I don't think you need a wet finger to see which way the wind's blowing on the European Super League announcement. It wasn't even formally announced before it was universally shat on.
He made the statement before it was formally announced. He got his take out 12 hours before Lineker, ffs - the fact that he got there early was literally the point I was making. I almost admire your urgency to have a pop at Sir Keith but isn't it absolutely exhausting?
Its more that it's a statement of principle. He came out with a take that's early and unequivocal, clearly not focussed grouped, it tells us something about the man behind the politician, sits within an area he's been traditionally passionate about, and speaks to the values of Starmer's Labour party and the kinds of people who should be voting for it. We should see a lot more of this stuff from him imo.
