I’ll be fair to him, I wasn’t keen at all until I saw him live. Actually pretty good.

I try to steer clear of the mud flinging but you’re making it very difficult. You said unemployment reached nearly 11% under Labour. I show you data that says it was less than half that. What is the point of your link?

It was nowhere near 11% under Labour. ONS has the unemployment position at 5.3% when Labour lost control in May 1979.

Then it’s a higher cost. Deal with it or find something else that does the same job. Basic economic method of tackling negative externalities. If there is a gap in the market then there will be development of products to fill that gap. Take your point on pension funds but ultimately you could...

You’re looking at it the wrong way round. Don’t get me wrong, long-term I agree with that premise but short-term the point is that if the cost of oil goes up due to the associated tax (as you would expect to be the case) either companies take a hit on margin or they switch to cheaper...

Or, of course, you could consider that this tax is to disincentivise use of oil seeing as we want to move towards a more sustainable future. Taxing oil companies more heavily will encourage companies and industries reliant on oil to look at other more sustainable (and possibly cheaper)...

But the quandary, as has been explained previously numerous times, is that the bulk of Labour membership are Remain but their core voter base (the northern towns and districts) voted leave. Coming out one way or the other severely alienates a huge bulk of voters. I actually feel that what...

His mum shouted him down for dinner half an hour ago but he just won’t leave his xbox alone.

You’re missing the point. Many still refer back to 2010 and the fact that there was no money left. Course there was money left - but it’s a lie that people bought en masse.

Because that way you can’t complain?

If that’s the case then why bother with social media marketing at all? Why have the Tories ramped up their social media spending? No one is influenced by it, after all.

Alas, no. When bed shopping last year there was a particularly irritable chap working there who was very pushy. So much so that I had a not so discreet word with him to leave me and the other half be.

‘I’m afraid there is no money.’ The letter I will regret for ever | Liam Byrne And I still see people actually claim there was no money left.

Didn’t watch last night but couldn’t sleep so watched it at 5am today. Johnson was flapping - he’s a truly horrific debater. Despicable what CCHQ did and should have the boom thrown at them.

Slight tangent, but I remember a fair few years back now Virgin brought in unlimited annual leave for a large bulk of staff and found productivity increased.

Was this at Dreams in Gallagher Retail Park perchance?

Didn’t know about either of these - sources?

As an aside, and not saying that I’d want him back imminently due to reasons stated, could you see both him and O’Hare occupying the two advanced midfielder slots in our current formation?

Indeed, but we were needing to get a train and hadn’t left enough time to walk. As it happened, we missed the train we were aiming for and also the one after. Then we went into All Bar One and missed the following one as well!

The ginger Messi. Get in the bin.
