@AllisonPearson I think it is a case of be careful what you wish for. Starmer is dreadful but I can only see worse options looking to replace him.

What does it matter if Starmer goes or stays? His successor won’t know how to grow the economy Won’t cut state spending Won’t stop the boats Won’t offend its Muslim client group Won’t stand up for working people against “progressive” crap. Labour is the problem.

@Nath_Salop @salopcarl Apart from a stylish run, an ability to jump reasonably high what strengths has he got to play to? He can’t hit a barn door from six feet. I think the term “leaves me cold” is a good description.

@salopcarl I'm not sure any side ever has played to his strengths, looking at his record.

Not a huge amount of surprises here, really. Hope Hoole in particular signs on. George Lloyd leaves me cold and has a poor record, but people seem to like him and he strikes me as a nice lad - I'm just not sure I've seen enough evidence he's League 2 quality. #Salop

@XOQueenEsther This is the most accurate, logical and cogent tweet I have read today.

Prince Harry 'very sad' about Royal Family's distance from Archie and Lili. Translation: “I’m broke, irrelevant, and the Netflix/Spare money is drying up, so let me use Archie and Lili as emotional leverage to crawl back into the Royal Family’s good graces.” Harry, you repeatedly said you felt trapped, that the institution was toxic, and that you wanted to protect your family from that same “cage.” So why are you now sad that the people you publicly attacked and walked away from are keeping their distance? If you truly believed what you said, you would stay far away, renounce your titles, and remove Archie and Lili’s titles as well so they can live freely outside the “trap” you described. You can’t burn the house down, move across the ocean, trash the family for profit and then act shocked when they don’t invite you back. Pick a lane, Harry.

@THEMACHOPEAS @shrewsburytown Tweet of the day! 😅

@shrewsburytown no more Marquis

Shrewsbury Town can now confirm the club’s retained and released list following the conclusion of the 2025/26 season 📝 We'd like to place on record our sincere thanks to all departing players for their hard work and commitment during their time at the club. They all leave with our very best wishes for the future 💙 Full story: shrewsburytown.com/news/2026/may/…

@lukew_powell I would hesitate to sign him on a free, if they want a fee for him I think our meagre reserves could be better spent.

#Salop 🔵🟠 Shrewsbury Town loanee Bradley Ihionvien has been transfer listed by Peterborough United shropshirestar.com/sport/football…

@Salop_Nathan Unless there is new investment I can see these lads playing a big part next year along with loan signings. Cowan has an advantage this year because most of the dross are out of contract. As close to a clean sheet as a manager can get.

It may have been a miserable season but we have so many promising players 23 and under and with Gav I trust if they’re good enough they’ll get their chance Brook- 22 Hoole- 23 Lee- 21 Gray- 17 England- 18 Loughran- 19 Aiston- 15

@BBCMOTD There is a simpler way to manage this which requires very little administration. Whenever any player receives treatment ALL outfield players have to stand in the centre circle. No mucking about, into the centre and no communication with sidelines.

"Something needs to be done" about players going down 😤 Do you agree with Danny Murphy's suggestions?

What is a “meeting in the traditional sense”? Meetings come in all shapes and forms don’t they? What semantic trickery is Labour trying to pull now?

@StuartLewis66 @bowbrookshrew @shrewsburytown This has been on the cards for a year, if fans had been that bothered they would have made sure they bought them. With the social media inputs of YouTube, X and Instagram the programme has become outmoded.

@bowbrookshrew @shrewsburytown Absolutely nothing to do with costs. I contacted the club with an offer of help but they said the fans didn’t want a programme anymore! 🤥

Yesterday saw the end of the regular printed match day programme at @shrewsburytown Cut expenditure rather than increase turnover move ? 140th anniversary next season so plenty of material to use, give it one more year ? Correct decision to scrap it ? #Salop 🔵🟠

@DPJHodges @oldishbird1 Pretty sure that is what happened

@oldishbird1 Correct. There is no debate. There was a meeting. That’s it.

OK, we need a clear answer from Government on this now. On Palintir Darren Jones just said “this was not a meeting in the traditional sense”. Keir Starmer specifically told the House on Monday “that was a routine meeting”. So which one is lying.

@zatzi I agree entirely with your sentiment but I do wonder whether these sessions should be conducted in private. I realise there would be dissent to the notion but I think the country’s credibility not to mention security is being eroded with each revelation.

👀🍿👀

@DawnNeesom Even Ed Davey was sensible!!!! 😳

If you had Emily Thornberry & Diane Abbott on your 'heroes of 2026 bingo card' I'll give you the money myself. Mad days🤪 #Starmer #EmilyThornberry #Mandelson

Resign.

@afneil @stuartroberts18 Her most effective contribution to the house for many years.

Deadly question from Diane Abbott — about Starmer’s glaring incuriosity.

@LeeHarris The whole World will have laughed and is laughing at him and our country. He is not only making us a laughing stock but is weakening our credibility and security.

🚨HILARIOUS: The whole house just LAUGHED at Keir Starmer! Starmer: "I know many members across the house will find these 'facts' to be incredible" Parliament: 😂😂😂 He's lost all credibility! The man is not fit for office.

@lukew_powell He couldn’t hit a cow’s arse with a banjo! 🤷🏻 #Salop

#Salop What a chance for George Lloyd! He skies a brilliant opportunity inside the box… Morgan breaks for Town after penalty appeals at the other end, finds Lloyd and he blasts over! Perry is replaced by Freeman. Anderson comes on for Lee.

That’s enough for me… Keir Starmer has to go.

@ShrewsburyJohn1 @Tezzadp @alewis36 The thought of being in the same room as some of those players and listening to the manager telling everyone how clever he is, is just not appealing to me. Fair play to everyone who has bought a ticket though.

@Tezzadp @alewis36 I see the 200 tickets for the “fans night award” flew off the shelf. When Cotts was here they went immediately, I bought 2 last year and thought? Can’t be bothered even though it cost £20

Just about survive relegation. Season ticket sales aren't selling well...... Now say we are in takeover talks!

@AllisonPearson She has been exposing herself as a crap Chancellor from the outset. The removal of the latest figleaf is just reaffirmation. You can’t hate these buffoons enough

Rachel Reeves is “angry and frustrated” the Iran war has torn off the figleaf and exposed her as a crap Chancellor. UK is going to suffer the worst downturn in the G7 because our energy costs are so high. British people will show how “angry and frustrated” they are on 7 May.

@nickjames_1 @salopcast Remember that the players that have transformed our season were signed by Appleton. I wonder if GC will have the pulling power & contacts, particularly in the loan market which will be vital to bring in quality given our budget. It a tough task ahead.

@salopcast Does GC need a DoF? We cannot afford another lacklustre summer transfer window. MM clearly not the right person, doesn’t necessarily mean not the right model?

We plan to do our next podcast this coming weekend (Sunday) 🔷🔶
