantly (in which case, doesn't that slightly invalidate their central claim)
I think it’s also important to remember apropos of nothing in particular that moment in the 2015 labour leadership election when Andy Burnham was asked what his favourite biscuit is and he said “I prefer beer, chips and gravy”.
Hmm. So. Starmer’s speech. Actually pretty good.
I actually gave “Trump / Musk” 18 months. They’ve barely made 6.
Well played Newcastle. Glad we got a goal at least.
Good finish by Chiesa tbf.
#LFC have been awful in this game.
I must’ve missed the “crack down on wokery” bit…
“Hopefully Vladimir Putin will do the right thing”.
The master deal maker strikes again.
PSG probably deserved that overall tbf.
Worrying thing is losing after a 2 hour match (and losing 2 key players) 4 days before a final…
“You never know, Man U might do us a favour” something every #lfc fan has (wrongly) thought at some point…
One of THE great European away performance
THE REDS #lfc
Gotta say Apple, big fan of the new “security delay” feature on the new iPhone. Always wanted the ability to wait an entire hour before being able to reset my password so I can watch a film.
Sometimes you need to look at the fundamentals.
Whilst Starmer did kind of well yesterday - and I admire him for trying his best - it’s pretty obvious now that the Trump admin aren’t on our side, and sadly no amount of letters from the King or state visits are going to change that.
Very clever of the Leader of HM Opposition there to use a moment of profound national importance and unity to remind the nation of the main talking points from a mad speech she gave at a right wing think tank. Leadership.
Absolutely YES LADS #lfc
Really want #lfc to get back to going ahead and winning the game. I liked that.
Not a terrible result all things considered.
Totally unable to see a result through to either half or full time atm.
This really isn’t good enough from #lfc
