problem is you think he (starmer) has done ok, even though its a low bar, and then Flynn gets up (whether you agree with his politics, his rhetorical flourishes are far better) and makes starmer look pretty poor every singe week.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) is joined by CEO Duncan Drasdo and Financial Director Andy Green from the Manchester United Supporters Trust for a special episode on all things behind the scenes at Old Trafford including a brief history of MUST and their aims today, views on INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe so far, and the Old Trafford regeneration.
Always thought it was a practical joke making Cleverly, not the sharpest tool in the box, as MP for Braintree of all places.
That's like those posters who say any football manager should admit it's not working out and resign and 'do the right thing by the club'.
This is the dumbest thing about the PMQs. So many of them would fluff under the pressure of having to be quick witted.
Sunak might have been better off waiting a couple of days until after the courts decision before sacking Braverman. He could have tried to shift the blame for it to her.
My worry is that there's going to be a huge campaign by the tories to to step out of the ECHR now and they'll use this as an excuse (although not true) to do so. They're a completely vile party at the moment.

That is the main reason I have stopped watching PMQ.
It serves no practical purpose any more.
Deputy Chair of the Conservative Party
Very good.
Oh feck off.
Yes indeed.
Someone like the always impressive Yvette Cooper, with her superior intellect would destroy Sunak.
And in my view would have made a significantly better leader.
How about we just send him instead of we don't care about human rights and the rule of law
Leave the ECHR, pound drops like a stone again, mates make a killing.
So we've progressed from 'get Brexit done' to 'get Rwanda done'.
A party that clearly has no tangible vision for the country, not in manifesto nor any sort of policy based vision. Just vacuous soundbites, sprinkled with the odd dog whistle and culture war nonsense. All so they can hop on and off the gravy train, sorting themselves and their friends out at the expense of the public.
Also its high time we fire Boris into the sun. Sick of the sight of him and his mouth-frothing supporters.
"Send them straight back.." says 30p Lee. Back to a place they didn't come from, and at great cost to the nation. Cause feck it.
Looks like Jess Phillips is about to resign amongst other front benchers. Quite like her, and I'd like think shell be back should labour win next election.
Probably after the decision today (I mean, who could possibly have expected that result ?
) a decent percentage of it is on its way to an overseas bank somewhere, probably the Cayman islands, to be divided-up some time after the next GE. It was always a 'pig-in-a-poke' deal.The natural party of power eh!
The Good Friday Agreement might have something to say about leaving the ECHR.
So will most of the trade deals. Who needs food anyway?
The Tories will campaign on breaking the law.
This country is fecked and I fear we are not far off Yankeeland.
This country is fecked and I fear we are not far off Yankeeland.
And yet there are people who believe Sunak wants to do good but is held back by the right of party. Look at him today. He is just as unhinged as the rest of them. Fecking despicable Cnut.
It’s a fecking British court you short trousered Cnut.
We’re on the precipice. These guys will go to any lengths to whip up their crowd. Tories have nothing to talk about apart from immigration. I have never seen a country consume itself with a non issue as much as this country.
How are these people still in power?
The party of (breaking the) law on order, folks.
The USA, but we’re doing all we can to catch them up.

So Sunak is going to pass a law saying that Rwanda is a safe country.
Of course. Our wonderful PM believes he can magically make Rwanda a safe country simply by passing a law.
Don't know why he hasn't let everyone else in on his latest bit of magic.
No more wars. Just pass a law and instantly we have world peace.
Dim twat is a total embarrassment.

Can the public demand a GE? It’s getting ridiculous now.
Labour bid for humanitarian pauses, loses (majority of 107)
My mind always goes back to the term of ‘hypernormalisation’ when thinking of the UK and US government in modern times:
(Kudos to @Sweet Square for actually making me learn of the term).
Ceasefire vote lost too.
We won't get one of those until late 2024.
The power is solely in the hands of the Prime Minister until January 2025.
I always ignored the Rwanda thingy because i assumed that it was an agreement between assylum seekers from Rwanda to be sent back (that is very sad). But did i read right that it was to send to Rwanda any assylum seakers regardless of the nationality?
Yes, the latter.
