@jo3ycov@Anthony_Hornsby I don't disagree. We'll have a hung parliament no doubt. Labours best interest was getting Starmer out and giving Burnham the best crack in a couple of years time.
I'll never trust the Lib Dems after 08. Sold students the dream to immediately sell out and sit with Cameron
@jo3ycov@Anthony_Hornsby He got more votes than the other 13 candidates combined. He wiped the floor.
Proportionately, Reform will perform ok in the next GE. Once people realise they can't win in a FPTP, they'll drop off - we'll talk of Farage as a use case for PR, Unlike JC where claimed he's unpopular
@jo3ycov@Anthony_Hornsby The biggest question is why Reform et al calling for an election, but not calling for by-elections for defected Tories.
Farage calling for Rayner to stand down due to tax avoidance (I agree with) but then doing the same thing.
Hypocrisy.
@jo3ycov@Anthony_Hornsby Tories won 2 general elections under Cameron with mid 30% proportions, i wouldnt say its a Labour trend.
The reality is, Burnham has shown he can wipe the floor with Reform (weather he can on a national scale TBC), hence why he'll become Labour leader.
@jo3ycov@Anthony_Hornsby Proportionately, in 2017 Corbyn recieved 40% of vote share in the UK.
FPTP politics killed his chances, not how well liked he was.
The fact Farage et al are calling for a GE, despite taking rats in from the sinking Tory ship is laughable.
@IAmMudded@KimJongPune The Internet is a wild place ain't it. Because you find a sticker on a lamppost funny, you must be pro grooming and rape gangs ๐
Bad energy out of these absolute numpties.
I think Scotland is akin to Boston and England is akin to New York. The arrogance. The looking down on. Zero class. Negative energy. While Scots are the opposite.
Fair play to whoever set the Rugby to Euston train temperature this morning at 1000 degrees knowing the train would be crammed in like Sardines and weather in the 30s. Already looking forward to the train home.
For as long as the Midland Mainline is closed at Bedford, train operators, including LNR, are accepting tickets for @EastMidRailway customers.
If your journey is affected, we'll accept tickets on any alternative route.
@TLRailUK tickets are also being accepted on our services.
Americans really do need to understand that more expensive does not mean better. I don't think its been as bad as I thought it would be, but never met a nation so gluttons for being ripped off
America should host the World Cup every single time.
We've got 40+ stadiums that hold 65,000+ spectators. The rest of the world combined can barely match that.
FIFA ticket sales?
2010 (South Africa): $300 million
2014 (Brazil): $527 million
2018 (Russia): $541 million
2022 (Qatar): $686 million
2026 (Mostly USA): >$3 billion projected
Even adjusted for more teams (48 vs 32) and more group stage matches, these numbers are off the charts, and exclude hospitality, F&B, travel, hotels, etc.
Just ask Freddy.
Coventry City have today submitted a second bid for Carl Rushworth, worth ยฃ26.5 +ยฃ5m in potential add ons. #PUSB#CCFC#BHAFC
Brighton are now asking for a ยฃ40m all in package. I expect this one to get over the line, eventually.
Carl Rushworth hasn't even emptied his locker.
@davidcollinscv4 I am assuming the majority in the "premium" area got a premier league package. Wasn't it ยฃ480 for a season ticket there, or ยฃ500 to chance it. Guessing the majority did the maths and paid the extra ยฃ20. Not to say I think its right, just, don't think there will be loads impacted.
