About as reasonable an awkward chuff as you are ever likely to meet. Life, politics, #lufc and quality beer smothered in unsubtle sarcasm.
Denmark is such a red herring (yes, I get the irony) in terms of the UK's intended Asylum policy, we are x12 times the population size and have 20x the diversity. The real questions need to be about the core principles around these proposals, and presently, they look conspicuous by their absence.

Rejoice for the day ahead, where McSweeney and his minions Starmer and Mahmood over-reach themselves once too often!

All policy decisions motivated by poll ratings, regardless of whether their is or is not any merit in the details, are doomed to fail as policy and poll boosts. Policy based on long-established principles, however, does generate good policy. We will be seeing the former on Monday!

By the time we play Brentford our Premier League record will be P15, W03, D03, L09, Pts 12 and we will be 19th. Even if we were to get a win or two out of those 4 games, we are just repeating the same mistake we made with Marsch. When the PL is too big for you, then it's time to exit. #lufc

Good, they should be worried.
Exc - Downing Street has launched an extraordinary operation to protect Keir Starmer amid fears among the prime minister’s closest allies that he is vulnerable to a leadership challenge in the wake of the budget.

I genuinely don't care how we retain our PL status for 26-27. I do, however, state loudly that having no attacking quality isn't working and will end in us playing Championship football again. #lufc

We have been found out already because we have no PL level quality in the players who got us up and we didn't sign much. #lufc
We will be 19th by the time we play Brentford and probably after 6 losses on the trot. And that is happening regardless of whether it's Farke or not. But the case for change lies in finding a manager who knows we need passing in midfield and proper strikers! #lufc

Nothing exposes the kindergarten thinking at the heart of Starmer's Government than them kit-flying taxing electric cars! Sure, spout shite about fairness and just ignore the 120 years of combustion engine pollution. I tell you, they are all idiots.

Will someone please start sacking the idiots running this spineless Government?
I’m told Labour MPs have been told by whips to *abstain* in the vote on Nigel Farage’s ten-min rule bill on leaving the ECHR, which has left some furious. Whips’ arguments seems to be to just ignore it. Labour MPs worry it leaves Lib Dems/Greens looking like only they care on this.
