Any chance the remainers STFU now? We’re going. Try for a deal by all means, but if the EU want us to bend over, tell em to poke it. No deal it is. Not looking for an argument here, just expressing a viewpoint. IMO, having secured a large Tory majority and power for at least 5 years, there's no cha...

No chance that Starmer will get enough support from Momentum types, (ditto Lisa Nandy, despite her many qualities) Long- Bailey would be as unelectable as Corbyn, since she bought into his "cult" Thornberry would fail north of Watford. Cooper is the "past". The one to watch - who would probably get ...

They can make all the waves they want, Johnson has a majority of 80 the ERG have been neutered! Well yes, (probably), but that's why I said that I'm not sure that it will see the end of Farage. His Brexit Party will make a lot of noise if it appears that we're heading towards a Norway type deal, (e...

The silver lining is the end of Nigel Farage’s political career. I wouldn't be too sure about that. He doesn't like Johnson's deal, and if (as is being suggested) Johnson now goes for the softest of brexits, (once thy get into trade talks), then Farage and the ERG will no doubt start making waves.

Johnson, he's shameless enough to do it. He'd just say this is the only way to get Brexit done. It's not as if he doesn't have previous for absolutely, definitely promising that Brexit will happen and then Brexit not happening.

Personally I wouldn't rule out a Tory/LD government with the second referendum being a condition of it. That would be a laugh. Who would be PM? In those circumstances I don't see how it could be Johnson. It won't happen, but if you're not ruling it out then you must have speculated about who would ...

Might as well take a look at Crawley and Mahmood over there. There's only pride to play for as no test points on offer.

If there isn't the potential of a points deduction, then how could you ever punish a club who has virtually limitless funds?
(Transfer embargo I suppose, but I think a points deduction would be more likely to keep clubs operating within the rules.)
