    I'm sure the attendees who paid for hospitality as part of the ticket price can still get food.
    I paid for a ticket and hospitality at Old Trafford because the demand from Hull fans was a lot more than the 3,000 allocated. The opposite corner to the away fans went crazy every time we scored. I paid near £200 for the match and meal afterwards. The food was worth about £20. This was in 2008.

    If the lying right wing nutters doing the polling declared that Labour were 10 points ahead of the Conservatives then presumably you would still hold the view that they were lying.

    At the time of writing he had lost five of his aides.

    He should have fired the PPS weeks ago because he was the one that sent the email telling everyone to bring a bottle to the Downing Street garden. How having a socially distanced bottle of wine with colleagues constitutes a party only the media know.

    Just to be really pedantic, 11 per cent of the available electorate voted Labour in the 2018 elections, the last time that all of the seats were up for election.

    There were 186,130 people registered to vote. Of those 46,520 participated, which is 24.99 per cent. Labour candidates received 58,421 of the 129,051 votes cast, which is 45.27 per cent. Some clueless numpty will be along in a moment to argue that you cannot multiply percentages but if you do you get 11.31 per cent – only a quarter of people voted and less than half of them voted Labour.

    I was working from memory from when it was discussed previously, and it possibly referred to a more recent, but not full election, but be it 9 or 11, the point is the same. <ok>

    Henderson wasn't standing outside the penalty area when Manchester United took their kicks. I thought that was a rule but I can't see any mention of it in the rules for penalty shoot outs.

    How do you milk an oat? I can only assume it’s all done in Chinese prison camps, or it wouldn’t be cost effective.

    As he's decimated the numbers, and emasculated what's left of the plod, wouldn't it make more sense to make them emergency centres for stab victims and those injured by terrorism?

    They were closed already. They weren't police stations anymore.

    I agree they should remain as some sort of community building and not housing.

    The real story here, is that 667 front counters have closed since 2010.
