Top 4 for Liverpool. No Europe getting in the way.

He's the manager now anyway, so I am going to put my past misgivings on hold and give him a chance. The only problem is that if he does succeed at all, his completely unjustifiably massive ego will become somewhat validated. And no one wants to see that!

But on this point I sort of disagree. Superstars are Messi, Ronaldo, Suarez, Ibrahimovic, Beckham (in his day). Most of these players need someone that will stop pandering to them and explain that despite the ludicrous pay they get from their clubs, they are laughing stocks on the international stage, and need to have a bloody word with themselves. Bit of tough love, which is one thing he might be good for.

That does sound horrible. I can't find any news stories about this, which I hope means the girl is okay. Definitely worth reporting this to Lambeth. I think the lido is a Fusion pool.

I can't talk for brown sauce, but daddies ketchup is bloody horrible. Heinz and only Heinz.

Sriracha!

Because he's not American?

Interesting read, thanks for the link.

The Canary is every bit as biased as The Sun.

But I was very impressed with Corbyn at Cameron's last PMQ's yesterday. Thought it was a shame he doesn't come alive a bit more often.

And as for anyone posing links to The Canary, I have read many of their articles entitled "the truth about.....", "the real reason........." and stuff like that. It's hugely biased nonsense and tin foil hat stuff most of it.

No no no no no! Local party meeting are being completely hijacked by Momentum and anyone that isn't with them is being made to feel very uncomfortable, that is why they are being suspended, because Momentum are the ones that don't actually want democracy, they just want it their way.

You lost me at "jazz".

Yes. Sam Allardyce.

Yeah, I think May's new government will crack on with Brexit ASAP to be honest. If nothing else it sheilds her from having to call a General Election.

According to the comments under that article, several of the loopholes have been closed until after the election (such as the Labour Scientists option).

And why are Momentum assuming that all these new members are Corbyn supporters. I know quite a few that signed up straight after the referendum so that they could vote against him if a challenge came.

I agree that it's unfair for people that have actually joined up and paid fees for the past 5 months to be denied a vote. But I do think there should be a cut off maybe a month ago. I am not remotely convinced that a lot of the people that have joined in the past fortnight will not just cancel their membership as soon as the leadership is decided. But on the wider "registered supporters" subject, what makes people think they should have the right to choose a political party's leader without being a member? It was wrong at ?3, it's wrong at ?25. If people actually care about Labour and who leads it, join up. Otherwise jog on!

So, looking very much like BFS is England's new boss. Who knows, maybe this is the job for him. He's supposedly one for analysing opponents closely and building a system to beat them. Perhaps the International football schedule will suit him, giving him time to really prepare for matches... Yes I am trying to convince myself that this could be in any way positive.

And this is the problem, and has been since the 70s or 80s. Back then there was a pretty clear divide between "the workers", blue collar types, and those that would have been more likely to vote Tory. But that divide between "working class" and "middle class" has been increasingly blurred over the years, and Labour need to appeal to a much wider demographic.

Yep, although in reality a lot of people couldn't name their local MP and vote for the leader.

This is a few years old, but shows how common it is for PMs to come to power not by general election. https://fullfact.org/news/unelected-prime-ministers-common-or-not/
