I never said it was deficit spending that caused the asset bubble though. In no expert but there are various things at play… The asset bubble was caused loose monetary policy - QE and minimal rates for way too long QE has also caused a debasement of currency and to some extent some inflation...

Darnolds probably as good a back up as you could hope for really though. He’s still a starter at some teams. Think you’ll do ok this season.

Agree, US is a very different beast. The points around deficit, printing, debasement etc remain though - they can get away with more than us though

Yeah, I agree, I’m not sure it’ll save much if anything, once alls done, but might ultimately be a better use of cash ie more going to the poorest and less going to those that don’t need it. Messy for the government though and that’s why I’d have done it for next winter rather than this (with...

Yeah, I feel a bit for the government on this. They obviously want to just remove the hand out for those that don’t need it. They released what they were going to do to early give pensioners as much time as possible to prepare. Unfortunately this has led to a rushed, unclear position on how they...

But it still potentially leads to the problems discussed before. The less perceived control over the deficit the more the markets will charge on the debt, to pay the interest on the debt you need to print more $/£ (as you’re running a deficit), if you print more $/£ you debase the currency ie...

Interesting, kind of what was being rumoured during tournament

People who aren’t filling the job roles we need/are available (or doing the jobs that U.K. economically inactive would do/could with right training - less likely but possible), dependents of students and lower paid workers etc ps thought I’d seen that chart before !

It would’ve helped but our PMIs have been stronger recently inc manufacturing which indicates some proper growth. As I’ve mentioned people/businesses were buying into a new government coming in, some long overdue stability and hopefully some growth policies (like the planning stuff...

Don’t want to be pedantic (again 😊), but it’s two quarters and this current one is looking ok based on the PMI readings (not wholly accurate) The problem the government will have is if/when it slows, which it undoubtedly will anyway, then the finger will be pointed at them for negative chat and...

Not saying I agree with it but I think that was Southgate logic. Gordon speaks very well. He also made comments prior to the game which were quite telling There were conspiracies that his talk about us being more aggressive/positive during the tournament (saying we needed to be better)...

Yeah, but I think he was very much setting up that team structure to be ready for the big boys ie hard to beat

Agreed. BSBs also correct though. Ruling out the increases to the major tax revenue generators was unnecessary. For starters they should’ve just said Tories NI cut was totally unfunded so would have at least be looked at post election.

He followed the party line to be fair. I was just saying to a mate I still think they’ve dropped a bollock. I personally would’ve gone down the route of riding the new government positivity wave, say we’ve finally got government stability, inflation heading back to normal and some growth after...

It’s is but also needs a bit of context. Southgate had to try to prepare us to beat the best teams in the summer and we do usually struggle for a bit of energy at end of season tournaments Having said that we appear to be pressing better, being a little bit braver on the ball and look far more...

Probably find out later in the season 😬

Also helped having a left footer on the left whos also got a bit of a pace to stretch them edit - think he’s naturally right footed but can go with left as well

The point was more that both sides have some elements/factions that are happy with high levels of immigration but also have others that want low/lower numbers (for differing reasons)

‘open ish borders’ As in relaxed about high levels of immigration. There’s plenty

Been watching second series of Field of dreams, got to love Freddie. Legend !
