2. There is a chance, tantalisingly close, that England could win the Euro and their first senior mens tournament trophy in 58 years! With the bonus that in Spain there are anti-tourist protests so the Brits can stick it to them (maybe, Spain’s team are bloody good!)
Anything else on the horizon that could lift the mood of the country? | |||

"Saying that I see the media are already stirring up Labour infighting around Child Benefit 2 kid limit so hmmmm!" It will take less than six months before we start to see serious shifts of direction in Labour. How they manage that will be the thing. | |||

" We will probably have to wait until he writes a book to see his reasoning on the GE date. It will look a bit odd though if SKS tries to take credit for the improved situation while at the same time blaming anything bad on the previous government. | |||

"Corbyn is already spouting a 'Planting seeds of new politics' With his independent seat of 1. It's main manifesto promise is 'self-delusion'. ****Independent MP Jeremy Corbyn has laid out a political strategy for the Left in an article for the Guardian newspaper, saying he is "planting the seeds for a new way of doing politics" in Islington and beyond. Mr Corbyn will hold monthly "people’s forums", which he described as "a shared, democratic space" for local campaigns, and trade, tenants’ and debtors’ unions. These forums, Mr Corbyn believes, are the basis of a new grassroots organising model. He wants it to be replicated across the country and called for people to "stand up for themselves and against those who have ignored their demands for peace and humanity".**** In Islington and Beyond lol.

This was being reported 3 days ago ... sounds ligit but I don't claim to know if that's the reason .... https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/rishi-sunak-real-reason-snap-election-b2578806.html | |||

If sunak was confident in the Rwanda scheme and the flight due in July, he would have had this as an ace up his sleeve. If knowing something else could stop the flight, he was wise to have GE beforehand, as he could (and did) claim Rwanda was still a valid deterrent in the making. Tbh nothing was going to stop the onslaught, not even a magic wand. | |||

"Nationalising the railways would be nice and a cheap way of doing it is not renewing the franchises. It would also avoid any silly lawsuits like when one franchise was awarded to somebody else and the other company got pissy about it." It's certainly cheaper to wait for the franchise to expire and then take ownership but do they also take ownership of any debts accrued and who pays if it's not profitable at some point | |||

"Nationalising the railways would be nice and a cheap way of doing it is not renewing the franchises. It would also avoid any silly lawsuits like when one franchise was awarded to somebody else and the other company got pissy about it." The only problem that I can see with simply waiting for contracts to expire is that existing franchise owners would fail to invest in, repair or renew any infrastructure as they will not see any financial benefit. | |||

"The only problem that I can see with simply waiting for contracts to expire is that existing franchise owners would fail to invest in, repair or renew any infrastructure as they will not see any financial benefit. " That's not a problem. The franchise owners only have a licence to operate the service. They don't own the trains, or the track, or the stations, or any of the signalling, power supplies, communications equipment, etc. There's nothing for them to invest in, repair or renew. | |||
