Sign Josh Omomah for a month to offer him up...

Last time I stayed over I stayed at the Grand up by Snow Hill, it's lovely and was ~ยฃ110 when we stayed last month.

And with it drive more active tactical voting *against* it. I genuinely believe Reform could be ahead in the popular vote by a larger amount and fail, because when push comes to shove, the majority find them unpalatable to the point where they'd almost vote for anyone to stop them...

I'm broadly quite radical. And am a little bit frustrated that LDs are playing it too safe on almost all issues. I'm not that impressed with anyone...

I find Callum quite impressive tbh. But I've not a clue what he thinks on pretty much anything.

Prior to becoming leader. Low profile operative fits with his approach

Shadow Home Sec. I think that's half the problem with the party now, few are given the chance to go out and represent us. But, I wouldn't say Davey was ever especially high profile.

I really don't think Josh would be Ed's pick for leader. He's too dynamic, too willing to put himself out there and say something. Ed's current protege is, I think, Lisa Smart.

It certainly was on my stream, which is Premier League productions so goes most places outside the UK...

Super Marc Albrighton?

Bon chance he keeps up the stellar record of Villa loanees and former players knocking them in down there...

Nostalgia is a hell of a drug, and I like it a lot #avfc

Promoted with a series of ageing stars too. What a feeling, when you're watching Glen Whelan...

You're right on what's important. I imagine he thought he was picking up a prolific striker. That it hasn't worked out that way is nicely mitigated by an large amount of set piece goals

Having said that, I think many many people expected that to be the return with Gyok. Given that Premier League teams weren't chomping to pick him up from Coventry...

I really don't think that's plausible. Not to say that an Emile Heskey style of forward isn't valuable, but I don't believe for a second that Arteta expected to pick someone up for that price that scores non penalty goals every couple of months...

I get you. But in terms of diplomacy, it's second tier (SCS2 rather than SCS3 job grade). But SCS2 comfortably puts him in the top couple of % of staff within the entire diplomatic service. It doesn't mean he was especially high performing or impressive...

It may not be a route to perm sec, but being HM Ambassador is kind of a big deal...

The lack of ambition is truly something to behold. We're decades behind the rest of western Europe

Quite right! The olay need isn't as strong as it seemed. Up the Villa and hopefully you and Ollie will both be knee sliding in celebration! #avfc

Arteta was very fortunate to get grace that Emery was not afforded... I think he would've delivered more to Arsenal in time than Arteta, but circumstances conspire.

He has control at Villa that almost no other team would grant and is foundational to his success. I hope he stays a long time.

Being in the list at all. He's a flat track bully and Arsenal had their pants pulled down.

I see the fragile masculinity flag crew have been out in Didcot of all places...
