    Transfer Rumour Marko Stamenic

    Yeah. If a Prem club comes in, I think he’ll want to go, whether we like it or not

    UEFA EURO 2024

    that’s what I like to hear Ian ! Just been listening to Jamie Ohara saying it’s the best team and squad we’ve EVER had. Best team in the tournament ‘by a million miles’ ! bold statements !!! 😂 (presume he’d had a long lively lunch and wasn’t expecting the call !)

    UEFA EURO 2024

    Shame for Maguire. Never let England down but no point taking him if he’s not fit. Sounds like shaws making positive progress…let’s hope so anyway

    Im talking when he’s out and about, the sanitised/controlled stuff. Interviews, tricky questioning etc outside of his comfort zone, not so good due to lack of substance

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    I don’t think it’s just them. Your average man on the street (not sure about women so much - bet most think he’s a bit creepy) seem to quite like him, same as Johnson. Not my cup of tea but as I say, he’s a good communicator so can speak to people in a way which many politicians can’t. A lot of...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Man of the people 😊 To be fair, as well as obviously playing on people’s fears, he’s a very good communicator, even if the substance behind it is questionable I’m not sure Sunak and Starmer, or a lot of politicians, have that ability to connect with normal people. Starmer made sure he’s got...

    Best TV shows or movies you can recommend

    Just finished The offer. Probably been mentioned before but it’s a drama about the making of the godfather inc the challenges they had with the mafia and a mafia power struggle subplot. Loved it.

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Nothing to do with financial crisis and the impacts of that ? That’s not denying austerity negatively impacted growth and public services. I’d imagine the costs and borrowing incurred from covid will outweigh the cost and impact of anything else edit - just to clarify I was talking financial...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    I’ve not said it is ? There is a hole in both parties projections though. Hunt only met his fiscal rules in March budget with commitments to real terms public sector cuts. Reeves said she would follow fiscal rules so it will be either cuts or tax increases from somewhere In addition there’s...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Yeah, both parties have a ‘hole’ in their projections and neither are being honest with the electorate. The country’s likely to give labour the benefit of the doubt after 14 years though, which it’s difficult to argue with I don’t mind Sunak, certainly compared to Truss and Johnson but he’s...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    To be fair, your question did make me wonder how government expenditure physically gets paid ie the mechanism. I honestly didnt know. I read that there’s something called a ‘ways and means facility’ run by BoE which by the looks of it the government uses for cashflow and deficits, It basically...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Not sure if it’s a myth but I always wash bananas as soon as I get home to get any ripening agents off them. Keep most of the other stuff in fridge whether advised to or not ps surprised if it’s not in Lib Dem’s manifesto though

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Spot on. This is also why I found it bizarre that Labour ruled out any increases to the major taxes over the next Parliament. Firstly, I don’t believe it will be possible and secondly, people are that frustrated by the poor public services, most would be willing to pay a bit more for improvement

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    I know they are. I’m not saying we can’t run a deficit (we need to). I’ve also said if it’s on infrastructure its likely to be far more acceptable/supported by the markets than random tax cuts. My point was that the markets will determine/dictate what is deemed acceptable and this will be...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Spot on. I said at the time, for all the shambles of the ‘Truss era’ it was interesting, and a little concerning, how much the markets dictated and will continue to dictate, policy where bonds/borrowing is involved (obviously can do what you want if you’re running a surplus). The alternative is...
