    So here we are. The danger of the internet laid bare in one post. Basically someone can just post any allegation on the internet whether verified or not and/or with no context attached. And if it is said enough times, even if untrue, the echo chamber starts to believe it and amplify the message...

    No not everyone can be an entrepreneur but a property tax for example would hit people other than just millionaires to bring in decent money for the treasury. Take a landlord with one property, they have already paid extra stamp duty, seen their mortgage relief cut and are now paying 2% on top...

    Ive always considered myself as Labour through and through, a centre left progressive type. But I have never been more disillusioned by the party. Not because I thought Starmer was great but because of the utter disloyalty they have shown to their leader. I didn't like it when the party did it...

    For those examples there are millions of of ordinary people who own assets just through hard work. And we shouldn't flog them to death for it ..

    For sure, but there has been no quarter given for those mistakes or any kind of acknowledgement of what he has done well. I think the main reason has been he's been a bit bland and hasn't communicated well. He also chose the wrong advisors. The whole Mandelson thing was a particular brick show...

    The Labour Party have been awful through this. As I say he hasn't been a great PM but fudge me he's had some challenges and he's kept us out of the brick show war in Iran. In that respect, he has shown better judgement than Tony Blair

    Also, if you have worked hard to build those assets and save, then to me, it doesn't seem fair to just tax those assets to death. It doesn't necessarily make you rich because you own assets. We seem to only think of asset wealth as being for the super wealthy or dodgy criminal types who collect...

    The treatment of Starmer by the press, the Labour Party and the public has been nothing short of appalling. Yeah for sure he has been an underwhelming PM. But the visceral hated of the man in many quarters is completely disproportionate to the reality. When you have chancers like Boris and...

    Wasn't he one of the orchestrators of the violence against the sikh community following the tragic death of Henry Nowak and again the race riots in Northern Ireland? Let's be clear, today it's Muslims in his cross hairs. Tomorrow it will be a different minority group

    Jan Paul van Hecke

    It’s about partnerships. Goals conceded or not are rarely because of one player. At Brighton he has Lewis Dunk doing the water carrier role. We need partnerships that complement each other. We saw that when Romero was injured and Danso replaced him alongside VDV. Neither Van Hecke nor VDV are...

    Jan Paul van Hecke

    Cautious welcome! For me, I would want Danso to be part of our back line. He is such a solid defender and we need that in the back line. Can’t have 4 ballers at the back who don’t do the basics of defending otherwise we will continue to leak goals.

    Great signing! Left footed, ball playing CB. Wish he was a couple of years younger though...

    Andy Robertson

    Not sure mate. Milner I'd argue was still reasonably effective well into his 30s as he played a different role. Let's see; AR has my support while he's here though.

    Best wishes to him. Wonderful player who gave me such great memories alongside Kane, Dele Son and Dembele,

    Andy Robertson

    We"ll see but Palhinha and Maddison are decent leaders. .Both were important figures in keeping us up. He was someone we wanted in January so I am guessing this is a Lange signing rather than RDZ. Presumably his wages will be quite high.too so would have preferred someone younger;. His best days...

    Andy Robertson

    For me Robertson was not a priority. Can see he brings a winning mentality but likely his best days are long behind him. Won't get excited until we address our priority areas though, forwards and deep lying passing midfielder.
