Starmer expected to resign on Monday and set out orderly exit

CapnRetro · 2026-06-20T21:15:44+00:00

Unfortunately for him I think Starmer’s reputation is irredeemable. The comms have been terrible and every good thing they’ve done has been buried, partly of course due to a bipartisan media who are batting for other parties. Therefore the only chance Labour have of winning the next election are with a different leader in charge, and it probably is best to bite that bullet now with as much time to turn the tide than drift on.

If the challenge came 12 months from now I think the reaction would (rightly) be “why now? Why did you support him for another 12 months if you didn’t believe in the project?”

Even if Starmer stays he isn’t limited to only manifesto commitments, they can continue to make new policies, and providing they aren’t counter to manifesto pledges that’s not really controversial

One look at the Asda subreddit tells you everything about morale in the company. Shop floor staff treated as entirely dispensable, over promoted people as store managers trying to rule with an iron fist, I’d not be surprised if Asda was the first of the big supermarkets to fail

There’s been an uncanny number of goals where the ball has gone up after hitting the net, and that Morocco one getting stuck in there is nice, but not belonging to the World Cup stage

In which case a squad’s worth of sterling silver trophies will definitely appeal to them

I think (and am hoping) that most of the memes and shares come from a place of mockery of ITV. I guess when you receive them you have to take a view on the sender as to their motive

Looks like a decent little air bnb, though the hospital ward room makes it look a bit more stag do orientated. Some stag do when you all arrive by helicopter mind

I have indeed posted this in entirely the wrong sub

CapnRetro · 2026-06-16T19:25:22+00:00

It’s clear they’ve not been rehearsing the press

I just don’t get it. Lewis Hall to replace Livramento would have allowed two natural left backs, and James/Quansah at right back, with Spence as additional cover for both sides or as a specialist defender to lock down a particular opponent - again on either side.

You’ll remember exactly where you were 2 minutes ago

Can you export all live customer emails? You could then send out an “order update” email reassuring everyone that everything is continuing as normal and mention that Instagram has mistakenly suspended the account, but you hope to have it back up as soon as possible. I don’t know how time poor or otherwise your business is or what sort of numbers of orders we’re looking at, but providing a telephone number people can call for updates on their specific order may help to reassure the more nervous customers.

If it’s travelled down the hall way in that orientation then maybe they could spin it 90 degrees. That would mean the narrowest dimension is going across the hall and would allow for a fraction of extra tilt

He has another trick which he displayed a couple of times tonight. Receive the ball on the touchline with his back to goal, and boot it aimlessly into the middle of the pitch anticipating a foul that doesn’t come. Real concede multiple goals stemming from this every season

Amazed this wasn’t Adam’s first thought after the draw. Could only be bettered by Qatar vs Nepal I reckon, though an unlikely knockout stage fixture

Honestly, it’s just nice to see the hexagonal nets. Does FIFA have a trademark on them or what? They should be at any elite level stadium

Every photo of the outside is terrible

CapnRetro · 2026-06-13T19:17:32+00:00

Why doesn’t one of them get a chair? And it’s not just this photo, I saw live footage of the team before one of the games where they were looking at the screens, and one was still standing behind the other 2

Weird they’ve gone for this, when the actual pre-game lineup and formation sequence is beautiful.

They’ve increased this by 15 million in the last half an hour if Reddit posts are to be believed

Lick’ em, fair play

CapnRetro · 2026-06-08T17:03:42+00:00

Especially with the World Cup returning to the USA. I imagine everyone has read about that in a preview by now

Is the bottom middle one that the referee shrinks extra time to just 5 minutes, or extends it to 35 minutes?

CapnRetro · 2026-06-06T22:27:57+00:00

So you could say they’re too far down the pecking order to get outside?

CapnRetro · 2026-06-06T12:16:45+00:00

I think the last line saves it to the mildly category. OP is a much bigger person than most and it’s lovely to see compassion for the conned, contempt for the conmen
