  1. Trust me, if Starmer and Sunak attended ALL the debates you'd be absolutely sick of them more than you are now. Firstly, I'm largely of the opinion that there are too many debates, I's be perfectly happy with none. Just like it always used to be by the way, they are a modern phenomenon from the last few elections If they are as badly moderated as all of them have been so far then they are utterly pointless. There are far better ways for parties to get their message across than these debates, not one of them has shifted public opinion much at all
  2. Why would they? How many party leaders were actually in those debates?
  3. Not true. They have faced each other and will again.
  4. If Carlsberg did incredibly stupid questions...
  5. Yes exactly, its third on the list of Plaid target seats and the smallest difference on the list between Plaid and the leading Party in a seat (Plaid lead in two) Hence my assertion that electoral calculus model isn't as good as people think it is. There is no third Plaid Seat in play unless something mental happens
  6. I'm also hearing that Paramore have kinda fallen out with Taylor Swift because she's insisting on writing their set list for them
  7. Thinking out loud moment. I'm wondering if England in the Euros will help or hinder Reform? I have no real idea, part of me thinks it'll take the attention span of a good chunk of their amoeba like supporters away from the election. Right now there's nothing happening to distract them.
  8. Its the little things...the lies you think will go unnoticed...
  9. I'm really not sure the Electoral Calculus model works anymore, I suspect they've never really dialled in such a low Tory share of the vote I also really think it has to be exceptional, as mentioned previously, that Plaid get 3 MPs, the third seat presumably is Llanelli and they really do have to climb a mountain there
  10. Only one song but all 4 members playing together on stage
  11. @tonyh29is going to hunt you down and ply you with shandy until you realise the error of your ways It can’t be Toblerone unless it resembles Mont Blanc
  12. Peter Gabriel - Shaking the Tree (12 Golden Greats) Contains all the hits Compilation from 1990, in remarkable NM condition. Plays perfectly, I’ve bought new records in far worse condition.
  13. Nah, it’s not a radio thing, it has multiple pressings in different countries and even at least three different covers (yellow / red / with a heart) and was originally released in 1962 but released multiple times up to 1967 (which is when the UK version was released) Strange thing
  14. @Seat68 This was in the haul. and this Not played them yet
  15. They had MPs in the 80s. The Gang of 4 split from the Labour Party. Shirley Williams, David Owen, Roy Jenkins and the other one. Won a couple of by-elections, Crosby and Glasgow Hillhead. Then they went into an Alliance with the Liberals and eventually the combined parties became the Liberal Democrats except the were factions of the original parties that refused to join the new party and both the Liberal Party and the SDP still exist today. Yes there is a Liberal Party and a Liberal Democrat Party. In Liverpool we have councillors of both Orange varieties.
  16. The Social Democratic Party that entered into a pact with Reform in 2022? SDP.org
  17. This was in the haul. Never heard it before but some research tells me it was Manzanera's first solo album released in 1975 I think apart from Brian Ferry, every member of Roxy Music features as does Robert Wyatt (on the opening track), Eno is even singing It may just be slipping into the keeper pile. I mean it’s not fantastic but it is a curio for the collection
  18. If Jenkins was in the Labour Party she’d rightly have been expelled by now
  19. Maybe Download are trying to copy the old Reading vibe where they always picked an act guaranteed to be bottled off? 50 Cent, Daphne and Celeste et al
  20. Oh and if you think this election is bonkers, check out some of the stuff that has already happened in the French one. I may start a new thread later
