I'm not a some overt supporter of Starmer, but if you want to see how manipulation and misinformation works on this platform, @toryboypierce's post here can be used as an exemplary example of disingenous, misleading BS.

The data he is referring to is 25 year data. When Starmer took office debt was 99.5% of GDP, today it's 94.2% of GDP. That's actually a fall of 5.3%. The UK is the world's 5th largest economy, recently upgrading from 6th. Debt is not increasing, and the UK is not a third world country - far from it.

Andrew takes 25 year data and attributes poor performance to one of the few Prime Ministers during that era who actually reduced debt to gbp.

Do we wonder why the working man on the street has been made to hate Starmer with all this utter BS circulated by these compromised grifters?

Absolutely pointless T20 World Cup final again, normal Indian monopoly ruling over the world of cricket, one challenging pitch and the USA give them the scare of their life to its flat pitches and boring cricket for the rest of the tournament, boring and pointless 👍

Brendon McCullum, Rob Key and anyone else who was involved in the decision to force Jimmy Anderson into early retirement just to serve up this tripe should be removed the second this series is done.

Doesn’t sound like a guy who is being put under pressure by the “way we want to play” does he?

[Richard Mann @Richard_Mann11]

They’ve learnt nothing from Perth. Driving on the up again.

What’s the coach doing? Ah, I forgot, he’s not a technique coach.

I’m old enough to remember when Josh Tongue kept bowling out India’s lower order.

[Nellberg cricket 🏏 @nellbergcricket]

Lad at the other end is going ok like, maybe the lower order could bat for him?

Nah, that's old school cricket

Why do that?

Let's take on a guy who averages about 7 with pink ball

That's the way we play

Play our natural game

Gotta put pressure on the bowlers

[Will 🚾🏆 @ohlookitswill_]

Feels like now is the perfect time for Smith to try a few ramps and put some pressure back on the bowlers

[Yorkshire CCC @YorkshireCCC]

The greatest.

[Lawrence Booth @BoothCricket]

England said before the game they'd get better at identifying the key moments. Back comes Mitchell Starc, with the floodlights on, and Brook has a wild drive at his second ball. England 176 for 4.

Australians have to be some of the softest whinging folk on earth

[Kevin Framp @BigKev67]

The frustrating thing about England is that the talent is there. But they refuse to learn any lessons or adapt their method when required. And they continue to piss away strong positions.

[James McCaghrey @MccaghreyJames]

Well this was nice, let's try again in 2029/30.

[TheCricketMen @thecricketmen]

Smith at 3pm tomorrow afternoon as Crawley tons up.

Australia 14
England 4

Can’t fault England’s effort … They brought plenty of energy, physicality and passion to the contest … They just lack the finesse … Short on creativity and a genuine attacking plan to trouble the Australian defensive line …

Australia weren’t great by any measure … It some ways they were quite poor … But they weathered the physical barrage and defended really well … It was enough to win the day … Australia retains the Ashes …

England needs more regular top level competition … Both domestically in their own league, and Internationally they need to be playing more regularly …

Love watching England play … They need to play more often … The UK Super League needs more depth and development …

International rugby league can be such a great product … A strong England would be such an asset to the game
