Adam Bolton is awful by the way, constantly screaming that we're heading for recession. I'm not saying the economy is stable, but he is really, really shouting high doom in a way I find somewhat irresponsible.

Boulton is married to a Blairite and well connected to Labour albeit the Progress group.

Well Sky's share price is down like almost everyone else. I hope the PL clubs haven't spent money they haven't received yet.
I've avoided the newspapers, social media and even pb today. Beautiful day in the garden. I am calm and serene. Or I was, until I started watching the footy.

There's a fake Laura Kuenssberg account tweeting that the PLP are going to put up Lord Mandelson as a candidate against Corbyn. IT IS A FAKE, DON'T FALL FOR IT

Biggest laugh I've had all day. Thank you. Talk about a stalking horse candidate.
I've got two bets on this game, one on Iceland winning in any way, and another on England winning with 4 goals or more (regardless of the number of Icelandic goals). Both of them seemed like value before the game started.

Sanctions against Russia will weaken because Germany & a bunch of Eastern European countries are no longer keen. Brexit truly isn't the root of all evil, or so I venture .

The 10 seconds it took me to work out that it was a fake were very enjoyable.
Well they are one of the titans of European football.
Iceland.
ICELAND.
We're being beaten by a country that is basically a volcano surrounded by two million haddock. gg England.
It is in EFTA though and outside the EU so maybe we should let them win to give us a hearing?
The way we're playing we won't even get a herring....
Regardless Iceland have been strong throughout this tournament showing you do not need to be in the EU to have a good football team, even if England underperform as usual

I don't think governments then worried much about borrowing, they worried more about maintaining full employment. There was terror too of a large current account deficit.
We already had planning controls then; they were introduced in 1948.
As I understand it, he did so by massively relaxing building regulations, so we essentially built terrible quality houses and flats in the 50s and 60s, many of which we are currently knocking down.
The house building boom in the 30s, however, was mostly private-sector led, caused by interest rates of 2%. So we have houses which people still want to live in.
We need to encourage self-build: 10% of houses in UK, 60% in France and Germany, 80% in Austria. That's one way to ensure houses that at least one person wants to live in.
And we might even stop the under-40s being so pee'd off.
It looks like that with Crabb and Javid. I did wonder what Osborne was up to with his people at the weekend.
They haven't got a hope. It's going to be Boris or May, probably Boris, as the victorious LEAVERS will want someone from their side. Also, Boris very much wants the EEA/single market, almost-still-in-the-EU-but-not-quite solution, which most Tories favour. As the election comes before the triggering of A50, this is important.
The EEA (perhaps with some additional restrictions on free movement) option might also keep Scotland in the UK.
And the only people it would really p*ss off are Kippers.
Why are itv ever allowed to cover England games, our record is lamentable when they do..
I think the last time England exited a knock-out stage of a tournament on ITV was in 1998. The BBC will look a little foolish for taking first pick in the quarters over this round if we do go out. At least they still have Wales.

I agree with you. I think both Boris and May favour the EEA model which I, and many other Remainers I've spoken with, are quite happy with. I'm feeling optimistic for the first time since about 1.30am on the 24th.
Two questions to anyone with the answer:
1) While the UK is in the EU, could the UK agree a free trade deal with India without the approval of the EU?
2) If the UK is in EFTA/EEA, could the UK agree a free trade deal with India without the approval of a) EFTA b) the EU?
If the answer is 1) No 2) Yes then I would be even more optimistic.

If they could get rid of Farage and replace him with an unthreatening provincial cultural conservative they could be a force. Latest polls have them around 20% and that's before people start to feel betrayed.
Have we had any credible info from the EU8(?) foreign ministers meeting over the weekend? I daren't look in the newspapers as they're just full of self-serving shite at present (I don't expect that to change for at least a month).

What commentary team, do you speak Icelandic? The ITV commentators wittering on about nothing much as always
So weve already got usa putting us on fast track for a trade deal. Oz and Nz combining to agree a joint one with us, India giving up on a deal with EU after 10 years of frustration in favour of doing one with us and similar noises starting to emerge from Canada.
Didnt think this would start so quickly. How unloved is the EU?
I suspect Roy is doing the classic Blairite thing of managing expectations. Whereas before 3-2 would have sounded disappointing now it looks a good score.

Maybe but the Kremlin are certainly not displeased with the referendum result
Do English people get embarrassed by the commentaries on England games?
Yes.
In that case, do you realise that people in Scotland (and presumably Wales and NI) would be a lot less likely to back "anyone but England" if it were not for the ridiculous commentaries they are forced to listen to?

In truth, it's yet another thing I can do little about, so I don't worry my pretty little head about it. I do turn the commentary off, just to save myself the pain.
Do English people get embarrassed by the commentaries on England games?
I feel envious of the other home nations for whom being at the tournament is a big thing. Tyldesley just over does his commentary.
I have a theory that if England games had commentaries by Scots in Scotland, etc, then people in the other home nations would be much, much more favourable towards England.
Fox drifting - starting to look like 4 horse race:
Boris and May; with Crabb and Leadsom as outsiders.
Leadsom was distinctly unimpressive in the Wembly debate, workmanlike but robotic and outshone by Stuart and Johnson. Unless Crabb reveals some very interesting ideas and surprising charisma he's coming from nowhere to challenge the big hitters. I'm not sure May truly wants it enough to beat Boris.

And yet, when I hear Gerry Armstrong doing a Northern Ireland game I really want them to win? Doesn't work with Robbie Savage and Wales, mind.

We still haven't apologised for treating them as terrorists when their banks collapsed. Another thing the English can thank Gordon Brown for.
