It is exactly the position to govern from, if you have a large majority. It's if you have a small majority you are likely to find it rather uncomfortable.

Yes, I agree, it could well be our turn this year, "the force (lady lucky) is definitely with us". In the final 1 minute to go, Rashford trying to get out of the way of a shot finds it hits his ar** and deflects in... I can see it now! Headlines...

We should get some indication only after the first twelve months, if INEOS, is getting to grips with the things we all (think) we know about, and with the things we don't know about (sorry sounds a bit like Donald Rumsfeld and his known /...

Our reputation on such matters over recent years has not been good so I wouldn't readily trust our government, and in any case citizenship usually comes first. However the Gurkha's from Nepal, and some other commonwealth personnel serving with...

Yes, history repeating itself, it had happened previously in between the early to mid part of the 20th century. Relief in 1918 after WW1 ending; then followed by Spanish Flue (pandemic 1918-1920), followed by further global conflict WW2 1939-45...

Don't know, better ask Shaw, he was the one who accredited Mourinho with his response...

Not exactly washed up, but he was on the other side of his 'peak' (Treble with Inter) and United always going to be his last hurrah in the UK, if he could pull it off OK, if not .....!! Jose never attempted to put down roots in the NW and was...

Really? Then the only thing to look forward to is I will forget everything in due course and wonder what the feck is going on around me. :rolleyes:

The prospects are that whilst Ukraine is willing to 'bleed' and to continue the struggle, taking the hits etc. it becomes (if unofficially) NATO's front line and for the rest of Europe (if not a Trump led USA) a cause that it has to defend...

Very true, United on a 'hiding to nothing', likely to miss out on Europe next season, the managers getting sacked in the morning, lots of United players are going to be shipped out left right and centre in the next transfer window. It seems the...

Hasn't Shaw since admitted it was the pressure put on him by Mourinho, that turned him around?

In the almost two and half years he spent as United's manager Jose lived all of that time in a luxury hotel suite and reputedly never really looked for a house in the NW. Somehow he must have known he wasn't stopping! Yes, Jose had some...

It would seem as though both Coventry and United have been suffering 'just waiting for the semi to come around' mood; both seem to have dropped their form and both will hope to pick it up on the day. Whichever one comes nearest will take the...

It can look that way, especially when you realise it isn't just in the UK where this hypernormalisation is at work. We are seemingly entering a state of permanent flux in world affairs, especially in both Gaza and the Ukraine where in both wars...

Is it though? Whenever the Tory's have been in power for long spells and there have been a few over the latter part of the 20th Century, their party's leadership start to disintegrate. Many will head for the hills, some are bewildered and keep...
