Scottish Labour at a crossroads again as Sarwar jumps ship (www.bbc.co.uk)
 

A good read from Glenn Campbell here. What could Labour do to actually earn a vote? I'd certainly attempt a UK Labour split, and also be officially neutral on independence, whilst supporting Scotland's right to choose. That should help show Ian Murray the door, and Jackie Baillie thr boot

It would be a watershed moment in the sport. Really hope we don't see a repeat of last year, but if we do: Jamie George showing some good captaining a must!

Enjoy the rugby folks

Gonna predict a 4-2 SH win this weekend. Argentina to beat England, and Aus to beat Its about the only two likely close games

Loads of rugby again!

What an opener too. A real rivalry between Ireland and NZ, can the green team get a first win in like 100 years at Eden Park tomorrow?

I'm off to the Fiji game, tries ahoy!

And what a closer after the football this week too. England keen to show the world they are a good team. And a good team keen to show the world that England aren't.

Any predictions? Reactions and shitposts all appreciated!

Argentina showed up Wales imo. Physicality was lacking from about 55. Good first half!

Missed most the matches sadly myself. But watching Wales live now. And score says they are in it!

A Cunning Stunt - Can Count Binface Win? in c/world@lemmy.world
[–] Olap@lemmy.world 7 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Yes, I had the same thought. He could wear a shirt of himself perhaps, or perhaps plastic bin armour (which probably isn't against rules, you must only surrender your sword). Or of course, de-mask during the acceptance speech and then request that his oath is taken solely with the costume, representing his mandate from the elected people of Clacton as a compromise. Or refuse his seat without the bin. Can hardly be worse than Farage in this regard
