    The EU: In, out, shake it all about....

    TUV talking about the deal on the Irish border being a "a stepping stone to a united Ireland" and talking of NI remaining in the EU. Surely that's just wishful thinking on his part.

    Ashes 17/18 Thread

    This is so frustrating. Why didn't they bowl like this in the first innings. Even if we skittle them out for 150 you've got to think that's too much for a run chase.

    Ashes 17/18 Thread

    Don't think many people were expecting us to win the Ashes but this is a shambles. When your number 9 making his debut is the top scorer something is seriously wrong. Aussies will be in for the kill now and looking for 5-0.

    If Spurs could only get 30K why would they restrict the away supporters to 5K and leave 55K empty?

    Villa at home for me. Should be a big crowd, possible TV game and we would have a chance of an upset.

    The EU: In, out, shake it all about....

    1. We don't pay £10bn now, the net is around £8bn. How much is replacing all the agencies and authorities we access as part of the EU going to cost? 2. Its not certain we'll leave the customs union but if we do then we have to negotiate good deals for it to be a benefit. There's also a doubt if...

    Ouch, BT paid £80m for the rights to the Ashes. These are the ratings for the 5 days of the 1st test: 100,000, 106,000, 80,000, 89,000 and 73,000.

    Poll: How long will Trump be President?

    Exactly, if the aim is job creation you give tax breaks on things proven to create jobs. And I think we all know who it will be that foots the bill when there is less public money. It will be austerity and 'we're all in this together'.

    Poll: How long will Trump be President?

    He explicitly stated he wouldn't benefit, he will be millions better off. He kept talking of 'draining the swap', this is exactly the opposite.

    Poll: How long will Trump be President?

    When Bush did it the rich just moved their money to take advantage of the tax cuts but didn't invest in capital projects or job creation. In fact the rate at which jobs moved overseas increased dramatically.

    Any chance we will be seeing these kinds of celebration s anytime soon?

    Poll: How long will Trump be President?

    I seem to have missed his promises of tax breaks for the richest. I certainly remember him stating that any changes to tax laws wouldn't benefit him personally.

    Poll: How long will Trump be President?

    And it wasn't even provided through official routes. The Democrat senators got it off Washington lobbyists! Even the senates own committee estimates it will add $1tn of debt in the next decade.

    Poll: How long will Trump be President?

    Bush did the same thing so its not like this is something totally new. Why not look at when similar tax changes were introduced previously, that should give a good indication of the chances of success. Of course if people did that they'd see it was a disaster triggering a global financial...
