A couple of astonishing stats that really show how England bizarrely shat the bed last night. www.football365.com/news/16-conc...

Losing a semi-final in the manner England did last night is an immediate sacking offence. No malice, but his job, for which he is paid £5million a year, is to elevate this group of players, not fail to bring on any of Saka, Madueke, Eze or Watkins until we're 2-1 down.

I know the final whistle has gone but has Tuchel tried putting on another 73 defenders?

Absolutely incredible chart, Starmer's failure boils down to this stupid, flawed strategy

Besides the point, but "500,000 children lifted out of poverty" really does annoy me given they actively resisted lifting the benefits cap for as long as possible.

This video is an absolute masterclass in Hitchensism because at no point does he actually mention what Graham Phillips has done (moved to occupied Donbas in March 2022 to make propaganda films for the Russian government).

Most of Westminster is living in a social media ecosphere where the most overtly far-right entity for generations is being boosted, funded and endorsed by the world's richest man and they, including the government, are broadly fine with that ecosphere.

If I were the government, I simply would not be directing eyeballs and the political conversation to a website run by a guy who has explicitly said he opposes the PM and is visibly fighting an information war against me.

No idea why Tuchel is getting all the hate over his squad selection. Toney's experience playing in half-empty stadiums under an authoritarian regime could prove invaluable.

There's a sort of core to Labour support, of people who feel a genuine connection to the party and see voting for - even working with - those of other parties as a betrayal. This group seems chronically unable to understand that *even among historically reliable Labour voters* they're a minority

Yeah, completely agree. New Labour was a modern party, the product of a huge number of quite different Labour and left thinkers from 1974 onwards going 'how do we update?' Starmer Labour is intellectually incurious, not modern, and this is an underrated part of its struggles.

This is not a reasoned political response. Labour has spent two years making all the voting groups who backed the Greens feel unwelcome and unheard, and now attacks them for daring to back someone else. They believe Labour isn’t listening and Starmer seems determined to prove them right

Yeah, it is basically the same dynamic of 'it's easy, you just promise everything and don't even try to get electoral consent for whichever tradeoff you want to make', and then getting into government and going 'oh my god, this is hard'.

I cannot tell you how absolutely infuriatingly this stuff comes across to Europeans. When we say America is no longer a reliable ally, it goes considerably deeper than Donald Trump himself. This kind of complacent, condescending shit is a *huge* part of it.

telling the secret police they have immunity to harm & kill citizens really lays bare the hollowness of decades of right-wing GOP screeching about encroaching Big Government - it was never a problem they had with government per se, just that it wasn't being used to harm the people they wanted to
