Farage is banking on Starmer not changing the UK voting system before the next election so he takes advantage of FPTP’s springboard to power. Remember, Labour won TWO-THIRDS of all seats with only ONE-THIRD of the vote. Reform could do the same & seize power on the back of a small minority of votes.

So much for Bazball, when are we going to find some English bowlers who can give England a chance of winning? Seriously poor bowling.

In 1938, the Munich Agreement - sought peace through appeasement, allowing Hitler to annex part of Czechoslovakia, rather than bringing peace, appeasement emboldened aggression. A settlement rewarding Russia's aggression would not bring lasting peace & set a precedent far beyond Ukraine's borders.

Well done Zelenskyy, this deal could have been devised by the Corleone family, you should hold firm!

I’ve always ‘thought’ that Montgomery was a twat, now I’m sure of it!

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🦁⚽️🏆 #Arsenal 0-1 West Ham – FT! A huge blow to Arsenal’s title hopes as Bowen’s goal seals a priceless win for West Ham. Is this the spark for Graham Potter’s reign? A damaging defeat for Arteta’s side. #AFC #WHUFC

Hitting small businesses, farming inheritance and elderly people’s heating allowance seems to have been a preferred choice. Hardly the action of a ‘Labour’ Government with any sense of social caring!

Very disappointing English bowling today, (not sure how Archer gets picked) only tempered by West Ham’s famous victory at the ‘Highbury Library’

Ed Davey, "Our closest ally, the United States, is now supporting Russia, removing itself from the defence of Europe and the UK" "We've got to make the defence of our country our top priority"

Kamala was right. And it only took him less than 30 days to roll over for Putin.

On target

Has this programme been shown in the USA? It is American weapons that have enabled Israel to commit these terrible atrocities. When the Israeli Government has been found guilty of these war crimes, with 18,000+ dead children, let’s not forget who provided the weapons. www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m...

Europe won’t be able to afford US made weapons as they get a price increase with the reciprocal tariffs in Trump’s economic plan. Europe needs to ramp up its own defence industry with immediate effect and distance itself from US dependency.

We shouldn’t worry too much about spending 5% of GDP on Defence. Just maintain current ‘actual’ spending and leave Reeves/Starmer in charge of our hard Brexit economy. Our ‘current’ spending will be 5% in no time!

Is Starmer taking his backbone medication now? The opportunity for Europe to take a leadership position on this and other questions is now clear and paramount. The USA don’t want this responsibility any more. Good!

‘Ukraine still on 'irreversible path to joining NATO' Starmer tells Zelenskyy’ Is Starmer taking his backbone medication now? The opportunity for Europe to take a leadership position on this and other questions is now clear and paramount. The USA don’t want this responsibility any more. Good!

RIP Ronnie, thank you for all the pleasure you bought to so many Hammers fans over many years.

Yet she, like others continues to support this useless Government!

This !!

Democrats had 4 years to put a winnable Presidential candidate in place to avoid this. They must carry the primary blame for what is happening now.

Tesla sales are down 41 percent in Germany, *63 percent* in France. LOL www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

The quality of football, high pressing and concentrated defending is much better under ‘Harry’ Potter. Keep at it Irons and the results will come. COYI

The country’s greatest act of self-harm.

The manifesto was supported by only 33.7% of the popular vote. Hardly a mandate. FFS start delivering the growth you say we desperately need NOW! Building homes on grade 1 agricultural land and poisoning the atmosphere in West London provides zero growth TODAY when it’s most needed!

3 people in 10 still supporting Brexit, wow that’s not many. Also, the same number who voted Labour at the last election. Wow, that’s not many!

Looks like HM Official Opposition was too embarrassed to hear the arguments.

SAVE US FROM THIS FUCKWITTERY! In response to “Businesses want you to join the Customs Union & the Single Market. Why won't Labour do that?" Reeves replied , "Because we're going to deliver on our manifesto promises" 33.7% of the vote? That’s a mandate for bugger all! LISTEN TO THE PEOPLE

“Progress in lowering barriers to trade with the EU, the UK’s biggest market, would deliver a positive jolt to sentiment” Come on guys. This is painful. It’s our biggest market. There’s no magic formula. And no Brexit benefits. If there were, we’d know about them by now. www.ft.com/content/5452...

GROWTH? IT WON’T HAPPEN UNTIL YOU GET RID OF HARD BREXIT! Do wake up! Everybody thinks you’re nuts. You’re becoming a bit of a joke. Stop fannying about and rejoin the SM & CU! And when you do, guess what? Growth will happen!

Well played West Ham, unlucky not to get all 3points. COYI

Come on Harry Potter, show us some magic!

Cat and mouse!

IS STARMER OUT OF HIS MIND? Trump’s already setting fire to the world. He’s completely nuts, and yet our prime minister hasn’t taken a single measure to shield us from the American lunatic. We should be REJOINING THE SM & CU and strengthening our ties with Europe. We’re not. Crazy!

“Are the benefits from a trade deal with the US a fraction of what we have lost from leaving the European Union under Brexit"? No! 42% of UK trade is with the EU 15% with the US Re-Join the single market and the customs union NOW! Reeves needs to open her eyes!

There are 71 Lib Dem MPs who could have removed this individual as leader but failed to do so. I suspect that they are trying to emulate the 2019 election where a party led by a buffoon was successful. This is so disappointing and sad!

YOU’RE UNFATHOMABLE! No prime minister in his right mind would live with HARD Brexit. But then you came along. Your pig-headed obduracy knows no bounds. So what’s your real agenda? Do you have one or is this prime minister thing just all a bit too much for you? rejoinandreform.co.uk

SO WE’RE TRUMP PROOF ARE WE, PRIME MINISTER? Are we hell! We’re lumbered with an idiot of a prime minister who refuses the security of being part of the most successful trading bloc in history and instead leaves us vulnerable to being cut off at the knees by Trump tariffs. Madness!

THE WORLD THINKS YOU’RE NUTS! The look on your face when Polish prime minister, Donald Tusk said he had a dream of Britain rejoining the EU, of BRETURN! The majority of the British people dream of BRETURN too, but we’re saddled with you, and you’re a nightmare!

Good effort West Ham, nice football and unlucky you had a BENT referee who WRONGLY awarded Villa a corner kick for the equalising goal. COYI
