Anyway, to pivot away from whether the richest generation needs another £300, this is a fucking scandal.

Because food costs are a smaller percentage of your total spend. Same reason VAT is regressive because the poor spend more on goods and services as a percentage of their income.

You won’t be laughing when he lives the Champions League trophy as captain.

I mean if we’re starting from scratch I simply wouldn’t let pensioners live in substandard homes, or for that matter allow privatised energy companies to price gouge. But in reality when all other benefits have been cut, and we’re talking about cutting services, if something has to go I’d rather...

I hope Latibeaudiere goes on to play 500 games for city just to see exactly how angry Evo can get.

The last resort of a desperate man. It’s OK if you don’t know.

Walk me through how someone who eats less is hit harder by food inflation. Fascinating theory. The poorest pensioner you’re talking about gets at least £12k a year in benefits. Socialism isn’t about taking money from working people to hand to millionaires funnily enough.

If we win we’ll be as close as you can get without being in them.

Well transport yes, housing mostly, they have lower calorie requirements than adults so food inflation hits them less.

It’s not about whether I know them. Their pension has risen by more than the WFP and the likelihood of them being in fuel poverty has reduced. That’s just the facts.

Putting all silliness aside, the pension has gone up by more than the WFP which hasn’t risen with inflation, far fewer pensioners are poor and even fewer are in fuel poverty than when it was introduced. It’s bad politics but in reality nothing bad will happen and virtually no one will be affected.

Are the pensioners the lazy cunts here?

What’s all this then?

Are they going to bother attacking now?

Just crazy bad political instincts. Labour rights problem is always fighting the last election. Its not 2010.

The more I think about it the more it makes sense as a strategy. Talking about fixing foundations, getting the long run right. Talk about the money wasted by the Tories on WFP while cancelling home insulation that was planned. 1.2m households where pensioners rely on state pension for 75% of...

Thermometer.

To steel man Starmer and Reeves I think that’s what they’re going for. They’ve said they want more people to claim pension credit. But politically it’s arse about face. It’s not a £22bn hole, this issue is a £1.6bn hole and that can be long grassed a bit more. Should have lead with getting...

People have been saying this an out the US for decades though and it hasn’t happened. One day the US’s advantages will run out but not any time soon. Tons of land mass, arable, rare minerals, raw materials, easy to defend with no real local conflicts to worry about. Even if you bombed the place...

Ive got some CBD bath salts that are pretty good too. Also I smoke weed.
