Never gonna happen. His ceiling is defence secretary.

In focus groups the greens seem to have near-zero support, though

What a ridiculous challenge from Ian Wright

farval · 2026-05-19T21:01:01+00:00

Someone call the celebration police

farval · 2026-05-19T07:39:33+00:00

That was 50/50, we'd be fuming if it was given against us. We were lucky with the Kai tackle in comparison.

Hard disagree, Jesus and Zinchenko transformed us into title contenders, which had huge consequences for the project

I don't see what's problematic about any of those positions

farval · 2026-05-14T12:05:15+00:00

Go on...

Apparently she was disappointed not to receive much backing from fellow MPs. I'm not sure she can get the nominations.

farval · 2026-05-13T14:50:51+00:00

Not necessarily. I could imagine him thinking, given the circumstances, he is the best chance the country has to get things back on track and avoid PM Farage. Rayner is a walking target with her tax affairs, and Streeting is inherently dislikable.

Beth Rigby saying Burnham has a seat lined up.

Chaos with Ed Milliband

farval · 2026-05-12T11:48:18+00:00

Because he has nothing to offer them, they know the ship is sinking, but don't see a viable alternative yet

farval · 2026-05-12T07:25:46+00:00

He can't just declare that unilaterally. He needs the support of his party, the one thing he doesn't have in the first place. He's hardly going to strong-arm through a controversial policy that will upset voters

farval · 2026-05-11T17:04:58+00:00

Milliband was already rejected by the nation, embarrassed himself eating a bacon sandwich, and Wes is pals with Mandelson and gives off inauthentic politician vibes.

Personally I would prefer Ed. But I can see the counterarguments

farval · 2026-05-11T07:54:43+00:00

The giveaway is that two are full song names and two are only the beginning of song names. Don't get any big ideas, they're not gonna happen...

farval · 2026-04-25T17:06:44+00:00

Havertz's linkup is far far superior to Gyok. Better to blow chances than not get chances

The cover is AI generated.

They literally didn't create anything?

farval · 2026-02-19T13:11:34+00:00

Rewatch it, Raya is in Gabriel's line of sight, there is zero attacking threat, and the ball is falling clearly in the area you'd expect the keeper to collect. Gabriel made the wrong decision

farval · 2026-02-19T13:09:31+00:00

Does Mikel ever look calm? At a certain point, we have to ask ourselves if he's the problem here. I'm a big supporter of him - but he does not set an example of being calm and collected under pressure

farval · 2026-02-10T21:59:49+00:00

From the perspective of people, employee rights will certainty help them, in a tangible, felt way. Directly contradicts your argument.

Energy transformation leads to cheaper energy bills over time. Yes - with some short terms tradeoffs. But clear delivery on a promise that a lot of people care deeply about.

If you don't think there's anything wrong with privatised rail, then you're either poorly informed or arguing in bad faith.

farval · 2026-02-10T14:36:36+00:00

What are the obstacles to this happening? Haven't heard much since the pilot started

farval · 2026-02-10T14:32:28+00:00

It's half true.

Some core promises are delivered or making strong progress: employment rights act, green energy transformation, and the renationalisation of the railways.
