Im not ‘everything’s foreigners fault’, never have been, never will be. But to not recognise that uncontrolled, unplanned population growth doesn’t cause major issues is also wrong in my book edit - in terms of the data it’s impossible to tell what impact individuals elements have had. Whats...

Both can be true. The great financial crisis no doubt caused productivity issues/stagflation from 2008 but population growth since 2010 is also up 10%+ which would also negatively impact GDP per capita (especially if it’s the wrong type of population growth) So you had a squeeze on spending...

There is no doubt India would’ve been caught a bit in two minds in the second innings because of Stokes/Mccullum. It must fuck with oppositions heads knowing what we’ve been able to chase, do they go for runs on the board or take time out the game. As you say, under former management we’d have...

What an amazing win. Looked out of it on several occasions over the five days but hung in there. Stokes/McCullum have changed the face of test cricket, as much on the mentality side as anything Still by far the best format

Oh dear. Nervy now

sorry, just seen this, posted on other thread. Too much going on to keep up

Looks like Netanyahu is pushing him to the point of losing US support

Just seen this as well. Wonder what he’ll so if Israel ignore

Fair play to Trump here. I think he’s speaking for a majority of the world with that comment

Sooner he’s out and there’s also regime change in Iran the better. Still hoping we can stay out of the mess over there though

Think I read that it’s the only route any Middle Eastern countries (Saudi etc) can export oil and also China relies on oil supplies coming through here. So even if they confirmed it’s going to be shut, I can’t imagine other countries would allow this to be for long. Saying that, Putin will be...

was it Trump first term ?

Wasn’t the film an account of what actually happened/recollection of what happened so not sure it’s about what was the point of them in the film

Warfare (film). Great film co-written by Iraqi war vet. Very intense though so not an easy Sunday watch !

You can only really judge any actions on what happens next, I’m glad we haven’t been directly involved to date though. Also there’s a difference between trying to remove Iran’s nuclear capabilities (no major issue with US doing this if there was a serious threat) and regime change (not for us to...

what’s he say ?

Yafai v Rodriguez is a cracker

my point was that the grooming gang scandal goes back 25 years so I can’t imagine underfunding was a problem compared to the main issues already mentioned.

I wasn’t necessity talking about the specific productivity measures, however, they have been in place for a while so should provide a steer on performance. I do agree they are imperfect for the public sector. If there are reasons and justifications for the drops from pre pandemic levels then...
