@Baddiel @f1cowboyman Yeah, like that wasn't the only reason you did the interview.
English
@CaelemSG @FrankFWJH Thanks. I don't know anything about your system, but I imagine it takes a lot from ours?
English
@kt98765 @FrankFWJH Overall though I think this whole thing is mostly just trivia. I actually think it's a super power / asset of the Westminster system that we're able to change the leaders in governments without full elections. it's healthy for the extraordinarily unpopular leaders to resign early

@terrychristian Poor form doesn't preclude working hard and going on the plss.

He gets hate from some so-called United fans because
1. Some are racist twats
2. Some easily influenced by Tory press to hate on him for making Boris Johnson look the callous lying oaf he is and making him feed the kids
3. Some are too dim to see the nuances, ie poor form = downing tools , Looked to me like the whole team have downed tools at times
Paul Quinn@paulquinn79
@terrychristian He gets hate from United fans because: 1. He is incredibly inconsistent 2. He downed tools, lacked any reasonable effort, missed training, had numerous disciplinary issues at United before he left. 3. His worst season was the season after he signed his big money deal.

When you see the manic intensity club managers go through, you can understand why Tuchel is absolutely loving life as England manager as he whizzes around London on Lime bikes... for now

@kevinhatchard I think the majority of people are the opposite. If you're a millionaire why continue working, especially a job where dog's abuse is the norm.

A lot of people can’t compute this kind of thing, because being involved in football is the dream, but he’s made his money and being involved in football on any level tends to be an all-consuming endeavour. He’ll always be a World Cup winner.

🚨👀 Joachim Löw on his future: “So far, I have lacked the inner fire when it came to enquiries (…) Maybe I will receive an offer that truly excites me. But I think that is rather unlikely.” “I still follow football, but I have been out for several years now and the game has really evolved. Sometimes I think younger coaches with new energy and new ideas are the right choice - not me anymore, someone who has experienced so much and realistically cannot achieve much more.” 🇩🇪

@ShippersUnbound @ccfcwills "Murdoch's a scumbag" might be tricky I'm guessing.

@ccfcwills I do a job where I’m paid well to do it. I find it very odd when people go around judging who pays my wages. Neither of them has ever told me what to write

Absolutely love how John (surely soon to be ‘Sir John’) Slinger looks down to check the talking points from No. 10 as he spends hour after selfless (sic) hour as the only broadcast defender of Keir Starmer (apart from the post luncheon George Foulkes)
GB News@GBNEWS
‘Today you saw the man, the passion, the plan.’ Labour MP for Rugby John Slinger defends the Prime Minister following his ‘reset’ speech, calling it ‘inspired’.

@gilescoren @HeinzUK @GreggsOfficial Wow, how to shred any culinary credibilty in three seconds. Why didn't you just shlt in a bap and eat that instead?
English
This, by the way, is the open bottle of @HeinzUK tomato ketchup that the (perfectly nice and polite) server at @GreggsOfficial would not let me have a tiny squirt of on my sausage roll because “it’s only allowed on breakfasts” (which I don’t think they even sell).
English
@KayBurley He did the same to Corbyn, lied about his views to get the job then stabbed him in the back. That's showbiz.
English
I have never been a fan of Keir Starmer as Prime Minister. Top politicians need to realise it’s not just the message, but how you sell it that cuts through to the public psyche. His policies may well have been among the best for the country and some undoubtedly were but Sir Keir never seemed able to land them with the public. Voters rarely reward policies they don’t emotionally connect with. Yesterday’s reset speech didn’t help. What exactly was he trying to tell us.
Now, in what could be the death throes of his tenancy in No 10 after less than two years at the top, I do find myself feeling for him. He pulled himself up by his bootstraps and reached not one but two of the highest offices in the land.
So, as the wannabes circle the Cabinet table this morning, positioning for what may come next, spare a thought for a man who genuinely wanted to make a difference, but never quite mastered the art of making his case.
Fair?

@Meliden @KayBurley Also what do you classify as a large donation? Glasses/concert tickets or a £5m bung that Farage took to make crypto his core policy?
English
@GraemeFrew5 @williamnhutton Yes, Sunak chugged along with little objection without a mandate.
English
@williamnhutton Why would a general election be required? The Conservatives changed leader several times without one.
English
To be plain. If Starmer is forced out the pressure to hold a general election in disastrous circumstances will become intense. It’s always been Farage’s long game. Everyone must start thinking strategically. This is not student or union politics: it’s the future of Labour.
Will Hutton@williamnhutton
Starmer’s incapacities are obvious. However he has a mandate. As soon as he is replaced in however an ‘orderly fashion’ British media bias will become deadly. One rule on lack of mandates for the right: another for the left. The cabinet must plan skilfully; it could get worse.

@people Rod Stewart is a douche. While he’s welcome to his opinion of our President, it’s disgusting that he has no issue taking full advantage of all the riches and advantages America has brought him while insulting half our country. Just another out-of-touch, hypocritical celebrity.

@annemcelvoy Are PM's wives/partners in other countries as low profile as most of ours?
English
Likely Vic Starmer will be the decisive voice that Keir will listen to tonight.
When the memoirs are written, it’s so often the spouse who tells wounded leaders when to go- because they genuinely have their other half’s personal interests at heart rather than the inevitable political /career alignment of everyone else around a PM.
And they can also see a future beyond Downing Street, which the rest caught up in the madness tend to forget.
