Thing is by linking it to pension credit all they can do is increase the number of people on pension credit which will surely eat up any savings made? Of course they could guarantee every pensioner a well insulated house. That would be on brand. But you can’t do it before winter and the...

But different though when you’ve got some of the best economic performance but an electorate too polarised to notice. Nothing to do with the deficit. You’re right though no voter rewards you for a smaller deficit.

Im not sure US politics is applicable to anywhere else TBH. Country is cooked.

What did make me laugh is one of the radical feminists I follow was blaming it all on Starmers masculinity and need to look tough and if we had a woman none of this would happen. I did remind her we have the first female chancellor.

Though this is also bollocks. By definition it’s not the poorest pensioners is it Diane you lemon? As bad as the moron that said pensioners need money cos they fought in the war.

Its just bollocks isn’t it. “Oh blame the tories”. The Tories didn’t make you refuse to raise any taxes or follow batshit economic theory of cutting for prosperity.

Wasn’t a problem when you could just take the plug off. Can’t remember the last electronics I bought where you could tho.

Wish someone would force me to come to work for £20k/wk

Anyone who thinks any of our players would turn down PL football is naive. The Sheff Utd bid came in last minute. He wasn’t angling for it for a good year. Listen, you hate the ex players you want and I’ll hate the ones I want how about that?

Hamer hasn’t said anything about the club since he left and was up front about it the whole way through. Not his fault no one came in bar Sheff Utd. He also earned the club £15m.

We’re still below pre Covid levels! No growth for four years. You realise this is the first time in history a UK government has failed to raise living standards during its term? Honestly give this up you’re looking sillier by the day. We get it “grr Labour” but keep it realistic.

I don’t like players that take the piss out of my club 🤷🏻‍♂️ You’ll notice he’s about the only player I’ve got an issue with because none of the rest are full of themselves have it the big I love the club lied repeatedly then ran their contract down while refusing to play properly then slagged...

You’re still taking one quarter as some evidence of a great economy. Small growth from a low base doesn’t mean shit when it’s been preceded by 16 years of stagnation. It’s just fundamentally unserious to point to a momentary uptick and claim all is good. Is hasn’t “filtered down” because it’s an...

Would take that

The right thing to do if they wanted to blow all their political capital up front as seems to be the case was to do a full tax review. More wealth and local taxes, reduce tax elsewhere, etc. Say the Tories left a mess so we’re going to fix it once and for all. Lots of people would have been...

The argument here is the Tories did this successfully and framed Labour as over spenders for the next two decades.

VAT is a hugely regressive tax as it is. Never got sales tax TBH. Why would you want fewer sales?

Not watched but has anyone asked back why we don’t undo the NI cut or raise taxes on the rich?
