You've got to hand it to Farage really. Years of 'it's all the EU's fault, we need to get out' and then when he finally gets his wish says it's nothing to do with him. But then repeats the exact same arguments but this time it's the ECHR and the same people that believed him last time believe...

Once again you're leaping to conclusions about what other people believe. Merely point out that emigration is largely unchanged in the latest figures. Not sure what you want tbh. Labour won the election in July 2024 so these are the first year of figures for a Labour government and show a...

This is the fundamental issues isn't it. Doesn't matter how much tax is when it's all going in the pockets of the government of the days mates. People are happier to pay tax if they see it being used effectively, we are a million miles away from that.

Interesting if you dig further into that poll when asked about individual elements of the budget the result flips and people are not strongly against the vast majority of things in the budget

I thought the episodes were OK but it felt a bit like an anthology show where a different character got an episode each week. Heard an interview with one of the cast saying the ending got changed late on to enable them to return for a potential movie or special at some point. Not sure how much...

Sorry to hear that mate. Being made redundant is tough at any point but this time of year seems to make it worse, especially when it comes from out of nowhere. Hopefully something turns up pretty soon. No idea what industry you work in but sometimes when a big-ish company goes bust you see a...

BBC reports that the figures show little change for emigration?

Hope they've factored in the impact on the second hand market as the Motability scheme plays a big part in that. Think its, as ever, all a bit misleading and playing to the crowd. You don't just pick a car and get it paid for, you get an allowance. Very few cars fall below that allowance so in...

I was about to quit work and sell me house!

But then you'd have the equity from the house sale sat in the bank which would be classed as savings which would cause your benefits to be slashed. In theory social housing would work, in reality not so much. Councils publish waiting times for social housing, selling your house would put you...

Not to single you out as there's loads of similar posts but whenever I see things about people happily living on benefits I always wonder how. My GP has suggested to me, on more than one occasion, I take an extended amount of time off work for health reasons. When I look up what I would be...

Love this

Complain you can't afford to live in your mansion and drive your fleet of Range Rovers while telling other people they'd be fine if they cancelled Netflix!

Whenever its budget time you get various news sources doing their 'how typical people will be impacted' type pieces. I've already seen one for a couple earning over £100K. Seems way out of touch with the average person struggling to pay their bills.

I'm on the worlds cheapest Sky subscription since they ballsed it up when I moved years ago. I have zero guilty conscience not telling them about that.

Or in my Mums case, sent twice. Fuck knows how they've managed that. Getting hold of an actual person to reverse that seems near impossible. Tempted to tell her to leave it in the bank and wait for them to ask for it after a couple of hours on hold.

It is to me, if you've got £50K spare knocking around send it my way :ROFLMAO:

Yep, not too much in there really that was unexpected or anything really too controversial. Badenoch looks ridiculous making her response and demanding resignations. I know we've got a pretty low bar for quality of MPs across all parties but surely they can find someone better than her. The...
