Exactly, the post-WW2 welfare state is just not viable anymore. It certainly isn’t being helped by low income mass migration either (separate issue).

Players are geared to maximise this goal. Let’s not conflate this with taking the maximum pay at each of their next steps. I’ll use two examples in our recent history to demonstrate this: MVE - supposedly Leeds were in the running to sign him. They could’ve paid him more but he chose us...

The middle class leftists types are driven more by envy of the rich than the downtrodden poor in my view.

You need to factor in NI and SFE repayments too. I maxed out my pension contributions to reduce my tax/SFE and NI. My salary that is in that bracket would be taxed over 50%. 40% income tax, 15% NI and an additional 9% on the SFE. Many middle class professionals are being taxed close to 55-65%...

There’s also a lot of feeling on the backbenchers that Starmer has his favourites and the left wing of the party iced out. So naturally, why would they be allow themselves to be voting fodder? For an agenda they don’t believe in and knowing they’ll lose their seat at the next election. In my...

There are many Labour MPs on this side of the house who know their chances of reelection are slim. So why not rebel on government legislation? Defections, not as sure but Starmer has withdrew the whip from quite a few MPs. As for Sultana, she was never going to be in government as a minister...

Which is what is happening with the non-doms after the closed the “loopholes”. As a rule of thumb, whatever new taxes are introduced rarely raise the sums they claim.

Oh, co’mon Fern, I’m only pulling your leg! It’s not strictly true that the government needs to ‘spend and tax’. After all, how else would have a budget surplus? ‘Unearned wealth’ is one of those slippery terms used by the left. If I invest money into companies that allows them to raise funds...

@fernandopartridge 😂😂😂

Starmer wants to be PM but doesn’t know what he wants to do in government. It’s taken less than a year to figure that out. A strong leader would’ve done that, Theresa May should’ve threatened to call a general election to whip the Brexit Spartans into line. She didn’t because she was a weak PM...

It’s set up and ready to go by the looks of it. I tried adding card details on mobile browser but the 2-factor authentication window would close whenever I tried to click an option. I’d happily join a scheme that opts into cup games. It saves the hassle of logging on and paying for it and a...

That and he’s proven himself to be a weak man who folds under pressure. Be it from his party, the public or anyone.

Co’mon @Saddlebrains, you need to pick up your game here!

You can get stocks and shares ISAs and yes, the 20k per limit applies there too…

Or perhaps they are actually onto something…

The fundamental issue is that Labour did not have a detailed manifesto to fall back on. Rachel Reeves will be ditched, perhaps McSweeney too. Make no mistake, Starmer is on borrowed time as PM.

The problem is, they’re not making anyone happy - even their own side. Starmer has very little authority already.

I’m probably a lot a younger than some of you old farts. I discovered the rock gods of the 60-80s before and during uni.

My first album was Kanye West so it’s a bit sad seeing his descent into madness!

If we’re digging out any defender specifically, you’d have to point the finger at MVE who player a part in both goals we conceded at home. Their second goal was unforgivable.
