Some early turnout figures. Only a small sample but the pattern is increased turnout, particularly in pro-remain areas. Whether that will be repeated over the UK, who knows:

No. I'm one of those who reckons that the reason there is more use of food banks than there used to be is because food banks are more available and that the social stigma has gone. The financial hit from leaving the EU will not be as bad as the doom-mongers make out. For one thing, the exchange rat...

It'll have to be a Brexiteer for the sake of the Tory party. Because all those votes that have defected to the Brexit party - if there isn't a Brexit supporter at the helm when the next general election comes round, then many of them won't come back. I expect it will be Boris. The MPs won't dare to...

Interesting comparing their "efficiency" Rondon scored his 11 goals from 89 shots Wood scored his 10 goals from 59 shots Barnes scored his 12 goals from 65 shots It's obviously difficult to look at in isolation but for a club like us who don't create many shooting opportunities it is somet...

Just a note on the mixed pool, it isn't open to the public other than during the summer. The men's and women's pools are open all year round so the mixed pool isn't really a substitute.

City are he subject of an FFP inquiry which could see them chucked out of the Champions League, but don’t hold your breath...

One thing to note is that UEFA FFP is different to Premier League FFP is different to Football League FFP. UEFA FFP: Clubs can only spend €5m more than what they earn. However, there are some costs that are excluded (ground/training improvements, youth development, etc) so they may spend more and re...

I think the old man was one of the polling station workers sat outside the polling station which should answer most of your Qs Except he was wearing a Brexit Party rosette. You can't be working in a polling station with a party rosette. Of course he may have had stashed outside ready to put on whil...

I think the latest polls have the strong leave at 34 and strong remain at 28 - which would mean remain would need to pick up around 60 per cent of the rest to win a referendum. That's a big ask and I'd guess you're probably right, nothing has changed in three years, apart from opinions hardening. P...

Try me. 1 Did the EU block the UK government from bailing out the banks? 2 Does EU law prevent the current government from saving British Steel. Cut n paste . Start a fresh. Whatever you like. But stop avoiding. Surely proving somebody is an "outright liar" is something any right minded p...

You can stop the superiority trip you're on. Run the answers by again please. You can cut n paste it for speed if you like. But I really don't recall you explaining why my claim that The EU didn't stop bank bail outs. Yet prevents state aid saving British Steel. Were both "outright lies" ...

Both? Why so? I've answered that as well. If you're not going to read my responses there's little point in this. I know you want the world to be all simple where "EU bad, UK good" but that just isn't the case. Your frankly hilarious assertion that the EU was solely to blame for the UK job...

OK, back to the original. 2008 - Labour bail out the banks and saves London based bankers jobs. Costing the nation billions. The EU says , " that's fine." 2019 - The tories want to save thousands of steel workers jobs in the industrial north. Costing the nation millions. The EU says, &q...

I'm not sure it's that simple Nildesp. My perception is that No Deal Brexiteers will mainly vote UKIP or Brexit, and some will vote Conservative and some Labour. Brexit will also attract voters disgusted by the conduct of the two main parties. Most Conservative votes will come from TM deal supporte...

Don’t forget to vote today people. And do remember that a vote for the Brexit Party is a vote for an unrepentant IRA sympathiser representing the North West in Brussels.

I heard today that more Scottish citizens voted for Brexit than voted for Independence. I haven't checked the details but if this is right, and added to other arguments, I don't think the SNP will get any stronger. You shouldn't believe everything you hear. That's way out. About 60% more voted for ...

It's widely believed (just ask Lancaster) that the reason Cameron put the referendum in the 2015 Tory manifesto was because he was frightened of losing too many votes to UKIP, a party who had come to prominence under the leadership of Nigel Farage. Maybe someone else could have done the same job; b...

Let's also bear in mind that Dawson has played quite a bit at right back, (an area that many consider to need strengthening), so it would give us an additional option / cover there. 2 for 1- A centre back and a full back doesn't quite sound so expensive - though obviously he can't play in both posi...

So the Brexit Party are claiming they have raised just over 3 million in subscriptions and donations. They are 100,000 members who have paid £25 each and 1 person who publically admitted he has put in £200,000.

It shouldn't matter what she is paid and who she is paid by (obviously it does, but I'm making a point here) May should answer to the electorate.

So are you saying that in the long term teams like Preston are likely to be in better shape than us when we get relegated? Not really.
