Protect them from what though? Because Russia won’t attack the UK soil and the UK won’t send troops to Ukraine, because there won’t be a ceasefire if it’s planned that we do.

Why do people believe that Russia is going to agree to a ceasefire that involves British troops (aka NATO) being placed in Ukraine? Surely the prime minister isn’t that naive?

I mean that’s all well and good but the metrics that will actually see how he’s judged are still going in the wrong direction. I have no doubt that underneath the political clothes, Starmer is a good, moral man but as a country we’re screwed and no PM is going to be able to fix that without making incredible structural changes to the way this country is run.

A cross for this and the death thread. Sad news for a national treasure.

In Canada, through a combination of Trudeau resigning and Trump’s threats, the Liberal party have gone from 20 points behind to ahead in the polls, which to say is remarkable would be an understatement.

It’s so cringe how the narrative is that you have to mollycoddle Trump. Like you say, he’s easy to read, he’s not actually winnable and it makes us look even weaker, desperate and embarrassing that we already are.

Ainsley Harriott, Dale Winton (RIP), the Would I lie to you lot, Ross kemp.

He can’t even take the Donbass after 10 years, why do people think Putin is gonna roll through Europe? And also even if he tried, what would be his incentive? He’s a bad man but he’s not Hitler. He’s just another fool like Brezhnev

He’s gonna win the europa league and retire. It’s written in the stars. If they can get past Bilbao, it’s a simple run to the final.

I tell you who is quality, Khusanov at Man City.

Didn’t realise he was on 7, been a few close calls this season.

The obvious thing there is that the weather was atrocious for most of the blast. I can think of one game that was in sunshine and that was the same day England were playing in the euros, so I do have sympathy. But ultimately the commercial side has to improve as the squad is pretty threadbare now as it is.

Enjoying Forest’s defensive set piece tactic of falling on the floor and getting a free kick everytime. One way to kill arsenals threat.

The test side is still decent, easily a top 4 in the world but the vibes are all wrong. There’s just not enough responsibility and an arrogance that runs through both teams. You can also tell these guys just aren’t equipped to play 50 over cricket, throwing wickets away playing appalling shot after appalling shot at the exact wrong times. If you can’t bat your overs, you’re gonna lose at this level.

Forest look bobbins here but Arsenal are rubbish up front so I expect a breakaway Chris Wood goal in the next 10 minutes

Another moral victory for England!

He can’t move!

Who would realistically go down? Wolves may be weaker if they lose Cunha but then it’s unlikely they’ll be near as bad as this season. Bournemouth and Forest could implode having to balance European football? But aside from that, the idea that 1 would stay up let alone 3 seems slim.

Lost it all on Paul Stirling’s nutrition bill.

Brook is really, really annoying. Don’t get me wrong a GREAT player as his test match average suggests. But 25 from 21 in this context is appalling and I wish his ability in tough circumstances matched his self grandiosity.

Oh boy, the last time I checked they were 45-3

Sounds like Starmer just soft launched WW3 😬 time to get into shape and stockpile

The latest ‘he’s such a good owner, taking his club to the champions league’ while funding the bombs raining on Ukraine.

That is probably the worst thing he could do. He’s got to go there and be a lap dog unfortunately. Although for some unfathomable reason, Trump seems to quite like Starmer.

Three guesses which Greek shipping oligarch makes the most money from this?
