And predictably it's proving divisive This was always going to be the case. If you asked Tories they would say the same. It's a non story. Who cares. She is standing down at next GE. I suspect she has acted out of vindictiveness as she has been frustrated with Tory incompetence in handling small bo...

The issue Labour have, is that small boats aren't driven by domestic policies. You have every country in Europe, and the USA, completely unable to stop people escaping poverty, wars, climate breakdown. So let's say Labour decide to spend the money (uh oh) required to get the French to stop their lai...

Kind of individual that you should say no to.

Biggest story? Fuck the story, it would be a tragedy for London. Yes it would be the biggest story of the day if labour lose London. Khan has had two terms as mayor, the Tories haven't even tried to compete in this. The fact it's close shows how poor of a mayor Khan has been. This is what happens w...

Blair Kinghorn starts for Toulouse in the semi final over one Tomas Ramos. That's impressive! Ramos covers 10 and 15 so is an ideal bench option ... a bit ironic really? I mean, he's been an ideal starting 15 for them the last few years so this is a statement of what Toulouse think of Kinghorn's pe...

Biggest story of the elections if she does. And a warming to Sir Kier. Ineffective leadership is the recipe for a total mentalist to replace you.

Reminder, here's the twat announcing his new voter ID rules https://x.com/AdamBienkov/status/1786125618293178779 I genuinely think the worst moment politically in the UK in the last decade at least was Rees-Mogg saying we brought in this law to disenfranchise voters and ended up disenfranchising th...

It's truly amazing that she's the best they could offer As SaintK said, they have Paul Scully who is a decent man, a good candidate and would have stood a chance. Instead they’ve gone full loon. The tories have memed themselves out of London. Shaun Bailey actually wasn’t a million miles away, he ac...

They'd take that. The GOP's candidate is going to be President.

Andrew Marr is presumably speaking to senior senior people so this probably is an actually discussion.

I really hope that's not the case. I want both teams (well, Glasgow) to be great club sides in their own right, and challenge for trophies. Glasgow's Pro12 win is still the highlight in Scottish rugby of the last decade for me, and I'm hoping for a repeat this season. The Scotland team is important...

The issue just is that there's so few opportunities for top Scots to go abroad now so we're in a position most Scottish developed internationals are in Scotland. And they we sign up the non Scottish developed internationals e.g. Skinner, Healy is their Scottish cap makes it harder to get contracts....

The model for Starmer’s Britain is Khan’s London. Don’t worry this isn’t a ‘muslamic ray guns 15 minute city’ post. What I mean is that they’ll do very little, posture a lot and funnel money to centre-left quangos. Will it be better than this? Sure I’d say so. But they’ll fail to achieve anything m...

A lot is made (truthfully) of Harry Cole et al being client journalists of the Tories. As we’re on the cusp of a change of government it is worth remembering that their Labour counterparts exist too. Goodall being one of them Goodall, James O' Brien, etc. The interesting point will be how they beha...

No argument with that. Will be amusing to watch Goodall/O’Brien etc without their punching bag in office though I sincerely hope they do continue to hold the government to account and if the incoming Labour cabinet try to implement a lunatic policy like Brexit then the likes of O'Brien don't let it...

Definitely need to be selective with NSQ players but quality imports are still important IMO. There are a couple of positions where a quality import can be really helpful. Especially if top Scots want to move abroad. The issue just is that there's so few opportunities for top Scots to go abroad now...

I've just caught up with the Southern Knights Edinburgh A game from Friday. There was some good pace on display from the Embra backs, both starting and from he bench. I like the look of Jack Brown the fullback. The 6ft 11 Carmichael was impressive, McVie is going to be a big player for Edinburgh I ...

Every single affluent person in the world would drastically have to change their behaviour and accept a worse standard of living. People aren't in the business of doing that.

On the other hand, if the young lads play for the super 6 teams they'll get six games. If they play for Edinburgh they'll only get 3. I doubt super six coaches would chop and change week to week to accommodate them. So if the intention is to get them more game time, playing for Watsons / Heriots / ...

Not by Edinburgh's design though. Do you know that for sure? Not with 100% certainty no, but I'd say 98%. Over the course of the super6 there's been no evidence or rumours that Pro team coaches are involved in franchise team selection - would be odd to start as the comp is disbanded. Pro clubs deci...

and an Argentinian World Cup tighthead on the bench. The only tighthead Edinburgh have got in the academy is Ollie Blyth-Lafftery who turned 18 a couple of weeks ago. Robin Deans, a loosehead, is in the academy and perhaps we'll see these guys later on in the sprint series. However the Glasgow pack...

Glasgow doing it right, two academy props. and an Argentinian World Cup tighthead on the bench.

Just like the benefits system. It will be lovely fat contracts for the chums with zero accountability, suicides and lives wrecked when people are mangled through the bureaucracy which starts with the premise "You are a fucking liar, prove that you are ill/cannot work, you idle workshy scum&quo...

My guess is that with those props you give the young players a platform to play from. Still no sign of Jamie Campbell Exactly why Edinburgh's coaches can't develop any props though. Too scared about a platform in a development league ?! When is Mikey Jones going to be developed to be able to provid...

Exactly, the entire team is for development apart from the props! And Muncaster and Dodd, Muncaster needs game time .. wouldn't have picked Dodd. Why on earth do we have Luan playing games? And a Scotland international playing S6 FFS. My guess is that with those props you give the young players a p...

We have confirmation that Israel has already attacked Iran with the strike on the embassy in Syria. Bibi is trying to draw the world into his personal hell hole. Don't be like Bibi. Fuck Bibi.

Good day for Gov to quietly slip out that they are once again, 6th time, delaying the implementation of health and safety checking of EU goods at the UK border. Brexit is really the albatross around the neck of the Tory Party! Sorry it is just one of the albatrosses around their necks, I forget abo...
