I don’t mind some of the booze duty stuff as it helps hospitality which is much needed. The fuel duty cut for internal flights is just a bit weird

Not sure the wealthy will worry too much about £6.50 per leg SBD. It’s like people saying about a few pence off certain alcohol is for ‘the rich’...come on, really...it’s like the 3p saving per pint is not going to win my vote at the next election. People need to step back and think about how...

Nice one. It’s on the list...must get cracking !

For any sad people like me who might be interested the government Covid page now also shows daily boosters administered https://coronavirus.data.gov.uk/

😂😂...mate if I’m alive in 50 years I’d hate to think what state I’d be in ! As I think you know, my point was who really knows with any level of certainty what will happen economically in a couple of years let alone 5, 10, 20+...as Covid has proven all too well, hence example of the rapidly...

I wouldn’t know 😊 Never had you down for an avid reader of the Express either mate !

I’ve heard James O’Brien this morning as well Tony ! He’s correct that based on current forecasts GDP will be lower in the long term although I didn’t hear over what period he’s talking about as it relates to permanent scaring. ONS has reduced Covid permanent scarring forecast from 3% down in...

I think it’s going to be a tough few months (or longer) all round mate. Hope you can find a way to reduce the squeeze a bit whichever route you take

In terms of booze, that’s how some will try to present it but it’s a bit more complex than that faz. I think most normal people will benefit from the simplification (pub chain shares and comments from the industry reflect that)...

Ill await the detail….not from The Sun obviously. Sounds like he’s chucking a few quid around. The reduction in UC taper makes sense, should’ve been sorted ages ago

Reckon it’s worse than The Sun these days

I’m with Evo on this. I like Walker as a player and he can feel a bit unfortunate to be dropped for Godden after scoring two on the bounce, however Goddens last game against Fulham, one of the best teams in the league, he was one of the best players on the pitch and involved in three goals from...

Is that for the whole of the UK ? Feels about right if England’s 6900

I think you might be right although sometimes Tuesdays death figures are higher because of a bit of a weekend recording lag as well. I always look over 7 days however there’s no doubt been an increase recently. Not really looked into split between U.K. nations although I do keep an eye on PHE...

In a way it’s good to be 4th and still have a few players on the bench that fans think should be starting. You just hope Robins picks on form and fitness. If so, his call* *Vik didn’t look right against Preston or Derby. Hopefully he’s fully fit for Saturday. Hard to argue too hard against...

Id imagine we’d be down to around over 25s by then if we’re sticking to a 5-6 month gap between second doses and booster. From memory Italy opened up jabs to their younger age groups a bit earlier

Great news Ben Stokes is heading to the ashes. Hope it’s not too much for him physically or mentally…top player and great to have him back !

Beat me to it ! Let’s hope so anyway

Yeah, good news over the last few days. It’s too early to say but maybe there was an element of the return to school spike, which Scotland also saw before cases eventually reduced...it just appeared to take a bit longer to filter through in England. Fingers crossed anyway Also with half term...

I agree. It’s also short and snappy messaging which has proven to be effective with voters
