AFC Wimbledon I believe. Not entirely sure what that's born out of, probably the fact they both gained promotion from the Conference together, but they're the only team I've heard of that have any sort of rivalry with Crawley. Maybe Orient too, but it'd be a stretch to call them rivals.

I'm a total Republican, dead against the idea of having a hereditary head of state, however, I do feel the Queen's address yesterday was rational and on point. I would also point to Brendan Cox's alternative address as an articulate and calm but evocative assessment of where we are as a society...

Reading between the lines there, looks like he is going to take Steve Holland's place as assistant manager at Chelsea.

I thought ASLEF were striking on Friday?

I think Lampard is a more stable influence and less of a big time Charlie than people think to be honest. Met the guy once, very down to earth and articulate. Not the vibe you get with most footballers at all. As a player, in truth, I think he'll score a few but ultimately doesn't have a lot in...

Here's hoping Southern's system is working because I really don't have a years worth of expired tickets lying around! Compensation is obviously very welcome and I think is very fair.

https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2016/dec/01/brexit-secretary-suggests-uk-would-consider-paying-for-single-market-access David Davis suggests we might remain in the single market, pound rises again,as it did after the article 50 court case. Funny that.

Yep, I can definitely see that happening. It's certainly been brewing.

Luckily, Haywards Heath still have Gatwick Express... for now (then they'll be cutting our services, but presumably still charing me £370 a month). Really trying to find a job outside of London (despite generally being really happy in my current job). Not totally because of the state of the...

I hope the RMT and ASLEF twig soon that yes, Southern and the Government are awful but they're not listening and the best deal they're going to get is already on the table (and it's not a bad offer at all). DOO and then driverless trains is inevitable. Striking constantly is only hurting the...

Soames has been communicating that some sort of compensation package is going to be announced this week. Presumably an extension to delay repay?

HoC Library cited by both Andrea Leadsom and Nick Clegg. 13% if you include statutory instruments (things like working time directive were passed as statuotory instruments), around 70% if you count regulation (against vast majority doesn't affect us and a lot of it is really frivellous for...

I think your post is quite ridiculous on the basis we haven't left yet and don't even know the terms! At this stage you have to look at what the speculators are doing, how the markets are responding. The currency has collapsed, food prices have risen at an average of 5% (this will inevitably be...

I'd agree that the Remain Campaigns were shoddy, but I think Vote Leave relied on a lot of rhetoric and spin and failed to present a realistic vision of how post-Brexit Britain would operate and what it would mean for people's living standards- I think some of it was very misleading. In fact...

Except we hold a veto, so it'd be our representatives and the European Parliament and Council that would be at fault for pushing through things like an EU army. On the EU being a superstate, I agree that many within the EU want to see this. What I would say is that generally speaking the EU...

We don't even know now what Brexit means other than leaving the EU. I seriously doubt people were prepared to leave the EU at all costs - a fall in living standards for example usually changes public opinion quite drastically- and that's where the confusion is. The consequences of leaving the EU...

That's not what I'm saying. The Government should make the first move and it should be scrutinised and if there are better alternatives, they should be proposed.

Not sure that's the case. There's plenty of models proposed- in or out of the single market, in or out of the EEA. As I say, it needs to be scrutinised. We don't completely know what is being proposed and we don't know what the consequences of the proposal being made. A leak that's come out...

I don't think the Remain side should or will dictate the terms of Brexit. The majority of Parliament will either be whipped or at least understand the need to respond to the result of the referendum. What should and will happen is a full Parliamentary debate taking into account the concerns of...

The two main parties will be whipped not to vote against Article 50- it will be passed. There will, however, be scrutiny and hopefully amends to the bill to protect our interests- which is the fundamental role of MPs- to represent and protect our interests (because democracy doesn't always throw...
