    Do you think it will?

    'it can't get any worse' is probably the phrase most used before any disaster. I'm not asking for a lot here. Just look better than the Tories. Nobody should get in by default.

    If I was doing Labour's strategy I'd put a manifesto out on Monday and ask the public to have at it. Pull it to bits if you can, we'll listen and improve it. Two years to consult with the electorate and create a people's manifesto. If the Tories steal good ideas, we say 'that's our policy, imagine how quickly we could do if we didn't have to wait for the Tories to steal it'.

    Refusing to say anything on policy just makes it look like you've got nothing.

    "Woke Mafia" <laugh> Do people actually watch this stuff and take it seriously or is it just for laughs?

    It would be brilliant if clubs started backing out just before it started. Like the lass said though why are England even going, two faced twats.

    I'm talking about the pathetic description by the presenter. She couldn't give a **** about the World Cup or where it is.

    I would say the Guardian is more like the opposite of the Telegraph to me. Both once respectable but are more interested in spreading their own narrative now.

    That's how it works now though. Crackpots on both sides don't do nuance. That's why everyone who doesn't agree with certain left-leaning thinking is automatically 'hard right'. We see it with things like Twitter - one side's disgusting behaviour is fine, the other side they can't ban fast enough.

    that's Twitter where the likes of Lineker pontificate like their **** doesn't stink, but it's fine for him to tacitly endorse Qatar's regime that's demonstrably worse than anything in the UK.

    I would find it funny if all these lot end up getting beheaded while they were there.

    The bit in bold is absolutely spot on. There are plenty of voices who speak intelligently who are more traditionally conservative who get accused being "far right" or "alt right" which is nonsense.

    The idea that anyone slightly liberal is "woke" is equally ridiculous.

    Is the reason Sunak is not attending Cop27 in Egypt , is being a dwarf he would silly compared to all the other taller Presidents and PMs.

    Bonko may go, so not all is lost!

    Imagine if Zelensky rocked up in Egypt and made a speech, in person. But the twat in charge of our Country can't be arsed/hiding under his desk/hiding in a fridge/being schooled by OAPs in hospital's etc etc. #generalelectionnow

    First visits by a PM (or monarch) are seen as a diplomatic coup for the receiving country.

    Should we be handing that to Egypt? The Guardian says it's a police state. Legitimising that regime?

    It's not a state visit, or otherwise, to Egypt though ...

    ... they're simply providing the venue for a meeting.


    And Sunak isn't a big deal in any way tbh.

    He's an unelected stand in who replaced another unelected stand in.

    His international standing isn't of much importance imo.
