To any authors on here, what would you say is a good average daily amount of words to write while juggling a full time job?

I hope Malaysian born Fiona Bruce really presses the next Reform representative on Question Time.

After all, it's her right to vote that'll be on the line.

Now don't get me wrong, I don't like either Zahawi or Johnson, but would I change the rules to stop them from voting? Absolutely not.

This is how democracy dies.

First they'll ban citizens not born here, then they'll stop votes for women and then finally the working class man will lose his vote.

Here is a list of people who wouldn't be able to vote if Reform were to enact their plans to only allow British born citizens to vote:

Sir Mo Farah
Boris Johnson
Nadhim Zahawi
Raheem Sterling
Fiona Bruce
Rita Ora
Emma Watson
Tessa Sanderson
Richard E Grant

I could understand keeping him off if he had like 9 shots but scored 1, it'd show some sort of output, but he couldn't do that and it baffles me that Mousinho is persisting with him.

If he's not producing anything of note, there really is no harm in trying an alternative, Brown or maybe Caballero.

01.03.2026 18:03 β€” πŸ‘ 1    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 1    πŸ“Œ 0

This is exactly it.

He's not solely at fault for the fact we weren't 3/4-0 up by the time this incident happened.

Hull's keeper did very well, but we should've been burying so many of those chances.

Hoping Brown gets a chance ahead of Bishop next match.

Desperately need to get a new striker in the summer.

I agree, I think it's unfair to single him out.

This is the second game in a few weeks where we've absolutely dominated the match and come away with a 1-0 defeat at home.

He might be responsible for the goal against us, but he's not solely responsible for us failing to bury our chances.

28.02.2026 18:52 β€” πŸ‘ 1    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 0    πŸ“Œ 0

I think the majority of us love Bishop and are eternally grateful for his goals helping us get promoted.

But I think we need to seriously look for a new striker, not a future prospect, but one who can go straight into our team.

The Championship just looks a step too far for him. #Pompey

When the sack of orange human shit who currently occupies the White House eventually leaves this Earth, is there a games developer out there who could create a Command and Conquer Red Alert style game depicting this time in geopolitical history?

EA won't, because they're even more soulless now.

Benjamin Netanyahu isn't just a war criminal, he's a warmonger.

I'd argue they're likely hemorrhaging votes from the left and losing votes from the centre.

Then chasing the small amount of votes they lost to the right who won't vote for them again anyway because Reform have convinced them they want open borders, regardless of their immigration policies.

He clearly cannot read the room.

In denial about who he's up against and what the people of this nation are looking for in their politicians.

This is their chance to change to help us all, but they're clearly not going to do that while Klueless Keir is in charge.

She really isn't someone Labour should be using to speak to the public.

Using her logic, even more people rejected Labour in favour of less-established parties than those who overall rejected Reform.

At least they're not all delusional in the Labour party.

Why has Labour put out Heidi Alexander on media duties after losing that by-election?

She's not someone I'd consider a good communicator. I've seen her a few times on Question Time and always found her poor.

And that's without even looking at the levels of delusion just now on BBC Breakfast.

Zack Polanski is an incredible communicator. What he's just done so well on BBC Breakfast is to answer the question (some of them antagonistic) directly while also being able to talk about the policies they want to put in place were they to win power.

Seriously well done @zackpolanski.bsky.social

Oh my god, giving illegal migrants a wage, all so that they can pay more tax than some of the billionaires.

"Vote Reform

Tearing apart families, decimating communities and destroying the country."

Fixed it for them.

Not really impressed by Wrexham tonight against #Pompey

If they do go up, it'll be because like the others around the playoffs they're so hit and miss.

They'll need huge investment to not come back down with the lowest points total ever.

24.02.2026 21:48 β€” πŸ‘ 2    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 0    πŸ“Œ 0

2-0 is very generous to Wrexham.

We've looked decent, but again set pieces let us down #Pompey

You'd think the Sky Sports commentators were Wrexham fans from some of the comments.

On Regan Poole's "foul" just then: "He came a long way" yeah because he's trying to win the fucking ball your utter moron.

Oh and this ref is shit too #Pompey

I've started reading the article and noticed this bit:

β€œThe Reform slogan is family, community, country."

They need better comms as I've never heard any of them say that, it's always immigration.

I guess it'll actually be "Split up families, decimate communities and destroy the country"

Good point. I'd probably go Segs in that case. Bring Chaplin on later just to ease him back in before starting him on Saturday against Hull.

23.02.2026 21:04 β€” πŸ‘ 1    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 0    πŸ“Œ 0

I'd probably start Swift, then bring on Chaplin later on and use his energy against the tired Wrexham defence.

"the resurgent Blues find themselves inching towards Championship safety."

Shouldn't that be "inching towards the playoffs"? πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚
