Nonsense.

Corbyn was briefed on the report by Labour officials ad Starmer and told he could make a response after Starmer had his statement prepared. Corbyn didn't wait to see what Starmer was going to say but was aware that he was going to say that people minimising the issue or saying it was blown up by the...

I can't wait until McCluskey retired (no doubt on an enormous pension worth millions), the absolute gob shite.

I don't get this. The Lib Dems exist. Labour is the party of the unions. Because you can't win unless you have the centre which contains a lot undecided voters. Tories have been mopping them up for two reasons: A vote for Corbyn's Labour was a vote for socialism A vote for lib dems was a vote throw...

Someone said earlier that Corbyn would win if he stands as leader again, which is probably true and to very large degree. Starmer has to get him out and keep him out in that case, else he has no control of the party at all. Not a chance Corbyn would win if he stood in the leadership election again,...

Do people actually think Keir Starmer is going to win anything back for Labour? He is a vacuous plum who stands for nothing and actively sabotaged his previous leader What was Jeremy Corbyn's net positive rating? -68 or something? Starmer is miles, miles better than Corbyn and will make gains. He's...

Of course. They are the 3 worst Prime Ministers in my living memory John Major, Callahan ffs. Worst 5 PM's in my living memory if that helps? Cameron led a coalition well. Brexit obvs his fall.

I would love Starmer to expel Corbyn for this. Corbyn made the party unelectable and failed to hold the worst government in memory to account when he had the seats to potentially make a difference. Which government? Cameron's or May's or Boris'? The May one and then the Boris one. The current Boris...

Lads we are winning this Maybe not the whole shabang but the game What’s your optimism based on horse ? My famous waters And they are beyond questioning We have a decent chance. Aki and Henshaw will do a better job on stopping their midfield than Wales. Plus Barnsey won't let France away with the s...

“One antisemite is one too many, but the scale of the problem was also dramatically overstated for political reasons by our opponents inside and outside the party, as well as by much of the media."

Byrne definitely isn't good enough. I'd drop him for not getting up in the line for the try in the last phase of play. He was directly responsible for that dogleg and subsequent linebreak. Disagree with that. Injury time with players out on their feet. All we had to do was soak and not concede a bl...

Hang on - what are you two on about? URH - you mean 8 match days including the 1/4s semi and final right? In which case yeah fair enough. MVP - you mean 6 match weekends for just the pool stages? ie, fully one third of teams are going to be sitting on their backsides doing nothing while other Euro ...

I think we'll beat Gloucester home and away but we'll be well beaten by Toulouse, would much rather have been in Pool A

Feel our replacement frontrow is a weakness tbh. None of them are really must win game in Paris quality alright. They're all third choice at least really.

Edit: I've still no idea how this works

Ulster player Toulouse and Gloucester somehow from that.

In a Lions year wasn't it so we actually had a weakened side playing full tests against Canada and USA as well? Cave, Whitten etc. made debuts Those Churchill Cup games were the 'A' side.

I think we're going to get hammered tbh. Only thing that'll save us is French incompetence and maybe our backrow putting in a game. Yeah I don't hold much hope, I think France are currently able to do stuff we can't and we're missing two of our most powerful forwards. But at the same time, I think ...

I think letting Italy in for the last try at the weekend means we need to go chasing the 4 tries if we want to win the championship. I don't think England will be held to less than 60 unless the weather is dire. It makes England's target slightly easier, but I don't think it'll influence what we ne...

Very hard to see an Ireland win really. They’ll put our setpiece under a lot of pressure and they have the cavalry to exploit it. A combination of our backrow playing out of their skins and French indiscipline will keep the scoreline reasonably respectable France 32 Ireland 19 Yep, I think we're a ...

Do you have free meals all year round in Australia? No idea, I don't have children. I wouldn't begrudge subsiding poor family's children though I’d prefer people to look after their own children. And you never do provide a solution to what happens when they don't or can't? There are multiply agenci...

Jack McGrath wasn’t named in the squad for these pair of matches . Only five props included , Saturday’s quartet plus John Ryan.

What changes would you make for this weekend? Personally I'd have Jack McGrath on the bench ahead of Byrne and Kelleher in the 23 if he's fit. Assuming Farrell is going to go with Aki-Henshaw so there's no point suggesting anything else, the question is then who wears 23, with Keet coming back I'd s...
