That decision today was awful. If VAR doesn’t change the red card and give a penalty then it is truly pointless. In away before VAR when decisions were clearly wrong it was easier to justify as humans make mistakes. But now we see constant errors where being able to watch them back should fix them. I was convinced earlier this season there was a conspiracy against us but now after today and the Southampton game I’m convinced that either the officials are truly useless or there’s something more sinister going on. Decisions are always wrong and are influencing almost every game but completely randomly.

Rashford I used to always say if he wasn't playing for Man Utd he would be playing in the Championship. I think other people might be seeing it now.

He was an adviser to Theresa May. Parachuted into a safe seat. No connection to the area from what I gather. He was highly thought of in the Tory party when he first came in a couple of elections ago and has served as a junior minister but appears to be out of favour a little. People talk about him as a good constituency MP but he’s backed everything bad the tories have done the last few months.

I’ve actually had very good personal dealings with the guy. My views are not about him personally. As a young student I needed work experience. My university mp ignored me. My local MP from my family home (Edward Garnier - Ex Harborough mp) ignored me. I contacted all the Leicester mps. Jonathan Ashworth was the only one to reply and offered me 4 weeks of work experience. I ended up declining for another offer but it was never lost on me his response and kindness.

A whole other discussion and I think you know my feelings on it. But yes I do understand your point about other issues being important

I agree but it can be a reason why you don’t vote for someone is my point. I wouldn’t want to vote for someone who will use their power to facilitate genocide. No matter where it is in the world. Then you have to look at other candidates from there

It certainly should be. Genocide is genocide. I think how openly both parties back Israel is different to Saudi. Saudi arms sales need to stop too

But for me on principal I can’t support someone who would be complicit in genocide and I believe a labour government would be. They won’t stop arm sales so I want nothing to do with that.

The argument of inflation I feel is entirely wrong. Inflation would only have been relevant if they had received pay rises in line with inflation when it was higher. I have sympathy with them as I do with other employees going through the same. I will always be hesitant to criticise someone for wanting better work conditions without myself being in their shoes

The thing is 35% is just a starting number. Start high and negotiate to what you actually want. Are junior doctors in the U.K. underpaid? In my option yes. Compared to other countries they are dramatically underpaid maybe by even more than 35%. If as a country the U.K. wants the best doctors (it should be the aim) then they need to pay for it. It’ll probably be settled around 10% but still maybe in my opinion it should be more. the timing I suspect is to make it an issue from the word go. Starmer said in one of the debates he would be in a room negotiating from his first day in office. I would imagine this is to make sure it happens. The timing is actually smart.

True but with those players I would argue that they should have been bottom too. The level of recruitment in terms of quantity was unprecedented and when I think back to the time they were a laughing stock and it was a bit of a shock to see them get their act together. My knowledge is limited though because I didn’t watch premier league games in the latest season where he was sacked so I couldn’t comment on the bad.

Everyone seems to forget what a basket case Forest were before Cooper. Remarkable he got them promoted and remarkable he kept them up. People point to the 100m spending but this was crazy sign 30 players spending that should have been a disaster which he somehow made work. He was also did well previous to Forest. I've been annoyed by this all day then I started thinking about Cooper and remembering lot's of more positive stuff about him. Would I prefer Potter, yes, but is Cooper a terrible manager, not at all.

I had a Spain Netherlands final and didn't know where to go from there as I'm unsure how it happened. I feel like Spain have an easy route to the final

To add to what others have said this constituency is a bit of an unknown entity for this election. The website the other poster shared suggested that it's very likely that it would be a labour victory while it has traditionally been one of the safest tory seats you can find (the old constituency not the new one). However, I will point you to the YouGov poll as a third source of information. They too are predicting a Labour victory in this seat but a very narrow one 38 - 34 which they say is comfortably in the margin of error. So this seat looks like it could potentially be very close so every vote could matter. Tactical voting is possibly helpful ie a vote for labour or conservative is in theory more worthwhile but a vote for a third party also can show support for what you believe in. I would always suggest voting tactically only if you are really opposed to one of the parties fighting for the seat. Another interesting thing about this seat is the Lib Dem vote. Until very recently (last two elections) the Lib Dems were always the closest challengers to the tories, labour were always no where to be seen (often single figures I believe) while the Lib Dems were in the 30s. As someone who has moved away from the area in the period that the change has happened I have wondered why the Lib Dem vote has completely collapsed and Labour have made gains that have before seemed impossible in the area. Maybe someone can enlighten me to what has gone on.

Not Weibo (Weibo is more like Facebook). He says he wants to be like WeChat. As someone who lives in China and uses WeChat for everything the best way I can describe it is it's WhatsApp with an instagram like "moments" section and tiktok like "channels" section. But where it's different is the QR payment system which you can use to pay for everything and other useful things built in like Didi (essentially uber) and things like train booking, ways to pay your phone bill, pay utilities and lots more which I haven't discovered. The one thing it doesn't have is the Amazon like function which you mentioned.
