I think he'll go with Long again tomorrow on the basis that Gunn should be back after the international break. Thorup talked in his presser yesterday about 'a collective approach' which is code for the defence weren't good either on Tuesday so Long shouldn't get all the blame for the goals conceded.

Hopefully, Harris will gently be persuaded not to try again as she is tainted by association with Biden. The Democrats have to begin the process of finding new candidates ready for 2028 straight away as the election cycle is pretty short in the US.

If you believe everyone should vote then in a two horse race they have to choose one of the candidates. Harris offered nothing new and although she wasn't Sleepy Joe she will always be tied to his failings, Trump whether you like him or not promised to reduce the cost of living and tighter immigration controls which had a much broader appeal across the country. The parallels with Brexit are pretty clear - the Remain campaign focused on fear if the UK left the EU whereas Leave espoused massive benefits. Voters always want hope of a better future be that financial or otherwise and showmen like Trump and Farage give that to you in spades.

The blame for this lies solely at the door of the Democrats who had four years from the election of 'one term Joe' to find a young progressive candidate to go against Trump. Instead, they showed complete complacency and arrogance assuming that even when Biden had to step aside Harris would probably still win. If you look at the numbers, Trump didn't just win he thrashed Harris despite the polls suggesting it would be very close with the only comfort being he can't stand again.

Harris is an 'anyone but Trump' president nothing more, the world needs a US president with 'vision' and she's doesn't have that.

The irony of William's 'homeless' ITV prog last week and tonight's C4 report isn't lost on me, I'm sure he means well but come on it doesn't look good.

The betting odds differ from the polls and show Trump winning.

Doak looked good because he was up against Doyle who allowed him too much room, an experienced full back would have been much tighter. Is it any coincidence that Sunday was Doak's most productive performance of the season? What this debate does highlight is the size and quality of the top PL clubs playing rosters, Doak and Gordon are unlikely to break into the Liverpool first team anytime soon but are more than good enough for two Championship teams chasing promotion, a bit like Doyle they are 'conveyor belt' players destined to make millions for their clubs when sold as opposed to being a future first team fixture.

The American electoral college voting system is bonkers, in 2016 Clinton got nearly 3 million actual votes more than Trump but still lost badly and this year it could well happen again.

It now turns out that the guy the MP hit was not the same one that had been convicted of harassing him last year which pretty much takes away any mitigation for me. Whilst MP's should be able to enjoy a night out without being hassled getting into a drunken argument with a constituent and then assaulting them seriously calls into question the person's suitability to sit in parliament and dictate to rest of us what we can and can't do. The guy should resign immediately and accept the consequences of his actions.

Whether he deserves prison or not is irrelevant, he committed a violent crime and I expect him to be charged and prosecuted just like any of us would be. It will be up to a judge (assuming it gets that far) to decide if the mitigating circumstances are enough to spare him from jail.

McKenna or Carrick for me if United are prepared to try a young manager.

I'm not sure there's really much to debate, an MP assaulted a member of the public which was caught on camera. Even if you throw in a bit of context what the MP did was just plain wrong.

Regardless of the provocation the MP should have called the police, the guy he hit has a suspended sentence and a five year restraining order so would likely have been banged up. Now, the MP will probably be kicked out of the party and be charged with assault with the possibility of a jail term himself.
