    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Wonder if this is all part of his masterplan though. Cummings waits for Hancock to tell his version of events at the hearing (perjure himself for want of a better phrase) and then after it’s done Cummings produces his evidence. Hancock doubly in the shit.

    So now Jimmy Anderson is having to apologise for saying Broad had a haircut like a 15 year lesbian 10 years ago. I mean FFS. Basically we can all cut any joking/banter with mates in public as we will undoubtedly offend someone, if not now, probably in 5, 10, 15 years to come ! Ps Robinsons...

    Coronavirus Thread (Off Topic, Politics)

    There’s all sorts going on from gov and gov scientists (has been all the way through). There’s an element of testing the waters, managing expectations, trying to ensure people don’t go too crazy too soon etc etc Just pleased we’ve got some good weather which will hopefully help (more people...

    Sorry, misunderstood a little (hence pension suggestion). Yeah, not sure about one off lumps and whether payroll can do anything for you or you’ll just have to wait for end of tax year rebate if they’ve over taxed you Or as Dave says, wonder if they could pay it in separate smaller lumps (pain...

    Disgusted to read that from you shmmeee 😊. Possibly stick into a SIPP pension* (do any stocks and shares trading via there - you’ll already know the gov (via pension provider) automatically top up contributions with a basic rate relief, you can claim back higher relief via self assessment and...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Agree about the challenges around rural/urban constituencies. Its a tricky balance between serving the constituency and then MPs forming part of central government. The latter is why I think constituencies should be broadly equal in populations though Ps last thing any of us want is a more...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    But there’s no curtailing, it’s proposing making constituencies an equal size, which conceptually is correct (it’s how it’s delivered which needs proper scrutiny). Aa I said above the democrats have wanted to do something similar in US for ages as it’s 10 times worse there Ps don’t get me...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Think that’s a little OTT BSB. This shouldve happened a long time ago ie roughly same number of people in each constituency (Also should happen in US where it’s even more ridiculous !) I’d have personally liked it to have been with a cut in number of MPs and reform of House of Lords like...

    Coronavirus Thread (Off Topic, Politics)

    The media and certain scientists are just relentless though. I have no issue with either saying or supporting the view that if hospitalisations/severe illnesses increase at a rate then we should delay the full reopening for a short period, or tweak some of the relaxations of remaining...

    European championships 2020 thread

    Yeah, was saying earlier I can see White getting minutes (possibly at the expense of the above). Decent footballer Thought JWP looked good as well. If hendo is way off fitness they might be better taking him instead

    Presume it’s to do with numbers/volume. These are just headline announcements though. There’s varying pace of roll outs across England regions (and even within regions). My ex has had two jabs and she’s only 40

    Nicks right in a sense though Shmmeee, that’s what the public sees. Said before both main parties have focussed too much inwardly for years rather than delivering for the country...battles between leave/remain (both parties), far left/centre (labour) have left us with substandard front benches...

    Hmmm, not too sure about that BSB. By all accounts the SNP haven’t been delivering but remain in power mainly due to the nationalist rhetoric (so not dissimilar to here) whilst gladly throwing around UKs cash. Got to be honest, I don’t know enough about Wales to really comment about performance
