    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    I'm not a higher rate tax payer, and pay the minimum into my pension at the moment as I can't afford more (the joys of having to pay a couple of grand a month for my Dads care, creating a nice big pile of debt) but even then by the time the various deductions are made you've lost over 25%. My...

    If they can hold it together until the next election might be a bit more interest in Coventry South than normal. Hopefully we get some novelty candidates!

    Oasis Reunion

    is for most gigs now but doesn't seem to stop a lot of people paying a small fortune for a dodgy screenshot or emailed ticket.

    cricket 2025

    once again the problems with bazball exposed. I get that it has some upside and can be exciting but you're going to struggle to beat India and the Aussies.

    Israel - Palestinian Conflict

    Every legal talking head I've heard on various news programs has said proscribing Palestine Action is a disaster waiting to happen as it will be completely unenforceable due to the number of people involved and will therefore undermine the use of the same process when used for other terrorist...

    Things that annoy you

    I would count something being sat at customs for 3 months and counting as broken, and this isn't the first time.

    Things that annoy you

    ordering things from the US. pre-paid customs charges so should be no issue there. package arrives in the UK within 48 hours of ordering but then just sits in a customs warehouse forever and a day. our systems really are broken, not like this is a one off.

    I mean if her concern was a nice payday and a stable long term career in politics she would have just shut up and be blindly re-elected in the next 10 or so election in Cov South!

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    This is something that could be interesting. There were murmurs from within the party that some felt Starmer should have taken a firmer line on those rebelling on the welfare bill, including removing the whip. There's potential that becomes a riskier option in the future. May be a small...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Certain sections of the press certainly seem to have had a call on the bat phone. It will always amaze me how panicked some people get about the left given the left has repeatedly shown itself to be unable to unite as a collective.

    Seems to be enough to have some people rattled.

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    That's a hell of a conclusion to draw about a party that was announced less than 12 hours ago. Also implies that other politicians aren't self serving. Good luck with that :ROFLMAO:

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Would be interesting if Polanski wins and does make some sort of agreement with this new party. Seen reports that attribute a surge in green party membership to his leadership bid. Wonder how worried Labour are about the unions. It seems Unite are very much behind this new party, at least the...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    That's the thing, you get scare stories saying the DWP spend 279bn but 124bn of that is pensions! We spend another 32bn on adult social care, which sits outside the DWP payments, and over 50% of that is on pensioners. The only other 2 areas of DWP payments that are large enough to have any...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    1.8m people get attendance allowance, 1.4m get carers allowance, PIP is 3.5m. Its interesting to look at the changes, number of pension claims increasing, pension credit increasing dramatically, huge increases in bereavement support payments (basically the old widows pension), PIP increasing as...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Suspect they won't get far, for a number of reasons. Firstly there's very few people in politics who aren't self serving so I doubt many others will make the jump, although Zack Polanski has already extending the olive branch so if he wins the Greens leadership election that could be...

    All-purpose tennis thread

    We could be very thin on the ground going into the second week. Incredibly tough game coming up for Raducanu, Norrie's is a good match up he should probably win but could go either way. Only really Kartal you'd expect to win.
