@Victoria_Spratt First past the post is not fit for purpose. We need a proportional system. My current preference is an additional member system that allows for local MPs and national MPs to give both strong local voices but clearer national strategy

This is the problem Labour have got now and have had for some time - they are losing to the left and the right but they can’t simultaneously pivot both ways! It’s early, but as John Curtice has noted, some Reform gains appear to be down to the Greens also performing well and eating into Labour’s vote even if they don’t win.
Ben Ansell@benwansell

We will know much more about inter- and inter-bloc switching over the course of the day. But ultimately if you are losing in both directions it’s because people think you are crap. Pivoting one way or another won’t help you if the total consensus is you’ve stuffed it.

@Stephen59845260 @TheIanHalstead @I_amMukhtar I was clearly referring to the 'criminal' you referenced, which at point of hearing from a witness is a defendant. The point from the MP is incredibly absolute, offers no nuance so I can't see how you can jump to 'it's only for illegal migrants'.

@EdEmond18 @TheIanHalstead @I_amMukhtar The witness is not a defendant. Someone accused of a crime but not yet found guilty is a defendant And your comments are mixed up. In this circumstance I would not be in Spain illegally which I imagine is the point. And then it would be reasonable for me to have a translator

She’s incredibly stupid. How are lawyers meant to cross-examine foreign criminals if the only language allowed in English courtrooms is English? I know that she's sick of seeing Black and Brown people on TV, but her bigotry is next level.

@Stephen59845260 @TheIanHalstead @I_amMukhtar They are a defendant at that point, not a criminal. If you were in Spain & accused of a crime, or had an accident where someone got hurt that ended up in court, are you honestly saying that you'd be happy that justice was served by you not being able to put forward your defence?

@Stephen59845260 @I_amMukhtar So you'd rather see a violent criminal get away with their crime because the only witness can't speak English and so can't give evidence? Would you be happy with a British person being sentenced abroad because they weren't offered translators?

@I_amMukhtar Totally. Also would hope they would be up in arms if a British person got convicted abroad without access to translation.

@RKTweets Yeah, do see that. Ultimately not a problem we need to worry about today.

@EdEmond18 Think also we have a bit of a home grown issue still and we really need to be better in general at trading. But I’d hope this is a start of some sort of squad planning. But my confidence in the leadership is low

If we do stay up, it will be interesting what De Zerbi has been promised from a signing point of view. If we stay up - and it’s still a big if - we need to start the rebuild day one. No waiting.

@RKTweets Perhaps, but I also think it is important that the squad players are people the manager actually trusts and wants to play. Let's be honest, with the injuries, we will likely rely on players 20-25 in the squad far more than any other team

@EdEmond18 Yes. Similar thought passed my mind but I suspect that’s the system sadly. I’d hope they are just about getting players for the squad tied down before anyone else. But we need so much overhaul.

@RKTweets Signed players based on athletic profiles and forbade them from pressing. Bizarre

@RKTweets Not sure if we had this version of Fulham and we were that bad that we made them look good, or they turned up for us. Suspect the former.

Wonder when Fulham will turn up to the match today or if they're stuck on holiday still.

@Russellmania621 @NFL Is it not in the NFLPA's interests to have it this way? Encourages deals to be made earlier or let's guys get to free agency sooner. If option too specific, then there will be arguments when teams try to pay someone for the lower value e.g. Parsons as an LB rather than edge

@Russellmania621 Whilst I agree that it would be reckless to rely on him being something if he ends up in Washington, I do think some of this is SF propaganda. They voided all his guarantees, if they can't get in contact with him, why have they not cut him?

@JPFinlayNBCS at what point do we need to define @Mitch_Tischler 's center angst scale? Would be handy to understand how much a late 6th center would move the needle. I propose some kind of pancake scale (in honor of the pancake sack).

@RKTweets It's wild to think that winning 3 out of our last 15 would have been considered a terrible run, but would still have been enough for us to be comfortable. Finishing behind a team that has had 4 managers in a season is really quite remarkable

That loss at home against Forest on reflection was the moment wasn’t it.

@RKTweets @otheranthony Hopefully they still think that ageing men takes time. We kept frank for long enough, surely they go to the end of the season

@EdEmond18 @otheranthony Yup. I mean part of me thinks even they won’t cut him yet… because it proves they’re clueless but they can’t keep being this bad.
