A new stadium indeed and chairman of Southampton Football Club from 1996 to 2006 and then again from 2008 to 2009, when the company was placed into administration. He appointed Steve Wigney then replaced him with agent Redknapp who completed his mission. Clive Woodward was brought in and, after a year in the club, was made director of football. That was then. this now and he's one of a gang of four.
I'm sure we'll see some thorough analyses of the data soon. But I share your initial reaction; it looks like Gaza had a huge effect on Labour. I suspect it was a factor in getting Jeremy Corbyn re-elected in Islington North, for instance. And it nearly cost Wes Streeting and Jess Phillips their seats. Both have been tipped as potential future leaders, so those near misses were seismic in their way. And if anyone thinks Israel or Hamas were closely following the UK election, they're deluded. America could maybe force a cessation of hostilities there, Britain can't.
I am truly cursed as far as voting goes. Wherever I've lived since I left Southampton my vote has always felt wasted as they were nailed on Tory seats. The New Forest, Chichester, North Dorset, Wimborne. All true blue, but I'd turn up to vote anyway just so I could moan during the next 5 yrs. So bugger me I move to Wales into an area hotly contested, only for the boundary to be changed so it's another done deal. To make it worse the likes of Chichester and Wimborne grew a pair to dump the self serving idiots in situ. At least I can still moan for the next 5 yrs
He bought me a drink once though. Well I thought he did, then I found out the bar was free, he did bring it over to me though. Talked wonderful bollocks even back then (Strachan days, one of the fans forum thingys).
I Im in a good riddance to all of them mood at the mo. I’ll regain my ability for nuance on Tories again at some point I do remember thinking Cleverley by name but not by nature at time’s previous, but can’t recall why
There are some really salty Tory voters on social media. Probably the same ones who got so upset about "remoaners"!
Youu You’ll possibly be able to see different swings in areas with a higher Muslim population Apparently Labour are pro and anti-Islamic, and pro and anti-Semitic all at the same time
I registered for a postal vote in Fareham. Disappointed that Braverman won quite comfortably there but has always been a True Blue seat in its various guises (boundary changes). Would have loved her to lose to prevent her from standing for the party leadership.
I think we do need to remember that many Labour supporters used tactical voting to ensure the Tories were voted out. This means you could probably add on half a million votes which were used tactically.
Genuinely, why put a but there? What can he do right now apart from tell the nation what he wants to achieve? He is telling all those tories, we are not an ideological beast. We are here to rebuild this nation. I am not a fan of the man, but you have to admire that speech and the precision of his agenda setting.
I am perfectly allowed to be sceptical thank you. I don't trust any politician right now so forgive me if I don't take him at his word. I will judge him by his actions over the months to come.
