Boring, opinionated old guy & those are my good points!😊extremely concerned for future with far right radicalised Tory Party & now a far right Labour Govt. Pro EU membership. Pro NHS. Pro equality. Social liberal. Cricket bore as well.

  1. Zoe is a breath of fresh air in an arena that's full of far-right lies, scare stories & dangerous misinformation. The UK needs safe routes for asylum seekers. It's the only way to stop the small boats that are endangering so many desperate lives. @bremaininspain.com

  2. If test cricket is so great, wouldn't it be also great if more than a handful of nations got to play it?

    Also wouldn't it be even better if more than a tiny group of nations got to play more than a few test matches a year?

  3. Given India came into the series with a new captain, no Kohli & Sharma, it's a huge achievement.

    Imagine England go to India in 2026 without Stokes & Root, only for captain Jamie Smith to come back with a 2-2 draw...

    As an Eng fan, it's a real disappointment and makes us outsiders for WTC again.

  4. A wonderful and v unusual, by modern day standards with every test going to 5 days, series cricket wise. Those pace bowlers who played & bowled for 4/5 tests deserve a medal. Sadly a series that paints an extremely bleak picture for England in ashes in the winter.

  5. Quite a few FBPE, Green and LibDem people liking this post as well, which makes me suspect the Labour supporters saying “Good riddance, fuck ‘em, don’t need ‘em” might not have fully grasped the severity of their situation

    My earnest advice to Labour supporters concerned about the new left party is to accept that:

    1. The Labour Party leader told those people to leave

    2. Those people are now gone.

    3. You will not scold them into returning.

    4. You have 4 years to get your party to attract them back into the fold.
