Basically Left means further left than soft left or Brownite but not quite Jezza Corbyn and centre means unsure or very few opinions and Blairite means right or liberal in the Labour Party!

I have reviewed the new cabinet and judged them into left and right for the Labour Party PM Andy Burnham - Soft Left Chancellor John Healey - Soft left Foreign Secretary Ed Miliband - Left -Brownite Home Secretary Shabana Mahmoud - Old Right Health Yvette Cooper - Blairite Defence Wes Streeting - Blairite Office of the PM Louise Haigh - Left Education Lucy Powell Soft Left Work & Pensions Pat McFadden - Blairite Housing Angela Rayner - Left Business Johnny Reynolds - Brownite Equalities Bridget Phillipson - Left/Soft Left Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy - Soft Left Miatta Fahnbulleh - Energy - Soft Left/Left Justice Alex Norris - Soft Left Transport Heidi Alexander Centre Environment Angela Eagle - Soft Left NI Chris Bryant - Blairite Scotland Douglas Alexander - Brownite-Centrist Wales Stephen Kinnock - Blairite Chief Sec to the Treasury - Emma Reynolds Blairite Chief Whip - Analise Midgley - Soft left Attorney General - Ellie Reeves Soft Left Leader of the Commons Alan Campbell Blairite Baroness Smith - Blairite Intergovernmental Relations - Hamish Falcolner - Blairite AI Kan Narayan Blairite

I’m acrually surprised Burnham isn’t ahead at this honeymoon phase.

Yeh Miatta being set up to replace Healey potentially in the 2030s.

I’m worried that’s all the average person remembers him for but he’s so much more than that. Says a lot about why he’s in politics that 10 years after Cameron left politics he’s still in high office as an MP. Whereas DC left once he finished being PM. He was in politics to be PM. (Apart from a short stint as Foreign Secretary from the Lords, which felt very 19th century) He’s also proven to be an effective shadow cabinet minister and Energy secretary putting in place long lasting reforms to our energy system which will be felt in the decades to come. The fact the right wing press has attacked him so much shows he’s doing a good job.

Can’t see John giving a two fingered salute like he regularly did! Look at those eyebrows!

Some great sackings of Blairties and plenty of Brownites in. A def move to the left. Healey as chancellor so 2 Irishmen at the top of government!

Was a good game that lastnyt and quite normal for a 3rd place playoff to be a goal fest as the shackles are off and there’s less Preasure. Although I enjoyed it it didn’t feel edge of your seat as there was no jeopardy compared to the proper knock out games so no where near the best game of the tournament for me. That’ll always be the Cape Verde Argentina one for me, my adrenaline was pumping after that, so much so I watched the 3am game Colombia as I couldn’t sleep 😂

But football was different in the 50s, with 4-2-4 being the normal formation, was t ubtil the 60s when the anti football defensive formations started!0

Least the winners don’t get one of them horrendous American rings!

He’s a great player, another player taking a step down to a mid table club!

Surely Argentina didnt win all the matches if they went to extra time in 2 of the knockouts?

I’ve added the new countries that have entered this second round in brackets. As usual in the champions league there’s a champions route where the winners of the respective leagues play each other and the league route where teams who come outside of the top positions play each other. Assume UEFA add teams in respect of their leagues coefficient. As two Polish sides have entered here whereas the second place Scottish team (Hearts) enter. Celtic the champions enter in round 3. Some tasty ties as N.Irish champions Larne get a plum tie against Serbian champions and 1991 winners Red Star Belgrade. Hell, I may go and watch the game myself albeit I’m sure the Serbs, who normally challenge to make the league phase, will win easily. Would be nice to see them though. We also have the champions of the following leagues enter at this stage: Switzerland Cyprus Israel Croatia Slovenia Poland Denmark Slovakia Sweden The plum tie of the round is def the Swiss vs the Croatian champions as FC Thun play Dinamo Zagreb!

Cape Verde hero Pico Lopez is back in action for Shamrock Rovers vs Cork City tonight in the FAI Cup 2nd Rd. This day two weeks ago he was in Miami facing Messi and co!

I’m going to start a petition to stop all pointless petitions.

That’s when a party and leader has to lead rather than follow. Because let’s face it the general public are generally idiots.

What’s everyone’s thoughts on the Open being played outside of Britain? I am not sure I agree with it, it’ll be in Dubai next.

Why do you think that?

Mahmoud is basically the new generations Yvette Cooper. A centre right bureaucrat. Would love Ed to be chancellor but as Chris said, I fear there’s too much to attack with that. He’s been leader of the opposition and although I 100% agree with his green agenda even if it just pisses certain flat earth et right wingers off. At any rate I’m super fascinated to see the cabinet.

I know, he was originally best pals with the likes of James Purnell - a Blairite of there ever was one. No doubt he will be chief of staff or the likes. I do think Burnham is relatively leftist if he wants to be, he’s def a Brownite. Think Ed is left wing myself, he def meant to change the way the Labour leader was elected so that if he lost the election it would give the left a voice. Plus the newspapers def hate him due to his (rightly) green agenda.

Queens of the Stone Age have released their first new single in 3 years and was R1s Hottest Record on Tuesday evening.

Ridiculous but no doubt he will make it about himself. Exactly why I wanted, however unlikely, for Iran to win it 😂
