Here was me thinking they were going to hire Michael Bay to film a car chase through the streets of Paris complete with petrol tankers, helicopters and say a nuclear missile just for good measure..... (I posted this here because I am too chicken to put it on Twitter)

I have joined the European Movement Time to put my money where my mouth is

I have now banned the extremely old from my 'work' game. All wildcards must be under the age of 100 when they are first picked so unless a supercentarian was famous originally they aren't part of the game. It was too easy to get points by picking the oldest man and/or the oldest women so I had to include them as main picks to prevent them being wildcard picks and worth a disproportionate number of points

I like everything left on the list but I have five that I want to go through. I think I might get four

I think because they are not promoting a current show it might not count

Tim Curry is scheduled to appear at New York Comic Con alongside Susan Sarandon There will be a photo opportunity for fans so it is possible some might turn up on social media in the immediate days following

I have noticed that the lower tier managers that I have picked have tended to have had a good start to the season. Still happy with my Premiership and Championship choices though

Peter Taylor is sacked by Eighth Tier side

This was the last one I listened to of those I didn't know. There are still plenty I would down vote before it but it would not make my top 5. I hoped I listened to the right version as I could not hear any Enya

Sounds just like Keir Starmer.......

But she could....

I suspect you are right but his lukewarm support for union action, his toning down of green credentials, his refusal to call out an extreme far right agenda with regards to immigration and his purging the party of anyone who has ever had a socialist thought In addition his refusal to consider electoral reform so we do not end up in this situation again. I want to be able to vote for Labour to get rid of this government but I feel that that is allowing the votes of people like me to be taken for granted. The Conservatives have lost so much of the centreground that they are relying on the worst kind of racist dogwhistles to avoid electoral annihilation but it is an unedifying spectacle

I am losing patience with Keir Starmer because all he looks like he is going to offer is another 5 years of Tory-Light I want to vote Labour to oust this utterly vile Tory Government but I do not see Starmer's Labour offering radical change He is in particular ignoring the Brexit elephant to try an appeal to Mail and Express voters who are not really natural Labour voters I hate to say it but the pro-European Movement are going to have to go full UKIP to try and tip the balance. If they start planning to put pro-European candidates in winnable Labour seats as UKIP did to the Tories it will mean he will have to offer some EU concessions or miss the massive open goal he faces going into the next election (There is the possibility he is a Trojan Horse and that he is offering a vision of Britain that will not frighten the blue rinse brigade and on election night after the results are in he miraculously becomes pro EU socialist man and everything will be wonderful - alternatively Angela Rayner accidently kills him by sitting on his face during election night celebrations and she becomes Prime Minister instead)
