"Let me put it another way — no Labour leader, other than Blair, born in the last 100 years, has won a general election."


Amazing stat....

Yep. We’re quite a right wing country. And Prime Ministers tend to be old.

I’m guessing the important stuff isn’t going terribly well.

We're certainly not a socialist country. PM's aren't that old. Blair and Cameron were 43. Boris was 55.

Compare with the US. Trump was 74. Biden is 78...

My point was just there can’t be many on either side born in the last hundred years. Basically Thatcher onwards and she’d be nearly 100 if she was alive rather than in the depths of hell*.

How can you say that about Mrs Thatch.....probably the greatest leader this country has had since 3437865 BC.
She might of been a **** who destroyed whole mining communities, was an enemy of the working class and introduced a “me,me,me” society.........but she won us back the Falklands.

Only killed a few hundred troops too. A small price to pay to get her back up in the polls.

What has happened to Lisa Nandy! I know I have mentioned this before but they have removed any human part of her and turned her into a droid. She is now a fully working Stepford Wife.

She rolled over Marr this morning, verbal diarrhoea in overdrive...

You see more of Lisa Nandy than her own kids.

Amazing stat....

Put another way, Labour's record in General Elections since 1979 reads:

lost
lost
lost
lost
Blair
Blair
Blair

And yet they still seem to all hate Blair.

I don’t love Blair but accept for Labour to get in again it’s never going to be with a genuine way left of centre leader no matter how **** the Tories are or how many people their failures kill.

It’s been too long since we watched a game together then.

They won't be back in for years. Even this inexperienced Tory government is miles ahead in so many areas. TBH I think the shadow cabinet is actually 'thicker' then the Corbyn one. Starmer is being forgotten nearly as much as the irrelevant Limps leader who I can't even remember.

I thought all the gyms were shut down near you, although KFC isn't?

I probably work out less now than before the gyms closed. Four weights sessions a week but higher volume given I’m not working with anything like the same weight as the gym had. A bit more cardio but I’ve mainly sacked that off as the weather has got worse.

Main thing without doubt is food and drink. Barely drinking now and tracking protein.

The KFC in Bracknell is horrific for many reasons.

You don't seem to be in a majority on the left, but three and a half years is a long time for that to change.
