Football ain’t pretty granted and Dyche gonna get stick, but we’ve spent 200M this summer on absolute dross. Player signed for 30m already left, players brought in aren’t good enough and got no squad depth. Edu to blame for sanctioning all of it and ruining the season #nffc
All for giving managers time, but this is rubbish. Play just gets recycled from one side to the other and they have two corners and score. Play all this fancy stuff but if you can’t defend, game over. #nffc
Ladies and gentlemen if you want to get an insight into the neanderthal racist mindset have a look at this video.
It is dripping with uneducated, cold-hearted ignorance 🚮
🔴 Election Result: Rushcliffe turns Labour after 50 years of Conservative MPs
#Rushcliffe
Rushcliffe’s formerly safe Tory seat has turned red after more than 50 years of Conservative rule, marking an historic political shift for the borough and delivering one of the Tory party’s bitterest blows of the General Election.
James Naish (Lab) won the seat from Ruth Edwards (Con) with 25,291 votes, marking the end of a 54 years of Conservative domination previously typified by former Chancellor Lord Kenneth Clarke, who stood down in 2019.
Parliamentary Election – Thursday 4 July 2024
Rushcliffe constituency result
James Naish, Labour 25,291 ELECTED
Ruth Edwards, Conservative 17,865
James Grice, Reform UK 6,353
Richard Mallender, Green 4,367
Greg Webb, Liberal Democrat 3,133

Turnout: 73.22%
Ruth Edwards was elected in 2019, with a majority of just over 7,500.
That majority evaporated overnight on Thursday, with Mr Naish winning a margin of 7,426.
Turnout in Rushcliffe was 73.22 per cent, down from 78.95 per cent in the 2019 General Election, with 57,959 ballots being cast.
The last time that a Labour MP was elected in Rushcliffe was in 1966.
Mr Naish said: “I’m really pleased for the people of Rushcliffe that we’ve decided to make that change and now hopefully a Labour government can deliver on the change that people have been looking for.
“I think there has been a lot of changes in the local area… if you look at the trends in Rushcliffe they have been counternarrative to the wider election results- in the last election it saw Labour increase its vote.
“We have seen around 7,000 houses built since 2011 and into those houses theres a very different type of person moving and now living in Rushcliffe and that’s part of the narrative.”
Ruth Edwards faced a tense night, after exit polls predicted an almost certain defeat for her.
She said: “You’ve put your heart and soul into it… It’s a brutal, brutal game.
“I think the overriding factor has been the division in the party at a national level.
“Of course people want a united party to run the country and I don’t think we have presented them with that.”
On his plans for the area Mr Naish said: “We’ve spoken a lot about local council funding because of what has happened in the city, we’ve talked a lot about energy prices and so Great British Energy has been a positive proposition on the doorstep… rail as well.
“Theres an appetite for people to see change, they want to see things improve, they want to have confidence in public services.”
