and rocket man 😊 Yeah, can change with the wind but I don’t recall many/any western leaders explicitly calling for Netanyahu to stop the war. Might well be a different message tomorrow though especially if Netanyahu says some nice things about him ps knowing trump he’s also seen the anti...

To be fair to trump (and I’m no fan) he’s better off meeting with Netanyahu than ignoring him. He’s also come out and said Israel should end the war and basically blamed Netanyahu for not stopping the Hamas attack in the first place. Sounds like he’s maybe telling Netanyahu a few home truths...

Too busy wasting time posting on SBT Dave

Tried to explain in several posts wingy. You remove the cap and only around 20% of the cost of that policy helps kids in some form of poverty. I’d rather find a way where 100% of the cost/value goes towards reducing poverty, in particular the 1m estimated to live in destitution That might be...

I wasn't talking talking about Starmer/Reeves, it was my personal take that if people want to tackle poverty they’d be better ways to do it than remove the cap

Why not try to spend money as efficiently as possible in a targeted way so theres more for the people who need it most ?

As I mentioned in my other post ‘Removing the cap benefits 1.6m kids, 330k of which are said to be in living in poverty because of it. This costs 3.5bn per year (17bn over Parliament). I’m saying I’d personally rather have all that money directly spent on the 1m kids that live in destitution’...

As I was saying though, if reducing child poverty is what people want, removing the two cap limit is a poor and inefficient way to do it. If there’s other reasoning to remove it then that’s different but that’s not been the main argument

My point is if the reason/argument for removing the cap is to help kids living in poverty there’s probably far more efficient and effective ways of doing that Removing the cap benefits 1.6m kids, 330k of which are said to be in living in poverty because of it. This costs 3.5bn per year (17bn...

Exactly. I doubt anyone wants to see any child living in poverty, however, child poverty and benefits relating to it is a far more complex issue than this one policy. I don’t know for example whether the cost incurred in removing the cap would help more kids in need than say using that money in...

Never gets old

Tricky wank

As equally good with cash by the sounds of it

And people wonder why the BBC is fucked 🤷‍♂️

The problem will be without some independent assessment such as the OBR the markets will increase the cost of borrowing. Rightly or wrongly it’s for the government to put their case to the OBR how they believe any policy choices will help improve the economy, growth etc and/or indicate they have...

I said at the time that people should be concerned about the power of the markets/OBR etc (even though I thought truss was crazy). People ignored it at the time because it didn’t fit with their ideology 🤷‍♂️. I do think people jumping up and down three weeks into a new government before a...

Thats what Liz Truss said 😊

Yeah, agree. They didn’t need to make those tax commitments. I expect we will all be taxed more in any event though

Give him a chance shmmeee, only played a dozen or so games. We don’t need to look back too far to see plenty of incorrect opinions on players after that number of games last season
