PSA - I logged on at 14:10 and showed ‘no tickets matching this criteria’ which appeared to be a sell out. However, ringing the ticket office got it sorted so if anyone else is having issues - try ringing up!

It’s a huge problem, all of our infrastructure projects always come in over budget with huge delays. At some point, a PM will get elected to have a bonfire of red tape. The prevailing mood of the country was that our state apparatuses were paralysed by a feeble Tory government riddled with...

Great idea and its good to have a formalised fixtures pitting the best Northern Southern Hemisphere on a regular basis. On a football related note, this is something FIFA needs to consider for its international calendar. Brazil v Tunisia in France is just not something neutral supporters care...

We didn't sign Sakamoto from the Japanese market, he was playing for a team in Belgium when we scouted him. Any player signed we make now needs to consider the fact that we will probably get promoted this year. I don't think there are many players in the J-League who can come in and start for...

1400+ is optimistic because it’s a small allocation but a lot of people are choosing between PNE and Ipswich because it’s two away games with a lot of travelling.

Massive reforms needed to the UEFA calendar, particularly the Euros qualification process - 32 teams in a 57 confederation is a joke. The basis of qualification should be the Nations League. As a supporter, what is the point of the likes of Andorra coming to play Tier 1 nations? Rugby has a...

Born in the USA!!!

Not right away, my personal view is that at some point, BTA will drop out. As things stand, he’s 100% played himself into the starting 11. It’s a shootout between him and Haji atm.

Our charity bet has seemingly coincided with a goal glut from the pair! I'm all here for it!

It was continuing a trend of the New Labour years where every institution needed an ‘independent’ quango. Of course, the independence of these institutions is in name only because all of their assumptions are premised on v narrow parameters. Politically, the Tories pushed on with it to doom...

Absolute steal that we offloaded his wages and picked up 750k for the privilege last season.

Agreed and particularly on energy costs. One of the fundamental problems with the OBR is that is inherently biased against any tax cuts. Removing 5% VAT from energy bills would technically mean less revenue, but there's a multiplier effect when people will spend cash elsewhere, probably on 20%...

To add onto this, our energy policies are disastrous and some of the most expensive in the developed world. To generalise, we’re almost voluntarily deindustrialising. Energy prices and economic growth are closely linked.

At this point, I’d rather a government lowers/abolishes the personal allowance rather than increase income tax. It’s been a de facto tax rise for years no, practiced by both Tory and Labour. This is exactly the thing that this Labour government would, completely slippery people. The electorate...

In fairness to Streeting, No. 10 has kicked off the briefings war and has been hostile to many cabinet ministers.

Houses are being built, just at a slower rate than net migration. Likewise, more arrivals require more hospitals, roads, schools and so on. That’s a v basic principle that the electorate understands. Far from being a myth, it’s a reality that resonates with the majority of voters. The failure to...

If you build 200k houses a year and net migration is 350k and above… where are these new arrivals being housed? Again, all housebuilding targets are premised on net migration being 300k and simultaneously, not meeting housing targets and net migration significantly higher than 300k per annum...

It really isn’t. The public have been voting for lower immigration, they got consistently got the opposite. Labour and Tories made promises and didn’t keep them. The polling @chiefdave shows you exactly where their support is coming from; disaffected Tories, ‘small c’ conservative working class...

Class! Lampard’s record here speaks for itself and he’s had 40+ games and averaging around 2 points per game. This despite a relatively slow start and poor away form towards the end of the season. The hype is real and we’ll know exactly where we are in a few games time.

To answer my own question, they haven’t anything specifically. These are policies introduced by Sunak’s government. On polling: https://yougov.co.uk/topics/politics/trackers/do-brits-think-that-immigration-has-been-too-high-or-low-in-the-last-10-years?period=6m Would you support or oppose a...
